In the late Spring and Autumn Period, in the fifteenth year of Duke Ding of Jin (497 years ago), the illustrious Jinyang Ancient City came into being on the banks of the Fen River, which has a history of 2,486 years so far. At the beginning of the Warring States period, the ancient city of Jinyang was the capital of the state of Zhao. After the unification of China by Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the world was divided into 36 counties, and Taiyuan County was set up on this ancient land, with Jinyang as the county seat. Since then, Jinyang has been called Taiyuan. The Han Dynasty and the state of the assassination of the Department set up in Jinyang, which is also the beginning of Taiyuan called and the state of Taiyuan, Taiyuan abbreviation and also comes from this. At that time, Taiyuan has become one of the country's thirteen ministries of governance, known far and wide.
Emperor Gao Huan of the Northern Qi Dynasty made Taiyuan his capital!
In 617 A.D., in the 13th year of Emperor Yang's Daiye reign, Tang Emperor Li Yuan and Qin King Li Shimin rose up in Taiyuan and eventually settled the world, establishing the Tang dynasty, which had been prominent for hundreds of years!
In 979 A.D., Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty pacified the last of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Northern Han Dynasty, and conquered the capital city of Taiyuan, which has always been the place where the true dragon emerges from, and in order to prevent Taiyuan from becoming an emperor again, he burned down the old Taiyuan City. A few years later, on the west bank of the Fen River, the new Taiyuan City was rebuilt! In the planning of the new Taiyuan City, more than the "D" intersection design, meaning that the true dragon of Taiyuan nailed the gas!
History of Taiyuan
The city of Taiyuan, historically, has stood for resilience and indomitability. As the northern border town, relying on Taiyuan, can be king of the struggle for supremacy, and the Song Dynasty, "nail broken and state drainage also died.
The years, so that Taiyuan City has changed its face, with the function of home and garden protection of the old city has withdrawn from the stage of history, instead of a modern high-rise and a wide street.

History of TaiyuanTaiyuan has a long history and is one of the earliest birthplaces of Chinese civilization. The history of Taiyuan before Jinyang City is more than 2000 years old. The author writes this article in the hope that a section of the ancient period of Taiyuan's history will be forgotten by the public, so as to entertain the townspeople and comfort the spirits of the ancestors in heaven. About 2554 B.C. or 2538 B.C. to 2453 B.C., Shao Hao Jin Tian's reign. During the reign of Jin Tian, his grandson, Taimyr, was granted the right to live in Taiyuan. According to "Zuo Zhuan - Zhaogong Yuan Nian": The Marquis of Jin had a disease, and Zheng Bo made Gongsun Qiao hire Jin and ask about the disease. Shuxiang asked Yan, said: "widowed ruler of the disease, the diviner said: 'real sinking, Taimyr for sneak,' Shi Mo Zhi Zhi know, I dare to ask this what God also?" Zi Chan said: "...... the former Jin Tian Clan has a descendant of the son, said the name of the Ming, for the XuanMei teacher, born YunGe, Taimyr. Taimyr can industry its official, declared Fen, Tao, barricade big Ze, in order to place Taiyuan. The emperor used the commendation, sealing the Fenchuan. Shen, Si, Mat, Huang, actually keep their sacrifices. Now the Jin master Fen and extinguished. From this point of view, the Taimyr, Fen God is also ...... "By: Jintian's, that is, Shao Hao. The Commercial Press, 1988 edition of "Dictionary": "Shao Hao, the legend of the ancient tribal leader's name, the name of the best, the word Qing Yang, the son of the Yellow Emperor, the family name of Ji. In order to be different from too, so it is called Shao Hao, to the King of the Golden Virtue, so it is also known as Jintian's. The name of the ancient tribal leader is Shao Hao. He was also known as the Jin Tian Clan. His name was Poor Sang, and his capital was Qufu, and he was called Poor Sang Emperor. In the Spring and Autumn period Tan claimed himself as a descendant of Shao Hao." According to Huang Fu Qui's "The Century of Emperors and Kings" of the Jin Dynasty, Su Zhe's "Ancient History" of the Song Dynasty, and Ma's "Deduction of History" of the Qing Dynasty, Shao Hao was the successor of the Yellow Emperor. According to Huang Fu Qui's "Century of Emperors and Kings", Shao Hao "reigned for a hundred years and then collapsed", while the "Outer Records" says "he reigned for 84 years and lived for a hundred years". Shao Hao was succeeded by Zhuan Xu Gao Yang, the son of Huang Di's son Chang Yi. Huang Fu Qui's "Century of Emperors and Kings" states that Zhuan Xu Gao Yang's reign lasted 78 years and he was 98 years old. Zuo Zhuan - Zhaogong yuan year" in the "Taiyuan", that is, Taiyuan. The Justice of the Spring and Autumn Annals of Zuo Zhuan, Volume 41, under the words "to be in Taiyuan", the note says: "Taiyuan, Jinyang, Taimyr's residence." Also, the above quote "Zuo Zhuan - Zhaogong yuan year" in the "emperor", another person thinks, refers to emperor Zhuan Xu, is the emperor Zhuan Xu sealed Shao Hao's grandson in Taiyuan. The year of Zhuan's reign, shear Bozhan "Chinese and foreign history chronology" recorded as 2450 BC to 2373 BC. The reign of Emperor ?aú Gaoxin was from about 2376 BC to 2307 BC. According to the Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian) and other books, Emperor Gaoxin was the great-grandson of Emperor Huangdi. He was the grandson of Xuanxiang, the son of the Yellow Emperor. The Commercial Press 1988 edition of Dictionary: "帝喾, ancient tribal leader, rumored to be the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the father of Yao, resided in Bo (present-day Yanshi County, Henan Province) and was known as the Gaoxin Clan. In the divination of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor ?