Anyang is a famous cultural city with a history of more than 3,000 years. As the main birthplace of the Chinese civilization, it is one of the seven ancient capitals of China. It is sometimes called the “first ancient capital of China.” Anyang has traces of many ancient stories such as Ximen Bao at Ye City.
What is the significance of Anyang in early Chinese history?
It was important in history as the site of the ancient city of Yin, the capital of the Shang dynasty (1600–1046 bce) from the 14th century bce; the Shang palace stood about 10 miles (16 km) west of the present city. Anyang declined when the succeeding Zhou capital arose at Luoyang to the southwest.

Anyang is believed to be the city that Shang kings ruled from for more than two centuries, with altars, temples and palaces located at the center.
