Zhongshi

Zhongshi was the oldest Yobanjin city. A class of thinkers emerged there and developed a cohesive system of values, the rujia philosophy. Imperial Archives, p. 72
== Government ==
Zongshi was the oldest known city in the Yobanjin lands, founded over a thousand years ago near a curve of the Ponderous River, home of the Small River Tribe. Other tribes began to live there, and their senior representatives chose each year its governor. A set of rules maintained balance between the different tribes, preserving their rights and privileges and ensuring security for all. Imperial Archives, p. 78
== Secretive ==
Zhongshi had never been visited by any Rokugani to keep secret its treasures, such as the statues of the forty-nine warriors who defeated Zurong, a rogue sentient Wyrm who reigned over the Yobanjin for a time. Other valuables included the oldest known scrolls with
the fundamentals of rujia philosophy, and the Tree of the Gods, an ancient pear tree whose fruit granted wisdom and longevity. Imperial Archives, p. 79
