Historical details of Jinyang ancient city ruins park

The history of China has entered the Spring and Autumn Period, and new political changes are bound to take place in Shanxi, which is full of Chinese civilization. Therefore, in the mind of Zhao Yang, an outstanding politician, it is a logical strategic decision to choose a land of geomantic omen and build a strong city to plot the world. It must be a sunny day when Zhao Yang decided to build Jinyang city site. When he stood under the canopy of his chariot, facing the rolling Tianlong Mountain and Longshan Mountain Range, and facing the rushing Fenshui, he identified the unique strategic position here with the vision of a strategist. Dong Anyu, a courtier of the Zhao family, immediately ordered by his master to set up a base area for his master to compete for the world in this place near mountains and waters. Dong Anyu really deserves to be Zhao Yang's resourceful retainer. He mobilized craftsmen and laborers. First, he used the traditional rammed earth board construction method to tamp the excavated loess layer by layer, build a solid city wall with a height of four feet and a circumference of four miles, practice copper columns, erect the colonnade of the palace, and then use fine wood as the wooden frame keel of the palace wall, and smear mud on the outside. At that time, it was undoubtedly the most innovative and advanced building technology. In 497 BC, Dong Anyu finally completed the most important career in his life. Under his command, a new city stands on the Fenshui River under Tianlong Mountain and Longshan Mountain. After the completion of this Jinyang City, Zhao Yang appointed another counselor, Yoon Tak, as the "general of Jinyang", the first local official in charge of this city. In order to keep the government clean, Yoon Tak first reduced taxes for the people, and then built warehouses in the city to preserve grain and grass, making Jinyang City the political, economic and cultural center of Zhaoyang Group and the base of military struggle.

At that time, the wheels of the Zhou Dynasty had been rolling on the land of China for hundreds of years, and there was a declining trend. The state of Jin has the glory of Jin Wengong dominating the world, and it also has its heyday of dominating the world. However, in the later period of the Jin Dynasty, especially after the Jin Dynasty set up six nobles to implement decentralized governance, the leaders of the six nobles were bound to take more advanced actions than the slave society and accelerate political reform. They are more concerned about how to annex land, expand their political power through this merger, and finally replace the state of Jin. Thus, just as the Zhou Emperor at that time could not give orders to the vassal states everywhere, the State of Jin could not control the six powerful ministers, namely Zhi, Zhao, Wei, Han, Fan and Bank of China. The political outcome of the dispute between the six ministries in Qing Dynasty was to destroy Fan and BOC first, and then Zhi, Zhao, Han and Wei San. The official position of the State of Jin existed in name only, and Zhao, Han and Wei began to carve up the State of Jin. On the land of China, the pattern of seven heroes in the Warring States period began to take shape.

During the period of 1988, many experts from provincial and municipal departments of cultural relics and archaeology successfully excavated the tomb of Zhao Yang, the head of state of Jin, at the expansion site of the thermal power plant 5 kilometers northwest of Jinyang city. The magnificent and striking chariots and horses pits and thousands of buried treasures have proved the glorious history of Jinyang City with underground objects. Historians agree that the division of the three schools into the Jin Dynasty is a signpost to determine the disintegration of slavery society and the beginning of feudal society in China history. The establishment of this road sign was completed in Jinyang City and outside the city. History follows this road sign, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period.

Some historians have summarized another function of Jinyang City in the historical process of China: Jinyang came first, then Han and Tang Dynasties. It is the profound cultural cornerstone of Jinyang City that holds up the prosperity of Han and Tang Dynasties. After Liu Bang, who won the world, established the Han Dynasty, he immediately gave birth to a son with his maid-in-waiting. Liu Heng's prudence and gentleness in Wang Zizhong left a good impression on the ministers. Recommended by Xiao He and other ministers, he was named acting king by Liu Bang at the age of 7. The political and economic center of Dai Jun is Jinyang City. After leaving the palace, Liu Heng and his son were deeply influenced by Jinyang culture. Humans create their own culture, and advanced culture will bring up outstanding human talents. After Liu Bang's death, he and two veteran ministers unanimously decided to welcome Wang back to Chang 'an and recover Liu Bang's world. After Liu Heng acceded to the throne, he was called Wendi in history. Living in Jinyang since childhood, and knowing well the sufferings of the people, Emperor Wen of Han despised Yao and paid little attention to Fu, abolished torture, let the people recuperate and became a generation of emperors who educated the people with morality. After Wendi's death, his son Liu Qi succeeded to the throne, which was called Jingdi in history. Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty continued to pursue his father's general plan of governing the country, which made the Han Dynasty rich and strong, and laid a solid material foundation for Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, the son of Emperor Jing, to expand his territory, attack the Huns seven times, completely sweep away the northern frontier and dominate the national forest in the world.

At the end of Sui Dynasty, when Li Yuan, the envoy who stayed in Taiyuan and appeased Hedong, was guarding Jinyang, he conspired with his son Li Shimin to overthrow the Sui Dynasty. As an important official of Yang Di government, Li Yuan eventually became a grave digger in the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Empire. Jinyang ancient city has also become the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty. After Li Shimin established Zhenguan Shi Sheng, he ordered the expansion of Jinyang City to play its important strategic role. After the expansion, Jinyang City expanded into Dongcheng and Xicheng, and the two cities are connected with Zhongcheng by Fenhe River, which is rare in China. Its political status is almost equal to Chang 'an, Kyoto and Luoyang, the eastern capital, and it is called the northern capital of the Tang Dynasty in history.

Because of these two prosperous dynasties, Han and Tang scripts became the unique scripts in China. These two words condensed many advanced cultural elements in the process of feudal society in China, and the earliest place to condense them was Jinyang Ancient City. Unfortunately, after 1476 years of ups and downs, this city was turned into a virtual market by Zhao Guangyi, Song Taizong, and buried underground in 979 AD, four years after the Northern Song Dynasty was peaceful and rejuvenating the country. Zhao Guangyi can order the destruction of this tangible city with ruthless fire and water, but it cannot destroy the intangible culture. Jinyang ancient city, as the source of Jinyang culture, still stretches after its disappearance. In the process of Chinese civilization, its imprint can be found at any time.

Jinyang ancient city was built and completely destroyed, the former was more than 2500 years ago, and the latter was 1000 years ago. However, the cornerstone of this ancient city sleeping underground is still there, and its context is always preserved. Therefore, when we stroll through the ruins of Jinyang ancient city, although we can't cross the buried palaces and streets, the memory of history will still make every tourist have endless reverie. And in the future, who can predict how many unexpected miracles will appear?
