Speaking of Luoyang, in fact, many people don't know that it is the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty, the starting point of the Oriental Silk Road, the birthplace of China's four great inventions and the earliest China in history. ......
But even if she is so awesome, she is willing to be a third-tier city. If it weren't for the popularity of Laojunshan, I don't know how long her stealth mode would last.
A thousand words, just want to say: Luoyang, don't keep a low profile!

What is Luoyang?
Luoyang, located in the Central Plains and the west of Henan Province.
Because it spans the north and south banks of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and is surrounded by mountains on three sides, it can retreat and defend, and it can enter and attack. In the era of cold weapons, it was favored by emperors and monarchs. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the rivers and mountains are worn out and the situation is excellent".

If you ask about the rise and fall of ancient and modern times, please only look at Luoyang City.

After vicissitudes of life, I am willing to be plain.
low key
Although it doesn't attract attention at ordinary times, it is one of the four holy cities in the world, listed as a world famous cultural city, and the only ten historical ancient cities in China that have been selected and ranked first in the world!
But now people talk about the ancient capital, even if Luoyang is not excluded, their impression of her is vague.
However, Luoyang people seem to have accepted the reality that Luoyang has become the ancient capital of China and the second child for thousands of years.
Maybe Luoyang people have long been used to changing dynasties, so they should change with the same. Luoyang does not need to continue to create glorious history, because it is a glorious history in itself.
Of course, it is also very likely that because of the influence of religious beliefs such as "Tao" and "Buddha", I have a little bit of immortality and cultivated some sage like style who sees through the world of mortals.
Thousands of years' history of building a capital city has left Luoyang people with a vast ocean of cultural relics. Whether it has been unearthed or buried underground, it runs through the daily life of Luoyang people and carries a lot of cultural wealth, which Luoyang people are always satisfied with.
But even without the popularity of Xi 'an, a network celebrity, and the blessings of all kinds of traffic, her profound heritage is worth seeing.
