In Sun Yat-sen's prediction, which three cities will China move its capital to to dominate Asia?
In modern times, the sunken Qing dynasty was finally overthrown, ending the rule of the feudal dynasty for more than two thousand years. Mr. Sun created this great historical achievement. Even now, whenever Mr. Sun's great achievements are mentioned, people will still admire him. Sun Yat-sen once predicted that if China moved its capital to these three cities, it would dominate Asia! Which three are they? What's special about them?
The most important city in a country is the capital, which also represents the overall image of the country. Not only the center of state power is concentrated in the capital, but also the population and commercial trade have begun to develop after the political prosperity. The capital can be said to be the center of the country, one of the political and cultural centers and one of the economic development centers. The capital of China is Beijing, formerly known as Peiping, which has been the capital of China since the Ming Emperor Judy. Of course, the ancient dynasties chose not only this capital, but also different dynasties. However, for hundreds of years, Beijing has been regarded as the capital.
However, in 1902, Mr. Sun had a very original opinion on the choice of China's capital and had a long discussion with Zhang Taiyan. Unfortunately, under the influence of various factors, his idea did not come true. Mr. Sun once said that if China moved its capital to these three cities, it would be enough to rule Asia. However, this is just his idea. Reality still needs to be considered. Finally, they chose Nanjing as the capital, which is also one of the ancient capitals of China. Its history as the capital must be inherited from Sun Quan.
Of the three cities chosen by Teacher Sun, the first is Wuchang. Wuchang, as the birthplace of revolution, has a very special position for the country, located in the center of eighteen provinces, which is very conducive to controlling the national situation. In addition, the geographical environment is also excellent, with transportation, railways and waterways extending in all directions, and economic and trade exchanges will not be restricted. And Wuchang is far from neighboring countries. Under the severe situation at that time, if Wuchang was chosen as the capital, the invaders could not get in for a while, which can be said to be a natural advantage.
The second city is Yongzhou, which is now Liangzhou, Shaanxi. Liangzhou has been a place with frequent wars since ancient times, and it is also the closest place to ethnic minorities. The two sides can communicate better. Liangzhou is also rich in natural resources. Of course, the output of Liangzhou is far from that of southern cities. But there are many mines here, and if they are mined, the economic benefits will definitely improve.
The third city is Yili, which is located in the westernmost part of China. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, it was named Yili. It can be said that it is one of the poorest places in China, where many ethnic minorities live. At that time, people didn't understand why Mr. Sun chose this way. Before talking about the special geographical location, Yili is very close to Central Asia. In addition, it can also avoid conflicts with western aggressors and consolidate the internal situation. If resources are used for development, the future situation will be prosperous, and then we can continue to focus on leading the development of Asia.
As for Mr. Sun's prediction, its correctness cannot be verified. After all, this is a very important choice. The center of the country's overall appearance can be said to be located in the capital. Liu Yong wrote in the book "Looking at the Tide of the Sea": "The shape of the southeast will win, and Wu Sandu will. Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. " The poet's yearning and love for the city arises spontaneously, which is also the national pride that people in every country will feel spontaneously, and so are people now.
