3. The Liao and Jin Dynasties took Datong as Xijing, and the other accompanying capitals of these two dynasties changed greatly, while Datong's Xijing status was as stable as a rock, with a calendar of 1, 9 1 year, and was not a prince.

No wonder Datong is old. It has always been said that the land of Datong has a royal spirit.
