Whether a dynasty is brilliant or not, it will leave its own traces in history. And there is one tradition that has been preserved, that is, the choice of the capital city. After the emperor established his dynasty, they would choose a city as the capital of the country, which was both the political center and the economic center of the time.
In the history of wine in our country, countless dynasties have emerged, and they all have their own capitals, of course, because some cities are more famous, and some dynasties are also cities that choose to repeat. After all, as the capital of a country, the prosperity here is unmatched in other regions.
In china, you can find many famous cities with a long history, they have experienced the construction of many dynasties, like Anyang Luoyang, Xi'an, these cities have left their own glorious history in history. I think people probably know a lot about Chang'an City! Three thousand lights and sparks filled the city, and the ancients were very yearning for Chang'an City.
At that time, many people were very yearning for Chang'an City, and they all wanted to see the prosperity of the city in person. Both the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty designated their capital city as Chang'an City, which is enough to prove how important this city was in ancient times. Although both dynasties called the capital Chang'an City, they still had a difference.
From their positions, it can be seen that the Chang'an City of the two dynasties is not in the same place at all, and although they are very close, they are still somewhat distant. During the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City has developed rapidly, and the city's fame is also getting bigger and bigger, and it is also well known in the world.
In the Tang Dynasty, another Chang'an City was built, so everyone may have their own doubts. Why do we need to build another one? Is it because the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty is not as good as the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty? Or is it something else? In fact, all this is related to the development of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty.
The Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty was established in the time of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, after a fierce struggle, Liu Bang finally established the Han Empire, after the establishment of the empire, the location of the capital city became a problem, at that time the Xianyang City of the Qin Dynasty had been destroyed, so this place was not advisable.
After some advice from his subordinates, and through observation of the geographical situation, Liu Bang finally made up his mind that he would set up his capital in the Guanzhong region. In the later period, Liu Bang lived in Changle Palace, which was actually the departure palace of the previous Qin Dynasty, but it was not possible for the old car to live in a palace, which was not in line with the image of a big country.
Therefore, the construction of Chang'an City also began, because the project is huge, the funds consumed are also a huge amount of money, so this project is also fully controlled by Xiao He, and the construction of the capital city is also quite important, after all, it represents the face of a country and is also the political center of the country.
Therefore, Liu Bang also attached great importance to the construction of Chang'an City, fortunately, the construction was very smooth at that time, and after the completion of Chang'an City, it had more than 40 palace groups, even now it is very famous, Weiyang Palace is also among them. Although it has begun to take shape, this is still only the initial construction stage, and the future Chang'an City has also been continuously developed.
Later, Chang'an City experienced the continuous construction of successive Han Dynasty emperors, and it can be said that it was also a magnificent capital city in the world, and Chang'an City at that time also contained various fields, even if foreign missions came, they also praised it. However, when it came to the Tang Dynasty, it did not choose to use the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, which was also for this reason.
This is still a problem with some of the concepts of the ancients, at that time, for the construction of Chang'an City, they actually held such an idea, they felt that if there was no perfect place, they would rebuild it, although the scale was constantly expanding, but there was indeed some fragmentation on the whole. That brings out the overall function of a city.
We can also say that the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty lacked a holistic design, after all, that era was some time away from us, although it looked very spectacular at the time, but it was vaguely arbitrary. Because they did not do an overall plan, but the dynasties and dynasties continued to tinker with it.
When it came to the Tang Dynasty, the strength of the Sheng Tang Was strong, which we all saw, so they were more rigorous and meticulous about the capital, so they also wanted to rebuild a Chang'an City. Of course, the reason is not so simple, for a country's capital, the carrying capacity of the population is undoubtedly very important.
The strength of the country will also make the population grow rapidly, so the capacity of the city will become a crucial problem, the extra population, you can not let people live in the wilderness, right? The population of the Tang Dynasty was far greater than that of the Han Dynasty, so the rebuilding of Chang'an City was also necessary because it could no longer accommodate so many people.
There are also many objective factors that also affect the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, such as war. In the years after the Han Dynasty, there were also many large wars, and the reasons for the war caused the destruction of this Chang'an City, and some places could no longer be repaired. As the saying goes, if it is not broken, it will not be established, when the Tang Dynasty was first established, as a new dynasty, they did need a new capital to prove to the world the strength of the country.
Therefore, under the influence of these various reasons, the monarchs of the Tang Dynasty also chose to rebuild Chang'an City, which is what we later know, Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty. But no matter how it has changed, the name of Chang'an City has been left in history forever, and people are also very yearning for chang'an in ancient times, and the magnificent scenery of the city full of lights is also fascinating!
Conclusion: Chang'an Is a familiar name, and in ancient times, this was what people wanted to protect. The capital of a country symbolizes the face of the country, and the former Chang'an is also proud of us, and now Xi'an also has a beautiful future. Whether it is Chang'an or Xi'an, we all believe that it will have better development!
