NATIONAL UNIFICATION-ORIENTED CAPITAL PLANNING:FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE SPATIAL FORM OF DAXING AND ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE IN THE SUI DYNASTY
Daxing in the Sui Dynasty was a capital planned and constructed during the process of national unification.The construction did not focus solely on the capital city itself,but also encompassed the entire territory centered on the capital.This paper analyzes the development of the Great Unification thought in ancient China and the historical context behind the construction of Daxing.It argues that the spatial construction in areas around Daxing in the early Sui Dynasty,including the national territory,the capital's periphery,and the capital space,was a spatial political practice that combined the Great Unification thought with the actual needs of the national unification process.The construction echoed the military,political,economic,cultural,and other needs of the time,enriching and developing the expression of the Great Unification thought in the urban space.In addition,it enhanced the role of the capital in establishing state order and shaping national identity,promoting the formation and consolidation of the unified era of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
