Here, the accumulated heritage of the Chinese nation spanning thousands of years continues to quietly endure, encompassing culture, customs, virtues, traditions, and even dross. "Chang'an has been the capital of emperors since ancient times." The splendor of the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties endows Xi'an, one of the world's four great ancient capitals alongside Athens, Cairo, and Rome, with an undeniable imperial grandeur.
