Xi'an has a rich history of cultural significance.The Lantian Man was discovered in 1963 at Lantian County (蓝田县; pinyin:Lántián Xiàn),just 50 km southeast of Xi'an.The findings dates back at least 500,000 years before present,it followed the discovery of 6,500 year old Banpo (半坡) Neolithic village in 1954,just on the outskirt of the city proper.
Xi'an become a cultural and industrial center of China in 11th century BCE,with the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.The capital of Zhou was established in Fēng (沣/沣) and Hào (镐/镐),both located just west of contemporary Xi'an.Following the several century long Warring States Period,Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE) unified China for the first time and the capital was Xianyang (咸阳),just northwest from modern Xi'an.Before his death,Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered the construction of the Terracotta Army and his mausoleum just east of Xi'an.
In 202 BCE,the founding emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty established Chang'an County as the capital; his first palace Changle Palace (长乐宫/长乐宫,perpetual happiness) was built across the river from the ruin of the Qin capital.This is traditionally regarded as the founding date of Chang'an,or Xi'an.Two years later,Liu Bang would built Weiyang Palace (未央宫) north of modern Xi'an.The original Xi'an city wall was started in 194 BCE,the construction took 4 years to finish and the wall measured 25.7 km in length,12-16 m in thickness at the base.The area within the wall was ca.36 km².In year 190,amidst uprisings and rebellions just prior to the Three Kingdoms Period,a powerful warlord named Dong Zhuo moves the court from Luoyang to Chang'an in a bid to avoid a coalition of other powerful warlords against him.
Following another few hundreds of years of unrest,Sui Dynasty united the country again in 582 and the emperor ordered a new capital to be built southeast of the Han capital,called DaXing (大兴/大兴,great excitement).It consisted of three sections:the X'ian Palace,the Imperial City,and the civilian section.The total area within the wall was 84 km²,The main street Zhuque Avenue measured 155 m in width.It was the largest city in the world.The city was renamed Chang'an in Tang Dynasty.In the mid-7th century,after returning from his pilgrimage to India,Buddhist monk Xuan Zang (popularly known as Tang Sanzang) established a translation centre for Sanskrit scriptures.
Construction of the Da Yan Pagoda (大雁塔,Great Wild Goose Pagoda) began in 652.It measured 64 m in height.This pagoda was constructed for the storage of the translations of Buddhist sutras obtained from India by the Xuan Zang.In 707,construction of the Xiao Yan Pagoda (小雁塔,Little Wild Goose Pagoda) began,it measured 45 m in height at the time of completion.The earthquake of 1556 damaged the tower and reduced its height to 43.4 m.
Chang'an was devastated at the end of the Tang Dynasty in 904.Residences were forced to move to the new capital city in Luoyang.Only a small area in the city continued to be occupied after the destruction.During the Ming Dynasty,a new wall was constructed in 1370 and the city wall would remain intact to this day.The new wall and a moat outside the walls protect a much smaller city of 12 km².The wall measures 11.9 km in circumference,12 m in height,and 15-18 m in thickness at the base.
During the World War II in 1936,the Xi'an Incident took place inside the city walls.It brought the Communist Party of China and Kuomintang to a truce to concentrate on fighting against the Japanese Invasion.
