Luoyi VS Hojing, who is the capital in the heart of the Zhou Dynasty?

Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-08

The ancestors of the Zhou people used to be agricultural officials in the Xia Dynasty, so they were especially good at farming.

When it came to King Wuyi of the Shang Dynasty, in order to avoid the attack of the Yi people, Ji Kang, the leader of the Zhou people, led the people to move to the plain at the foot of Qishan, so this place was also called Zhou Yuan.

The Zhou people built water conservancy and cities here, and gradually developed and expanded.

One day, a phoenix landed on the top of Qishan Mountain and sang a pleasant song. It just so happened that Ji Yan's third grandson was born.

Ji Yan said happily, where the phoenix sings, it indicates prosperity, this wealth and wealth, could it be promised to this child? So, he named the child Ji Chang.

When Ji Chang grew up, he became the patriarch, he was loyal and sincere, and the other small tribes around him respected him very much. Emperor Xin, the king of Shang, appointed him as the Marquis of Xibo, administering the surrounding tribes and states.

Ji Chang became an official, and some people were not happy. Who? The monarch of Chongguo, Chonghou Hu.

Chongguo is in the east of Zhouyuan, Chonghou Hu is arrogant and domineering, and he is the confidant of the Shang king Emperor Xin, the surrounding small countries are afraid of him, and he himself often considers himself Xibo, calling around and drinking.

Seeing that Ji Chang had become Xibohou, Chonghou Hu felt that his official position had been robbed, so he often made a small report in front of the Shang King Emperor Xin, falsely accusing Ji Chang of bribing the princes and having a heart of disobedience.

Di Xin believed his words, so he arrested Ji Chang, and was so frightened that the Zhou people hurriedly gathered a large number of treasures and gave them to the king of Shang, and then released the people back.

Ji Chang suffered an unwarranted disaster, lost a large amount of treasures, and hated Chonghou Hu in his heart. Immediately organize manpower to build a city on the west bank of the Feng River on the edge of Chongguo, and named it "Fengcheng" to monitor Chongguo.

Later, Ji Chang's son Ji Fa built a city on the east bank of the Feng River, named "Pickaxe City", and pressed Chongguo on one left and one right.

A few years later, Ji sent troops to destroy Chongguo, combined Fengcheng and Hocheng into one, named "Hojing", and moved the capital from Zhouyuan to Hojing. At the same time, the banner of anti-business was raised.

After King Wu succeeded in defeating the Emperor, he sealed the remnants of Yin Shang in the Song Kingdom, and sealed several younger brothers around the Song Kingdom to monitor them. Considering that the distance was too far and the management was inconvenient, the plan to move the capital was naturally placed on King Wu's table.

After the Martial King scanned the entire map of the universe, his gaze was fixed on one place and could no longer move. Yes, this is it!

South of the Yellow River, east of Luoshui, north of Songshan, and west of Hugao. What a gem!

I don't know what this place used to be called, but from today, it's called Nakuri. I'm going to build a big capital here, the first capital in the world!

As soon as he said it, King Wu of Zhou immediately sent all kinds of technical personnel, such as those who read feng shui, those who knew engineering, those who knew how to build, and those ......who could divinationIt is necessary to use the fastest speed to report the feasibility report to me.

Unfortunately, before the report came out, King Wu of Zhou died. When his younger brothers saw that the young master was young, they immediately reversed. The counterinsurgency was important, and the matter of building the city was put aside for the time being.

The regent Zhou Gongdan made a quick move, and the feudal kings were cleaned up without much bubbling. Zhou Gongdan wiped up and down inside and out for a few years, everything in the Zhou Dynasty was stable, Haiyan River was clear, and the young lord Zhou Chengwang also grew up.

The construction of Nakyi City is back on the agenda.

King Zhou Cheng once again sent a huge delegation to conduct a detailed analysis of the local mountains, rivers, rivers, products and landforms, and came to a conclusion: this place is too suitable for building a capital.

The young son of heaven waved his hand and started work! The vigorous city-building plan of the Zhou Dynasty began to be implemented.

This project is the proposal of the former chairman Wu Wang, the current chairman Cheng Wang patted the board, the foundation laid by Zhao Gong, the head of Zhou Gong, and the funds raised by the princes of various countries. During the start of construction, many leaders such as Chengwang, Zhou Gong, and Zhao Gong took turns to inspect.

With such attention, the progress of the project is naturally fast. It took less than a year from the first digging of the soil to the opening of the water road.

On the day of the ribbon cutting, please see:

The city is 1,700 zhang long from north to south, 774 miles wide from east to west, with mountains in the south and rivers in the north, located in the middle of heaven and earth. This is a big city that has never been there before, and it is much larger than Hokyo.

King Zhou Cheng sacrificed to his ancestors, moved the temple over, and placed the nine tripods, which symbolized the kingship of the world, in the main hall.

Since then, Luoyi has become the new capital of the Zhou Dynasty, also known as "Cheng Zhou", which means that the world is peaceful and great things have been accomplished. The original capital, Hokyo, is also known as "Zongzhou", which means that the original intention will always be kept and the origin of the sect will not be forgotten.

It was from this time that there was a Chinese name, which is evidenced by cultural relics. The vassal states of Jin, Zheng, Wei, and Song near Luoyi also began to call themselves China.

Later, King Zhou Li moved the capital back to Haojing, and when it came to King Zhou You, Dog Rong broke through Haojing and burned the city palace. King You died, and his son King Zhou Ping moved the capital to Luoyi.

Throughout the 800 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Luoyi has been the capital for more than 500 years. Sima Guang said that the rise and fall of the world only looks at Luoyang City.

As the saying goes, the ancient cannot be examined. In the absence of definite evidence of cultural relics, all opinions are disputed, and all claims are substantiated.

Some people read "Shi Ji", some people read "Shangshu", and they listened to the story.

*Story: The plaything is demoralized, Wei Yigong makes the crane a general, and the people: Let the crane go to fight for you!

What kind of snake is it that is false and wrong? Have we all read it wrong?

How good is Chen Cang, why did it change its name to Baoji? This reason is convincing!
