Taiyuan is an ancient city with a history of more than 2400 years. It is said that Taiyuan belongs to the Tang Dynasty, which was sealed by the descendants of Emperor Yao and later renamed Jin. Taiyuan, formerly known as Jinyang, was founded in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Zhao Jianzi, Minister of the State of Jin, built a city north of Jinshui and named it Jinyang. Historically, it was once an important frontier defense town and a battleground for northern military strategists. Known as the North Gate of the Central Plains since ancient times, it has always been an important industrial and commercial city in northern China. Especially in the Qing Dynasty, ten major industries, such as grain shops, silks and satins, and money houses, flourished. During the Han Dynasty, Taiyuan was an important town in the north, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a Bingzhou thorn department in Jinyang to command six counties, including Taiyuan and Shangdang. Since then, Taiyuan has also been called Bingzhou. The golden age of Taiyuan was Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang was made King of Jin before he ascended the throne, and regarded Taiyuan as the "birthplace". After he proclaimed himself emperor, he built a lot of buildings in Taiyuan. It was from Taiyuan that Li Yuan and his son began their official career in the Tang Dynasty. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan was designated as the "northern capital", ranking second only to Chang 'an. At the end of the Tang dynasty, the world was ruled by chaos, and the three outstanding men of the Northern Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties all set out from Taiyuan to seize the world. Taiyuan can be said to be a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so it is also known as the "Dragon City". During the late Song Dynasty, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Taiyuan was repeatedly looted by war and rebuilt in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the early days of liberation, the urban area of Taiyuan was 30 square kilometers with a population of 200,000. After liberation, Taiyuan has made great progress and become an important energy and heavy chemical industry base in China.

Today, Taiyuan is the center of politics, economy, culture, science and technology, education and information in the whole province, and also the base of energy and heavy chemical industry in China. In recent decades, great changes have taken place in Taiyuan's national economic and social development, and now it has developed into an industrial city with metallurgy, machinery, chemical industry and coal industry as the main body, textile, electronics, food, medicine, electricity, building materials and other industries of considerable scale and relatively complete industrial categories.

Taiyuan, as a political, economic, cultural and military center in the north, has a large number of talents in history. Taiyuan has accumulated rich cultural heritages, such as Jinci Garden, which is a bright pearl of Chinese culture. The Twin Towers Temple "Lingxiao Twin Towers" built in Ming Dynasty is an outstanding representative of the Twin Towers in China. Longshan Grottoes, the largest Taoist grottoes in China, are praised by experts as "the best in the world". In addition, there are famous Buddhist temples, such as Chongshan Temple, Taoist Temple with national characteristics, Chunyang Palace and Duofu Temple, which were built in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. Guo Moruo, a great writer, wrote a poem "Ode to Taiyuan" after visiting Taiyuan. The first sentence is "Looking at Taiyuan from afar, the rice fields on both sides of Fenhe River are rich". Nowadays, no matter from a distance or from a distance, every tourist will be happy for your arrival.

Taiyuan's folk cultural activities are extremely colorful, and its Xiaojin Opera is its representative. Jin Opera, namely Zhonglu Bangzi, is a representative opera in Shanxi Province and one of the four major bangzi in Shanxi Province. Because its activity area is in the middle of Shanxi, especially near Taiyuan and Jinzhong, this kind of drama has always been welcomed and loved by the people in the middle of Shanxi, because it is called Zhonglu Bangzi. Zhonglu Bangzi is characterized by euphemistic and smooth melody, beautiful, mellow and cordial melody, clear and simple, with strong Jinzhong local flavor and unique style.
