The origin of Shangluo

The origin of "Luo": The outstanding feature of the architectural urban planning of the ancient city of Kyoto is that it is very similar to Luoyang City and Chang 'an City in China in the Tang Dynasty. The history of Kyoto began with Heian in Heian period, and 1000 has been the capital of Japan for many years. The design of Ping An Beijing is exactly the same as that of Luoyang in the east and Chang 'an in the west in the Tang Dynasty. Not only is the design the same, but even the site selection is based on China Feng Shui. Ping An Beijing was originally divided into two parts, namely sakyo in the east is called Luoyang, and the seclusion in the west is called Chang 'an. Although the site selection was based on geomantic omen at that time, the secluded path Chang 'an had bad geomantic omen and was located in a swamp, so the development work was abandoned before it was successful. Only sakyo "Luoyang" is left in safe Beijing. Thus, Kyoto has been called Luoyang for more than 1000 years.

The center of the north of the city is Miyagi, and the royal family is here. Outside Miyagi, there is an imperial city used as an official office, and outside the imperial city, there is a capital city where ordinary officials and civilians live. The city covers an area of about 20 square kilometers, which is rectangular, with vertical and horizontal streets and symmetrical intersections, and looks like a chessboard. So the Japanese always like to call Kyoto "Luoyang" and "Los Angeles". Xijing, known as Chang 'an during the Kamakura shogunate, declined, while Luoyang, Tokyo, flourished and surpassed Xijing. So at that time, the Japanese name was Luoyang, Kyoto, and when the name of the Warring States came to Beijing, it was naturally called Shangluo.

Because the capital is called Luoyang, before the Meiji Restoration, the action of the Warring States leading troops into Beijing was called Shangluo, which was the goal pursued by Takeda Shingen and other famous Warring States, just like China's "winning the Central Plains" in the Spring and Autumn Period. Similarly, the Feng Jingen area near Kyoto is called "Luo Zhong". In Kyoto Prefecture, Luodong, Rossi, Luonan, Luobei, Luo Zhong and Luoyang can still be seen everywhere. Besides Kyoto, Nara, another city in Japan, was also called "peaceful Beijing" in ancient times. At first, I wanted to imitate the "Safe Beijing" of Datong in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty soon moved to Luoyang, so Nara built Nara's "Safe Beijing" after Luoyang in the Han and Wei Dynasties. In recent years, "Luoyang Studies" has also been born in Japan, which is a discipline specializing in the ancient capital Luoyang.
