There are many ancient capitals in China, but Xi'an has the longest history and most of its capital. It enjoys the reputation of "the ancient imperial state of Qin Dynasty" and has the impression of an imperial city that cannot be erased by the Chinese people. It has also become the first stop of many foreign heads of state to visit China and is compared to China's ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and the cradle of Chinese civilization.
Xi'an today was very prosperous in ancient China (especially before the Song Dynasty). However, under the precipitation of thousands of years of history, one of the names in Xi'an today that is most praised by future generations is Chang' an. The grandeur of Chang 'an in the Han Dynasty and the majestic atmosphere and grandeur of Chang' an in the Tang Dynasty make us dream of it. No matter how many times we come, we will never get tired of it.
I can't remember whether I came here for the second or third time, but every time I come here, there are still many tourists looking for delicious snacks here. Many people say it is an antique neighborhood, just a place to eat. But people seem to have ignored an important detail. Xi'an, the thousand-year-old capital, is full of historic relics underground.
Yongxingfang is no exception. More than 1,400 years ago, Wei Zheng, a Cambodian minister who has long been famous in ancient Chinese history, lived here. It was the former site of Wei Zheng's mansion in the Tang Dynasty and has profound history and culture.
Wei Zheng was a famous professional role model in history. He was the most trusted remonstrant in front of Emperor Taizong, and was regarded by Emperor Taizong as a mirror (a mirror for others). On today's South Gate Main Square of Yongxing Square, a bronze mirror points to its historical background. However, in addition to advising Emperor Taizong in political, economic, cultural and other aspects, Wei Zheng also had to manage Emperor Taizong's private life.
Although Wei Zheng was sincere and conscientious, over time, Emperor Taizong had a grudge against him. After Wei Zheng's death, Emperor Taizong finally broke out and smashed Wei Zheng's tombstone with his own hands. He also went back on his word and terminated the engagement between Princess Hengshan and Wei Zheng's son.
Although there are many theories about the subsequent confrontation between Emperor Taizong and Wei Zheng, it is undeniable that Wei Zheng had a status and importance that was important during Emperor Taizong's administration. Otherwise, after his death, he would not have lamented: "Husband, use copper as a mirror to straighten your clothes; use history as a mirror to know the rise and fall; use people as a mirror to know the gains and losses. If Wei Zheng is dead, I will die."
Today's Weizheng Mansion has become a good place for tourists to search for delicious food and experience Xi'an's folk culture. It is 130 meters long from east to west and 88 meters wide from north to south. With a brand-new "Fang", it adds to the heritage of the ancient city and allows tourists to experience the "Tang City 108 Fang" style.
It includes Youfang, Si-building complex, archway, leisure square, inner street, well house, etc., forming a Gulifang layout and displaying the neighborhood form and historical life atmosphere of ancient Chang 'an City.
Here, there are special delicacies and snacks from various regions in Shaanxi, as well as folk creations, handicrafts and folk experiences. Among them, what tourists relish most is undoubtedly the popular Internet drinking bowl.
According to the "Tang soldiers" standing at the south gate, during the period when bowls of wine were smashed, Yongxing Square was jammed to the brim. Many tourists came to Xi'an by plane and high-speed train just to break bowls at Yongxing Square.
However, with the rise of bowl wine in scenic spots across the country, the craze for bowl wine itself has faded, but the popularity of Yongxingfang remains undiminished. Different folk cultures are displayed every day, such as high-pitched, rugged, majestic and heroic Huayin old tune, traditional cake making, etc.
If you want to choose between throwing a bowl of wine and Huayin old tune, the latter is highly recommended. As a Jiangnan girl, I was inspired by this powerful northwest old accent.
This kind of pain and pleasure in pursuing freedom and casual nature sounds quite like the Kansai Han singing the Great East. This kind of performance method is also known as the "earliest rock" on the loess slopes. Although it is a national-level intangible cultural heritage culture, given that it is a special type of family drama, it is still in an endangered state on the verge of extinction and urgently needs long-term protection.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that you go to Yongxing Square to experience Tang Dynasty culture and search for delicious food. At the same time, you must also listen to this Huayin old accent, which will definitely make your blood boil. This is something I had never heard of before when I came to Yongxing Square. Now I hear it with my own ears and see it with my own eyes. It's really great.
This is why no matter how many times Xi'an comes, he will never get tired of it, and he will envy Xi'an people for protecting and inheriting ancient culture and folk customs so well. The completion of Yongxingfang not only improves the historical style of Shuncheng streets and alleys, but also fully demonstrates the historical heritage of the ancient city. It also demonstrates the urban charm of Xi'an's intangible food culture.
I really envy this! Every time I come to Xi'an, I can't help but sigh. Why did successive emperors build their capital here? Geographical advantages, environmental advantages, danger and wealth gave birth to the magnificent capital. Over the past few thousand years, it is impossible to count how many civilized monuments have been accumulated and deposited underground in Xi'an.
But today, Xi'an takes advantage of this advantage to fully explore, use, display and restore culture, becoming one of the most popular tourist cities in China today. While most people only see the "Internet celebrity" side, Xi'an presents me with an all-round cultural level. The essence of all the heritage of the past three thousand years has been condensed and dispersed, picking up a kind of spiritual belief that we are very scarce today.
In my opinion, the ancient capital of Xi'an has never been an Internet celebrity.
