Shaanxi Baoji has Chencang and Fufeng . As a Baoji person, the author feels that Chencang or Fufeng have more historical heritage. Chencang in the Han Dynasty period may be equivalent to the urban area of Baoji. Youfufeng in the Han Dynasty was roughly a part of the western part of Guanzhong and Loess Plateau . Such a place name with a sense of history may better summarize the history and geography of Baoji. .
Fufeng County is located at the eastern end of Baoji City, an important town in the western part of the Guanzhong Plain. It is the birthplace of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. Geographically, it is geographically connected with Yongshou County , Qian County , Wugong County , Yangling District , Zhouzhi , Mei County , Qishan County and Linyou County are located next to each other and are the de facto east gate of Baoji.
The word "Fufeng" comes from the connotation of ancient sages "supporting the capital and promoting good morals". It can be used to mean supporting relatives and correcting morals. It expresses the financial, material and social resources of the ancestors and people at that time. Provide real support and help to your relatives in all aspects, and take practical actions to change bad social customs, ethics, morality, and outdated customs or ideas that constrain people's spiritual world.
The culture of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the pre-Qin civilization originated in Fufeng and its surrounding areas. The Zhou rites formed are their typical representatives, which had a profound impact on the politics, economy, culture, education, etiquette, etc. of that time and later generations, so they are called It is called the "Hometown of Zhou Rites".
In addition, many other precious cultural relics have been unearthed in Fufeng, especially bronzes. For example, the Mao Gong Ding, Dake Ding, and Da Yu Ding unearthed at the Zhouyuan site are praised as the " Three Treasures in the Sea. " is the well-deserved country's most important tool . It not only reflects the exquisite bronze smelting technology and complex vessel pouring techniques of the craftsmen of that era, but also provides indelible evidence for later generations to study civilizations thousands of years ago with the inscriptions left on it. Therefore, it is named "Hometown of Bronze Ware".
Standing on this land to reflect on the present and reflect on the past, you can deeply appreciate the continuation of Zhou culture , Han and Tang culture, Five Dynasties , Song and Yuan Dynasties and other cultural and historical bloodlines from the passage of time. It is famous for its long history and outstanding people. Breathtaking.
Fufeng County spans two major plates, the Weibei Plateau and the Guanzhong Plain, and runs north-south as a whole; from the topography, it is higher in the north and lower in the south. The northern part has higher terrain and low groundwater levels, making it difficult to exploit. At the same time, the surface water content is small and evaporates quickly, so it has an arid landscape, so agricultural irrigation is relatively difficult; the southern part is a plain area, with low and flat terrain and is close to the river bed, and With the Weihe River flowing through, the surface and underground water are abundant, which is very beneficial to agricultural production and population reproduction. It has long become a fixed farming civilization area.
Fufeng raised the famous historians Ban Biao , Ban Gu and Ban Chao father and brothers, descendants of the famous generals of Zhao during the Warring States period Zhao She General Fu Bo and Xinxihou Ma Yuan , the Geng family princes who assisted Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu in establishing the Eastern Han Dynasty Geng Yan , the Geng family of generals represented by Anfeng Hou Dou Rong and General Dou Tao, known in history as the "Four Geng Dou" Prominent families have written glory and legends in different periods of history.
Looking back at history and the land of Fufeng always makes people linger and have endless thoughts. It has been many years since I left my hometown. If I have the opportunity to come to Fufeng again, I will definitely stay close to the pulse of its history, explore the magical creation of its geography and landforms, and feel the beauty of its customs and customs. Perhaps the western part of Guanzhong is called Fufeng, which has more historical heritage!
