Why is Xingyang called "the eastern capital belt, the throat of Sanqin"

Xingyang has a long history and splendid culture. It has been more than 2200 years since the county was founded in 202 BC to 1994, when the county was withdrawn and the city was established. Shen Buhai, a legalist in the Warring States Period, Zheng Qian, a scholar with excellent poetry and calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shangyin, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, were all from Xingyang. Liu Yuxi, a famous politician and poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, was buried on Tanshan Mountain in Yulong Town, Xingyang after his death. In the Song Dynasty, Wang Bowen and his son were officials in the three dynasties, and they were called "the secret history of the three dynasties, with nine sons and ten sons". It can be said that "Jiangshan has talented people, leading all the way for hundreds of years." Xingyang is the ancestral home of Zheng, a famous family in China. During the Tang Dynasty, there were 65,438+065,438+0 Xingyang people who served as prime ministers in the DPRK, and 654,380,200 descendants of Zheng were all over the world. There are many places of interest, including 24 national and provincial cultural relics protection units, such as Guandi Temple site in the late Shang Dynasty, Weaving Cave ancient human site, Gu Xia City Master site, Qingtai Yangshao cultural site and Niangniangzhai Zhoucheng site, which were rated as the top ten archaeological discoveries in China in 2007. Xingyang has some famous historical sites, such as the Gorge, the King City of Hanba and Hulao Pass. Xingyang is known as the "hometown of chess", and the prototype gap of "Chuhe Han Jie" on the chessboard is on Guangwu Mountain in the north of Xingyang. This is the "Hometown of Poetry in China", where poets Li Shangyin and Liu Yuxi sent poems, and two cultural theme parks, Li Shangyin Park and Yuxiyuan Park, were established respectively. There are Jingxiangcheng Site, the ancient capital of Zheng State, and Jingxiangcheng Site Ecological Park. Xingyang also has beautiful mountains and rivers and many historical sites. There are more than 200 cultural and natural landscapes in China. Huancuiyu Scenic Spot and Taohuayu Scenic Spot are national 3A-level scenic spots, and provincial-level scenic spots are Huancuiyu, covering an area of 24 square kilometers, which integrates mountains, forests, water, rocks, caves, castles and rare plants, with quiet environment and beautiful scenery, and are known as "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world and Huancui Scenic Spot is the first in China". The geographical location of Xingyang is very important. Xingyang has always been a battleground for military strategists because of its "peaks in the south, Mangling in the north, Jingxiangcheng in the east and Hulao Pass in the west", so ancient battlefield sites are all over the city, the most famous of which are the gap between the Chu River and the Han Dynasty, and the two great kings of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. Xingyang is rich in cultural heritage, including the Yangshao Cultural Site in Qingtai, the site of the capital city of Zheng State, the tomb of Liu Yuxi, the Longfei Peak and Torinji, one of the "Tiansanlin" (Shaolin Temple, Bamboo Forest and Torinji).
