==History== The city of ''Yōng'' ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|雍}}}}) located in Fengxiang District, was once the capital of the ancient State of Qin during the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BCE). As Yong's population expanded over time, the surrounding area became Yong County ({{lang|zh-hans|雍县}}). During the Tang dynasty (618–907 CE), a prefectural seat of government was established and renamed Fengxiang County, although people continued to use the old name. Under the Tang, it also served as '''Xidu''' ({{lang|zh|西都}}), the "Western Capital" of the empire.<ref name="chiknotang">Theobald, Ulrich. ''China Knowledge''.

今天有16个省会首府直辖市出现高温，西安泾河站42.3℃打破观测史最高纪录（算上西安老站，为西安观测史第二高），重庆沙坪坝为今年首次上40℃。明天高温依然极强，陕西关中和汉中、山西西南部、河南中南部、湖北北部和西部、重庆北部、四川盆地南部、内蒙古西北部、新疆吐鲁番盆地和南疆盆地部分地区可达40℃以上。 不���明天白天的最高气温存在极端性，在陕西河南部分地区，夜间最低气温也可能打破纪录。比如西安，明晨32℃如果实现，将在本轮高温中，把最高、最低气温纪录均打破。此外，重庆未来3天还将持续40℃以上。而且明后两天高温核心区南落，明天武汉39℃、长沙39℃、成都38℃、后天重庆41℃、长沙40℃、成都39℃将创今年新高。 在如此高强度的高温下，从西北到江南多地，要警惕中暑等健康风险。目前看，17-18日中东部的高温强度以及范围会稍有缩减，但19日高温可能再次发展增多。7月20日才入伏，看看会不会出现最强高温，不在三伏当中的情况。|publisher=weatherman_信欣 on Weibo |language = zh-hans | access-date = 16 July 2025 |title=Sina
