The situation in Luoyang is different from other places, Luoyang is an important place in the Central Plains, and from ancient times to the present, there is a country and a capital. In the long history of our country, there have been 24 dynasties and 83 dynasties. Each dynasty would choose to build its capital in different places due to geographical location, cultural factors and other reasons. These cities are known as the ancient capitals of China because of the emperors who once stayed here and because of their rich cultural heritage. So Luoyang, Xi'an, Nanjing, Beijing, Kaifeng, who is the "first ancient capital of China"?

Chinese love peonies and regard them as a symbol of great wealth and nobility, and Luoyang is rich in peonies. In the history of our country, there have been 13 dynasties that built their capitals in Luoyang. Not only that, Luoyang is also one of the birthplaces of our Chinese civilization, and it can be said that Luoyang, a treasure land, gave birth to our great nation and culture. Today, Luoyang also has the ruins of several capitals, and Luoyang is a treasure that records the development of Chinese culture.

Speaking of the ancient capital, we must mention Xi'an, which was called Chang'an in ancient times. Interestingly, Xi'an was also the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties. The story of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei in Huaqing Pond, the terracotta warriors and horses built by Qin Shi Huang, etc., Xi'an's historical and cultural resources are also very rich. For tourists who like history and culture, Xi'an must be the place to go.

Speaking of Nanjing, you may wonder why this modern city is also known as the ancient capital. But when it comes to Jinling, no one will object to it being the ancient capital, and Nanjing used to be named Jinling. If you talk about modern Chinese history, then everyone will remember Nanjing. But in fact, Nanjing is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization, and it has a history of nearly 500 years. And Nanjing's prehistoric culture is also very rich, which has also become Nanjing's unique charm.

Even though Beijing is one of the most modern cities in China, no one will object to calling Beijing the ancient capital, because the Forbidden City is really too famous. Beijing is the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and everyone knows it. But in fact, Beijing is also the capital of Liao and the capital of Jinzhong. Although many cultural relics have been preserved in the Palace Museum, if the Summer Palace is still there, whether it is a building or a cultural relic, it will once again shock the world.

Kaifeng feels like an ancient capital, because Bao Qingtian is too famous. But in fact, Kaifeng is the ancient capital of the 8 dynasties. The history of its founding and capital has been more than 4,100 years so far, and our Chinese civilization is only 5,000 years old. Kaifeng also has the title of the hometown of opera, which is the birthplace of Henan opera.

These five cities all have their own unique historical and cultural charm, and all of them once had dynasties set their capitals here. Although they are all ancient capitals of our country, if you want to say who is the first, it depends on what you think of it in your hearts. The significance of Luoyang is too important for Yelulongxu, in his opinion, such a historical ancient capital should respond to the prosperity of the Central Plains Dynasty, and if he captures Luoyang today, it will be too great for the future to attack the Central Plains and dominate the world. For the people of Luoyang as a whole, Yelu Longxu's policy is a little more relaxed, and his approach at the moment is also more able to win people's hearts.

From ancient times to the present, governing the world, not to attack, this time Yelu Long continued to find so many people just to discuss the governance of Luoyang, Liao, and now the entire large area of Hebei has become their big Liao's bag, mainly now it is not used to attack, but to govern, Yelu Long continues this person is very deep, although he is young, but his vision sees that others can't see things, only if you see far, can you better govern Luoyang.

The significance of Luoyang is really unusual in ancient times, for example, Luoyang is the ideal place for ancient emperors to build the capital and establish a business, and it is also a place where Han culture is deeply accumulated, and moving the capital to Luoyang is one of the most important achievements in the life of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. As a politician and reformer of ethnic minorities, this initiative reflects the eloquence of a generation of emperors. Why Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital to Luoyang is still worth exploring today.

First, it is related to the admiration of Han culture. Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong received a good education in Han culture and greatly admired the culture of the Han nation. He was raised by his grandmother, Empress Dowager Feng, a Han Chinese, well-informed, intelligent and decisive who had been in charge of the Northern Wei Dynasty for more than 20 years, and she had promulgated many important reforms with reference to the Han cultural system. Under her influence, Emperor Xiaowen grew up to be a loyal promoter of Han culture.

Emperor Xiaowen said: "The place where this (referring to Pingcheng) is used, it is not possible to rule by culture, change customs, and it is very difficult to believe." ("Wei Shu Rencheng Wang Biography"), this passage clearly shows that in order to learn from the advanced Han culture and change the backward appearance of the nation, it is necessary to move the capital to the political, economic, and cultural center of the Han nationality, and Luoyang is a place where Chinese culture is relatively concentrated. After moving the capital, Emperor Xiaowen implemented a series of sinicization policies, which shows that Emperor Xiaowen's relocation of the capital is related to his admiration for Han culture.

