Yang Guanzhai archaeological excavation confirmed the Yellow Emperor Zeng Jiandu

Yang Guanzhai is considered the capital of the Yellow Emperor.

Yang Guanzhai excavated a bird’s eye view of the site, and its discovery advanced the history of Xi'an Jiandu more than 5,000 years ago.

Regarding the history of capital construction in Xi’an, there was a “dumpling” that once popularized the people of a certain place to show off their cities for a century. After listening to Xi’an, people were very calm and calm and said, “When we were established for a hundred years, the leaders at that time engaged in 'Fire show princes'."

Strictly speaking, there is a lot of hardship in this “dumpster”, because the era of Zhou Youwang’s annihilation of fire princes was nearly 300 years away from the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, capital of Beijing (now southwest of Xi’an). According to Hu Yicheng of Shaanxi Academy of Social Sciences, the history of Xi’an’s capital can be pushed forward for more than two thousand years. Of course, this is not a matter of opening and closing, but there is historical and archeological basis.

The history of Xi'an capital was 5000 years

In order to develop eastward, Zhou Wenwang moved his tribe from the foot of Laoshan Mountain to the “沣” located in the southwest of Xi’an today. After King Wu was ascended to power, he built the “Shu” on the other side of the river. The two cities were built in succession. This officially opened the prelude to more than 3,000 years of capital construction in Xi’an.

“About the history of Xi’an, the capital was generally considered to be more than 3,000 years ago, but a major archaeological discovery in 2008 overturned the traditional understanding.” Hu Yicheng’s major archeological discovery refers to Gaoling County, which is located in the north of Xi’an. Yang Guanzhai site. In 2004, archaeologists in Shaanxi Province carried out archaeological excavations there. After four years of excavation and excavation, a large-scale settlement site dating back more than 5,000 years was gradually unearthed.

This is where Hu Yicheng sees the Yellow Emperor's capital.

According to the records of Huang Di's "Suburban God" in the "Shi Ji Feng Chan", Hu Yicheng concluded that the capital of the Yellow Emperor should be built in Guanzhong. Because the “雍” in the history books is the ancient name of Guanzhong, while the “suburb” refers to the “suburban festival”. It is a kind of sacrificial ceremony held at or near the center of the tribe.

However, due to the Guanzhong area, the city that was consistent with the Yellow Emperor's time has not been found before, making it impossible to confirm the records in historical materials. Until the discovery of the Yang Guanzhai site, Hu Yicheng could finally be assured that the large settlement with urban functions was the capital of the Yellow Emperor era. The history of the capital of Xi'an was pushed over 5,000 years ago.

The "Armor of the Deer" has not been confirmed by archaeology

"In the "Historical Records," it is not recorded that the Yellow Emperor's hustle and bustle in the competition of the deer?" asked the reporter.

“Historical Records has such a record, but the place where the deer (now Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province) was dug for so many years did not find a city site of a similar age and scale.” For Jiandu’s deer, Hu Yicheng believes that there is no support for archaeological excavation. This is exactly what Yang Guanzhai has.

However, in the era of Yang Guanzhai, the Yellow Emperor tribe is in the stage of rising. It has not yet reached the “Princes and Xian Xuan as the emperor”. Therefore, the "capital cities" of this period are just regional centers during the early days of the ancient country and cannot represent the whole of China. With the expansion of the Yellow Emperor tribe, the city sites dug up by Lingpo Xipo and Zhengzhou Xinzheng, because of the later age, are likely to be the capitals that were successively established during the development of the East. This process also confirms the record in the "Historical Records" of the Yellow Emperor's "nowhere to go".

Similarly, as recorded in history books, the Yellow Emperor’s demolition of the capital after the defeat of Chiyou would excavate a larger-scale urban site in the vicinity than Yangzhouzhai, which can only reflect the development process of the Yellow Emperor tribe to the east. It is impossible to deny the history of the Yang Guanzhai capital city. On the contrary, Xi'an, as the capital of the Yellow Emperor Capital, is even more incontrovertible.” Hu Yicheng added that he emphasized the need to determine where the Yellow Emperor Capitals reside. It cannot rely on documentary records alone. Archaeological materials are also indispensable. .

Tao Zou unearthed in Yangguan Zhai, in the eyes of experts, this cultural relic confirms that Yang Guanzhai entered the patrilineal clan society during the Yellow Emperor period, which is consistent with the context of historical development.
