Why does Zaoyang call itself Seoul, China?

As early as 2012, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Seventh Zaoyang Municipal Party Committee proposed that we should make breakthroughs in developing Zaoyang culture and strive to be the first to march in the strategy of "building a city with culture". This time, the opening of the park in Seoul, China has undoubtedly written an important chapter in the establishment of a cultural city.

For more than two thousand years, Zaoyang has been the hometown of ancient emperors, and countless literati and poets have left poems and songs. Zhang Heng, an astronomer and writer of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote in his poem "The dragon flies over the white water, and the pine nuts are in the mountains". Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty left "The white water source has been crossed in the past, and it is temporarily alienated from the common people"; Han Yu wrote "The dragon has flown over the white water." In the spring, I came across relics to the cultivators"; Song Xiang of the Song Dynasty left behind "the old house next to the Chungling Mausoleum, the millet has been separated from the eternal light"; the Jin Dynasty Yuan Haoxiang left behind "white water driving day and night, stone Lin several autumn winds" ; The Ming Dynasty's Wen Pusheng left behind "the relics of dragons flying in the white water, and Ziwei Mountain arching to protect the real wall"; Zhang Wentao of the Qing Dynasty left "the dragon species left in the white water, and the tomb of Emperor Yu"...

However, despite the foundation of poetry and books, Zaoyang's reputation as an imperial town has never been known, as if all ladies were "locked in a boudoir and unknown to anyone." The emergence of Seoul in China has brought the ancient city in history and fragments of history from books and underground into real life, announcing the name of Zaoyang as the imperial hometown in a dazzling way.

The influence of Chinese language, Chinese characters, Han nationality, and Chinese culture has been rooted in the blood and genes of the descendants of Yan and Huang for thousands of years. Although the twists and turns of history have caused many losses and shortcomings, as China With the recovery and awakening of the cultural economy, people are tracing the atmosphere of the powerful Han and reshaping the national spirit through Hanfu, Han Dynasty etiquette, Han Dynasty film and television works and other methods. In this process, China's Seoul and the imperial hometown of Zaoyang will play an important role, shouldering the important task of carrying forward the culture of the Han Dynasty and building the core of the national spirit. Zaoyang and Hancheng are no longer simple place names and buildings, but will become a cultural symbol and a spiritual symbol.
