Chang'an: Perbedaan antara revisi

The city site of Han was located 5 km away from Xi'an in the northwest. As the capital of the [[Western Han Dynasty]], it was the centre of China's politics, economy and culture, the start of the [[Silk Road]] and an international metropolis which was comparable with the city of [[Rome]] at that time.

The construction of the city can be divided into 3 periods over more than 90 years. The Emperor Gao of Han [[Liu Bang]] decided to build the palaces before the city walls. In [[202 BC]], he repaired the Xingle Palace (兴乐宫) of the [[Qin Dynasty]] and renamed it to [[Changle Palace]] (长乐宫). Two years later, a new palace called [[Weiyang]] (未央宫) was constructed. In [[195 BC]], his son, [[Emperor Hui of Han China|Emperor Hui of Han]] begun the construction of the walls of Chang'an and finished them in September of [[191 BC]]. Emperor Hui, [[Emperor Wu of Han China|Emperor Wu of Han]] then built several palaces in the city. At that time, [[Zhang Qian]] went to the west as a diplomat of the Empire of Han. Chang'an city became a ''bridge'' between [[Asia]] and [[Europe]] as the eastern start of the famous [[Silk Road]]. In [[2 AD]], more than 240,000 people lived in Chang'an. After the Western Han, the Eastern Han government made [[Luoyang]] the capital and renamed Chang'an to Xijing (western capital) (China had, for cosmological reasons, always four "capitals"). After the Eastern Han, many dynasties regarded Chang'an city as the capital. In [[582]], emperor of the Sui Dyansty selected a place in the southeast of it to build a new capital which he called Daxing city (renamed as Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty). The Chang'an city of Han was abandoned.
