Yang Di was the second and last emperor of the Sui Dynasty. After the Northern and Southern Dynasties War, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty established a unified multi-ethnic country in 58 1, and in 605, his son Yang Di succeeded him as emperor. At the beginning of inheriting hegemony, Luoyang City, the capital of East China, was declared. There is a reason for this:
He inherited his father's wishes.
According to historical records, he wrote in his imperial edict: "Since the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he wanted to use Heluo as a place to start a business. The first emperor thought about this for a long time, and when he said this, he was too excited to cry! I must first complete the wisdom of the first emperor! " It can be seen that Emperor Wendi's last wish to move the capital to Luoyang accounted for part of the reason.
Geographically, Chang 'an is in the northwest and Luoyang is in the middle of China, which is convenient for transporting grain and grass and managing state affairs.
Northwest China has more dealings with barbarians, and is located in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, far from the east and southeast. However, the Sui Dynasty has just been established, and if Luoyang is the capital, it is obviously easier to carry out local jurisdiction. In addition, when each dynasty chose Chengdu, it generally considered the transportation of grain and grass, and Luoyang was obviously easier to supply local resources.
In addition, Luoyang is also an ancient capital with a long history, which is more conducive to cultural inheritance.
Luoyang has been an ancient capital since the Xia Dynasty. Moreover, in the history of our country, there are the most countries with this city as their capital, and its rich cultural heritage is more conducive to the succession of emperors from generation to generation.
