Chapter 345 Chang'an

Chapter 345 Chang'an
Chang'an was called Haojing in ancient times and Xianyang in Qin Dynasty.

When Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty established his capital in Guanzhong, he built a city at the former site of Xianyang and built his capital. It was first called Chang'an, which means "permanent peace and stability".

Over the past dynasties, whether it was Zhou Haojing, Qin Xianyang, Han Chang'an, or even Sui Daxing at this time, their geographical locations were slightly different.

Qinxianyang has no city walls, and its main building complex spans both sides of the Feng River from east to west, and across the Wei River from north to south.

To the north of the Weihe River are the Ji Que, Xianyang Palace, Lanchi Palace and the unique "Six Kingdoms Palace"; to the south is the "Afang Palace", which is famous for later generations, as well as the Ganquan Palace and Shanglin Garden for the emperor to play.

Chang'an of the Han Dynasty is located in the northwest of Afang Palace, bordered by the Weishui River in the north and Fengshui River in the east, occupying only part of Qin Xianyang.

The city was first built in the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu, and there was no outer city wall in the early days. It was not until the time of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty that Chang'an of the Han Dynasty had a city outline.

After more than [-] years, it went through the Western Han Dynasty, Xin Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty (Dong Zhuo moved to the west), Western Jin Dynasty, Former Zhao Dynasty, Former Qin Dynasty, Later Qin Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty and Northern Zhou Dynasty. Chang'an just withdrew from the stage of history.

And Huang Lin's current Chang'an, that is, Daxing City, is located in Longshouyuan in the southeast of Han Chang'an.

The Afang Palace was also built here!
In a country with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, there are nine gates in the city.If you don't see the emperor's capital is strong, you will know the emperor's respect.

A collection of cultural relics, the imperial capital for thousands of years!
Xiao Jin carried Huang Lin hovering high in the sky, and Chang'an City stood like a giant monster in ancient times on the south bank of the Wei River in the Guanzhong Plain known as "Eight Hundred Li Qinchuan".

The south is Zhongnan Mountain in the middle of the Qinling Mountains. The mountains are stacked on top of each other, and they are steep and steep. They have become a natural barrier to the south.

In the north, there are Yaoshan, Huanglongshan, Sagashan, Liangshan and other mountains that form a winding Beishan mountain system, facing the Qinling Mountains.

On the large fertile plains drawn by these mountain ranges, the city of Chang'an occupies it, and the waters of Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, 潏, 滈, Chan, and Ba surround and linger like strings of crystal-clear and glittering beads with floating tassels, forming a " The "eight waters around Chang'an" situation.

These rivers are like blood vessels, not only providing Chang'an with abundant water sources, but also making Chang'an full of vitality.

"Qinzhong has been an imperial state since ancient times", because of various strategic and economic advantages, this plain has been favored by the leaders of the past generations.

From Qin Shihuang creating the situation of centralization and unification here, to Zhang Qian’s two trips to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty, he opened up the Silk Road from Chang’an to the Western Regions, and promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West. The bond of civilization.

The prosperity of the situation can only be compared with Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Coincidentally, Luoyang at this time was also built in the Sui Dynasty, and it was built by the same person.

Yu Wenkai, a master architect that Huang Lin admires.

After coming to this world for more than a year, Huang Lin has also seen many large and small cities, the larger ones are Xiangyang, Jiujiang, Jiangdu and Jiangling, and the smaller ones are Dangyang, Fancheng, Guangshan and other counties.

The layout of the city is completely incomparable with the cities in the previous worlds. Inside, government offices, residential buildings, markets and other places are intertwined, which is very messy.

After arriving in Luoyang, Huang Lin was amazed when he saw the square, fair, balanced and symmetrical layout.

Hence the great interest in the man who built Luoyang.

After some research, Huang Lin found out that Yu Wenkai almost single-handedly regulated the layout of the entire Central Plains city.

Before he built Daxing City, all the big and small cities in the past dynasties in the Central Plains had no rules and no layout. Basically, they were built wherever they were free, even the capital city.

After Yu Wenkai built Daxing City, the balanced and symmetrical layout of the city was formally formed.

The capital city is even more strict, such as the current Daxing City, the three parts of the palace, the imperial city, and the residential areas are relatively separated, with clear boundaries.

The palace city and the imperial city are located in the center of the northern part of the capital, and the squares in the outer city guard the palace city and the imperial city from the left, right and south sides.With the Zhuque Street in the middle as the boundary, the east and west belong to Wannian and Chang'an counties.

The palace city and the imperial city were the residences of the Sui royal family, while Guocheng was the place where the common people lived together, each with its own layout.

Thousands of homes are like a game of Go, and Twelfth Street is like a vegetable field.

Daxing (hereinafter referred to as Chang'an) Guocheng has eleven north-south streets and fourteen east-west streets, which divide the interior of Guocheng into [-] squares in a staggered manner.

The Lifang system established by Li and Tang began here.

