1 Use a place to promote Baoding, a profound and vibrant historical city. Two thousand years of wind and rain have carved its towering ancient cypresses. The ink of the emperors of the past has recorded its charm in the past. It welcomes you with its beautiful mountains and rivers, and waits for you to gradually wander around.
The nearest footstep is Baoding, a famous city in central Hebei Province---------History----------Baoding has a long history. It was the hometown of Emperor Yao. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yan,
Zhongshan built its capital within the territory and has a history of more than 3,000 years. The name Baoding means to protect the capital and stabilize the world. The capital is Beijing.
Baoding has been an important place in the capital since ancient times. It was a county in the Yuan Dynasty, a government in the Ming Dynasty, and the Governor-General's Office of Zhili in the Qing Dynasty. Since then, it has been the political, economic, cultural and military center of Hebei.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Baoding was a big city.
It's a pity that it is located on the border of Song and Liao Dynasties, and there are constant wars all year round. It is riddled with holes and weak, and it goes by day by day.
But at the end of the Jin Dynasty, Baoding suddenly disappeared, and a good big city fell into ruins.
Why?
Because in history, every time there was a war, to attack Beijing, Baoding was first attacked; to protect Beijing, Baoding was first cleared.
On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the People's Government of Hebei Province was established in Baoding, with Baoding as the provincial capital and provincial municipality.
In May 1958, the provincial capital was moved to Tianjin.
In May 1966, the provincial capital was moved back to Baoding from Tianjin.
In February 1968, the provincial capital was moved to Shijiazhuang.
In December 1994, Baoding area merged with Baoding City and became a provincial municipality.
Baoding is a national-level historical and cultural city, but Baoding's "Famous City Crown" was hard-won. When the second batch of famous cities were reviewed, Hebei submitted Handan, Xuanhua, and Shanhaiguan. Baoding was later added, and the results went through multiple reviews.
, among the four cities in Hebei, only one city that has been unanimously approved by many experts is Baoding.
Of course, the other three cities also have their own advantages.
But Baoding was rated as a national city earlier because of its "long history, prosperous culture and numerous scenic spots."
-----------Culture-----------Baoding is a typical representative city of Ming and Qing culture. Baoding is the city closest to Beijing. This is not only in terms of geography.
It’s not about proximity, but about culture!
I’ve known that Beijingers eat fried noodles since I was a kid, but I wasn’t curious about it. I thought it was like this all over China because we also grew up eating fried noodles!
Later, when I grew up, the TV began to promote Beijing's courtyard houses and Hutong culture. I was puzzled. Baoding is also like this. What's so good about this? Isn't it like this all over China?
Later, I learned that Beijingers play with antiques and listen to Peking opera, which is refreshing for foreigners and outsiders. But there are also many people playing with antiques in Baoding. The uncles and aunts who sing in the park are definitely first-class fans!
People who play crickets in Baoding are willing to spend hundreds or even thousands of yuan to buy a gourd (with flowers on it). It seems to be no worse than in Beijing!
There is also a vigorous diabolo activity. In addition to people playing in cultural old cities like Baoding, there are few people in emerging cities who know what diabolo is. When I went to Beijing, my friends in Beijing enthusiastically recommended to me eight pieces of pea yellow snacks from old Beijing.
As he waited for me, I told him that we had everything except bean juice in Baoding. He introduced me enthusiastically to the courtyard houses in Beijing, and I told him that I also grew up in a hutong. I also jokingly told him that I also received a traditional hutong education.
When I was growing up, I insisted on never leaving the front door. What a breakthrough it was to arrive in Beijing today. Then I finally realized that in this world, the people and cultures are not the same as those in Baoding, but the one closest to Baoding.
The city is Beijing, but Beijing is the capital of grandeur. Baoding is definitely not as big as Beijing, but the city atmosphere is very similar. Of course, after so many years, Beijing is the capital, Baoding is not the capital of Zhili Province, and a large number of outsiders have poured into Beijing. Today’s Beijing
There are differences from old Beijing. Today’s Beijing is even more different from Baoding.
-----------Current situation-----------In 2004, the National Bureau of Statistics ranked Baoding 51st among the 256 prefecture-level cities in China in terms of comprehensive urban strength. Baoding's GDP also ranked 51st.
It exceeds 100 billion, ranking third in the province.