Second, the need to rule the Central Plains. Emperor Xiaowen was a politician who made a difference, and he did not want to be just a "Yidi" king, but also a Chinese king. If you want to be the king of the Chinese, you naturally have to place the national capital in the seat of China's orthodox capital and change its name to justice. Emperor Xiaowen once said: "The country prospered from the north and moved to Pingcheng...... Emperor Cuihan's house, Heluo Wangli, Inzi Daju, Guangzhai Central Plains. This shows that an important reason why Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital to Luoyang was because the location of Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was northern, which was not conducive to the rule of the vast Central Plains. His statements about "the emperor's residence" and "the king's house" indicate that he wanted to move the capital to Luoyang to obtain the orthodox status recognized by the Han landlords. In addition, after Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital to Luoyang, he used troops against the Southern Qi for many years until he died in the military operations of the Southern Expedition, which shows that Emperor Xiaowen also hoped to achieve the goal of unifying the whole country by moving the capital to Luoyang.

Third, we need to solve the problem of food supply. Pingcheng is cold in the north, and grain production is very limited. At that time, someone wrote the poem "Beiping City": "Beiping City, drive the horse into the square, the Yin Mountain is often obscure and snowy, and the barren pine has no wind." Later, as the capital of Pingcheng, the population increased day by day, and the ranks of officials gradually grew, and the problem of food supply became prominent. At that time, there was no water and land transportation in Pingcheng, and the transportation was extremely underdeveloped, so transporting grain from the customs to Pingcheng was not only time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive. Luoyang is located in the center of the north, a plain area, with convenient transportation, and moving the capital to Luoyang solves the most fundamental food problem.

Fourth, the influence of geographical environment. Pingcheng (now northeast of Datong, Shanxi) is located in the north, the terrain is mountainous, the climate is arid, the temperature is low, which is not conducive to the growth of crops, and the natural conditions restrict the further development of the economy of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Luoyang is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River on the west bank, lying in the Central Plains, the mountains and rivers are vertical and horizontal, known as the "warm land of Kyushu", the four seasons are distinct, the climate is pleasant, since ancient times it is the place where the soldiers must fight, and it has naturally become the ideal place for the ancient emperors to build the capital. It was once the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Cao Wei Dynasty and other dynasties. Emperor Xiaowen's move to Luoyang was a wise move and an inevitable result of historical development.

Emperor Xiaowen's move to move the capital to Luoyang not only showed the eloquence of a generation of emperors, but also made Luoyang prosperous and brilliant again after Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty.

Objectively, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, which promoted ethnic integration, facilitated the management of the Central Plains, and also benefited the feudalization process of the Xianbei people. Of course, it also promotes the progress of history.

1. The relocation of the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Luoyang was a far-sighted move to end the split between the North and the South and promote the reunification of the motherland; The capital was moved from Pingcheng to Luoyang, because Luoyang was located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, which was convenient for controlling the situation in the whole country and was more conducive to concentrating military strength on the Southern Dynasties.

Second, the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, which was a clever and wise move to learn advanced culture, self-improvement, and self-transformation; A series of specific sinicization policy measures have completely Han the Xianbei people. Cultural recognition has also elevated the Northern Wei regime to the true king of the world. Therefore, this strategy of starting from promoting and prospering the Central Plains culture, that is, Confucian culture, and then conquering the hearts of the people, is really the best interpretation of "governing the country and leveling the world".

3. The relocation of the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Luoyang is a harmonious move to promote the great integration of nationalities and realize the great unity of the nation; Moving the capital to Luoyang, the land of kings (Xia, Shang, and Zhou all built the capital of Luoyang, so there is a saying that "the residence of the three generations in the past is between Heluo"), and then a series of Han reforms can indeed make other ethnic groups psychologically recognize that they are orthodox kings, so as to enhance mutual trust and create a situation of great national integration and unity.

In history, it is said that Yelu Longxu also has the lord of the ethnic minorities who admire, Xiaowen Emperor Tuoba Hong can indeed be said to be the lord of the country who rules wisely, from the perspective of Yelu Longxu, this wise and decisive person who looks at him as a person, Luoyang is the ancient capital in history, but he would rather move the capital to Beiping than to move the capital to Luoyang, because although this place is important, he is really insignificant to the historical significance, maybe it is still a little important in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but moving the capital to Luoyang does not help him control the whole world at all. Why don't you move the capital? What the hell is going on, let's continue to watch!
