ⅠTime-Honoured History

1.二帝圣陵

1. Mausoleums of Emperors Zhuan Xu and Di Ku

大约4000多年前，上古时代“三皇五帝”中的颛顼、帝喾二位帝王在安阳境内建都，分别在位70多年，是中华民族先民们所崇拜的君王。如今安阳市内黄县就有二帝陵遗址。颛顼创制了九州，确定了兖、冀、青、徐、豫、荆、扬、雍、梁九州的名称和分辖区域，中国首次有了自己的版图和行政区划。至此，华夏泱泱大国雏形初现，“日月所照，莫不砥属”。此外，颛顼、帝喾加强君权，控制神权，建立人、神分治的官制；伐共工，拓疆土，平水害，利于民；缔造《颛顼历》以指导农事，促进了国家富强，社会发展，为尧舜时期的新发展奠定了基础。

The two emperors of Zhuan Xu and Di Ku, who were among the “Three Emperors and Five Sov ereigns” in prehistorical times, both set their capitals in Anyang about 4,000 years ago. They each reigned for more than 70 years, and were worshipped by the ancient Chinese people. Their mausoleums are now located in Nei Huang County, Anyang City. Zhuan Xu instituted 9 states of Yan, Ji, Qing, Xu, Yu, Jing, Yang, Yong, Liang, and defined each district. That was the first time of all for China having its own territory and administrative districts. Moreover, Zhuan Xu and Di Ku strengthened sovereignty, held theocracy and built the separate official systems of people and gods. They defeated Gong Gong, expanded the territory, addressed the flood issue and brought benefit to the people. They created the Calendar of Zhuan Xu to guide agricultural affairs, thus promoted national prosperity and social developmet, laying a foundation for new progress in the period of Yao and Shun.

It was the first relic of ancient capital in China that was recorded in documents and has been proved by oracle-bone inscriptions and archaeological excavation.
