Chaoge is now Qi County, Hebi City.

Qi County was called Mo in ancient times. At the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it was called Chaoge. As far back as the Neolithic Age, more than 7,000 years ago, there were human activities along the Qi River in the hills in the northwest. At that time, humans were able to grind finer stone axes, stone sickles and other tools. Later, it began to develop eastward along both sides of the Qishui River, and a primitive settlement was established in the area of ??Huawo Village, Gaocun Town, now known as the "Huawo Site". At that time, human production methods shifted from primitive agriculture and animal husbandry of hunting, fishing, and collecting wild fruits to slash-and-burn farming.

During the Yangshao period six thousand years ago, the ancestors living in Qi developed along the Qishui River from northwest to southeast. Primitive settlements were established at the head of the north river of today's Yangzhuang, Shihe'an, Shifo Temple, Dongjinzhuang, and northwest of the river mouth. Production tools include clams and sickles. Men in primitive settlements, due to their strong bodies, were in an advantageous position in catching prey and tribal battles, and gradually became the leaders in production and life.
