One city is the ancient capital of the Ten Dynasties. It was once rejected by Qin Shihuang. Why did its status rise sharply?

This place is Nanjing, which is the ancient Jinling. At that time, Qin Shihuang suspected that Jinling had too much land spirit, which would affect the fortune of the whole country, but he couldn't let it go, so he renamed it Moling. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang called Nanjing Yingtianfu, which made Nanjing's status rise gradually. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he heard about the kingliness of Jinling, so he felt very upset, and he also found the kingliness in the southeast at that time. So at that time, Qin Shihuang sent many metaphysical masters to study how to solve this problem. At that time, a metaphysical master knew history very well and told Qin Shihuang the story of the king of Chu. At that time, in order to make Qin exist for a longer time, he changed the name of Nanjing and changed Jinling to Moling? . This name is very humble, and Qin Shihuang hoped to cover the emperor's spirit in Nanjing in this way.

But Qin Shihuang thought this method was still unsafe, so he wanted to destroy the atmosphere of Nanjing by digging a river. In this way, we can avoid the anger of the son of heaven in Nanjing from overwhelming the whole country. It is said that as long as the water of Qinhuai River passed through Nanjing at that time, it would cut off the royal spirit possessed by Nanjing. The geographical location of Nanjing is an auspicious place where mountains and rivers meet, and Nanjing is surrounded by mountains, which has nurtured a lot of clear air between heaven and earth. There is a Qingliang Mountain in Nanjing, which was also called Baoshan by Feng Shui experts at that time. The shape of this Qingliang Mountain is tiger-shaped. Even at that time, Zhuge Liang was shocked by the shape of the mountain after seeing it, and sighed that this mountain was the mountain where the emperor lived. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang changed Nanjing to Yingtianfu. There are many articles about the origin of this name. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that the emperor's spirit in Nanjing should not be suppressed but needed to be borrowed. It was because Zhu Yuanzhang renamed the city at that time that he taught people a truth, that is, to conform to the laws of nature. That is, after the monarch played a leading role, people gradually changed this view of Nanjing City. In ancient times, people thought that the existence of Nanjing would not make this country last long, but in fact, this method of feudal superstition has no scientific basis.
