Praise for my hometown-Datong! Talk from all sides!

Datong City is also known as Phoenix City. There is a beautiful legend: There is a golden phoenix above the Lingxiao Hall in the Heavenly Palace. Once, it went to the Yaochi Fairy Meeting with the Jade Emperor. After all the immortals were drunk, they were all in high spirits, talking and laughing. Especially, the eight-hole fairy described the beauty of the world vividly and beautifully. After listening to it, Jinfeng thought to herself, "I am in the Heavenly Palace, observing the law and discipline. Thinking of this, he grabbed Zhang Guolao's skirt, and Zhang Guolao immediately understood. They quietly left their seats and went to the dark place. Jinfeng begged Zhang Guolao to take her to the world. Zhang Guolao said, "It's a good thing to return to the world, and I will do my best to fulfill it.

"Jin Feng said," Which treasure land do you think can stay? " Zhang Guolao said, "Datong is a treasure trove of geomantic omen, with profound folk customs and phoenix trees everywhere.

and I'm practicing alchemy in Hengshan, and you're staying in Datong, not far apart, so you can take care of each other if something happens? quot; Say "happy" and quietly return to your seat.

after the jade emperor retired from the dynasty, when there was no one in Lingxiao Hall, the golden phoenix turned into a bee, escaped from the gatekeeper warrior and escaped from the Hall. Immediately, the golden phoenix spread its wings and flew, reaching Datong and landing on the buttonwood tree.

The next day, the Jade Emperor didn't see the golden phoenix in the early morning, so he urged Erlang God Yang Jian to enter and capture it. Yang Jian came to Datong in a fog, and when he found the golden phoenix, he ordered her to turn back to the Heavenly Palace immediately. Jinfeng insisted on not obeying, and Yang Jian said, "You left the palace privately, violating the dogma, and if you don't return to the palace, you will be punished! "Jin Feng said imploringly," I would rather be punished than go back to Heaven to be lonely.

"When Yang Jian heard this, he immediately became angry from embarrassment. He drew his bow and arrow and shot an arrow at Jinfeng, hitting her right wing.

Jin Feng endured the pain and fled to Hengshan Mountain in Hunyuan. After finding Zhang Guolao, she took painkillers and recovered immediately.

Then, Zhang Guolao gave dreams to the Ming emperors respectively, instructing them to build Datong into the shape of a phoenix spreading its wings, which the Ming dynasty thought was an act of God.

So, in the fifth year of Hongwu, Xu Da, the general, was asked to build a big city in the former site of "Yunzhong Tucheng" in Liao and Jin Dynasties. Jingtai years, so that the governor was rich in the northern part of the city to build a "northern town"; During the Tianshun period, Han Yong, the governor of the Imperial Capital, built an "East Town" in the east of the city and a "South Town" in the south of the city.

Looking at the ancient city of Datong, the towers are surrounded and the horns are heard; The attic is symmetrical and echoes from afar; There are many archways, competing for each other; Palace government offices, mighty and strict; On behalf of Wangfu, it is magnificent and rich; Temple temple, simple and solemn; Pavilions and pavilions, one after another; There are dozens of persimmons, and horses and chariots are like smoke.

As the saying goes, the city is high and deep, magnificent, impregnable and heavily fortified. It is not only called the "key to the north", but also "its prosperity is no less than that of the south of the Yangtze River".

The main city is tall and majestic, and the three small towns in the east, south and north are connected by corners, commonly known as Dongguan, Nanguan and Beiguan, but there is no Xiguan.

the whole layout, with its high and low levels and ranks, is regular and generous, just like a golden phoenix stretching its wings, holding its head high in the morning sun, saving its strength and benefiting one side.

Nanguan is the head of the golden phoenix, the main city is the body of the golden phoenix, the north gate is the phoenix tail, the east gate is the golden phoenix spreading its wings, and the west of the city is the golden phoenix folding its wings, which is not extended because of the arrow wound. The beautiful buildings in the city are like the splendor of the golden phoenix feather.

this peculiar layout of castle building is rare in China.

after the vicissitudes of the past dynasties, most of these beautiful buildings with carved beams and painted beams on the roof of Dan Zhu tiles were destroyed by the wars of the past dynasties, and some were demolished due to the expansion of the city.

