Especially the Tang Ming and Paradise built in the era of Wu Zetian made it unique and became a great miracle of the world.

Weizi Town is located in the northwest corner of Luoyang City in Sui and Tang Dynasties, north of the imperial city. At the suggestion of Prime Minister Su Wei, Emperor Yangdi Yang Di set the central axis of Wei Zicheng as Que in the south, Mangshan peak in the north and slightly inclined to the northwest.

Thousands of years later, the central axis of the Forbidden City in Beijing is also biased to the northwest, which coincides with Wei Zicheng, which is an anecdote. Wei Zinan is connected with the Imperial City in the south, Mangshan Mountain in the north, Shenduyuan and Shangyang Palace in the west, and Dongcheng in the east, including Jiacang City, where grain water runs through.

Emperor Yang Di introduced valley water into Miyagi, and built many ponds according to the water, the largest of which was Jiuzhou pond built in the northwest corner of Miyagi by Sui Dynasty.
