Introduction to Chang 'an:

Chang 'an, called Xi 'an in ancient times, is located in the middle of Guanzhong Plain. Known as the "Golden City with a Thousand Miles" and "Land of Abundance", it is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.

Historical evolution:

After Lantian ape-man and Banpo clan, 1 1 century BC to 10 century AD, 13 dynasties established their capital here. Xi, Rome, Cairo and Athens are also called the four ancient capitals in the world. It is the capital with the most dynasties, the longest time and the greatest influence in the history of China, and the birthplace of Chinese civilization.

The Western Zhou Dynasty developed literature and martial arts here, and the system of rites and music laid the foundation of Chinese civilization. Qin swept Liuhe, established a unified feudal empire and defined the national political framework for more than two thousand years. The Western Han Dynasty "ousted a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", which opened up the "Silk Road" and formed the ideological basis of China's feudal dynasty rule, becoming a big country with the same name as Rome.

The empire vigorously governed and the society was open, which created a brilliant Tang Dynasty. As a model of the ancient capital, Chang 'an City has created splendid ancient civilization with its rigorous layout, grand scale and rich humanities, which has had a far-reaching influence in the world. The Silk Road started in Chang 'an and ended in ancient Rome in the west.

Xi is a world-famous historical city, along with Rome, Athens and Cairo. It is also the oldest of the six ancient capitals in China, and Chang 'an culture represents the backbone of China culture. Chang 'an, the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty, is one of the famous national historical and cultural cities announced by the State Council, the eastern starting point of the Silk Road, and a typical example of the separation of China city (commercial district) and square (residential district).

Prehistoric period:

The city of Chang 'an, the site of Yangguanzhai, has a long history. Lantian people established settlements here as early as 1 10,000 years ago. During the Yangshao culture period 7000 years ago, the embryonic form of the city wall appeared here, and Banpo site was the representative of Yangshao culture.

Pushing the history of East Asian cities to the late Neolithic Age 6000 years ago, this settlement, which is equivalent to the size of 40 standard football fields, may be the earliest city in East Asia, with a moat of 1945 meters on the edge of the city. There has been a simple division of labor in society, and there are some institutional links besides blood relationship.
