Development history

Zhaiquan is the birthplace of urban culture in China

. It played an important role in the development of urban culture in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty. Zhai Quan was originally a cemetery of Yin people (also known as "Yin Shang" because the capital of Shang Dynasty was in Yin), and later even King Jing and King lie of Zhou were buried there. In the spring and Autumn period (511 BC), Wei Xianzi summoned the officials of various vassal states to make a covenant with zhaiquan for the first time. Therefore,

Zhai Quan was also the place where the Zhou Dynasty allied the princes

. According to historical records, King Ping of Zhou took the Royal City as the capital of the state, and passed on eleven kings to King Jing. After King Jing died, his two sons had a fierce conflict in order to fight for the throne. As a result of the struggle, Gai, his second son, was appointed king because of the assistance of the Jin master. Before long, Meng, the eldest son of the commoner, also came back by the army of other countries. King Jing moved his capital to zhaiquan in order to avoid his attack. Meng then mourned the king according to the royal city. Four years later, mourning for the king went to Chu, honoring the king and recapturing the royal city. However, because the city paid more tribute to Wang Yudang, it was convenient for the capital to be officially set in zhaiquan the next year. In Lu Ji's record of Luoyang, it is recorded that Zhai Quan was in buguanli, Donggong street of Jin Dynasty, and buguanli was in the northeast of the palace at that time. It is also said that in the first year of Yongjia period of Jin Dynasty (307 AD), the northeast of Luoyang city collapsed in buguangli, and there were Cang and Bai geese flying out of the ground. Cang geese rushed to the sky and wailed, while Bai geese circled the ground three times, wailing and not flying. Chen Liu, Xiaolian and Dong Yang said that zhaiquan in buguangli, the place of the alliance, is now pale and has a picture of a Hu, which can be said to the full. Five years later, Liu Yao and Wang Mi entered Luoyang and were imprisoned in Pingyang.
