The history of these four cities has condensed the development history of the whole human civilization. The profoundness of different cultures in the East and the West has also attracted the attention of the world. Brilliant Yellow River civilization, Nile civilization, Mesopotamia civilization, Indus civilization and Hebrew culture have created every bright spot of human historical civilization. Here we will show you all aspects of the four ancient capitals.

As far as Xi 'an is concerned, it is called Chang 'an in ancient times, which is the first of many ancient capitals. It is the city with the longest history, the most dynasties and the greatest influence in the history of China. Thirteen dynasties, including the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty, the former Zhao Dynasty, the former Qin Dynasty, the later Qin Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, were established here. Therefore, it bears a large part of the memory of Chinese civilization, and is also the cradle, birthplace and representative of Chinese civilization.

So why is Xi 'an called the head of the ancient capital of China?

The oldest city in China, the capital of Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, is known as the first of the four ancient capitals in China.

China is a country with a long history. In this long time, China is also the only country without cultural fault. So China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. In China, there are four ancient capitals, namely Xi, Luoyang, Beijing and Nanjing. Xi and Luoyang, located in the Central Plains, occupied a very important position in the first half of ancient China. Beijing and Nanjing are very important in the second half of the year.

Among the four ancient capitals, Xi 'an is located at the head of the four ancient capitals and has a very long history. As early as/kloc-0,000,000 years ago, Lantian ancient human beings thrived in Shaanxi, and the embryonic form of the city wall appeared near xi 'an during Yangshao culture 7000 years ago. In addition, Xi 'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain and is known as "Qinchuan in 800 Li". The Guanzhong Plain starts from Baoji in the west and ends in Tongguan in the east. The loess plateau in the north is a gully and the Qinling Mountains in the south. There is Longshan in the west, Tongguan in the east, Plateau in the north and Qinling in the south. Xi 'an is located in the center, surrounded by superior natural terrain barrier protection, which is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Guanzhong plain is mostly alluvial plain, and the Yellow River and Yangtze River pass through it. Since ancient times, it is rich in water resources, fertile land and rich products, and it is the richest place in Shaanxi, so it was first called "the city of gold, the land of plenty".
