Which tourist city in China is called Yecheng?

There is such a place that has experienced three thousand years of ups and downs. No matter the fierce fighting in Conan the Destroyer or the storm, it failed to make the city lose its original cultural brilliance. As an ancient historical capital, this place was once brilliant, but with the development of modern social economy, this city is gradually forgotten by people, and as a place to collect and sort out folk culture, this place is lucky. It is the witness of the development history of idioms, and this place is Handan.

Speaking of Handan, many people's first impression is that they heard the story of Handan's toddler when they were young. During the Warring States Period, a man from Yan State visited Handan, the capital of Zhao State. When he saw the graceful walking posture of the people there, he wanted to imitate them and learn from them. As a result, I not only failed to learn the elegant walking posture of Handan people, but also forgot my original walking posture. I couldn't walk, so I had to climb back. Adults often use this sentence to teach us not to mechanically copy other people's things, otherwise we will not only learn other people's strengths, but forget our original skills.

Handan, known as the capital of idioms, has a historical background. Before Sui Dynasty, Handan was one of the five capitals in summer. The modern generation of China idioms is mainly from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Sui Dynasty, and now 80% of the idioms circulating in China are produced in that period. Handan, also known as Yecheng, where the ancient Yellow River and Zhanghe River meet. Since Dayu's flood control, the Yellow River has been diverted, and the vast North China Plain has become the best gathering place for China ancestors during the agricultural society. The fertile plain has turned it into the economic and cultural exchange center of the North China Plain, where the economy and culture are very prosperous and it is a battleground for ancient strategists.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao, Han and Wei divided Jin equally, and Zhao chose Handan as the capital. Since then, Handan has become a witness to the centuries-old history of the North China Plain. After Qin unified the six countries, Handan was also set as a county, and Handan was also one of the five major capitals of the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao built Yecheng until the Sui Dynasty opened the Grand Canal. The discovery of Youzhou made Handan lose its position as the center of North China.

Due to the geographical advantages of Handan, idioms, as the crystallization of folk spoken language, also thrive on this fertile soil. The development history of idioms is closely related to the development of economy and culture. After Sui and Tang Dynasties, the productive forces continued to develop, the cultural quality of the people gradually improved, and the quality of folk culture was condensed from vulgar language into diverse cultural forms, such as Tang poetry, Song ci, Yuanqu and so on. These spoken languages are widely circulated among the people, and the idioms we are familiar with now are the products of centralized processing in Handan, which was then the economic and cultural center of the whole northern region, and the prosperity of the city was amazing.

Because the Yellow River flows through Handan before its diversion, Handan is also mysterious, and the legendary Nuwa culture has also left clues here. There is a Nuwa Palace in Handan, which is one of the five sacred places for ancestor worship in China. It is one of the largest and most influential places to worship Nu Wa in China, and is known as "Huaxia Ancestral Temple" with a history of 1400 years.

Handan, as the capital of many dynasties, shines brilliantly in history. With the development of modern times, the popularity of Handan has gradually declined, and the development center of the country tends to coastal cities. Handan, as the epitome of all inland cities, has been neglected by the state. Handan, like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes, exists peacefully in the world.
