Who can introduce Xi 'an in detail?

Xi 'an, translated as "Xi" in English, was translated as "Xi 'an" and "Xi 'an" in the old society.

Xi is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world (Xi, Cairo, Rome and Athens).

Xi 'an, known as Chang 'an and Jingzhao in ancient times, is known as "the land of thousands of miles of gold and abundance" in history. It is the center of Chinese civilization and East Asian civilization and enjoys the reputation of "the cradle of the Chinese nation". It is not only the birthplace of the Chinese nation, but also one of the important human origins and prehistoric cultural centers in Asia. Founded by Zhou Wenwang, it was built in12nd century BC and has an uninterrupted urban development history of 3 100 years. There were 2/kloc-0 dynasties and political powers, including Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang, which established their capitals here. It was the ancient capital of 13 dynasty (17 dynasty) and the political and economic capital of China. 198 1 year, UNESCO identified Xi' an as a "world historic city".

Xi 'an, also known as Xijing, Xi Du, Fengcheng and Doucheng, is called "pickaxe" for short. From ancient times to modern times, they used the names Tanjing, Haojing, Tang Ao, Xianyang, Chang 'an, Chang 'an, Jingzhao, Daxing, Yongxing, Fengyuan and Xijing, among which "Chang 'an" is the most common and famous.

Xi 'an, with 2/kloc-0 dynasties and political power as its capital, is the capital with the most dynasties, the longest capital and the greatest influence in the history of China. (yanliang district in Xi 'an is also the famous ancient capital of China-Liyang) Among these dynasties, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, which used Chang 'an as their capital, were the most prosperous periods in China's history, when Chang 'an was an international metropolis. Chang 'an was the largest city in the world from BC 195 to AD 25, and from AD 637 to AD 904. At the peak of its development, Chang 'an has a population of over one million, making it the first city in human history to reach one million. Weiyang Palace in Chang 'an in Han Dynasty and Daming Palace in Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty were the most influential and magnificent palaces in the world at that time, and Daming Palace in Tang Dynasty was also the largest and most magnificent palace in ancient China, with an area of 4.5 times that of the Forbidden City in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Later, other metropolises in the world did not reach or surpass the height that Chang 'an once reached, and this fact remained until the15th century (the position of the first urban area remained until modern times). Chang 'an has always been the center of the world in its heyday, attracting a large number of foreign envoys and worshippers.

Today, Xi is the capital of Shaanxi Province in People's Republic of China (PRC), one of the sub-provincial cities of China 15, one of the seven regional central cities of China, the industrial and commercial and financial center of northwest China, the largest central city in the Yellow River basin, and the China section of the new Eurasian continental bridge. Xi is also the largest and most important base for scientific research, higher education, national defense science and technology industry and high-tech industry in central and western China, an important machinery manufacturing center and textile industry center in China, a weapon manufacturing base for electronic information industry, and a core base for aviation industry and aerospace industry. It is one of the largest central cities with the strongest scientific and technological strength and the most complete industrial categories in the central and western regions of China. It is a dynamic inland new special zone, a financial center and transportation center in central and western China and northern inland areas, a national special zone for coordinating scientific and technological resources, eight national logistics bases and a comprehensive bonded zone, and the core of Guanzhong-Tianshui Economic Zone.

dialect

Chang'an Painting School

Chang 'an Painting School in China's traditional Chinese painting originated from Guanzhong Shadow Play before the Han Dynasty, Shaanxi Puppet Show in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and colorful peasant paintings in Huxian County, all of which are indispensable and important components of an 'an culture.

1, the origin of an Xi 'an.

Xi 'an was called "Gao Feng" in the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Feng Hao" is the collective name of Feng Jing and Hao Jing built in Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang respectively. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang made Guanzhong his capital, named after Chang 'an Township, which means "long-term stability".

