The south has the grace of Bashu, and the north has the advantage of being in a tiger's position, so as to guard against its three-sided defense and rule the vassals from the east alone. The princes are stable, the rivers and rivers embrace the world, and the west gives the capital; The vassal has changed, and going down the river is enough to defeat. This so-called Jincheng is a thousand miles away, and the country of abundance is also. "
Xi 'an has a long history, with more than 7000 years of civilization, 3 100 years of city building and 165438 years of capital building. It is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation and the starting point of the Silk Road.
Xi 'an was called Chang 'an in ancient times, and the Western Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty, the former Zhao Dynasty, the former Qin Dynasty, the later Qin Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty all established their capitals in Xi 'an. The rulers of past dynasties chose to settle in Xi 'an, which was naturally inseparable from Xi 'an's top feng shui pattern.
