Where is the ancient city of Han and Wei Dynasties?

The ancient city of Han and Wei Dynasties is one of the scenic spots in Luoyang. The detailed address of this scenic spot is next to National Highway 3 10 in yanshi city, Luoyang. "If you ask about the prosperity of ancient and modern times, please only look at Luoyang City." Luoyang City, written by Sima Guang, a litterateur in the Song Dynasty, is now an ancient city in the Han and Wei Dynasties. The ancient city is located about15km east of Luoyang, also known as the ruins of Luoyang in the Han and Wei Dynasties. In 25 AD, Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, established his capital here. Later, more than 40 emperors of six dynasties, including Cao Wei, Western Jin and Northern Wei, made it their capital. Because it was mainly in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was called "Luoyang Ancient City in Han Wei". At present, the old city is the most complete and largest capital site in China.

The ancient city of Han and Wei Dynasties is the eastern starting point of the famous Silk Road. In A.D. 166, the king of the Roman Empire sent envoys to Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to meet the Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, marking the beginning of direct communication between the easternmost and westernmost ends of the Silk Road. Now the ancient city of Han and Wei seen by tourists is in ruins. But if you are a history lover, some existing relics will not let you down.

In the existing ruins, visitors can see the remaining city walls in the east, west and north sections, each side is about 3000-4000 meters long, and the inner city wall in the south has been submerged by the Luohe River. You can observe the ruins of the city wall carefully here. These city walls are all made of rammed earth slabs. The remaining city walls are generally 1-2 meters higher than the ground, and the north city wall is 5-7 meters higher than the city wall.

You can see the ruins of Imperial College in the Eastern Han Dynasty in the southern suburbs of the inner city. Eastern Han Imperial College was founded in the fifth year of Jianwu (AD 29), with as many as 30,000 students. Taixue site is divided into two parts: east and west. There is a large area of rammed earth building site inside the site, and rows of building foundations can also be seen. Imperial College is the highest institution for imparting Confucianism in ancient times.

Also in the southern suburbs of the inner city, you can see the Lingtai site of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Lingtai was built in the first year of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 56) and was the largest national observatory at that time. It was used successively in Cao Wei and Western Jin Dynasties. Now, in the center of Lingtai site, you can also see a square rammed earth platform, which is about 3 1 m long from east to west and 4 1 m long from north to south, and is about 8 meters high. Zhang Heng (AD 78- 139), an outstanding scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, studied astronomical phenomena here for many years.

In addition, visitors can also see the ruins of Jinyongcheng, which was built in the northwest corner of the inner city of Cao (AD 204-239). There are many rammed platforms, brick foundations and pools in the site. In 2006, the main entrance of Miyagi, the ancient city of Han and Wei Dynasties, was restored. Visitors can enjoy the glory and prosperity here through the restored and displayed gate abutment and sparrow terrace.