ànhàn was regarded as the high ancestor, cf. The Records of the Five Emperors in the Historical Records of the Shang Dynasty." During his reign, the Gaoxin Clan respectively granted his sons Shishen and Xionbo the titles of Taiyuan and Shangqiu in present-day Henan Province. According to "Zuo Zhuan - Zhaogong yuan year": Jin Hou had a disease, Zheng Bo made Gongsun Qiao such as Jin to hire, and asked about the disease. Shuxiang asked Yan, said: "the disease of the oligarch, the diviner said: 'real sinking, Taimyr for sneaky.' Shi Mo Zhi know, I dare to ask this what God also?" Zi Chan said: "In the past, the Gaoxin clan had two sons, the eldest was Xionbo, the second was Shishen, living in the open forest, do not share the same ability. The day to find the dry spear, in order to fight each other. After the emperor is not Zang, move the Xiongnu in Shangqiu, the main Chen, businessmen is because, so Chen for the commercial star. Move the solid Shen in Daxia, the main Sen, Tang is because, to serve Xia, Shang. His second generation was named Tang Shuyu. When King Wu Yi Jiang Fang Zhen uncle, dream emperor said himself: 'Yu life and son said Yu, will be with the Tang, belonging to the Sen, and tomato its descendants.' And birth, there is a text in his hand said Yu, so to order. And King Cheng destroyed the Tang and sealed Uncle Yu, so Sen for the star of Jin. From this point of view, the real sinking, Sen God also ...... "According to" Bamboo Book Chronicles "had cloud:" forty-five years of the emperor tin Tang Hou life." According to the Tang Hou, some people today think that refers to the real sink, real sink, some people think that is known today as emperor Yao. Whether Emperor Yao was appointed by his father or by his brother, Di Zhi (see below), is a matter of historical debate. During the reign of Emperor Zi from about 2306 BC to 2298 BC, Emperor Yao was the son of Emperor Gaoxin. Di Zhi was the eldest son of the Gaoxin Clan of Emperor ?àcú, and the elder brother of Yao. Historical accounts of Di Zhi's fate are quite different. According to Huang Fu Qui's The Century of Emperors and Kings, Emperor Zi's mother was the next in line among the four and Zi was the eldest of the brothers, so she was able to ascend to the throne. The different mother of the emperor put Xun as Tang Hou. During the nine years of his reign, the government was weak, but the Marquis of Tang had great virtue, and all the lords returned to him. Zi was convinced of his righteousness, and he led his ministers to build Tang to give Zen, and Marquis Tang, realizing that he had a heavenly destiny, accepted the emperor's Zen and sealed Zi's name in Gaoxin. Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian" recorded: "Emperor ?àcheng collapsed, and Zi Zhi was established in his place. Emperor Zi Zhi was established, not good, and Emperor Fangxun was established as Emperor Yao." The Qing Dynasty's Ma "Dedication of History," Volume 8, "Gao Xin Ji," quoted in the "Compendium of the Present" as saying, "The emperor was so despicable that the feudal lords abolished him and honored Yao as the son of heaven." Ma Ma Su also added the following comment: "According to Emperor Zhi Zhi, he was either collapsed, channed, or abrogated, and all of them were said to be different." Regarding Tang Yao, the Qing dynasty's Ma (馬) "Yishu" (驿史), Volume 9 ("陶唐纪") cites Huang Fu Qui (皇甫谧)'s "Century of the Emperors" (帝王世纪), which states that Yao was: "fifteen years old when I was serving Emperor Zhi, and he was appointed as a feudal lord in Tang. About 2297 B.C.E. About 2297 B.C.E., Yao established his capital in the area of present-day Taiyuan (according to the Chronology of Chinese and Foreign History, edited by Shear Bozan), and later moved the capital to Pingyang. During his reign, he ordered Xihe to observe the sky and formulate the calendar, with 366 days as one year, and set the leap month at four times. When Yao was overcrowded with floods, Jiu Ji was ordered to treat the floods, but Jiu Ji was not able to do so, and Shun was lifted up by four yue. Jiu Ji replied, "Father is son, father is son." Jiu Ji is son. The four crimes were fixed and the world was served. According to Zheng Xuan (127-200 AD), "Mao Poetry Spectrum - Tang Spectrum" said, "Tang is the old capital of Emperor Yao, today Taiyuan Jinyang is the capital. Yao first lived here, but later moved to Pingyang, east of the river." And: According to this, the Justice of the Maosi commented that the Tang Style in the Book of Songs "has the wind of Yao's legacy" and said: "Yao is the capital of the country. Han Shu - Geography Zhi" cloud: Taiyuan Jinyang County, so the "Poetry" Tang country, Jin water out of the east into the Fen, is the Han for the Taiyuan Jinyang also. Shi Ji - Jin Shijia" cloud: Tang in the River Fen east, square hundred miles. Yao lived here as a vassal, so it is said: "Yao began to live here". Geography - Hedong County Pingyang County" should be Shao Yun: "Yao all also", then Yao for the son of heaven, is the capital of Pingyang, so the cloud after the move to Hedong Pingyang also. ...... King Chenggong sealed his mother's brother Shuyu in Yao's former ruins, said Tang Hou, south of Jinshui, to Xie changed to Jin Hou. Another: Western Jin Dynasty Huang Fu Quiet (214-282) "Emperor Century" said: "Yao began to seal in Tang, now Zhongshan Tang County is also, Yao Mountain is also ...... Yao's capital after.