Today, the landscape of mountains and rivers remains, and historical relics still exist, so passers-by can only mourn.

Fortunately, there is only one Gu Lou left in the city, so visitors can visit it, look at its features, reminisce about the past, and imagine the prosperous scene of that year

Jinghua in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the capital of Liao and Jin Dynasties, an important town in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,

a long history and magnificent culture,

Datong, a famous historical and cultural city in China, is known as "a famous city beyond the Great Wall".

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Royal River, a tributary of the Sanggan River, runs through the north and south.

For a long time, people's understanding of Datong has stopped at the richness of coal capital, the magnificence of Yungang and the grandeur of Huayan Temple. In fact, as early as 1982, Datong, together with 24 cities including Beijing and Chengde, was listed as the "Famous Historical and Cultural City of China" in the first batch, becoming the only city in Shanxi.

So, what kind of history and culture does the city of Datong bear, so that it can win this honor?

first, Datong has a long history. To be precise, it has a history of more than 2, years. Moreover, in this long history, it built the capital once and served as the capital twice.

The second item is culture. One sentence notes that the mountain (Yanmenguan) is separated, and our Taiyuan and Jinnan belong to the culture of the Yellow River basin. The other sentence notes that the north of the mountain is the culture of the Sanggan River basin. If you can barely say it, then these two cultures are very different. What are the differences between these two cultures? I think from this point of view, the south of the mountain is the agricultural economy and culture of the Central Plains, and the north of the mountain is the culture combining nomadic culture and agricultural culture, so the cultural characteristics of this place come out. It is the characteristic of a minority culture. It is precisely because the minority culture has brought characteristics to Datong's culture that it is not high, but it has characteristics, and the characteristics are valuable!

the third is the capital city. More than 8% of the first batch of historical and cultural cities were built with capitals, such as Xi 'an, Luoyang, Beijing and Nanjing, which were the capitals of several dynasties, and the time was very ancient, especially Xi 'an and Luoyang, which are ancient capitals. So Datong, as the capital city, was only a capital city in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was also a time when the Northern and Southern Dynasties were divided, but accurately speaking, In these 978 years, this capital city had a glorious period. This glorious situation is still not well documented. Through recent years' research, it is still considerable. The capital city, its ruins, its history and its culture make Datong the first batch of famous historical and cultural cities, which is well deserved.

Datong was called Pingcheng and Yunzhong in ancient times, but it was renamed Datong in Liao Dynasty.

historically, it was an ancient battlefield where the Han nationality in the Central Plains and the nomadic people outside the Great Wall competed for the world. The special geographical location created the war history and ethnic blending history of Datong for thousands of years.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was here that King Wuling of Zhao abandoned the heavy chariot robes and promoted the light riding and shooting of Hu clothes, thus achieving a generation of hegemony.

In the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang led an army to fight against the Huns, and was trapped in Baideng Mountain, Pingcheng for seven days and seven nights. Later, he used Chen Ping's trick to bribe E Shi, the wife of Huns Khan, to break through.

The defeat of this war made the Western Han Dynasty * * * change its strategy towards the Xiongnu, and made a pro-marriage agreement with the Xiongnu, which led to the departure of Zhaojun, who was later passed down as a much-told story.

A famous historical city is always associated with some historical celebrities who are proud of the past and the present.

In 398 AD, Tuobagui, a leader of Xianbei nationality from the depths of the grassland, unified the north and established the Northern Wei Dynasty, becoming the first minority dynasty in China history to compete with the southern Han regime.

Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, is the northeast of Datong today.

Pingcheng was the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty for nearly a hundred years until Emperor Xiaowen of Wei moved to Luoyang.

after nearly a hundred years of painstaking efforts, Pingcheng became the political, military, economic and cultural center of the north at that time, and wrote the most brilliant chapter in the history of Datong.
