Nabo, in Khitan language, means the residence where the emperor and the central government travel, and it means the palace, the place where he travels, and the place where he stays. It is a proper term for the royal ruling system of the Liao Dynasty. The emperors of the Liao Dynasty, the central government, members of the royal family, and local dignitaries lived in pursuit of water and grass throughout the year, with spring water and autumn mountains, warmer winters and cooler summers, and nomadic fishing and hunting. Chun Na Bo is the spring palace and imperial city of the Liao emperor and his central government. In 2009, the third cultural relic census organized by Jilin Province made a major discovery that shocked the world. In Qian'an on the west bank of Chagan Lake, four Chun Nabo ruins from the Liao Dynasty have been discovered. The people who brought this surprise to the archaeological community were Ma Fuwen, director of the Qian'an County Cultural Bureau, and Wang Zhongjun, director of the County Cultural Relics and Archeology Institute.
