During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC, 404 BC), the number of vassal states in the Zhou Dynasty was greatly reduced after a protracted war for hegemony. After the three countries were divided into Jin, Korea, Zhao and Wei became powerful countries, and the pattern of seven heroes in the Warring States period was formally formed. These seven countries are: Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, Qin and Qi. For the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, most of them have moved their capitals due to war and other reasons. For the last capital of the Warring States Seven Heroes, after more than two thousand years of historical changes, who is the most prosperous now?

First of all, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the capital of Qin experienced the changes of Yongcheng, Liyang, Xianyang and other cities. As far as Xianyang is concerned, it eventually became the capital of Qin State and even Qin Dynasty. Xianyang is an important birthplace of Qin and Han culture. The capital of Qin Shihuang is Xianyang, which makes it "the first imperial capital of China". Today, as of 20 15, Xianyang, as a prefecture-level city in Shaanxi Province, has a population of more than 5 million and a total GDP of more than 200 billion. During the Warring States Period, the capital of southern China destroyed Zheng and moved to Xinzheng (now Zhengzhou, Henan). Today, Zhengzhou has become the capital of Henan Province. As the economic, political and transportation center of Henan Province, Zhengzhou will have a population of over 9 million and a total GDP of over 700 billion by 20 15.

Secondly, as far as the other two countries in Sanjin are concerned, Handan, the capital of Zhao, has not been renamed in China for 3,000 years. In 386 BC, Zhao Houjing moved the capital to Handan (now Handan City, Hebei Province) and established Handan as its capital for a century and a half. As a city under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province, Handan is located at the southernmost tip of Hebei Province. By the end of 20 15, Handan had a population of more than 9 million and a total GDP of more than 300 billion. At the same time, as far as Wei was concerned, in 36 1 year BC (339 BC), Wei Huiwang moved the capital from Anyi (Weixian) to Daliang (now Kaifeng, Henan). Kaifeng, Henan Province was once the capital of Henan Province, and later the capital moved to Zhengzhou. By the end of 20 15, the population of Kaifeng exceeded 5 million, and the total GDP was about16 billion.

Moreover, on the historical stage of the Warring States, Chu and Qi were both powerful countries. Chu has experienced many capitals such as Danyang, Yong (Jingzhou), Tan, Yan, Chen, Shouchun and so on. Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Huainan City, Anhui Province) is the last capital of Chu. In order to correspond to the above cities, as far as Huainan City is concerned, by 20 15, the population will be more than 3 million and the total GDP will be more than 70 billion. As for Qi, a big country, Linzi has always been its capital during the Warring States Period. Today, Linzi has become a municipal district of Zibo. To cope with the above, as far as Zibo is concerned, the population will exceed 4 million in 20 15, and the GDP will reach more than 400 billion.

Finally, in the historical stage of the Warring States period, Yan was not only weak, but also had a very low sense of existence. However, for the capital of Yan, it is now the most prosperous city. During the Yan Zhaowang period, the capital of Yan State formed a "three capitals" system, namely Ji Cheng, Zhongdu (now west of Doudian, Fangshan District, Beijing) and Wuyang City as the lower capital. As far as thrips are concerned, it mainly corresponds to Beijing today. At the end of 20 15, the permanent population of Beijing was 217.05 million, and the total GDP exceeded 2 trillion, which was more than the total GDP of the above six cities, and it was undoubtedly the most prosperous one.
