1. The earliest ancestors of the Chinese nation, "Three Emperors and Five Emperors", Yao, Shun and Yu also thrived in this hot land. The discovery of the site near Shitao in Pingyang (now Linfen) strongly proves the existence of the ancient Yao emperor and the historical authenticity of Pingyang. The following "Shundu Puban" and "Anyi" belong to the history of this rich southern Shaanxi basin: the hometown of Yao, Shun and Yu was here! Ancient ballads similar to Nanfeng Song still seem to exist today. The first dynasty in the history of China-Xia-is the usual past here (Xia County). "A scholar dies as a bosom friend, and a woman looks after herself" is the spirit of Yu Rang, one of the "The Four Assassins" here.
2. The old story of "the lips die and the teeth are cold" has been circulated for thousands of years, and the ancient road still exists. Idiom allusions, such as Bole Xiangma, Three Tapirs Crossing the River, Good Qin and Jin Dynasties, and White Tapirs in Liaodong, have witnessed the richness and beauty of Chinese culture. When the King of Wu attacked Zhou, Uncle Boyi "knocked on the horse to remonstrate", and finally left a historical story for shouyangshan here: "A few skinny bones support the world, and two hungry skins cover the ancient and modern times". Jie Zhitui's idea of "sharing shares to serve the king" and Jin Wengong's idea of "taking the first step" have interpreted the important traditional festival "Tomb-Sweeping Day" in China and decorated the beauty of Mianshan in Jiexiu today. Zhou Chengwang's "East Ye Feng Land" is the cultural pillar of Jinci, which is a famous tourist attraction in Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province.
3. Datong (the combination of the initials "Judas" and "Tongren" in the Book of Changes), the city with the most cultural connotation, the most auspicious and the best expression of human desire for peace and governance, is a well-deserved ancient and modern town. Yungang Grottoes, one of the three largest grottoes in China, the Hanging Temple, one of the five sacred mountains, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, Yang Jiajiang's bloody golden beach, earth forest and the largest "Nine Dragons Wall" in China are the world highlights of Datong, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The most magnificent existing ancient city wall in China, the "encirclement of Deng Bai" where Liu Bangbao defended his country and the Xiongnu fought to the death, the birth of China's puppet, the story of four beautiful women, the story of Dixin and Wang Zhaojun, etc., are all shocking past events in the ancient capital of Datong.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin, which was repeatedly dominated by people as "the State of Jin is the world under Mo Qiang", was once brilliant in this land, leaving Shanxi with the abbreviations of "Jin" and "Sanjin" that are still in use today.
