Since entering the Xia Dynasty, the land of Karaqin Banner has been the territory of Shanrong, Donghu, Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xi, Khitan, Han, Jurchen, and Mongolian ethnic groups. In the late Warring States period, the Donghu tribe posed a military threat to the northern border of the Yan state. Yan defeated the Donghu in Kainansha, Qin, and built the Great Wall. Five counties were set up along the line. Today, the territory of Haraqin Banner is under the jurisdiction of Youbeiping County. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Xianyu Wenbu Dongzhao built Yazhang in Zimengchuan. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there were Raodongle Dudufu and Gongmo Dudufu, and the Haraqin Banner territory belonged to the two prefectures.

In 916 AD, Yelu Abaoji unified the Khitan and established the Khitan Kingdom, which was later renamed Liao. The Liao emperor absorbed Han culture, expanded his territory, created Khitan characters, established agriculture and animal husbandry, and became a powerful political power in the north. After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, wars continued frequently and the economy declined. The ancient battlefield of Shiquangou in Banner tells the story of the history of fighting and iron horses, and blood-stained green mountains. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the territory of Haraqin Banner came under the jurisdiction of Shangdu Road. Genghis Khan's honorable minister Lemi (Zilama) was the ancestor of the Uliangha tribe who later moved to the Karaqin area.

In the sixth year of Tomorrow Shun (1462), Boluo Te led more than 10,000 Hu cavalry to the east and returned to Wuliangha. From then on, the Kalaqin tribe of the three guards of Uliangha appeared.

In the second year of Tiancong (1629), Subudi, the fourteenth grandson of Jilama, the son of Zalchutai, a minister of the Karaqin tribe, and his uncle Seleng of the same clan, raised gold from the tribe. Seal and occupy the territory of Karaqin's left and right banners. In the ninth year of Tiancong, Subudi's son Gulusqibu was appointed as Zasak, the right-wing banner of Karaqin, in charge of Jianping, Harqin and other places. Seleng was appointed Zasak, the right-wing banner of Karaqin, in charge of today's Kazuo and Lingyuan areas. The two left and right banners of Karaqin and the three left, middle and right banners of Tumut are under the jurisdiction of Zhuosuotu League in Inner Mongolia.

The Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) implemented a league-flag system for most of Mongolia. Leagues were formed every three years. Each Qisak banner governed independently and was directly governed by the Qing court. The Qing court promoted officials and nobles to the princes and nobles of the Mongolian banner. The first Qisak Gulusqibu of the Karaqin Right Wing Banner was Baylor, the third Qisak Bandarsha Jinjun Wang, and the eighth Qisak Ratnashedi was granted the title of prince by the Qing court.

After the success of the Revolution of 1911 (1912), Qisak Gongsan Norbu of the Karaqin Right Banner formed the Mongolian Princes and Princes Association and issued a statement in favor of peace with Japan and the establishment of the Republic of China.
