Talking about the week Shang King Wu forces wiped out immediately after the start of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor in the packet thistle fact.

"Yan" and "thistle" Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou Ji country packet when the packet is still another vassal state of the north, which is Yan. "Historical Records. Yan Zhao Gong family," it reads: "King Wu of Zhou the off, called the public in Northern Yan Feng." Talking about here is what we call the North Yan Yan. Thus, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, when near the present city of Beijing and the regions actually have two Western Zhou vassal state, one is thistle country, the other is built on a thistle near the Yan State.

So, when King Wu of Zhou the early packet manor where? Historians have long debated, has been inconclusive. Later in the southwest of Beijing's Fangshan District Liulihe found near an ancient city of the West Zhou Dynasty and mass burial site, and from a large number of funerary objects unearthed after the beginning of the history of the manor on Yan's awful pending cases, finally a success solution.

Thistle thistle hill and the city for us, the most interesting thing is the exact location of Thistle City Buildings site, whether it's somewhere in Beijing today? Beijing today is still retained some remains of the ancient city of thistle?

Li Tao Yuan said: "The past after King Wu of Zhou Ji Feng Yao, this city has Xibei Yu Ji Qiu, due to the name Qiu Yi, it still Qufu Lu, Qi Qiu carry on business." According to this argument, the thistle City The origin of the name of the city, the city began in the northwest corner of Thistle Hill, as the Qufu Lu, Qi Qiu, like the camp, are due to have a significant local geographical features, namely, the ground near the mound and a prominent name in the .

Ang famous Tang Dynasty poet, wrote a "thistle Qiu Lan ancient" poetry, among them: "North Teng Ji Qiu Wang, find the ancient Xuan Yuan Taiwan. Should have been gone long, Wrangler, Wong Egypt." Thus, at least in the Tang generations, thistle hill is still distinctly visible, so it may have ang poem retro thistle hill. Since Li Tao Yuan Qiu said the relative position of thistle is credible, then, according to this important clue, and with reference to relevant literature, we will be happy to find what you want to determine the location of the city thistle. From the geographical position and geographical analysis of the situation, Li Yuan Road, recorded in the thistle hill, about Beijing Guang An Men in this vicinity. White Cloud Temple is now the West wall of the original one Takaoka, is probably the site of the ancient hill thistle.
