About
About Anyang
Anyang is a prefecture-level city in Henan, China. The northernmost city in Henan, it borders Puyang to the east, Hebi and Xinxiang to the south, and the provinces of Shanxi and Hebei to its west and north respectively.
According to Bronze Age inscriptions, Anyang was the first stable capital city of China dated back to the late Shang Dynasty (1554–1045 BCE). A great number of oracle bones were discovered in Xiaolitun Village, located at the northwest of Anyang City. The oracle bones were primarily used for divination, and the language used is believed to be the earliest one written in Chinese characters. During the Three Kingdoms Period, there were Cao Wei, Leter Zhao, Ran Wei, Qianyan, Dongwei, and Beiqi, so Anyang City was known as the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties.
