You can imagine the ground under our feet

你能想象我们脚下的土地

And far away the United Kingdom

和远隔重洋的英国

Is it inextricably linked?

有着千丝万缕的联系吗?

We are familiar with Shaanxi

我们所熟悉的陕西

It is a thick ancient Chinese civilization

是厚重的华夏文明古城

It is located in the middle of China's geographical map

位于中国地理版图正中央

A Qinling mountain divides north and south

一条秦岭划分南北

Thirteen emperors have traversed the ages

十三朝帝都穿越古今

Eight hundred miles Qinchuan ancient road heart

八百里秦川古道衷肠

See the scenery from the ground

地上看风光

Looking back at underground history

地下品历史

There are countless treasures

有着数不清道不完的宝藏

Britain we barely know

我们不怎么熟悉的“大不列颠”

It's an old European country

In terms of geography, Shaanxi is very similar to the outline of the United Kingdom, the north and south narrow, almost like a copy and paste "brother".

地理版图上看,陕西与英国轮廓极为相似,南北狭长,简直像复制粘贴的“亲兄弟”。

Britain is located in the northwest side of the European continent, surrounded by the North Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea, the English Channel, the land area of about 24.41 square kilometers.

英国位于欧洲大陆西北侧,被北海,大西洋,凯尔特海,爱尔兰海,英吉利海峡包围,国土面积约为24.41平方公里。

Shaanxi is located in the hinterland of China's central plains, the middle reaches of the Yellow River, is an inland province without a coastline, an area of about 20.56 square kilometers, about the size of the United Kingdom.

陕西位于我国中原腹地,黄河中游地区,是一个没有海岸线的内陆省份,面积约为20.56平方公里,与英国大小差不多。


So you have three brothers too

【原来你也有“三兄弟”】

The United Kingdom is divided into three parts: England in the south, Scotland in the north, and Wales in the west, with different dialects.

英国分为南部的英格兰、北部的苏格兰、西部的威尔士三个部分,三个地方的方言各不相同。

Shaanxi is divided into three parts: northern Shaanxi, central Shaanxi and Southern Shaanxi. The customs and habits of the three parts are also different.

陕西分为陕北、关中、陕南三个部分,三分地方的风俗习惯同样各不相同。

The great river runs through:

大河穿过:

London, the capital of the United Kingdom, is located in the southeast of the island of Great Britain, the Thames flows through it, which is called the Mother River by the British, the river is about 346 kilometers in length, and flows east into the North Sea.

英国首都伦敦位于大不列颠岛东南部,泰晤士河从中穿流而过,被英国人称之为母亲河,河流全长约346公里,向东注入北海。

Xi 'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, is located in the middle of the Guanzhong Plain. The Weihe River, the largest tributary of the Yellow River, about 818 kilometers long, is the most important river feeding the Guanzhong Plain.

陕西省会西安位于关中平原中部,渭河便从西安北部穿过,渭河是黄河的最大支流,长约818公里,是孕育关中平原最重要的河流。


"Similar" history and culture

【人文历史的“共同孕育”】

After more than half a century of fighting, there are only seven tribes left in England. In the 5th century AD, the seven Kingdoms formed an informal alliance of Anglo-Saxon tribes in England until 829 AD, when King Egbert of Wessex conquered the remaining six kingdoms on the island of Britain and united England.

经过半个多世纪的征战,英格兰地区仅剩7个部落。公元5世纪,七个小国在英格兰组成盎格鲁-撒克逊部落的非正式联盟,直到公元829年,威塞克斯王国的爱格伯特国王征服了不列颠岛上的其余六个小国,统一英格兰,七国时代就此结束。

Throughout the history of Shaanxi, the same is true. In 230 AD, Ying Zheng began to adopt the strategy of distant friendship and near attack, launched the war of six States, and destroyed Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi successively. In 221 AD, he unified the whole country, established the first unified dynasty in Chinese history, Qin Dynasty, and made Xianyang, Shaanxi the capital.

纵观陕西历史也差不多如此,公元230年嬴政开始采用远交近攻的战略方式,发动了六国之战,并先后灭掉了韩、赵、魏、楚、燕、齐,并于公元221年统一天下,建立我国历史上第一个大一统王朝秦朝,定都陕西咸阳。

Ps: During the Tang Dynasty, Chang 'an was established as its capital. Since Europe started late, the Tang Dynasty was already the most glorious era and the economic and cultural center of the whole world, which also made Chang 'an a world-famous international metropolis. Due to the strong national strength and prosperous foreign trade of the Tang Dynasty, the neighboring Turks, Iran, Arabia and other regions maintained good diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty. In addition, there was the habit of paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and there were frequent cultural exchanges and trade exchanges in Persia.

Ps:唐朝时期,定都长安,由于欧洲起步较晚,而唐朝却已是最为辉煌的时代,更是整个世界的经济文化中心,这也使得长安成为一座世界著名的国际化大都市,由于唐朝国力强盛,外贸商业繁荣,周边突厥、伊朗、阿拉伯等地区都与唐朝保持良好外交关系,且还有向唐朝上贡的习惯,另外还有波斯地区进行频繁文化交流和贸易往来。

Hamburger originated in Rome, and later introduced to the United Kingdom, a series of reforms, into today's British hamburger with French fries.

汉堡最早起源于罗马,后来传入英国后,进行了一系列改革,变成如今的英国汉堡配炸薯条。

Shaanxi is not a big province of carbon and water waves have a false name, "Chinese hamburger" rou Jia mo with a bowl of potato rub, miles apart from the diet "homologous", is the common heart of the two places of food.

陕西碳水大省也不是浪得虚名,“中式汉堡”肉夹馍配一碗洋芋擦擦,相隔千里饮食“同源”,是两地吃货们共同的心头好。
