What's so special about Jinyang City? Why is this place called "Pillar of the Northern Qi Dynasty"?

Friends who are familiar with history must be familiar with Beiqi. Although this dynasty only existed for 28 years in the vast history, it experienced seven emperors and made great contributions to history. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the survival of the fittest lasted for so many years, which was inseparable from Jinyang City in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Jinyang City is the pillar of Beiqi because of its unique strategic geographical location, tough folk customs and economic prosperity.

1. Jinyang, a military place, has become a very important area since Liu Bang made Jinyang its capital. Especially after the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Yang overthrew the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he established his capital in Jinyang, which was called Northern Qi in history. Another important reason why so many monarchs built their capitals here in the Northern Qi Dynasty is its unique geographical location. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it has formed a very important impregnable military fortress. Therefore, rulers of all ages felt very safe here.

Second, the folk customs are very strong. In addition to its special military geographical location, Jinyang City has a great advantage that the folk customs here are very strong, and all of them are brave and good at fighting. And Gao Huan and other rulers made their fortune by these people. The composition of these tough guys is very complicated, including exiles, ethnic minorities, Han Dynasty and so on. And have experienced many wars, thus forming another advantage of Jinyang City.

Third, the economic prosperity of the city Because Jinyang City is the land of the Dragon Millennium, the Northern Qi Emperor attached great importance to this area. With vigorous development and careful management, Jinyang City has become a prosperous commercial center. Due to the importance attached to Jinyang City, the Northern Qi Emperor built many traffic arteries leading to various places around it. Due to the convenient transportation, many businessmen are attracted to trade here, thus forming the most important commercial transit station in the Central Plains. The original Silk Road was also revived here. Therefore, the economic prosperity of Jinyang City has also become the economic pillar of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Jinyang City, with its unique position as a military fortress, allowed feudal rulers to build their capital here. In addition, the people are brave and good at fighting, and the economy is prosperous, which makes Jinyang City a military and economic pillar of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Prosperous cities also need the care of rulers to continue. Later, because of the extravagance of the Northern Qi Emperor, Jinyang City fell into the hands of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In addition, Zhao Guangyi and Song Taizong were very afraid that Jinyang was the real dragon emperor, so he set fire to Jinyang City and drowned it, so Jinyang City disappeared from history.
