HONAN-FU NEWEST
CAPITAL OF CHINA

to Vickburg, Miss. Honan-fu, to which
the Marking government archives and
personnel have been moved, lies 400
miles to the northwest, in a position
that can be likened to that of Okla
homa City.
"The Yellow river is not navigable
anywhere near Honan-fu, SO that there
Is no danger of attack by naval forces.
The Peiping-Hankow railway, China's
principal rail artery, lies about seven
ty-fiye miles east of the city. A
branch line extends from it to
Honan-fu.
"Honan province has figured i'm
portantly in Chinese history from the
earliest times. 1t has even been sug-
gested that Chinese culture had its
birth in this region. At any rate, it
was from Honan that the early cul-
ture spread southwark to the Yangtze
and eastward to the coast The name
means South of the River but an
early nickname was Middle Flowery
Land 1t was from this affectionate
term for Honan that the name Middle
Kingdom applicable to China, arose.
although off the route of river
traffic and through rail traffic, Honan-
flu has been for centuries on one of
the most important of Chinese over
land, highways, the, Great Northwest
road. The portion of this road from
Peiping to H0nan province extends
southwark to the vicinity of Kaifeng,
the provincial capital. 1t then runs
along westward some twenty miles
south of the Yellow river through
Honan-fu, Shenchow and Sian; turns
northwestward to I.an-chow, LANG
chow, and Su-chow; and extends on
into Central Asia. Over it moves
most of the commerce between Chi
nese Turkestan and China proper.
Typical Old City.
"Honan-fu has population of only
about 10000. 1t is typical old city
of the interior with a wall enclosing
clutter of narrow and dusty streets.
About its gates at certain. hours is a
congestion of wheelbarrows, laden
donkeys and vendors of food and tea.
