There is a city in Shanxi Province called "the land of the Empress". Why do ancient monarchs like women in this city?

There is a city in Shanxi called "the hometown of queens", which is Datong. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, there have been 25 queens and 9 concubines. Although this figure is not much in history, it is extremely special in a small place like Shanxi. Compared with other cities in Shanxi, Datong is called "the hometown of queens". Why didn't the emperor choose women from other regions? Why did ancient monarchs like women in this field?

Datong has a long history. It was a famous county in the Qin and Han Dynasties and the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. At the same time, emperors of Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties lived here. Datong has been an economically developed place since ancient times. The economic base determines the superstructure. Girls who live here can not only receive a good education, but also buy all kinds of expensive fabrics and jewelry. Some scholars even say that Datong's economy is prosperous and it doesn't lose to Jiangnan at all. Women who grew up in Datong are naturally better than those in some poor and backward areas.

The geographical conditions of Datong are particularly special. It faces Xinjiang on three sides and is in a key position. Many ethnic minorities live here, and more and more foreigners settle here. Due to a large number of immigrants, Datong culture is also a fusion of many cultures.

The integration of nomadic culture and farming culture here makes the women who grew up here have both the pride of grassland women and the gentleness of women in Jiangnan water towns. How can such a woman not be liked by gentlemen? Of all the beautiful women in the harem, only Datong women are changeable and unique. Such a unique Datong woman is naturally sought after by the monarch.
