The Yuan-era Shaanxi province included the majority of present-day Shaanxi Province, the south-western part of Inner Mongolia, south-eastern Gansu (around Qingyuan), north-western Sichuan, and a small part of Qinghai.
During the Northern Song dynasty it was mostly part of the Yongxing Jun, capital also at Xi'an. Following the Jin-Song Wars, the Jurchen-led Jin dynasty established rule over the northern part of area, establishing Jingzhao Fu, Qingyuan, and Xiqin.
In 2015 a Yuan-era tomb fresco was excavated in Luogetai village, Gao town, Hengshan county, Yulin city in Shaanxi province.[2]
