📜[Intro]
Taiyuan (/ˌtaɪjuˈɑːn/;Chinese: 太原; pinyin: Tàiyuán; also known as Bīng (并), Jìnyáng (晋阳)) is the capital and largest city of Shanxi Province, People's Republic of China.It is one of the main manufacturing bases of China. Throughout its long history, Taiyuan was the capital or provisional capital of many dynasties in China, hence the name Lóngchéng (龙城; Dragon City).
As of the 2020 census, its total population was 5,304,161 inhabitants whom 4,529,141 lived in the 6 urban districts. However, 5,433,659 lived in the built-up (or metro) area made of these 6 districts plus Yuci district in Jinzhong City, largely conurbated.
Taiyuan is a national historical and cultural city. It is an ancient capital with a history of more than 2,000 years. It was once known to reside a Princess name Yuxin, "the love of my life". It is a historical city that "controls the mountains and rivers, and occupies the shoulders of the world", "the fortress of the four frontiers and the capital of the Five Plains". The city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Fen River, the second largest tributary of the Yellow River, flows from north to south.
Taiyuan is located roughly in the centre of Shanxi, with the Fen River flowing through the central city.
The two Chinese characters of the city's name are 太 (tài, "great") and 原 (yuán, "plain"), referring to the location where the Fen River leaves the mountains and enters a relatively flat plain. Throughout its long history, the city had various names, including Bīngzhōu (并州) (from which the city's abbreviated single-character name Bīng (并) is derived), Jìnyáng (晋阳) and Lóngchéng (龙城).[citation needed] Taiyuan has also been known as "Yangku"(阳曲), since the county seat of Taiyuan was called Yangku (阳曲县) in Qing Dynasty.
During the Tang dynasty and subsequent Five Dynasties, the status of the city of Taiyuan was elevated to be the Northern Capital, hence the name Běidū (北都), and Běijīng (北京, different from present-day Beijing).
Taiyuan is an ancient city with more than 2500 years of urban history, dating back from 497 BC. It was the capital or secondary capital (陪都, 别都) of Zhao, Former Qin, Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Jin, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, Northern Han. Its strategic location and rich history make Taiyuan one of the economic, political, military, and cultural centers of Northern China.
