Luoyang

Luoyang(Easy)The capital of the Nine Dynasties!The Nine Dynasties had their capital in Luoyang.It began with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Later Han Dynasty, the Three Wei Dynasties, the Western Jin Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty of Empress Zetian, the Later Liang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms, and the Later Tang Dynasty.In China, the north side of a river is called yang, and the south side is called yin.It is said that the name Luoyang came from the fact that it is a capital town located to the north of Luosui, and the reason why nine dynasties set up their capitals here is probably because of the good feng shui of having Mt. Bow in the back and Luksui in front. Is it?From the 11th century B.C. during the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an shared the political center for a long time.For this reason, it gave rise to the phrase, ``The paper prices of Luoyang'' were coined, and it was also home to China's first Buddhist temple.Now, with the opening of high-speed trains, you can easily arrive from Xi'an in just 1.5 hours, making day trips a reality.Longmen Grottoes(Ryumon Sex)14 km south of the city.This is a cave temple carved into a rocky mountain on the banks of Isui.Along with the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and the Yungang Grottoes in Datong, they are known as China's Three Great Grottoes.In 493 AD, Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei moved the capital from Datong to Luoyang. From that time, excavation began to take over the Yungang caves.It continued to be dug for about 400 years until the Tang Dynasty, and it is said that there are 1,352 caves, 750 Buddhist niches, 97,000 Buddha statues, and over 3,600 inscriptions.Of particular note is Fengxeonsa-dong, the largest of the Longmen Grottoes, which took three years and nine months to complete in 675.A space 33.5m wide, 38.7m deep, and 40m high is carved into the mountainside, which is more than 20m high, and a 17.14m-tall Buddha statue is carved in the center of it.It was said that her face was modeled after Empress Zetian Wu.Hakuba Temple(Hakubaji)It is said to be the first Buddhist temple in China, located 10 kilometers east of Luoyang City.Emperor Ming (reigned from 57 to 75) of the Later Han Dynasty sent messengers to the west after receiving a message from a dream, and the messengers were Cai Ying and Qin Jing.The two of them went to Tianjiku, met two high-ranking monks, Setsuma Teng and Jikhoran, and returned to Japan together.At this time, the two high priests arrived at Luoyang with white horses, scriptures, and statues of Buddha.It is said that Buddhism was first introduced to China.It is said that Hakuba-dera Temple began when it was built as a residence for a high priest.There is also a grave of a high priest just after entering the Sanmon gate.Kanrindo(Kanrindo)This is Guan Di Temple, where Guan Yu from Romance of the Three Kingdoms is enshrined.In China, the tomb of an emperor is called ``Ling'', and the Confucius family is allowed to be named ``Lin'', and the Confucius family's tomb in Qufu, Shandong Province is called ``Konglin''.The name ``Kanbayashi'' indicates the high level of respect it holds.The scale is grand, with the main gate, ceremonial gate, bell and drum tower, worship hall, main hall, second hall, third hall, and mound.In the 77th episode of the Three Kingdoms, in 219, he was protecting the castle in Jingzhou on the orders of Liu Bei. He was caught in a pincer attack between Wei and Wu, and was advised by Sun Quan of Wu to surrender, but he refused and was beheaded.Sun Quan cut off the head, but was afraid of disaster, so he put the head in a wooden box and delivered it to Cao Cao in Luoyang day and night.Cao Cao was very happy when he opened the box and laughed and said, ``Uncho, has nothing changed since Ichibetsu?'' Then, Guan Yu's eyebrows moved, and his beard and hair stood on end.Cao Cao was shocked and fainted, and hastily buried him with care outside the south gate of Luoyang.
