ZHANG Shanshan, a scholar of literature, visited and studied all the ruins and relics of Chang’an in the span of a decade. Chang’an is the old name of Xi’an City and to understand the path and destiny of Chang’an, one must start from the relics of the ancient city. Xi’an since antiquity has been host to thirteen different regimes. What are these dynasties? As the ancient capital over a length of millennia, perhaps such boasting is excessive? Leaving a poetic note of "the subject matter at Ci’en Pagoda, the youngest among seventeen people," epic poet BAI Juyi revealed his remarks and whereabouts of this old city. The wheels of history keep rolling, but what do they leave us? What do they tell us today? Let us take a tour with this literary scholar in Xi’an to learn more about the city.
张姗姗是一位文博工作者，十年内探访了长安各类遗址。而长安是西安的古称，了解长安的由来，便要从汉长安城遗址开始讲起。西安自古有十三朝古都之称，是哪十三朝？千年古都，千年是否过誉？“慈恩塔下题名处，十七人中最少年。”白居易的诗透露了他在这座城市里的哪些过往？历史的车轮滚滚碾过，如今剩下些什么？告诉今人什么？一起跟这位身在西安的文博工作者在西安城里边走边看。
