During the Warring States Period, Wei established its capital here, hence the name "Girder". The iron smelting industry is developed and very prosperous. Natural and man-made disasters after the Yellow River flood have almost become ruins and extremely declined. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the country was divided, and the geographical conditions of Kaifeng were very suitable for the development of agricultural economy. As the basis of unifying the whole country, Bianjing became the capital of Hou Liang, Houjin, Houhan and Houzhou.
Bai Juyi described Kaifeng in the poem Sui Liu Di: "At the end of the great cause, the willow color was like smoke and snow." When Emperor Qianlong toured Kaifeng to admire chrysanthemums, he also left a beautiful sentence of "the wind leaves are green and the frost flowers are a hundred chrysanthemums".
For centuries, whether it is called the capital of song dynasty, Tokyo or Kaifeng, this land, this city, has been a prosperous place and a prosperous country for hundreds of years. It is no wonder that after Song Nan moved to Lin 'an, people will still think of Kaifeng House on the beautiful lakeside, saying, "Warm wind makes tourists drunk and Hangzhou becomes Bianzhou."
Extended data:
Bianjing, the capital of Northern Song Dynasty, was the most prosperous and largest city in the world at that time. In 96 1 year, Zhao Kuangyin launched the "Chen Qiao mutiny", seized the throne and established the Song Dynasty. In the next twenty or thirty years, he and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi will command the army, continue to conquer and end the division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries. The rise of Liao and Jin in the north threatened the Northern Song Dynasty, which eventually led to the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty in 1 127. Although the actual ruling territory of the Song Dynasty was limited, it created a miracle of ancient commerce in China.
Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, is a metropolis with a population of over one million, with more than 6,400 shops in the city. Bianjing Central Street is called Yujie Street, which is 200 steps wide and has royal cloisters on both sides of the road. The government of the Northern Song Dynasty changed the old rule that residents in Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties were not allowed to open the door to the street or engage in business activities outside the designated market, and allowed citizens to open shops and shops in the Imperial Gallery and do business along the street. In order to enliven the economic and cultural life, the curfew was relaxed, and the city gate was closed late and opened early.