After the opening of the Silk Road, Chang 'an became the center of oriental civilization. History says that "there is Rome in the west and Chang 'an in the east". Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty and Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty were named "Daxing Gong" by Zhou Dynasty, so the new capital was named "Daxing City", and Chang 'an was also called "Daxing City" in Sui Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the name of Chang 'an was restored. It was renamed "Fengyuan City" in Yuan Dynasty.

In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369), the Ming government changed Fengyuan Road to Xi 'an Mansion, meaning "settle the northwest". Xi' an's name comes from this.

Xi, Athens, Rome and Cairo are also called the four ancient capitals in the world. From 1 1 century BC to modern times, 17 dynasties or regimes established their capitals and regimes in Xi 'an, which lasted for more than 1 100 years.

From about 1 1 century BC to the end of 9th century AD, Ann was the political, economic and cultural center of ancient China for a long time, and was always under the jurisdiction of local administrative organs-Zhou, County, Fu, Lu, Province and Chang 'an and Xianning counties. In most dynasties, Xi 'an was subordinate to Jingzhao Prefecture (county), which was a county-level organizational system. In the Yuan Dynasty, Jingzhao was changed to Anxi Road (later changed to Fengyuan Road). In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1369), Fengyuan Road was abandoned and xi Anfu was established, hence the name An. 1928 was first established as a city in Xi, and 1948 was changed from a provincial city to a city under the jurisdiction of the Executive Yuan of the National Government.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Xi 'an was once a city under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, a city under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Administrative Region, a municipality directly under the Central Government and a city under separate state planning. Since 1954, Xi 'an has been the capital of Shaanxi Province, and now it is a sub-provincial city, with jurisdiction over nine districts and four counties.

198 1 year, UNESCO recognized Xi as a world famous historical city.

2. The dynasty with Xi 'an as its capital.

In the history of China, 20 regimes once established their capitals in Xi 'an. But which of them should be called dynasty and whose capital should be regarded as Xi 'an is a controversial issue. This is the difference in people's understanding of the concepts of "Korea", "capital" and "capital", which led to the disagreement about which dynasty's capital was in a certain place. At present, the official statement is 13 dynasty. There are four different opinions: 10, 1 1, 12, 14, 17. Among them, there are two versions of 14 dynasty and 17 dynasty.

10 Super Master

10 dynasty-in chronological order: western Zhou dynasty (363 BC), Qin dynasty (15 BC), western Han dynasty (202 BC), Zhao Qian (1 1 year BC), former Qin dynasty (33 BC) and later Qin dynasty.

13 Super Master

3. The relationship between Chang 'an and Xianyang in history.

Historically, Xi and Xianyang are the same city today. This can be seen from the relationship between ancient Chang 'an and Xianyang. Xi and Xianyang are the two nearest cities in China, which are 25 kilometers apart. At the same time, Xi 'an's expressway around the city was built in Xianyang, and the airport was moved from Taoyuan in Xi 'an to Xianyang. In September, 2006, Xianyang area code was merged into Xi 'an, and 029 area code was used with Xi 'an. The integration of Xi and Xi 'an is under way.

Qin dynasty

The capital is Xianyang. Most of Epang Palace is in Xi 'an today, and the Terracotta Warriors and Mausoleums are in Xi 'an today (located in Lintong District, Xi 'an). The ancestral temple of Qin was on the south bank of Weihe River, and Jing Ke stabbed the king of Qin, which happened in Qinzhangtai Palace (later the front hall of Han Weiyang Palace). Lin Xiangru, Lian Po and the king of Qin sat on the stage. The layout of palaces in Qin dynasty has not yet formed the layout of Miyagi, Imperial City and Three Great Halls. Xianyang City, Qin Dynasty spans the Weihe River north and south.

