Speaking of Anyang, the cultural capital of China, we all know that it is one of the eight ancient capitals in ancient China. Seven dynasties? It is one of the centers of Chinese civilization, and it has more? China's first ancient capital? Known as. China's three kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, followed by Cao Wei, Hou Zhao, Wei Ran, Yan Qian Eastern Wei, Northern Qi and other six dynasties all established their capitals here. Anyang is also the hometown of Oracle Bone Inscriptions and the birthplace of Zhouyi, and its historical significance cannot be underestimated.

Anyang has a history of 3000 years and is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. Anyang is located in the north shore plain of the western section of the lower Yellow River, with hilly terrain in the west and alluvial plain in the middle and east. The ancient rivers are among them, leaving the footprints of human activities 20,000 years ago, and today's Paleolithic "Xiaonanhai Culture" is here.

Anyang, Henan Province is an ancient cultural city with a history of more than 3,000 years. It is the earliest recorded ancient capital in China and a witness of Chinese civilization. Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the earliest written language used by Chinese civilization, was discovered here, and the world's largest bronze ware, the stepmother Wu Dafang Ding (formerly known as Simuwu Dafang Ding), was also unearthed here. As early as more than 3,300 years ago, King Pan Geng of the Shang Dynasty moved the capital to Yin until the Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty. During this period, * * * experienced eight generations and twelve kings, which lasted for 273 years. This place is called Yindu in history.
