C. It was, under the name of Loyang,
the capital of the Chin dynasty,
from which the name ‘China’ is
derived. After an Interval of more

Loyang that paper was Invented and

“How materially the governing cen

Loyang's subsequent history. After
other cities became the capitals of
the empire, this ancient city was
made a subordinate governmental
