The history of Yangping town

The former site is in Dongwangbao Village, about 2 miles southeast of the town. In the second year of Qin Ninggong (7 14), he moved eastward from Chencang, all in Pingyang City, which is here. In the first year of Qin Degong (677 BC), the capital was moved to Yong, and Qin built the capital in Yong for 37 years, and commercial and handicraft workshops gradually emerged. Qin Mugong built a Pingyang Palace (now abandoned) for Princess Pingyang. In the Tang Dynasty, a street 2 miles long from east to west was built in the south of Pingyang Palace (now Dongwangbao-Jixian Village). There are more than 65,438+00 houses in the north and south, including burning houses, dyeing houses, wood shops, pharmacies, grocery stores, blacksmiths, rope shops, tailor shops, inns and restaurants. There is an open-air square on East Street. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, one-day parties were second only to Guo Zhen. In the second year of Xuantong in Qing Dynasty (19 10), from August 4 to 10, there were continuous rainstorms, and the Weihe River overflowed the streets, destroying 478 houses and streets, leaving only one third of the township, and the market began to decline. In the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935), after the Yangping Railway Station of Longhai Railway was located in Jinyaodi Village, the old city gradually declined, and the market trade moved westward with the railway station, and hotels, restaurants and food stalls were set up one after another.
