Nanjing, formerly known as Jinling, is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization. When I arrived in old Zhu Jianguo, it had a civilization history of more than 7,000 years, a city history of more than 2,500 years and a capital history of nearly 500 years. Now, among China's four ancient capitals (Xi, Luoyang, Beijing and Nanjing), Nanjing is the only one that has never been the capital of an alien regime, and is regarded as a place for the revival of the Han nationality. Has a special position in history.

Especially when the world was in chaos at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the gentry of the Central Plains also fled south, and the Central Plains regime also moved south. In the words of Guan Vietnam. That is, the gentry and literati avoided the chaos in the south and landed in Nanjing and its vicinity to take root. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Si Marui, the emperor of Jin and Yuan Dynasties, crossed the river to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with its capital as Jiankang (now Nanjing).

Don? An Shi rebellion? Later, scholars from the Central Plains fled to Jinling (now Nanjing) and established the Southern Tang Dynasty.

In the history of China, the capital was established three times, and it was put in Nanjing twice. (In the Southern Song Dynasty, Du Nan, Guan Yi made Hangzhou its capital).

This enabled Jinling to preserve rich China culture, which obviously moved Lao Zhu.

Compared with other cities that Lao Zhu likes, Nanjing has a unique geographical position.

1356, when Lao Zhu repaired Nanjing City, the building standard of Nanjing Ming Palace was built according to the palace standard. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Nanjing was located in the southeast, which was not conducive to the northwest border defense. He also had the idea of building Fengyang as its capital, Beijing as its capital, and Kaifeng as its capital, but they were all abandoned because of their geographical location and fame.

In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhu was in his heyday. After the old country, Lao Zhu fell in love with antique An, and came up with the idea of moving the capital to An, and planned and publicized it. Zhu Biao, a sedate prince, was specially sent to Shaanxi to prepare for moving the capital. Zhu Biao worked hard for this. After visiting all the mountains and rivers in Shaanxi, he presented a map of Shaanxi. Unfortunately, he died young soon, and this matter ran aground.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, the northern frontier was seriously affected. If the capital is located in the frontier, it is obviously not conducive to the stability of the regime.

Nanjing is located in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a land of plenty, and cold and famine can't threaten the capital; As a foreign invasion, nomadic people are far away. From north to south, there is an endless Qianshan Mountain as a barrier, which is relatively safe. Its capital is here, and its tax revenue is also guaranteed.

3. Judging from China's ancient geomantic theory (that is, geomantic omen, commonly known as geomantic omen, is a mysterious art with a long history), Nanjing is surrounded by dragons and dragons, and has the spirit of Jingling kingly way! Lao Zhu likes this.

Jinling is the most elegant nickname of Nanjing. As early as 333 BC, Chu Weiwang Xiong Shang built Jinling City in Stone Town, hence the name of Jinling.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan also established his capital here, making Jinling a prosperous city. The Yellow River culture has dyed the Yangtze River basin and the whole southern China red, becoming the political, economic and cultural center of southern China.

During the Six Dynasties, the registered permanent residence in Jinling reached 280,000, with a total population of over one million. At that time, Jinling was the first city in the world with a population of over one million!

Therefore, after careful consideration, Lao Zhu put the capital in Nanjing, which can be described as a discerning eye!
