In some of our common Tang poems, we often see the word "Yuan". In ancient times, the word did not mean the original meaning, but referred to a topography in the north. The fields cut by rivers or sandstorms were divided into large areas. The original in Chang 'an City is an important living place for the common people. For example, it can be seen that the "original" has a great relationship in people's lives in poems such as "The grass is far away from the plains, and the grass is withered every year" and "I feel uncomfortable in the evening, driving to the ancient plains".

1. Bailuyuan

The one that is more well-known in Xi'an is Bailuyuan. The Bailu Plain between the Chan and Ba rivers is also called Baling Plain. It borders the Qinling Mountains in the south and reaches Ba 'an in the north. Bailu Plain is a typical loess platform with beautiful scenery and many scenic spots. The Baling, Baoqizhai Village and Bo Empress Dowager Mausoleum of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty are on top of Bailu Plain.

2. Shaolingyuan

Shaoling Plain was named Hongguyuan in the Han Dynasty, and it was also called Duling Plain because Du Ling was built on Du Chengnan Plain. Duling Plain started from Chang 'an District in the south and reached Lujiazhai in the north. It was located between the Yan and Chan Rivers. Shaoling Plain was open and the terrain was high. In ancient times, standing on the plain had a broad vision, and the undulating grass slopes all made people feel good.

3. Fengqiyuan

Xi'an's original land has never lacked poetic names. There is a stop on Xi'an Metro Line 2 called Fengqiyuan, which is close to Weiqu. In fact, Fengqi was originally the northwest of Shaoling Plateau. It is said that during the Han Dynasty, eleven phoenixes once lived here, hence the name. It is said that only when you enter Fengqi Plain can you truly enter Chang 'an City.

4. Longshou Yuan

Longshou Plain was once the boundary between Chang 'an City in the Han and Tang Dynasties. It is said that in ancient times, black dragons once came to the Wei River to drink water, and their traces turned into Longshou Plain. The terrain of Longshou Yuan gradually rises from the Wei River to the south, like a dragon's head, hence the name Longshou Yuan. Historically, Longshou Plain was often selected as the site of palaces by successive royal families. Today, Longshou Plain is also on Metro Line 2, facing Fengqi Plain from north to south.

5. Shenheyuan

Shenhe was originally the watershed between the Yi River and the Yi River. This original area was connected to Luyu Weir in the north and Wutai in the south. It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin traveled here and discovered a double-ear rice seedling, so he was named "Shenhe". Nowadays, the scenery on the original site is beautiful and beautiful. The Qin Cemetery Site of the Warring States Period, Xiangji Temple, Liuqing Tomb and other sites are all here.

6. Le Youyuan

In ancient times, Le Youyuan was a place where people climbed high to visit natural scenery. It was once the highest point of Chang 'an City in the Tang Dynasty. The terrain is high and you can overlook the entire ancient city from afar. Naturally, it became the best scenic spot for climbing a Range Rover. Today's Le Youyuan in Xi'an is located outside the southeastern Second Ring Road in the city, and it still retains its historical significance. There are many good places for spring outing nearby. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, Qinglong Temple is crowded with people and is very lively.

Nowadays, these ancient plains are covered by layers of high-rise buildings, but there is still the shadow of these ancient plains in our lives. Whether it is a subway station or a tourist attraction, we can deeply feel the existence of these landscapes.