Han (HA)

The capital is Chang 'an. Chang 'an in Han Dynasty was founded on the site of Xianyang in Qin Dynasty. According to historical records, "Chang 'an in Han Dynasty is also the site of Xianyang in Qin Dynasty", Zhang Heng's Xijing Fu says that Chang 'an in the Western Han Dynasty "crossed the Zhou Dynasty to explore the Qin system", and Huang Tu's Preface to Three Fu also says: "Wu Zhao governs Xianyang and takes Han as its capital". "Old Tang Book Geography" said: "The capital is Xianyang, Qin and Chang 'an, Han. "After King Qin Huiwen, Xianyang continued to expand to the south, and built buildings such as Zhangtai, Xingle Palace, Ganquan Palace, Xin Palace, Epang Palace and Seven Temples in the south of Weihe River. After Liu Bang won the world, under the persuasion of Lou Jing and Sean, he built Chang 'an as his capital. Restoration of Xingle Palace in Qin Dynasty was changed to Changle Palace, and Weiyang Palace was built on the basis of Qin Zhangtai. That is to say, Chang 'an City in Han Dynasty was established on the basis of Xianyang, Qin Dou, indicating that the location of the capital was determined by Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty. The Ques Palace in the Han Dynasty is located in Xi 'an Hancheng Reserve, north of the North Second Ring Road, and the mausoleum of Emperor Jingdi of the Han Dynasty is located in Xianyang.

College teachers

The capital is Chang 'an. Miyagi coincides with Xi 'an today, and the palace coincides with Xi 'an Ming City Wall today. Most tombs of Tang emperors, such as Zhaoling and Ganling, are located in Xianyang city today. The eighteen tombs in the Tang Dynasty were all in the county under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, and Ganling was Fengtian County of Jingzhao Prefecture.

People's Republic of China (PRC)

Xi 'an and Xianyang are the same city in 1966- 197 1, and are divided into two cities in 197 1. Xi 'an is the sub-provincial level and Xianyang is the prefecture level.

4.Xi 'an incident

19361February 12, China Kuomintang generals Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a protest in Xi 'an, forcing President Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China to resist Japan. It is called the Xi event, also known as the Double Twelve event.

From 1936 to 12, the Xi Incident led by patriotic generals Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng of the Kuomintang and its peaceful settlement were important events in the history of China. On the basis of cooperation between the two parties, it played an important role in promoting the anti-Japanese national United front.

5. Xi since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC).

1949 On May 20th, Xi 'an was liberated. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Xi 'an was once the seat of the Central Northwest Bureau and the Northwest Administrative Committee (the Central Northwest Bureau and the Northwest Administrative Committee were abolished), and the municipality directly under the central government: 1954 was changed to a provincial municipality. Now it is a sub-provincial city. After more than 50 years of construction and development, Xi has formed a relatively complete urban service system with industrial system, and has become an important scientific research, higher education, national defense science and technology industry and high-tech industrial base in China, as well as a financial, scientific, technological, educational, tourism and business center radiating to the central and western regions in the north.

According to the Book of Song Dynasty, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Mao Xiu presented Song Wudi with delicious beef and sheep soup, which was made official by Emperor Wu and later promoted to Dr. Guanglu, a senior minister. There is also a funny legend that Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was trapped in Chang 'an before he proclaimed himself emperor and lived a life of starvation all day. One day, he came to a shop where beef and mutton were being cooked. The shopkeeper felt sorry for him, so he let him break up his dry steamed buns, then poured him a spoonful of hot soup and cooked it thoroughly on the fire. Zhao Kuangyin wolfed down his food and thought it was the best food in the world. Later, Zhao Kuangyin put on a yellow robe and became an emperor.

Hui people in Xi 'an want to excel in the catering industry where Han people gather, so they can only work hard on seasonings, so they abandon the sour taste and use the salty taste more suitable for northwest people to set off the fragrance of mutton soup and beef soup. Rinsing beef and mutton is a traditional project of Hui nationality, and the richness of seasoning and the mastery of cooking are self-evident. Reduce the amount of heavy pepper to highlight the taste of meat and vegetables. It is more delicious and practical to use the atmospheric beef balls (minced beef and noodles, boiled) commonly used by Muslims.
