Luoyang and Xi 'an were both ancient capitals of 13 dynasty. Why is Luoyang less influential than Xi 'an?

Because the dynasty whose capital was Luoyang was not as influential as the dynasty whose capital was Xi 'an. There has been great controversy about the influence of these two cities. After all, these two are very famous ancient capitals, and they are both ancient capitals of 13 countries. So there will naturally be some comparisons in influence, and the final result is that Xi 'an's influence is greater than Luoyang's. Today we will analyze the reasons.

First of all, the dynasty in which Xi 'an once established its capital was more influential than the dynasty in which Luoyang established its capital. Although both cities were ancient capitals of 13 dynasties in number, the dynasties in Xi 'an were generally more influential than those in Luoyang. For example, the influence of Xi 'an, the capital of Jiao Jian in the Western Zhou and Western Han Dynasties, was greater than that of Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Zhou and Eastern Han Dynasties. Moreover, Xi 'an, as the ancient capital of Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, has far-reaching influence.

Second: the influence of geographical factors. Xi 'an is a region with strong military defense, because Chang 'an has mountains and rivers as defense, so it can solve some temporary war funds very favorably. At the same time, it can also ensure that the war will not break out prematurely. But Luoyang is different, because Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, so all kinds of transportation are very convenient. Although there are basins such as the Yellow River, it is not a narrow victory. So generally speaking, the dynasties that chose Luoyang as the capital were more comfortable, while the dynasties that chose Xi 'an as the capital knew how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, so Xi 'an had more advantages than Luoyang in this respect.

No matter how influential the two ancient capitals are, they are all cities with excellent traditional culture. These two cities have nurtured thousands of years of culture, so they have left us a lot of valuable knowledge and civilization. Therefore, we should treat these two cities with respect and appreciation.
