And the capital history of 65,438+0,500 years, 65,438+0,005 emperors successively settled in Kyushu. It is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation. It is an important hub of the Grand Canal in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Peony is famous all over the world because of Luoyang, and is known as the "Millennium Imperial Capital, Peony Flower City".

Luoyang is the ancient capital of the 13th dynasty. At the same time, Luoyang is also known as the "ancient capital of nine dynasties", named after the "metropolis of nine dynasties" in the couplet of the gate of Songyang Academy sealed by Emperor Qianlong.

Luoyang, referred to as "Luo" for short, has a history of 4000 years, 1529 years, because it is located in the north of Guluo River. Since the first dynasty, Xia Dynasty, there have been 13 emperors, namely Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei, Sui, Tang, Hou Liang, Later Tang and Later Jin, who established their capitals here, and 105 emperors settled in Kyushu. It is the capital with the earliest capital, the longest time, the most dynasties and the longest span in the history of China. It is also the only city named after the "God Capital" in the history of China. The Book of Hutuluo was born here, and "Confucianism, Buddhism, metaphysics and truth" began here. The Silk Road and the Sui and Tang Grand Canal meet here.

1. Geographical advantages:

Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, in the west of Henan Province, across the middle reaches of the Yellow River. There are Yellow River, Luohe River and Yi River in China. Hanguguan starts from Qinling Mountain in the west, which is the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province, bordering Song Yue in the east, Taihang Mountain and Yellow River in the north, Funiu Mountain in the south and Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It can be said that there are mountains and rivers, and there is a saying that "the situation is the best in the world".

2. Traffic points:

The advantage of Luoyang is still in traffic. With the transportation economy as the capital, it extends in all directions and has the benefit of water transportation in the world. The Ilo Valley where Luoyang is located is relatively narrow, so its economic center is not here, and the agricultural production in Luoyang area is not very developed. But Luoyang's good geographical location and traffic conditions have become its greatest advantage. When Emperor Yangdi Yang Di dug the Grand Canal, Yongji Canal and Tongji Canal respectively extended to the northeast and southeast with Luoyang as the center. Luoyang has become the hub of the Grand Canal and the largest grain distribution center in China. There were two granaries in Luoyang in Sui Dynasty, namely Jiacang and Luokou, but the grain was not used up during Zhenguan period in Tang Dynasty.

3. Granary:

For Qin, who was determined to unify China from the beginning, it was not enough to occupy the Weihe Plain. In addition to the rich Guanzhong Plain, Qin naturally needs to open up more grain-producing areas, and their eyes are focused on the Sichuan Basin in the south of Guanzhong Plain. Soon, Qin extended its sphere of influence to Sichuan Basin. Since then, plus Li Bing's excellent water conservancy construction. Sichuan Basin has changed from a poor place to a "land of abundance". Coupled with the advantages of natural geography, Luoyang has become the largest grain distribution center in China. However, if the grain is transported from Luoyang to Chang 'an or other places, it will not only take more than 1000 miles, but also capsize accidents often occur in Sanmenxia area. The simplest way to solve this difficulty is to move the capital to Luoyang. In this way, Luoyang naturally became the biggest beneficiary.
