Feng Shui, the Capital of History

Why is Nanjing in history not suitable for building a capital? Nanjing is the ancient capital of ten dynasties in the history of China. However, eight of them were either separated or partial to the southern regime. When China was reunified, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was also in Beijing. So why is it difficult for Nanjing to become a unified dynasty?

As can be seen from the map, the conditions in Nanjing are very good, and there are two big granaries in Suzhou and Huzhou around Nanjing. It is not difficult to establish a capital separatist party in this place, but it is very difficult to achieve an imperial industry and a country in this place. Then why? 1937 Nanjing Defence War is a good proof that the corner dynasty of Nanjing could not get rid of the short nightmare of the Southern Dynasties.

The terrain of China is generally high in the north and low in the south, and the Northern Expedition is equivalent to last stand, which makes the enemies who attack the mountains very uncomfortable. The flat terrain in the north is suitable for large-scale cavalry fighting, while the warm and humid climate and hilly terrain in the south are not suitable for raising horses, so the south is less likely to be attacked. It is inconvenient for the capital of the Ming Dynasty to build its capital in the south. There are many wars in the north, and Mongolia is eyeing it. In the event of war in the north, as a centralized country, such a big event must be decided by the court.

The traffic conditions at that time were so bad that it was difficult to respond at that distance. Outside the coast, other races are also threatened. The strategic depth of this land from the southeast coast to Nanjing is very small, and the terrain is not undulating. Compared with other places, there are no difficulties and obstacles to defend. Therefore, even if political power is established here, it will inevitably be captured by the enemy. ?
