The pride of the Chinese people! Which city's architecture in the Tang Dynasty was modeled after Kyoto, Japan? Where did the name Luodu come from?
When building Kyoto in Japan, Kyoto was divided into two parts: Tokyo and Xijing. Tokyo imitated Luoyang of the ancient Tang Dynasty in my country, and Xijing imitated Chang'an.
The reason why Kyoto, Japan is called Luodu: Kyoto's history once imitated Luoyang, so Kyoto is also called "Jingluo", "Luodu", or even "Luoyang?".
Introduction to the early architectural pattern of Kyoto, Japan:
Kyoto, Japan, is also called Heian Kyo. Its location was chosen with reference to Feng Shui ideas and imitated Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty in China. It is a traditional city. A city made of mills. Ping'an Jing is about 5.2 kilometers long from north to south and 4.5 kilometers long from east to west. Its area is equivalent to one-fifth of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty in China. Ouchi-ri, where the emperor lived, is located due north of Heian-kyo, with Suzaku Avenue as the center.
The city is divided into two symmetrical parts, Ukyo (also known as "Chang'an") and Sakyo (also known as "Luoyang"). Heiankyo can be said to be a traditional East Asian planned city with large scale and rigorous planning. Heijo-kyo was built after Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Before Emperor Shomu moved the capital to Heijo-kyo, the capital of Japan was Fujiwara-kyo, north of Asuka Village in the south of the Yamato Plain.
In 702 AD (the second year of Dabao), Japan once again sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty. When they returned home, they described in detail the splendor and magnificence of Chang'an City in China. Taking Chang'an Castle as a model, Fujiwara Kyo's passage to the north from Nancheng Gate is Suzaku Avenue, which is 74 meters wide and is about 4 kilometers away from Heijo Palace Suzaku Gate. There are side ditches on the left and right sides of Zhuque Avenue. Willows, locust trees and other trees are planted along the road, forming a tree-lined road.
Foreign envoys from the Tang Dynasty and Silla passed here to Pyeongseong Kyung. The core buildings of Pingcheng Palace, Daji Hall and Chaotangyuan, are located in Pingcheng Palace. This is to imitate the pattern of Chang'an City - the central building of Chang'an is Taiji Palace Taiji Hall, and to the west is Daming Palace Hanyuan Hall. The first Daikyokuden Hall was used to hold the Emperor's enthronement ceremony and foreign envoys' interviews, while the second Daikyokuden Hall was used to handle daily government affairs.
After moving back to Pingchengjing in 745 AD, a pavilion was built on the original site of the First Daji Hall, imitating the Linde Hall of Daming Palace in Chang'an, to hold banquets. The inner area is located to the north of Daechi Hall, and the Chaotangyuan is located to the south of Daege Hall.
