0 1. First, the traffic advantage of Zhengzhou is superior to that of Luoyang and Kaifeng.
Since ancient times, Luoyang and Kaifeng have become important ancient capitals for many times, and Zhengzhou is very common, but Henan Province chose Zhengzhou when choosing the provincial capital city. This is a bit confusing. You should know that Zhengzhou is Kaifeng to the east and Luoyang to the west, which can't compare with Luoyang and Kaifeng in any case, or you can just say that there is no advantage at all.
In fact, it is very correct for Henan Province to choose Zhengzhou. You know, with the development of society, to be the capital of a city is not only about cultural values, but also about economy. To develop the economy, we must first develop the road, and the road will be easy and the money will come. Zhengzhou's transportation hub is obviously better than Luoyang and Kaifeng, because the intersection of Longhai Line and Beijing-Guangzhou Line is right here in Zhengzhou.
The second reason is that Zhengzhou's economy is better than Luoyang and Kaifeng.
There is also the choice of Zhengzhou as the provincial capital city. In addition to its good transportation location, Zhengzhou has better economic development potential than Luoyang and Kaifeng. We should know that Luoyang and Kaifeng have been developing for many years, and their development potential has been developed. Especially, Luoyang has been going on since it lost its status as a capital in history, and its economy has been terrible since the founding of New China. Kaifeng also experienced the baptism of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period and became the hardest hit area. If we want to talk about economic capacity, we should choose Zhengzhou.
The third reason is that Henan needs to protect the culture of Luoyang and Kaifeng.
It is also speculated that Zhengzhou was chosen as the capital city of Henan Province to protect the culture of Luoyang and Kaifeng. You know Kaifeng and Luoyang have been regarded as ancient capitals for many times in history, and there are simply too many cultural relics buried underground in these two places. However, modern society needs development and will be destroyed. So for the purpose of protecting culture, we can only give up Luoyang and Kaifeng and choose Zhengzhou instead.
