From the perspective of geomantic omen, what are the advantages of choosing Beijing as the capital?
Beijing is located in the northern part of North China Plain, at the intersection of plain and mountainous area, and at the crossroads of traffic. Taihang Mountain and Xishan Gong Wei are in the west of Beijing, and Taihang Mountain and Dujun Mountain are in the north of Beijing, forming a semicircular mountain bay. The famous Belon Yanshan Mountain is a natural barrier in the northeast of Beijing. Taihang Mountain is in the west of Beijing and Yanshan Mountain is in the northwest of Beijing. These mountains are all above 1000 meters above sea level and have "potential"; There are Bohai Sea in the east, Yellow River in the south and Hebei Plain in the middle, forming a topographic pattern with mountains as the back and water system as the front. Its strategic significance is equally important. Juyongguan and Shanhaiguan can be used to lock and control the northeast, overlooking the Central Plains and eyeing the Jianghuai area.
Beijing is built at the intersection of Taihang Mountain and Yanshan Mountain, at the top of the alluvial fan plain of Yongding River between Yongding River and Chaobai River, spanning foothills, plains and hills, bordering the ancient ferry of Yongding River and the big river in the south.
Taihang Mountain runs from north to south, and Yanshan Mountain twists and turns, just like two dragons guarding the capital. Chaobai River and Wenyu River in the east, Yongding River and Xiaoqing River in the west, winding around the city from northwest to southeast. The majestic Sanggan River roared with a lot of sediment from the Loess Plateau, and joined the Yanghe River from the Mongolian grassland to form the mighty Yongding River in Beijing.
Beijing is surrounded by mountains in the north, west and northeast, forming a natural barrier, guarding this extraordinary ancient cultural capital. Beijing is bordered by Juyongguan in the north, Taihang Mountain in the right and the sea in the left, and its geographical position is very dangerous.
Of the six ancient capitals of China, Beijing, Nanjing, Xi, Luoyang, Kaifeng and Hangzhou, only Beijing meets the requirements of "taking the front and relying on the back", and the other five overall situations are not as good as Beijing.
