Why did the Qing Dynasty ban Changbai Mountain for more than 200 years? What secret is hidden in this?
The first is the protection of the birthplace of the nation, the second is the protection of the "Longxing Land", and the third is the impact of the ban on the protection of the "treasure" of Changbai Mountain
The Qing Dynasty started in 1644 In 1860, Changbai Mountain was sealed and heavily guarded. There are various theories about the sealing of the mountain, including the treasure theory and the strategic location theory. If we say the truth, it is superstition.
Since the Qing Dynasty took over the Central Plains, they did not think it was because of the corruption of the Ming Dynasty or the bloody battlefields of the three armies. They thought it was because their dragon veins had appeared. This dragon vein was Changbai Mountain. At that time Some people say that the descendants of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty have seen through this and have figured out a way to destroy the dragon veins. That is to drive three iron rods into three places in Changbai Mountain. The dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed, and the national destiny will follow. decay.
The Qing government was very frightened when they heard the news, but they did not know where these three places were, so they had no choice but to defend them comprehensively. The Tianchi in Changbai Mountain is the focus of protection. The Qing government believes that dragons cannot live without water. The water in Tianchi is the financial source of the Qing government. Once the financial resources are exhausted, the dragon has the power to reach the sky, but it will be difficult to display it.
Although the Qing government clung to Changbai Mountain for more than 200 years, it could not escape the fate of destruction in the end. Why? Because they forgot that the people are the real water. The later Qing government compromised externally, suppressed internally, and corrupted officials. There are corrupt officials all over the government and the public, and the common people are miserable. Such a government, even if it can save the dragon's veins, cannot save the country.
Therefore, the theory of dragon veins is nothing but a charlatan, deceiving himself and others. If there is a wise monarch who can not forget his original intention, govern the country according to the law, treat the people well, and govern the country with a selfless mentality, if this is the case, the country will be stable for a long time, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the king will leave his name in history.
Let’s talk about Changbai Mountain first. Changbai Mountain has been one of the holy mountains in myths and legends since ancient times. The history of language and writing can be traced back to more than 4,000 years. Changbai Mountain is called "Shan Hai Jing" Bu Xian Mountain, the Immortal Mountain. Historically speaking, the Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty had regarded Changbai Mountain as their birthplace, and often worshiped it for the prosperity of the country. In the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi led his troops to invade the Central Plains, so with that The established Qing Dynasty always regarded Changbai Mountain as the birthplace of the holy ancestors and revered Changbai Mountain as the god of Changbai Mountain.
From ancient times to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, both racial beliefs and the natural landscapes of sacred mountains, holy waters, strange forests, and fairy fruits created by the uncanny workmanship of nature have gradually established the status of Changbai Mountain as a sacred mountain.
Therefore, Changbai Mountain has always been shrouded in mystery, including the walking thousand-year-old ginseng, the Tianchi water monster, the dragon incident, and even the place where the brother in the best-selling novel Tomb Robbers finally disappeared is also the Changbai Mountain Bronze Behind the door, due to historical reasons and unique natural conditions, Changbai Mountain has become many secret resting places.
As for why the Qing Dynasty banned Changbai Mountain for more than 200 years, there are only the following reasons. The Emperor's Divine Power
The Changbai Mountains are the highest mountains in Northeast Asia. They have the largest volcanic lake in my country and the deepest inland lake in the world. As the first sacred mountain in Northeast Asia, Changbai Mountains have been the destination of many nomadic peoples in the north since ancient times. sacred mountain.
Aixinjueluo banned Changbai Mountain because Changbai Mountain is the place where dragons thrive. From the perspective of Feng Shui, Changbai Mountain is the largest hidden dragon vein in the world. It is called the sea dragon. Since ancient times, the feudal dynasty has The dragon veins are extremely important. There were previous examples of Qin Shihuang digging up the dragon veins in Nanjing in order to rule for eternity.
At that time, in order to protect the country's prosperity and protect the dragon veins to the greatest extent, Changbai Mountain was closed to prevent the Han or other nomadic people from getting involved. It can be regarded as a strengthening of the concept of imperial power and heavenly right. After all, if the rulers of that era proved that they were the right emperor through various means, the resistance to their rule would be much lower.
Family considerations
It’s not surprising that the Eight Banners disciples at that time were far from as powerful as imagined, or unstoppable. It was easy to conquer the world but difficult to conquer the world. The Qing army counted more than 200,000 people when they entered the pass. If the population base is used to rule the larger Han population, no matter how powerful the ruler is, he will leave a way out for the family.
So in fact, the Qing Dynasty banned not just Changbai Mountain, but most of the Northeast. The Northeast is rich in products, animal and plant resources. The most famous Changbai Mountain ginseng could be sold for more than 20 taels per pound in the Qing Dynasty. , enough for a family to live for several years, so once it loses power, the whole family retreats to the northeast, and the base camp cannot be lost.
Strategically speaking, the Northeast is close to Outer Mongolia and North Korea, and its strategic location is very important. In order to prevent the Han people from colluding with outsiders to affect the rule, it was simply built into a military powerhouse to make it safer.
For the Manchus at that time, Changbai Mountain and the Northeast region were of vital importance. Whether it was the Longxing land in Feng Shui, or a strategic defensive place, or for racial survival considerations, Changbai Mountain was banned. And most of the Northeast region, it can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone.
After the Jurchens entered the customs, they enshrined a large area of land in the Northeast as the "Longxing Land". They closed the mountains to cultivate forests, built fences and walls, and sent people to guard them. Anyone who crossed the border to cut firewood and cultivate land would be imprisoned and beheaded.
Originally, Jilin and Heilongjiang in the northeast and the vast area north of Heilongjiang and east of the Ussuri River, which is now Russian territory, were sparsely populated. In addition, the Jurchens had all entered the customs, and there were basically no human settlements here. .
Tsarist Russia in the north took this opportunity to slowly covet, encroach, and devour large tracts of our Chinese land. From the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk" to the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing", 1.5 million square kilometers of China's land was occupied.
Tsarist Russia’s invasion of large areas of China’s land is related to the Manchu Qing government’s mountain-closing policy. Just imagine, if there were a large number of Chinese people here in the Wusuli River in Heilongjiang, Tsarist Russia would not dare to invade and seize large areas of China’s land at will.
About 25 years ago, I went to Tianchi as a tourist in the winter. The ice on the ground was one foot thick. Looking at the mountains, they all come from the former site of the crater. ……
