Why did all dynasties in history choose Nanjing as their capital?

Nanjing, Beijing, Luoyang and Xi are also called the four ancient capitals of China. In the history books, the dynasties with the capital in the north often chose Nanjing as the capital. Why?

The premise of China's modern capital location.

The premise of the location of the ancient capital of China is:

(1) should be built in economically prosperous and affluent areas to maintain the material needs of the ruling group; (2) The geographical location in the middle of the world or the premise of convenient transportation should be chosen to facilitate the implementation of the four major laws and control internal and external affairs; ③ We should choose the natural premise that risks can be defended, so that it will not be destroyed by external forces and the country will have long-term stability.

The reason for establishing Nanjing as the capital

Nanjing is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the southeast of China, bordering the fertile Yangtze River Delta in the east, Ningzhen hills in the south, Anhui and Jiangxi mountainous areas in the west and Jianghuai Plain in the north. Known as the "southeast gateway, north and south throat." Nanjing has become the preferred capital city in the north for the following reasons:

(1) is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the surrounding Jiangnan area has enjoyed economic prosperity since ancient times;

(2) Relying on the Yangtze River, it is convenient to transport by land;

(3) The surrounding low mountains are winding, and the natural appearance is the same. There is the Shanxi section of Ningzhen in the territory. If Zhongshan in the east of the city is long and tortuous, and the rocky mountain in the west is like a tiger, there is a saying that "Zhongshan is long and tortuous, and Shicheng is surrounded by tigers".

The geographical environment of Nanjing is the most important reason why it has become the capital.

Capital of ten dynasties

Nanjing is a famous city with a history of more than 2400 years. After the state of Chu destroyed Yue in 333 BC, it built a city on the mountain, named Jinling City, which was called Jinling in ancient times.

In 229 AD, Sun Quan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, established the capital here, and the capitals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties were successively established, hence the name "the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties".

Later, the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty (Hongwunian), the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Republic of China all established their capitals here. Nanjing is known as the "Six Dynasties Resort, All Ten Dynasties".

The glory of the Republic of China

"One Nandu, half the history of the Republic of China" has always been regarded as the capital of the Republic of China, and all aspects of Nandu are deeply branded with the civilization of the Republic of China. Nanjing, built during the Republic of China, as a landscape in Nandu and a thorn in the side of all urban civilizations, has become a characteristic civilization of Nanjing.

The sites such as Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Linggu Temple, Meiling Palace and Music Station on the Purple Mountain tell the history books of the past.

Morning rush hour, why bother?

This morning, my friend's car just reached a traffic light and met a beggar. He offered 10, and he wouldn't leave until he gave the money? My friend is also very awesome, so he stayed with him when he put out the fire, regardless of the horns of dozens of cars behind him. After two minutes, the shouting in the car behind became louder and louder. The beggar left with a red face, leaving a sentence: I can't afford to lose this person if you are shameless!
