Those things in the ancient capital
It is understood that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the "four ancient capitals" recognized by the academic community were Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing, and Luoyang.
In the 1960s, Mr. Chen Qiaoyi, a famous professor at Zhejiang University, proposed that the capital cities of the two Song Dynasties, Kaifeng and Hangzhou, should also be included in the ranks of ancient capitals, which was later recognized by the academic community. In 1983, the book "Six Ancient Capitals of China" was officially published, which clearly regarded Hangzhou and Kaifeng as the "Six Ancient Capitals".
Subsequently, Mr. Tan Qijun, a famous professor at Fudan University, suggested that Anyang, the hometown of the Yin Ruins Oracle and the capital of the Wei state during the Three Kingdoms period, be listed as one of the "Great Ancient Capitals"; in 1988, the Chinese Society of Ancient Capitals passed the resolution of the "Seven Ancient Capitals", and Anyang was officially listed among them.
Later, a number of cities were successively promoted by the government to enter the ranks of the ancient capitals, and Zhengzhou and Datong were also successively identified as "great ancient capitals". With the inclusion of Chengdu, there are "ten ancient capitals" in the country.

Xi'an, known as "Chang'an" and "Jingzhao" in ancient times, was praised by the ancestors of the Chinese nation as "the golden city of thousands of miles, the country of heaven" in the "History". The "Lantian Ape Man" flourished here, the Neolithic "Banpo Ancestors" established tribes here, and the ancestors of the Zhou people originated here. In the eleventh century BC, King Wen of Zhou established Fenghao Erjing on both sides of the FengHe River, thus unveiling the glorious history of the thousand-year imperial capital of Xi'an, with a history of more than 3,100 years of city building and more than 1,200 years of capital construction.
Xi'an is known as the "Ancient Capital of the Thirteen Dynasties", mainly in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Qin Emperor Mausoleum and the imperial tombs scattered around Guanzhong show the city's majestic and thick historical and cultural heritage, and the long history and cultural accumulation makes Xi'an enjoy the reputation of "Natural History Museum".
Luoyang
The Heluo region, centered on Luoyang, is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization. The Erlitou culture near Luoyang is an important historical and cultural site of the Bronze Age in China. Although Luoyang is not very far from Guanzhong, it belongs to the central plains of the ancient "Shandong" (east of Huashan), which has always been the center and most important birthplace of the Chinese nation, and is also an ancient synonym for "China".
Luoyang became a famous ancient capital in ancient China, often alongside Xi'an. As the starting point of the Sui and Tang Dynasties Grand Canal, Luoyang has long established closer ties with the rich Jianghuai River Basin and taihu Lake Basin.
Ancient Luoyang, known as "the world under heaven", was the meeting place of the eight merchants, and in ancient times there was an atmosphere of attaching importance to commerce, which may also be related to the fact that Luoyang was once the capital of the early Shang Dynasty that attached importance to commerce.
nanking
The famous "Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties". The great value of Nanjing's history and culture lies first of all in the fact that it has irreplaceable historical significance for the existence and extinction of the Han nationality, the main ethnic group of the Chinese nation.
Some people say that only by losing can we know more precious, which is the reason why the main theme of patriotism in Nanjing's history and culture for thousands of years is more obvious than in other cities.
The second feature of Nanjing's history and culture is "Jiangnan Jialidi, Jinling Imperial Prefecture". It is the only city on the Yangtze River with the widest river basin and the richest products in China's famous ancient capital.
The rebirth after many wars and chaos is the main reason why the city of Nanjing is more open-minded and tolerant. The Nanjing people's mantra, "What a big deal," seems to be the tone of the city itself that has been reborn after the disaster. The self-deprecation of "Nanjing Radish" has a humor that is rare Chinese.
Beijing
A history of Beijing is half of the history of ancient Chinese national wars and national integration. The history and culture of Beijing is inevitably filled with the spirit of Shangwu Shangyong, who is golden and iron-horse, generous and tragic. From ancient poems and sayings such as "wind and xiao are easy to be cold and water is cold", "Yan Zhao is a hero", we can appreciate the unique spirit of this history and culture.
Beijing is also the capital of the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties that are closest to us in ancient times, although its surrounding products are not enough to support the huge capital, and it has long relied on the transportation of the south; but its cultural relics and cultural accumulation are the most, and there are talents from all over the world gathered throughout the ages, so it is also a historical ancient capital with extremely deep cultural heritage and rarely matched in the sea.
