Shaanxi has a long history and culture, and the specific characteristics are as follows:

1. Shaanxi dialect

Influenced by geography, history, politics and migration, there are great differences in pronunciation and words in Shaanxi dialects. From the overall sense of language, Shaanxi dialect is divided into three parts: Guanzhong dialect, northern Shaanxi dialect and southern Shaanxi dialect. The southern part of Qinling Mountain is the southern Shaanxi dialect area except Luonan, Shangzhou and Danfeng, the northern part of Yanchang, Ganquan and Yan 'an is the northern Shaanxi dialect area except Dingbian, and the areas outside the southern Shaanxi and northern Shaanxi dialect areas are the Guanzhong dialect area.

Guanzhong dialect was once the official language of Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties. The unified pattern of the Han Dynasty and the great ethnic integration further promoted the influence of Xi 'an dialect on dialects all over the country and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty.

2. Revolutionary Holy Land

Modern Shaanxi is the holy land of modern China revolution. On October 9th, the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935), the Red Army's Long March arrived in wuqi, northern Shaanxi. Since then, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has fought and lived in northern Shaanxi for 13 years. Yan 'an became the holy land of China's revolution, where China's * * * production party led the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the war of liberation.

3. There are abundant historical relics

Shaanxi is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization and Chinese culture. The "Lantian Ape Man" discovered in 1963 is the earliest and most complete ape-man skull fossil discovered in China. About 31,111 to 41,111 years ago, primitive humans in Guanzhong area gradually entered the clan commune period. The site of banpo village in Xi 'an, discovered in 1953, was a settlement village of matriarchal clan commune six or seven thousand years ago.

Shaanxi used to be the political, economic and cultural center of China for a long time. From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, 14 dynasties established their capitals here, which lasted for more than 1,111 years, leaving a large number of cultural relics. There are extremely rich underground cultural relics in the territory, and the density, quantity and grade of cultural relics are the highest in China.

Qin Epang Palace, Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, Hanyang Mausoleum, Ganling Mausoleum and Qiaoling all recorded and confirmed the ancient culture of Shaanxi. Among them, the pit of Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, which has been developed, shows a huge underground sculpture art treasure house, reflecting the superb artistic level at that time. It is a glorious chapter in the cultural history of China, and is known as the eighth wonder of the world.
