The Capital City of Eastern Wei and Northern Qi
The capital of Eastern Wei and Northern Qi was Ye City. Ye City was located in Linzhang County, Handan City, Hebei Province. It was the capital site of Cao Wei, Later Zhao, Wei, Former Yan, Eastern Wei, and Northern Qi. Ye City was of great significance in the history of the construction of ancient China capitals. It was known as the " Old Place of the Three Kingdoms and the Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties." The Eastern Wei Dynasty moved its capital from Luoyang to Ye City and built an even larger scale Yecheng City. Ye City was divided into two parts, the north and the south, and the outer city was 100 square kilometers wide. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, Ye City was rebuilt and became an international metropolis with a certain status in China and even the world. However, Ye City declined after the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Northern Qi in 577 AD and was changed to Xiangzhou, which was completely destroyed in 580 AD.
