The development of history

The recorded history of the Tang Dynasty began in 2357 BC. In that year, the then "Emperor" branch, the leader of the tribal alliance, was dismissed by the tribal leader because of his poor governance, but was elected as the "Emperor" by virtue of his wise personality and outstanding achievements as a tribal leader, becoming the highest in the country at that time.

At that time, the capital of the emperor was Pingyang, which is now Linfen, Shanxi. After Emperor Yao ascended the throne, he went all the way south from his place of governance, that is, Tang Cheng Village in Dingzhou City, and the first stop passed by and stayed in Xingtang. Therefore, the place of Xingtang began to have a literal name-"Nantang Post", which means "Tang Yao's Southbound Land".
