In this ancient civilization, there are many ancient cultural cities, one of which is one of the four ancient cities in China and one of the cradles of Chinese civilization, which witnessed the rise and fall of China for 5,000 years. If I had to choose a city to represent China for five thousand years, I would definitely choose it. It is Luoyang. Next, let's take a look at Luoyang, a famous ancient cultural city.

First of all, let's learn about the basic situation of Luoyang.

Luoyang has a history of civilization of more than 5,000 years. In addition, it has a city history of more than 4000 years. In ancient times, Luoyang was the central hinterland of China, representing the highest level of economy, politics and culture in China.

Politically, there were 105 emperors who established their capital here in ancient times, and the name of "Millennium Imperial Capital" deserved its name. Economically, Luoyang is the center of the first mainland public network, the hub of the Grand Canal and the starting point of the Silk Road.

And we all know that peony is the national flower of China, and this "real national color" is actually famous in the world because of Luoyang, so Luoyang is also called "Peony Flower City". In a word, Luoyang represents the oldest, truest and most extensive side of China.

Next, talk about the historical background and cultural value of Luoyang.
