During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin moved its capital several times, and the last time was Xianyang.

(1) Yong (now Fengxiang) → Jingyang (now northwest of Jingyang, Shaanxi)

Time: 4 19 years ago

Reasons for moving the capital: 1) Get rid of the shackles of the old aristocratic forces;

2) expand eastward

(2) Jingyang → Liyang (now southeast of Fuping, Shaanxi)

Time: 383 years ago

Reasons for moving the capital: Liyang's "north is Rongdi and east is Sanjin" can directly deal with Wei.

(3) Liyang → Xianyang (now northeast of Xianyang, Shaanxi)

Time: the first 350 years

Reasons for moving the capital: Xianyang City is near the Weihe River, with a flat terrain, which is beneficial to the central command of the King of Qin.
