| Xi'an -- 'Cradle of Chinese Civilization' 2006-11-16 Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, is situated on the Weihe River between the Qinling mountain range to the south and a loess plateau to the north. It lies in a fertile valley crisscrossed by the eight tributaries of the Weihe River system. Xi'an is famous throughout the world for its archaeological treasures and rich cultural heritage. It was the home of "Lantian Man," who lived some 600,000 years ago, and of a Neolithic community (four thousand to five thousand years old) whose remains have been found in what is now called Banpo Village. Xi'an leads to the western regions and commands the central plains in the east-because of this important geographical location, it was the capital of eleven imperial dynasties, whose splendor is visible in the area to this day. During the Middle Ages, Xi'an was one of the biggest cities in the world and a center of international trade. The famous Silk Road started here, traversed the Middle East, and ended at the Mediterranean. The bustling metropolis was host to thousands of foreign envoys, students, monks, and merchants, who all converged on the city from Southeast Asia and beyond. Today, Xi'an is a major industrial center. But is it the brilliant ancient relics assembles here that people come to see, in what is sometimes called the "cradle of Chinese civilization." |
