The capital of the Ming Dynasty Where is the capital of the Ming Dynasty?

1. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set the capital at Yingtianfu, which is now Nanjing. After Zhu Di became emperor, he moved the capital to Shuntian Prefecture, which is now Beijing.

2. In the first month of 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor in Nanjing as he wished, founded Hongwu, and changed Nanjing to Yingtian. But Zhu Yuanzhang still had doubts about whether Nanjing's Feng Shui could sustain the Ming Dynasty's ten thousand years of foundation. Those who had their capital here before were all short-lived dynasties, so they were always undecided about where to make their capital. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang always kept the idea of ​​moving the capital in mind was also the Feng Shui reason of Nanjing Palace City.

3. At that time, Liu Ji, a military strategist who was very good at predicting the situation, chose the palace in the northeast corner of the city away from the traditional center of Nanjing, southwest of Jiangshan at that time, far away from the former palace site of the Six Dynasties, so as to be in harmony with the former palace site of the Six Dynasties. The short-lived weather of the Southern Dynasties was mutually exclusive. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang resigned to his fate and failed to move to Beijing. Later, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Beijing and helped Zhu Yuanzhang fulfill his wish.
