History[edit | edit source]
Pinjiang has a long history of human settlement dating back thousands of years. This is due to heavy deposits of soil in the Pinjiang river valley which made it ideal for farming and thus farming kingdoms. Between 1000 BCE and 500 BCE, the Makan people built several earthen mounds to stay above water level and also to bury their dead. These structures survive today in the Qimai-Makan'ge National Archeological Park. During the classical period, these structures became the center of settlements such as Jianhua with the Kamjana Kingdom taking over around 120 CE.
Geography[edit | edit source]
Pinjiang is a mostly mountainous province with the northern and eastern portion of the province being part of the Sierra Blanco Mountains. Glaciers and snow-melt in the the mountains feed three rivers which form central Pinjiang. The Cebulara River is the westernmost starting near the Tian Ge Ski Area before flowing into a namesake valley and through the capital city of Jian Hua before reaching the coast at Puerto Antonio and the western region of the Damensara wetlands. In the center, the Kanchankali River begins at various springs before forming it's namesake valley. This region has wide banks and fertile farmland which have led to around 50% of the provinces living along the river including the largest city of the province, Taintao. It then reaches the ocean, forming a large silt deposit known of it's high quality oysters and seaweed. The western-most river is the Qimai, which actually begins at the base of Mt Silverado before flowing into the province and forming the western-boundary with San Fernando Province. This region is known for its clay and pottery production always as production of various dyes.
