Liu Xiu was a monarch in the Eastern Han Dynasty and ascended the throne in the first year of Jianwu. Later, after years of war, Liu Xiu successfully unified the world and made the heroes of the world submit to their own feet. Later, Liu Xiu called this move "the glory of martial arts".

However, although Liu Xiu claimed to be the descendant of Emperor Gaozu and the legal heir of the Western Han Dynasty, he did not set Chang 'an as his capital, but Luoyang. You know, the model points out that the capital of the Western Han Dynasty is Chang 'an.

Of course, Liu Xiu is so clever that he naturally has his own reasons for making Luoyang his capital. After many analyses, netizens pointed out the reasons why Liu Xiu built Luoyang as the capital. Let's have a look.

First of all, many netizens think that Luoyang itself is a better place, and since the Western Zhou Dynasty, Luoyang has been one of the two major capitals in the world. At the same time, in the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang made Luoyang his capital temporarily, and Liu Xiu claimed to be the descendant of Emperor Gaozu, so it is not surprising that he made Luoyang his capital.

At the same time, some netizens believe that because of the war that broke out at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Guanzhong economy plummeted directly. Because Chang 'an is the core Guanzhong area, it has been devastated by war. The buildings in Chang 'an City were seriously damaged, and many fields in Chang 'an City were destroyed, which led to the famine in Chang 'an City.

Therefore, Liu Xiu thinks it unwise to build the capital in Chang 'an. On the one hand, rebuilding Chang 'an wastes people and money; on the other hand, Chang 'an suffers from famine and barren fields, which leads to economic depression. Therefore, it is relatively wise to choose Luoyang with less capital damage. At the same time, at that time, the connection point between the two factions that sent Liu Xiu to the throne, that is, Nanyang geographical forces and Hebei Longxing forces, was in Luoyang, so it was reasonable for Liu Xiu to make Luoyang its capital.
