Features: The large-scale series "Ancient Capital Xi'an" aims to provide people with a deeper understanding of Xi'an. It allows readers to touch the historical context and cultural characteristics of Xi'an, feel its soul, and help Xi'an reach the world, as well as build another bridge for Sino-Western cultural exchange. The series is organized according to the principle of progressing from ancient to modern and is comprehensive and systematic. Each chapter discusses topics either chronologically or by category, but with a generally unified format to introduce Xi'an systematically, accurately, comprehensively, and with a focus. While ensuring academic standards, the series strives to be accessible to a broader audience, making history more approachable to the masses and imbued with rigorous scientific rigor, extensive knowledge, and artistic appeal. "The history of a city is the history of a nation." Ancient Xi'an is like a living history book, page by page and scene by scene, recording the vicissitudes and transformations of the Chinese nation. Ancient Xi'an witnessed the prosperity of the "Rule of Wen and Jing," the "Rule of Zhenguan," and the "Kaiyuan," yet the former Chang'an City, where emperors once hoped for lasting peace and stability, also experienced decline, destruction by warfare, and tragic setbacks. This book introduces the connotation and characteristics of ancient governance, governance during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, governance during the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Jin, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties, as well as the features of governance in Chang'an.
