With its capital in the north, why did successive dynasties "have a soft spot" for the north?

Why did China build its capital in the north in ancient times?

There were many dynasties in ancient China, each with its own characteristics. Of course, many people are also talking about the characteristics of ancient dynasties. In fact, no matter Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties or Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, many dynasties have a common feature, that is, many ancient capitals of China are in the north. We all say that a capital is the core of a dynasty, such as Beijing now, which is the political and cultural center of China. Why do so many super girls like to put their capital in the north? Is it because the north is richer? Or is it because the south is not suitable for building a capital? Let's look at the details!

In fact, when it comes to this issue, we should start thinking from the following aspects.

First of all, because of geomantic omen, we all know that the ancients attached great importance to geomantic omen, that is to say, we need to choose the capital city, and we will definitely choose the land of geomantic omen, so as to protect our dynasty from collapse, and we all know that the terrain and altitude in the north are generally high. Therefore, in many people's minds, height is the symbol of Long Mai, so many people will choose to build their capital at the height of the north. Just like the Forbidden City now, it is a good proof.

Secondly, in order to meet the needs of combat at that time, ancient wars were frequent. Under such circumstances, many monarchs hope to choose a good place to fight, so that when the war comes, they will not panic. Then at that time, the economic level in the north was actually higher than that in the south, because a large number of farmland in the south had not been reclaimed and the population had been migrating, so the economy was not as good as that in the north, and the fighting capacity was naturally not as good as that in the north.

The third point is defense ability. As the capital, it is natural to consider defense capabilities. After all, once the war starts, if the defense ability is not good, it will soon be besieged, and it is possible to be occupied and lose the dynasty. So choosing the capital is to choose some places that are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and many places in the north are very suitable for fighting. Because of the higher terrain in the north, there are more mountains.

The fourth point is a homeopathy at that time. Why do you say that? The first reason is traffic. At that time, the traffic in the north was better than that in the south. In terms of water conservancy, although there are plenty of water resources in the south, it is necessary to prevent floods, but the north is very hidden. In ancient dynasties, most of them were Han Chinese, so it was logical to build the capital according to the Yellow River basin. So we also said. Han culture originated in the Yellow River Basin.
