[Pay attention to us, see the historical puzzle with one hand.] 】
Since the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the land of China has the rudiments of feudal society, so the city where the monarch lives is called the national capital, and the state is the political center of the country and the central seat, which is of great significance, so which cities were established in ancient times to become the capital? Let's take a look.
Due to the frequent relocation of the capital in the Summer and Shang Weeks, in order to avoid duplication, we can list the provinces more intuitively.
Henan Province was the ancient Central Plains, where most dynasties built their capitals, and now Henan: Yuzhou, Dengfeng, Erlitou, Shangqiu, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Huang County of Anyang City, Xiaotun Village, Hebi and Hebiqi County, Huaiyang, Xincai, Xinzheng, Xuchang, Kaifeng.
The second largest province in the capital of the country is Shaanxi, and now Shaanxi: Xi'an and Xianyang. In terms of quantity, only two cities in Shaanxi have become the capital of the country, but these two cities are the capitals of many dynasties. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Xia, Shang, Zhou dynasties, people's areas of activity are in Shaanxi and Henan, after the Zhou Wu King Ji fa crusade against the King of Shang, divided many areas to brothers and nephews, as well as some meritorious ministers, so other parts of China are gradually reclaimed by our ancestors to live.
Then let's look at the cities that were once the capitals of the country from the Spring and Autumn Warring States:
The State of Qi was the first state to dominate in the Spring and Autumn Period, and in the present-day Shandong region, the capital of the state was Linzi, Shandong; the capital of the State of Lu was Qufu, Shandong; the State of Song was in Shangqiu, Henan; the State of Zhengzhou, Zhengzhou, Zhengzhou, Henan; the State of Chen was in Huaiyang, Henan; the State of Qin was in the territory of Baoji Fengxiang before, and later moved to Xianyang; the capital of Korea was in Yuzhou, Henan, and later moved to Xinzheng; the State of Zhao was in Taiyuan, Shanxi; the State of Wei was in Kaifeng, and the State of Chu in the south was in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, and later in Shou County, Anhui; the State of Wu was Suzhou; the State of Yue shaoxing; the State of Yan deserves special mention. The capital is in Beijing.
Many of the above cities are county-level cities, may not be locals, many people are very born, but who can think that they were once the capital of a country, one of the most prosperous metropolises, like the Spring and Autumn Period of the State of Qi capital Linzi, Shandong, the Warring States period of the Zhao Capital City of Taiyuan, Shanxi, are the most prosperous cities in the country, just like the current north, Upper, Guangzhou, Deep.
After the unification of the six kingdoms of the Qin State, the capital is Xianyang, and the subsequent Luoyang, Xi'an, and Nanjing are all ancient capitals of several generations and are also widely known, and we will look at other cities that are ancient capitals.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Northern Wei state was in datong, Shanxi; Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, and Anyang, Henan. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the capital of the country was mostly in Kaifeng, Henan. The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was from Kaifeng to Luoyang and Shangqiu, and the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was moved to Hangzhou.
Then there was the regime established by ethnic minorities, and the capital of the Liao state was in The Left Banner of Balin in Inner Mongolia, which was later moved to Beijing. The capital of the Western Xia Kingdom was Yinchuan in Ningxia. The capital of the Jin Dynasty began in Acheng, Heilongjiang, and then moved to Beijing as a Kaifeng and Shangqiu because of the war with the Southern Song Dynasty. The capital of the Yuan Dynasty was also in Beijing. After the Ming Dynasty, the capital city was changed back and forth between Beijing and Nanjing.
