洛邑 / Luoyi

洛邑 / Luoyi appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》18丨中国历史上第一例人头税 as the Zhou “京师,” or royal capital, where the lords meet in 344 BCE. The host’s key point is lexical: the notice says the lords “会” at the capital, not that they “朝” the king, which becomes evidence of a meeting not centered on royal audience.

The place also matters for the following year’s 逢泽 geography. The host infers that Fengze being west of Luoyi would better fit a Qin route that does not require troops to pass through the royal capital before the meeting.

《资治通鉴·周纪》32丨“史上首位联合国秘书长”苏秦 adds a Luoyang / Luoyi homecoming scene from 《史记》. When 苏秦 passes through his hometown after becoming leader of the six-state 合纵, 周显王 sends people to clear the road and receive him ceremonially. The episode uses the scene to reverse Su Qin’s earlier family humiliation through public recognition.

《资治通鉴·周纪》33丨历史第一爽文男主角苏秦 develops Luoyang as the home-ground where status becomes visible. The episode stresses that Su Qin is the same person who had earlier returned poor, but the public procession and royal reception now make his family treat him with fear and deference, producing the 前倨后恭 lesson.

《资治通鉴·周纪》58丨赵武灵王如何打造强国 adds a Qin Wuwang death scene. The episode uses 《史记》 to supplement the chronicle: after 甘茂 takes 宜阳 and the Sanchuan route is open, 秦武王 visits the Zhou king at Luoyang, sees the Nine Dings, and dies after a reckless ding-lifting contest. Luoyi therefore appears not only as reception capital, but also as the symbolic stage where Qin’s force meets Zhou ritual authority.

《资治通鉴·周纪》72丨什么样的人 才是忠贞之士？ adds a later meeting scene in 284 BCE. 秦昭襄王, 魏昭王, and 韩釐王 meet at the Zhou capital region while the Qi collapse is still unfolding, making Luoyi again a place where interstate politics uses the royal center without necessarily restoring Zhou decision power.

《资治通鉴·周纪》98丨历史上首个老赖登场了！ adds Luoyi / Luoyang as Zhou Nan Wang’s death setting after the failed anti-Qin mobilization and Qin’s punishment of 西周国. The city therefore appears at both the ritual center of earlier Zhou-centered diplomacy and the final scene where the Zhou-annals frame gives way to Qin-centered chronology.

Hanji 169 part 2 moves Luoyang / Luoyi into the Western Han founding frame. The episode says 刘邦 sets the capital at Luoyang and then, at the South Palace, asks why he won the realm while 项羽 lost it. The city becomes the stage for 专才分工式领导力, because Liu Bang explains Han victory through his ability to use 张良, 萧何, and 韩信.

Hanji 170 part 2 turns Luoyang from temporary founding stage into rejected capital option. 楼敬 argues that Zhou could use Luoyang because Zhou’s authority rested on long moral accumulation and a settled ritual order, while Liu Bang’s empire has just been made through war. 张良 adds that Luoyang’s terrain is not enough to offset its small hinterland and multi-sided exposure, so Liu Bang leaves for 长安.

Hanji 172 adds a return-to-Luoyang political stage after 刘邦 captures 韩信 through the 云梦泽 / 陈县 summons plan. The episode says Liu Bang announces the arrest there, frames the charge around unauthorized military action, and then issues clemency by sparing Han Xin’s life while reducing him to 淮阴 marquis.
