"If you ask about the rise and fall of ancient and modern times, please only look at Luoyang City." The Luoyang City described by Sima Guang, a writer in the Song Dynasty, is the ancient city of the Han and Wei Dynasties today. City ruins. In 25 AD, Emperor Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, made his capital here. After that, more than 40 emperors from 6 dynasties including Cao Wei, Western Jin and Northern Wei during the Three Kingdoms period used this as their capital, because the two main ones were the Eastern Han and Northern Wei. Therefore, it is called "the ancient city of Luoyang in the Han and Wei Dynasties". The Gucheng is the most well-preserved and large-scale capital site in China. The ancient city of the Han and Wei Dynasties was the eastern starting point of the "Silk Road". In 166 AD, the king of the Roman Empire sent an envoy to Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to meet Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, marking the beginning of direct communication between the eastern and western ends of the Silk Road. Today, the ancient city of the Han and Wei Dynasties that tourists see is already a piece of ruins. But if you're a history buff, some of the surviving ruins won't disappoint. Among the existing ruins, visitors can see three remaining sections of the city wall on the east, west and north sides, each side is about 3000-4000 meters long, and the inner city wall on the south has been flooded by the Luo River. Here you can take a close look at the ruins of the city walls. These city walls are made of rammed earth panels. The remaining city walls are generally 1-2 meters above the ground, and the north wall is 5-7 meters higher than the city wall. In the southern suburbs of the inner city, you can see the ruins of the "Tai Xue" in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Tai Xue in the Eastern Han Dynasty was built in the fifth year of Emperor Guangwu's reign in the Eastern Han Dynasty (29 AD), and there were more than 30,000 Tai Xue students in the school. people. The Taixue site is divided into two parts: east and west. There are large-scale rammed earth building sites inside the site, and rows of building foundations can also be seen. Taixue is an ancient school that taught Confucianism. Also in the southern suburbs of the inner city, you can also see the ruins of "Lingtai" in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Lingtai was founded in the first year of the Zhongyuan reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 56) and was the national astronomical observatory at that time. It was used successively in the Cao Wei and Western Jin Dynasties. You can also see a square rammed earth platform, about 31 meters from east to west, 41 meters from north to south, and about 8 meters high. Zhang Heng (78-139 AD), an outstanding scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once studied astronomical phenomena here for many years. In addition, among the ruins of the Han and Wei ancient cities, tourists can also see the Jinyong City ruins in the northwest corner of the inner city, which were built in the Ming Dynasty of Cao Wei (AD 204-239). pool etc. In 2006, the main gate of the palace city of the Han and Wei Dynasties, Changhe Gate, was repaired. Visitors can experience the glory and prosperity of this place through the restoration of the original site, such as the gate base and the tower.
After coming out of the Baima Temple, I found that there is a treasure ancient site not far away, so I didn’t hesitate to find it. It’s more difficult to find the site and the site park of the ancient city of Hanwei and Hanwei. There are many large sites in the site park, but the navigation is not possible. Fortunately, the way is relatively clear. Walk along the direction of the sign and enter a well-built township road in a few minutes to the ruins park. The security guard is very good for you to park the car. There is no one in the entire ruins park. Our family of three, Luoyang after more than four o'clock in the afternoon is not so hot. Just take the children to the vast field archaeology! The introduction inside is very detailed, completely restores the Luoyang Palace City of Han and Wei, making you seem to be back more than a thousand years ago! Come to Luoyang Ancient Capital to see more real sites ~, so this treasure ancient site is great value
At present, the weather is right, neither cold nor hot, a person walking in the vast silent wilderness, thinking about Cao Wei to Jin here is the prosperous place of the world, so many historical events here, how many open fights occurred at the foot of their feet, iron horse Jinge, sorrow and joy. To be able to touch the traces of history is a valuable experience.
A holy place for history buffs, watching the ruins come to mind for centuries of prosperity and decay. The museum is already under construction, hoping that the land and the stories that belong to it will return to the public's perspective.
History is absolutely for enthusiasts. After visiting Baima Temple, you can take No. 87 bus (half an hour, please wait patiently) across the road to Jincun intersection. (How many good bronzes come from Jincun, it's exciting to look at their names.) Now they're surrounded by wire mesh, so let's climb in and see if you have the courage to think of it. Built in the third century AD, the old capital of the Han and Wei Dynasties, there are walls, dikes, drainage ditches, imperial towers, and stone foundations of palace pillars. It's exciting to step on this land, the old city 1800 years ago. To the north, there is a construction workshop. It is said that there are bad dogs. They dare not go to see it. Yan He Mennan was cut off by national highway and railway line (Yongning Temple written in the passage of several hundred meters from railway bridges and culverts, i.e. "Jialanji of Luoyang" now has only three layers of earthen terrace sites), and the overall recovery may not be what I want to see in my life. After staying for half an hour, I saw someone coming with his back and running. Remember, don't step on the rammed earth wall foundation, don't destroy the only facilities in it.
The second stop of our survey this year is the old city of the Han and Wei Dynasties. When we went, we were still under construction. There were many exhibition boards. There are exhibition boards such as Lingtai, Taiji Hall, restoration map and so on. Looking at it, it's all desolate land. Most of them only have a rammed soil, but others have not been built. There is only one room for exhibition in the National Archaeological Site Park. There is a large restoration map of the site in the room. There are many buildings in the room. The north is built on Mount Yongshan with great momentum. Looking back on that year, I was still full of pride. Then we went to the city wall, which is now simply protected. There are ruins of the city wall in different periods. The latter wall was added on the basis of the previous dynasty. Then we went to the nearby archaeological base, visited the Taiji Temple site, Tongtuo Street site and so on. Those who like history must go to the research base.
