On September 11, the 38th year of the Republic of China (1949), Minxian County was peacefully liberated.The first special area (Minxian District) is located in Minxian County, leading Minxian County, Longxi County, Zhangxian County, Lintan County, Xiahe County and Zhuoni Administrative Bureau.On September 22, the CPC Gansu Provincial Committee telegraphed that the former Huining District was renamed Dingxi District, and the special agency was moved from Huining to Dingxi.It has jurisdiction over 7 counties, namely Dingxi, Yuzhong, Huining, Jingyuan, Jingning, Xiji and Haiyuan. Jingtai County, which was originally under its jurisdiction, is divided into Wuwei District.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in October 1949, Minxian District was set up in Minxian County, which governs Minxian County, Weiyuan County, Huichuan County, Zhangxian County, Longxi County, Lintan County and Zhuoni Administrative Bureau.

It was cast with copper and iron coins. It has the titles of Yuanyou, Shaosheng, Daguan, etc., casting hundreds of thousands of rounds every year".The Dictionary of Place Names says: "The ancient site of Taoshanjian is in the west of Min County, Gansu Province today".In recent years, some experts studying ancient coins have visited Minxian County for many times about the location of Taoshan Supervisor.Someone said: "The records in the Annals of Geography are unknown. According to the General Texts of Literature, it should be 150 steps to the west of the city, five feet at a time, maybe to the west outside the city of Min County." Actually, it is wrong. It is in Qingshui Village, Qingshui Township, Min County.According to textual research, Bu is the place where ships stop at the water.Liu Zongyuan, a litterateur of the Tang Dynasty, said in his "Yongzhou Iron Furnace Buzhi" that "every boat that can be swept up and down is called Bu".In ancient times, Qingshui Village was the boundary between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Tibetan League in the Tang Dynasty.

Later, local officials cast the bell and hung it in the Immortal Cave.In April 1989, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, more than 10000 jin of "Zhihe Heavy Treasure" was unearthed from Yeliguan, Lintan County, and the word "Tao" was cast on the back, which is an example of Mingxian.[31]
