Xi 'an is the ancient capital of six dynasties, and Luoyang is the ancient capital of nine dynasties. Luoyang has richer cultural background and richer historical forms than Xi 'an. It has both a unified dynasty and a period of division and turmoil, but its ideology and culture are extremely brilliant. Let Luoyang's history be more diverse and thicker. So the first ancient capital refers to Luoyang instead of Xi 'an.

Luoyang is the eastern starting point of the Silk Road and the center of the Grand Canal. In the era of cold weapons, it is the traffic artery between north and south, relying on the vast hinterland of the Central Plains, and its economy is prosperous. It has always been a national granary, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has maintained national stability. The geographical location is excellent, and there has always been a saying that "mountains and rivers support the situation first in the world" and "eight customs support the last in the world". It can also be concluded that the first ancient capital was Luoyang.
