An emperor established his capital in Luoyang.
In order to stay away from some war-torn places, ancient emperors often chose a safer and more secure place. Since our country has a vast territory, emperors in different dynasties and periods have different views on stability. It can be said that The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. After all, the emperor has the greatest power. He can go wherever he wants. It can be seen that great power means willfulness.
But there is one place in our country that has always been the first choice for emperors to make their capitals, and that is Luoyang. If we want to say that our country has the most dynasties that have made their capitals, then Luoyang is definitely the number one. In fact, why is Luoyang the most emperors’ capital? The main reason is that Luoyang is located in the center of my country and is far away from the border areas, because wars often occur in border areas and the situation is relatively complicated.
Furthermore, Luoyang’s geographical location is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to attack, you must first pass through the surrounding cities. However, the emperors of the surrounding cities often guard heavy troops and carry out layer-by-layer defense. Therefore, Luoyang has always been a city in the past dynasties. It was the first choice location for emperors to establish their capitals, so it became one of the famous ancient capitals in my country.
