Was Shanxi the best in ancient times?

Shanxi is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation, with a long history and rich cultural heritage. Up to now, it has a written history of 3,000 years, and is known as "China Museum of Ancient Culture" and "Cradle of Chinese Civilization". The legend of "Goddess of Mending Heaven" happened in Shanxi. The ancestors of the Chinese nation, Huangdi and Yandu, lived in Shaanxi. Three ancient emperors of China, Yao, Shun and Yu, all established their capitals in the south of Shanxi, namely Pingyang (now Linfen), Puban (now yongji city) and Anyi (this summer county). During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, Jin Wengong was one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Datong (then called Pingcheng) was the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. At the end of Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan and his son set out for Jinyang (now Taiyuan), then seized Chang 'an, established the Tang Dynasty, and later designated Taiyuan as the northern capital of the Tang Empire. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, there were wars and famines in the Central Plains for years, and Shanxi, especially the southern part of Shanxi, became the main area of immigrants in the early Ming Dynasty because of its economic prosperity and dense population. Over the past half century, Shanxi has immigrated more than a dozen times. The pagoda tree in Hongtong County was a major immigration station at that time. This is where the phrase "Ask where my ancestors are, Sophora japonica in Hongdong, Shanxi" circulated in many parts of the country comes from. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the rise of Shanxi merchants and Shanxi merchants banks was famous at home and abroad.
