What are the oldest cities in China? What kind of historical charm it has

Many people may have never heard the name Xiayi County, and some people may not even know that this small city is in**. Today I will tell you that Xiayi County is one of the birthplaces of Chinese Longshan culture, and it is an area with an extremely long history. For 5,000 years in China, Xiayi County was already famous in the Xia and Shang dynasties and was one of the main capitals of the Xia Dynasty.

The current name is the end of the Jin Dynasty, changed to the meaning of "Huaxia Yi", so it is called Xiayi, and it has been passed down to this day.

Xiayi County is located in the south-east direction of Shangqiu City, and is the ancestral hometown of Confucius, a famous Chinese saint. Seven kilometers north of Xiayi County, the Confucius Ancestral Hall is one of the local attractions. During the Song Dynasty, Kong Liangfu, a descendant of Confucius, settled here from Qufu, his birthplace, and carried out another round of expansion of the ancestral hall.

Since this place is the ancestral home of Confucius, its scale is also wider than that of Confucian temples in other regions. The ancestral hall sits in the north and faces south, there are two halls in the north and south, there are many wings in the east and west and a group of stele forests. The tile roof is paved with glazed tiles, which inevitably gives people a sense of solemnity.

The General Peng Xuefeng Memorial Hall is located 17 kilometers northeast of the county seat. There are a lot of pine and cypress trees planted in the museum, and when you walk through the door, you will be greeted by an eye-catching lying monument. It is engraved with "General Peng Xuefeng's heroic martyrdom".

The dark side of the stele is engraved with the life deeds of General Peng. The bust is located in the center of the museum. At the same time, various pictures symbolizing General Peng's life are displayed on the wall of the museum for people who come to pay their respects to watch carefully and feel the duty of the soldiers on the battlefield during the war.

The stone pagoda of Daishonji Temple is also a scenic spot. In Zhangzhuang Village, Liji Town, in 2001, villagers found this stone pagoda when they were digging soil in the ground east of the village. The stone tower is 2.4 meters high, and it is carved and chiseled from the bluestone of Ji Benyou, and sits on a stone slab with a little clear shape.

The body of the tower is drum-shaped and carved with various floral patterns, and it is rare to see a single-story stone tower as a single layer. Now it has been classified as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit.

<> Bronze Temple is located in Bronze Temple Village, Qihe Township, Xiayi County. It was originally built in the Tang Dynasty and has been repaired many times. Nowadays, the incense of this temple is also gradually entering its peak.

There are four stone tablets standing in front of the hall, there are eighteen Arhat statues and many Buddha statues inside, and various interesting Buddhist scripture stories are painted on the walls. The trees behind the hall are lush and green, and there is an elementary school in the east, and the sound of reading from time to time seems to be able to bring people back to those dynasties in the past, and they unconsciously fall into the mixed current of time and space.

After seeing these famous scenes, we can go to rest and rest. There is a park in Xiayi County that also has a long history, and Tianlong Lake Park had a name early in the Warring States Period. Since then, it has gone through more than 10 times of filling and excavation, and now it has an area of more than 2,000 acres.

Tourists stop by the pavilion from time to time to chat with the locals about life, or sit on wooden chairs on the side of the road and close their eyes.

In this way, this is really a city with a long history, isn't it?

Suzhou, with a history of many years, has produced many historical celebrities, Fan Zhongyan and so on. Suzhou, also known as Gusu, has a profound cultural heritage.

There are many ancient cities in China, and the more famous ones are Xi'an, Luoyang, etc.

Xi'an used to be called Xianyang and Chang'an, which was the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, and has a very strong historical charm here. Luoyang is also the most frequently used capital in ancient times, and Chang'an, in the same way, has a very good history and culture.

6.Linzi; It was the capital of Qi during the Warring States Period, and it was the largest, most populous and most prosperous city in China at that time.

It was once one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the world.

At present, Linzi is only a district of Zibo City, and the development of Zibo City in Shandong is not in the forefront.

5.Yangzhou; The history of the city can be traced back to 486 B.C., Yangzhou has a long history, brilliant culture, prosperous commerce, outstanding people, pleasant environment and beautiful scenery.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, "rich in the world" can be said to be synonymous with Yangzhou.

However, now Yangzhou, the scale of the city can not be called a big city.

4.Kaifeng; Bianjing, the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties.

It was once the largest city in the world in terms of GDP.

What was once a cosmopolitan city.

Kaifeng has a history of more than 2,700 years, in 361 B.C., the Warring States Period of King Wei Hui moved the capital to Daliang, which is the first time that Kaifeng has a clear historical record of the capital.

It is a pity that such a glorious city is not even the capital now, and the economy is still very backward.

3.Luoyang; One of the six ancient capitals.

Luoyang has a history of more than 5,000 years of civilization, 4,000 years of city history and more than 1,500 years of capital history, and 105 emperors have set up Kyushu here.

It is the birthplace of Chinese civilization.

1. One of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation.

However, now it is similar to Kaifeng, and the situation is very embarrassing.

2.Handan; 8,000 years ago, the Cishan culture of the early Neolithic period was born.

The capital of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons of the Jin Kingdom, and the capital of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

At the same time, it is known as the "capital of Chinese idioms and allusions", and hundreds of well-known idioms come from here.

However, now it can only be mixed with a small prefecture-level city 1Xianyang; It is an important birthplace of Qin and Han culture.

Qin Shi Huang made Xianyang the capital, making it the "first imperial capital of China".

Xianyang is also the first stop on the ancient Silk Road, the key point of the Central Plains of China to the northwest.

With such a glorious history, it can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized city now.

Therefore, the glory of the past is not as good as the development of the future.
