Zhengzhou, also known as the shopping mall, was the capital of Shang Dynasty 3,500 years ago and today's modern trade city, which made Zhengzhou attached to commerce. Because of business, Zhengzhou was rated as one of the eight ancient capitals in China; Because of business, Zhengzhou has established its central position as a modern commercial city connecting east and west and connecting north and south. Those who win the Central Plains win the world, and businessmen know this well. In Zhengzhou, a land of geomantic omen, businessmen have been beaten like fire and tea, and they are famous all over the country.

Erqi Square stands shoulder to shoulder with more than a dozen large commercial buildings around it. There are so many commercial buildings and shops on the palm-sized site, and its density is rare in other cities.

Second, the ancient city of Kaifeng is piled up like a mountain

Kaifeng originally meant "expanding territory", but it became a cruel game here in the Yellow River. Every time the dike is opened, Kaifeng City is sealed (buried). The Yellow River smeared a lot of mud and mud on Kaifeng again and again like a naughty child, and Kaifeng was built, sealed and rebuilt like a stubborn child. Never.

The "ancient city" is actually an "underground city", and the six overlapping "underground cities" are like six thick mud books, engraved with the glory and tragic of Kaifeng.

Third, Luoyang water mat water cooking.

Luoyang has "three wonders", and the water mat is one of them. It was originally a court dish in the Tang Dynasty, and later spread to the people. It is deeply loved by the people and has been passed down to this day. Since ancient times, chefs have been afraid of soup, but Luoyang water mat has made a big fuss about soup, with 3824 dishes.

Except for eight cold dishes, the other sixteen hot dishes are all made of soup and water. When cooking, whether it is bird's nest, sea cucumber, radish or vegetables, it is mixed with soup and water.

Here, water is the protagonist, food is the supporting role, the bowl is big, there are few dishes and more soup. This practice is not only difficult to see in other cuisines, but also unique in Henan cuisine, which may be the real reason for the name of "water mat".

Fourth, the word "zhong" is really good.

People in Henan love to say "China", which is known all over the world. There are so many dialects in China, one word can explain the historical changes of a place, and one word represents the dialect culture of a place. Only the word "zhong" in Henan dialect can hardly be found all over the world.

"Zhong" has become the spoken language of Henan people, but few people know the heavy history, cultural accumulation, pride and loss that the word "Zhong" once carried!

5. "Yang" is a strange place name.

The mountains and rivers in Henan are dense and magnificent, and they are also "hidden" in place names. Looking through the map of Henan, you will find that many places are named after mountains and rivers, such as Luohe, Jiyuan and Pingdingshan.

In addition, there is an interesting phenomenon. There are many place names ending in "Yang", ranking first in China, such as Luoyang, Nanyang, Xinyang, Anyang, Puyang, Xingyang, Ruyang, Yiyang, Wuyang, Huaiyang, Zhiyang, Qinyang, Biyang, Zhengyang and Yuanyang. These' bright' place names, except Xinyang and Yuanyang, are all related to mountains and rivers.
