Who is the best in the four first-tier cities in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

Daliang, the largest city in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was located in the core of the Central Plains with developed waterways. After decades of management by Wei, its population reached nearly 4, at its peak. It was a civilized commercial metropolis at that time, equivalent to Shanghai now.

The main girder now is Kaifeng, a small city along the 4th and 5th lines, with a small population. Most of them have gone out to work, and the housing prices are cheap, with a GDP of only 16 billion, which is very low.

Linzi, the second largest city in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After hundreds of years of development, this city was the most prestigious education center in Dazhou at that time. It can be said that colleges and universities gather and masters gather, which is equivalent to Beijing now. At its peak, there were 7, registered households and more than 2, able-bodied men. At that time, the average household population was large, and the total number should not be much different from that of Daliang. Now Linzi, a district of Zibo, has been reduced to a county-level unit with a population of only 6, and a GDP of over 6 billion.

Xianyang, the third largest city in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is purely an immigrant city with high construction standards and spacious streets, which is equivalent to Shenzhen now. As the capital of Qin, the commerce of Qin was not very developed at that time, so it was not particularly prosperous, but it was a very majestic city. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the population was about 3,. At its peak, it should be in the Qin Shihuang era, with 1, immigrants, and finally the population is estimated to be the first in the country. Now Xianyang is a prefecture-level city, belonging to the underdeveloped cities in the third and fourth lines, with an urban population of about 9, and a GDP of 2 billion yuan. Not bad.

Handan, the fourth largest city in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is the capital of Zhao, but it is not comparable to Shouchun in Luoyang, Dingtao and even Chu in terms of commercial status. It is equivalent to Guangzhou now. At its peak, the population was around 2,. Now Handan is probably the best among them, with a population of over 9 million and a GDP of over 3 billion.
