Taiyuan City, the ancient name of "Dragon City", why it has this name, I think it is probably related to the Tang Dynasty, when it was the fiefdom of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, and also the place of his Dragon Rise.
Taiyuan has a long history, and was known as "Bingzhou" in ancient times. Not far from the city is the scenic Jin Temple, which can be said to be one of the city's calling cards, with which Taiyuan has risen and fallen.
At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, there was a story about a leaf sealing the country, which is related to Taiyuan. The story is that during the Zhou Dynasty, King Cheng was still young, and was assisted by the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao. Once, King Cheng was playing a game with his younger brother Yu, and he budded a piece of soil with a tung leaf and gave it to his younger brother Yu, saying that this is your fiefdom.
At this point, the problem came when Duke Zhou saw it from the sidelines and said to King Cheng, "A gentleman does not play games!" And so it came to pass that his younger brother, Shu Yu, was to be enclosed in the state of Tang, the seat of which, now Taiyuan, is the capital. Shufu Yu succeeded his father and changed the name of his state to Jin because of its proximity to the waters of Jin. This is also the origin of the abbreviation Jin for Shanxi Province.
Inside the Jin Ancestral Temple, there is a verdant cypress tree, with a history of nearly 3,000 years, according to legend, it is said to be planted by the Duke of Zhou, the cypress tree is also known as the Cypress of Zhou.
The city of Taiyuan is also the place where I went to college, so I was impressed by its changes.
During our college years, is the early nineties, Jinci still belongs to the outskirts of Taiyuan City, and now the location of the Jinci has been opened for the Jinci Park, belonging to the Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Jinci Town.
I was in college, Taiyuan City gave me the biggest and deepest impression, regardless of the day or night, the wind and dust rolling, occasionally out of the house does not matter, if it is those who commute, can be bitter! Why? The wind and sand are so strong that even if a man puts on protective glasses or a woman puts on a veil, it doesn't work, and she has to put on a scarf or something. Even so, go home and wash your face, will be able to wash out a basin of black water, why? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you'll be able to do that!
However, this is no longer the case, and Taiyuan has become a more livable city since the late 1990s, when the city increased its efforts to improve and protect the environment.
I've been working since, although I occasionally go back to Taiyuan to see, but, in my heart, once I heard about it, there is a kind of inexplicable surge. Because there, there is my first love that little thing; also have my metamorphosis and growth of the trouble and the price; and even, there are some so far, and even to the old is difficult to tell the story and the human condition.
It can be said that, with the school in Taiyuan, there are the ups and downs of my life.
At that time, even though the environment of Taiyuan city, college students facing graduation allocation, most people still choose to stay. And I chose to escape, originally thought, the farther the better, but fate, and I played a small joke, more than a decade later, I like a kite trying to fly higher and farther, and ultimately, or be retrieved.
I was originally assigned to the work unit, is a steel enterprise, I think the work of the state-owned enterprises is too tormented, then, went to Guangdong, Dongguan, foreign enterprises to fight for many years.
Originally, if it is a peaceful person, even in the original state-owned enterprises, can do something famous, but for an innate, don't know what is the peace of mind for me, do not toss a few, is not called life!
But, tossing and tossing, I'm a kite that will soon break the line, was Taiyuan City, recovered to the nearest place ------ Yuji District, Jinzhong City.
There, witnessed the changes in Taiyuan City in the last ten years, the biggest feeling, Taiyuan City is not only expanding many times, but also the environment has become more and more beautiful, especially in the last few years, under the leadership of a remarkable local leaders, Taiyuan City ushered in a sea change.
First, there are the changes in transportation, as Taiyuan has ushered in the era of high-speed rail and a subway.
With this, the real estate market, but also suddenly climbed high, although the original is as a seemingly third-tier is not as good as a fourth-tier city, but due to the development of recent years, jumped into the ranks of second-tier cities.
The biggest change in Taiyuan, however, has been in education, especially the construction of a university town in Xiaodian District.
Taiyuan University City in North China's major town of Taiyuan has a bearing on the East and the West, the East and the West into the geographic location advantages, in front of the opportunity of the western development, the establishment of Taiyuan University City, is conducive to the gradient transfer of industrial and educational resources in the process of seizing the first opportunity to take the initiative to support and participate in the "western development", to carry out with the eastern regions A full range of exchanges and cooperation with the eastern region, to accept the radiation and drive the more developed regions in the east, so that Taiyuan as soon as possible to develop and grow up.
From the point of view of the development of Taiyuan City in recent years, Taiyuan University City has really played a role in the original positioning of the heavy responsibility given to it, at least we know that the nearest Jinzhong Yuji District, benefited greatly! The most significant changes, or performance in the real estate market, from three or four thousand a square meter in 2014, rose to nearly 10,000 a square meter! Close to the price of Taiyuan City, so there has been a rumor that "Jinzhong City is about to merge into Taiyuan City to become Yuji District!"
When all is said and done, Jinzhong City and Taiyuan City have not merged, they both just bend together like willows in the spring, and dance a big square dance in this big change of our city in China!
Admittedly, over the years, the city of Taiyuan has also greatly improved the appearance of the city, this can not be compared with the Taiyuan during the time we went to college, if we use such a look, take the current Taiyuan City and the early nineties than Taiyuan, it is a world of difference!
We'd better move forward, look forward, naturally, the city of Taiyuan has its historical position, now and in the future, also deserve to have the status of the economic capital of North China, Taiyuan will become more beautiful and better looking!