The main traffic in Chang'an City is three north-south avenues and three east-west avenues running between the city gates, the most spacious of which is Zhuque Avenue, which is as wide as Luoyang Tianjie, with a width of [-] feet, and the rest are not as good as Zhuque Avenue. The breadth, but its scale can also be imagined.

"Come on, let's go down there."

On the back of the eagle, after admiring the chessboard-like Chang'an City at high altitude, Huang Lin pointed to the direction of Zhongnan Mountain in the suburbs, and told Xiao Jin.Thinking about it in my heart, I will go to have a bird's-eye view of Luoyang City someday when I have time. Such a magnificent city is really exciting.

Xiao Jin was too big, and it was too eye-catching to bring into the city, so after Huang Lin fell to the ground, he let him go to Zhongnan Mountain.

He also considered before whether the Dita Peak where Cihang Jingzhai is located is hidden in Zhongnan, but neither Lu Miaozi, Song Que, nor Zhu Yuyan knew where it was, and told Huang Lin with absolute certainty, Stepping Emperor Peak is not in Zhongnan Mountain.

That's why Huang Lin was relieved to let Xiao Jin go there by himself.

There are three gates in the south of Chang'an City, from left to right are Anhua Gate, Mingde Gate and Qixia Gate.

Entering the city from the Mingde Gate in the middle, you will see the 40-foot-wide Zhuque Street. Although it is not as wide as Luoyang’s Tianjie Street (60 feet), Huang Lin still admires this extraordinary capital city that is full of emperors and overlords. The heyday was shocking.

There are drainage ditches on both sides of the street, which are as wide as small rivers. Stone bridges are paved at the intersection of the roads and ditches, forming a characteristic of Chang'an.

There are also locust trees planted on both sides of the avenue, but it is already late autumn, and the dense branches and leaves have already withered and withered, making the majestic Chang'an City even more desolate.

But this scene does not damage the prosperity of Chang'an. The streets are full of traffic and pedestrians are like crucian carp. Its lively level is no worse than that of Luoyang.

This time, Huang Lin didn't travel in a carriage like he did in Luoyang, but used his feet to measure this famous capital that has been passed down through the ages.

Whether there are shops or residential buildings on both sides of Suzaku Street, there are tall and generous courtyards with many courtyards.

The houses in the lanes and lanes are single-storey buildings with blue tiles and white walls, arranged in rows of streets and alleys, with high walls and deep courtyards, and long and quiet lanes, which are quite different from the bustling streets, quiet and peaceful.

Along the way, the courtyards on both sides are extremely gorgeous, and the installations of the shops are also full of thoughtfulness. The buckets and beams are exquisitely carved, or the beams are interspersed, or the brackets protrude from the eaves. He secretly decided that he would take a good tour of Luoyang Paradise Street in the future.

At that time, when he first arrived in Luoyang, he took the carriage all the way, but he didn't go shopping in Tianjie. It's a pity to think about it now!
Along the way, passing through Anyi, Baoning, Lanling, Zunshan, Anmin, and Kaihua workshops, you can see the Suzaku Gate.

The Suzaku Gate is the southern main gate of the imperial city, guarded by many soldiers from the Sui army. The person staying in Chang'an at this time should be Yang Guang's grandson Yang You.

After taking a look at the majestic imperial city, Huang Lin turned at Xingdaofang and turned onto Guangming Street towards Chunmingmen.

Guangming Street connects Jinguang Gate in the west and Chunming Gate in the east. It is one of the main streets that traverse the east and west, and it is also a landmark street that distinguishes the powerful and the rich from the ordinary people.

Not exactly, but more or less.

Probably because the two squares in the northeast corner and northwest corner of Chang'an City are close to the imperial city, and adjacent to the east and west cities, the CBD business district is nothing like it.

Go east along Guangdaming Street, pass Pingkangfang, well, it is the famous Pingkangfang, after passing Pingkangfang where there are many Yingyans, the right hand is Metropolitan City, which is commonly known as Dongshi by the people; It is Yirenfang.

After curiously looking at the bustling East Market and the magnificent building inside, Huang Lin turned his head across the street and entered Yirenfang directly through a gate.

The mansions in Yirenfang have many courtyards, luxuriant forests and bamboos, majestic pavilions, and passers-by are all well-dressed. Obviously, living here is either rich or expensive.

Fortunately, Wang Tong seems to have a good reputation here, and after Huang Lin inquired about it, someone enthusiastically led the way.

When they arrived at a mansion with high gates, the young man who led the way gave Huang Lin an envious look before leaving.

Just as Huang Lin was about to call for the door, the side door opened with a "squeak" and Wang Tong's voice came from inside.

"Keming, if you have nothing to do, come to the house to chat with the old man, old man"

Wang Tongzheng came out with a man in his thirties dressed as a Confucian scholar. When he looked up, he saw Huang Lin who was smiling silently on the steps, and his eyes were filled with joy.

"You boy, why did you come to Chang'an!"
