Isn’t the ancient capital Jinling a treasure land of Feng Shui? Why were there so many short-lived dynasties that established their capitals here?

Short-lived dynasty capital: Nanjing

Sichuan Mei

Many cities in China were used by emperors to build capitals, such as Beijing, Xi'an, and Luoyang , Kaifeng, Chengdu, etc. All cities that have been built as capitals have their special historical status, either because of politics, military, or economy, and have become famous cities in China. No matter in terms of time, location, and people, these cities are inevitable and destined by history. There is no choice.

They must accompany China’s emperors and accompany China’s history.

Among these cities that have had glorious history as capitals, one city is quite special. ——That is Nanjing. It has been the capital of ten dynasties in Chinese history. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Chiang Dynasty are included, it has been the capital of twelve dynasties. But among these twelve dynasties, except for one in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which lasted for more than a hundred years, the other dynasties were very short-lived, lasting only a few years or more.

So many dynasties like to establish their capitals here. It can be seen that the city of Nanjing must have its own special features and must be the most suitable for emperors. However, at the same time, the dynasties that established their capitals here were all so short-lived. , it can be seen that it must have some flaws and is not suitable for the emperor. It faces the sea and has the Yangtze River at its back. From the perspective of Feng Shui, it is indeed the land of overlords and kings. In such a city, why were all the dynasties that established their capitals here so short-lived?

This is a problem that historians will not be able to explain clearly in their lifetime.

The human world is very strange. "Princes, generals, and prime ministers, would you rather have your own kind?" No one can tell who will be an emperor and who will not be an emperor when he comes to this world. It's uncertain, but all those who become emperors hope that their unification will be passed down to generations, and that their own family will always be the one in charge, and no other outstanding person will ever appear to take over the country. So according to Feng Shui, you have to look everywhere. If you see a place with a kingly image, you should find a way to break the kingly energy in that place. I read a photo book many years ago. The book mentioned that in the late period of the decisive battle between the Kuomintang and Kuomintang, Mr. Bai Chongxi of the Kuomintang dug up the graveyard of Mao Zedong's family. Naturally, he thought that Mao Zedong was very likely to become emperor. Let’s wait until the king of his family is angry.

It is difficult to say whether this statement is true or not.

Let’s talk about Nanjing later. It has always been a city of outstanding people. In any era, the popularity and kingly aura it generates are obvious. It is said that after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he wanted to pass on his throne to all generations, so he tried every means to destroy all the royal auras in other parts of the country, so that those places where emperors could have been born would no longer have emperors, and they would always belong to the Qin family. The world was under control, so he led his army to patrol the south after the world was at peace. Everywhere he went, if he saw a vague aura of kingship, he would do everything possible to break it. Leaving the Yangtze River from Xi'an and arriving in Nanjing, I found that this place has a strong aura of kings. The alchemists who accompanied the army killed countless dogs and used the dog's blood to destroy all the royal energy in this place. They just broke through one place after another. By the time he was completely relieved, his life had come to an end. And not long after his death, his empire was snatched away by others before he could even reach the end of his life.

These legendary things are just legends and cannot be taken as true. The reason why so many dynasties in Nanjing were so short-lived may not necessarily be because they lost their royal power. Just like Qin Shihuang, although he broke all the kingly spirit in the country, he will still fall. There were many reasons for their downfall during this period. As long as we carefully analyze the history of so many dynasties at that time, it will be clear. Whether it was the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, or the Republic of China, the final reason for their collapse was not due to Feng Shui, but due to a very simple reason, which was a problem that no dynasty in Chinese history could solve - corruption.

Corruption is the most fatal weakness of all short-lived or not short-lived dynasties, and it is insurmountable. No matter how you claim that you are not corrupt, it is just self-deception, and the people can see it clearly. .

It can be seen that the country is really not controlled by the wishful thinking of emperors, and it is not something you can get if you want it forever
