Tell me about these three cities.

During the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen put forward his own ideas on the location of the capital. He said:

The headquarters is Wuchang, the military uniform is Xi 'an, and the continent is Yili ... 。

That is to say, in Sun Yat-sen's consideration, there are three good cities that can be used as the capital, one is Wuchang in Wuhan, the other is Xi 'an, and there is another one that no one may have thought of, and that is "Ili" in Xinjiang. Among them, Wuchang, as one of the three towns in Wuhan, became famous with Wuhan after the "strong man broke his wrist" in 2020.

Although these three cities did not become capitals in the end, they did have their unique "advantages" under Sun Yat-sen's analysis. Let's talk about these three cities that Sun Yat-sen likes first.

1, ask Wuchang headquarters about the location of the capital. 1902, Sun Yat-sen and Zhang Taiyan said this sentence:

Wuchang is good at cultivating the great river and going to Baoshan in the east. Four days is enough to lose ... Xiangfan in the north, Fuhe Xiong in the town, and the railway layout, but it is also reasonable to go to the Great Wall. Those who refuse to wait are poor, Jinling is short, and Wuchang wins.

"Planning headquarters is Wuchang" is an evaluation given by Sun Yat-sen. ..

I want to develop myself. Wuchang is a good choice.

Wuchang, one of the mountain cities in Wuhan, forms a "tripartite confrontation" with Hankou and Hanyang.

As for Wuchang in Wuhan, it is surrounded by mountains and waters and has a superior geographical position. At the same time, it is also the hinterland of the Central Plains, with the advantage of thoroughfare of nine provinces, and it is also the first place for the provincial capital to win in the Revolution of 1911. Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that Sun Yat-sen chose Wuchang as a candidate for the capital of the Republic of China.

As for why Sun Yat-sen thinks that "planning headquarters is Wuchang", one of the reasons may be that he likes the advantage of "thoroughfare of nine provinces" here, and under the geographical advantage extending in all directions, it is doomed that the development of Wuchang will not be bad, and the economic and cultural development here will be the highest in all provinces and cities in China.

However, at that time, because of the Qing army in Jiangbei and the unfavorable war in Hanyang, the military situation in Wuchang and even Hubei was urgent. Later, Jiangsu and Zhejiang allied forces conquered Nanjing, and the provisional government of the Republic of China was located in Nanjing.

Although it missed the capital, the later development of Wuhan did follow Sun Yat-sen's guess and became a famous metropolis in China and even the world. In 2020, the "courage" of Wuhan people, the strong man broke his wrist, also touched people all over the country and even the world.

2.Xi 'an is the policy of seeking unification, and Yili is the policy of seeking continent. Except Wuchang, Xi 'an and Yili all appeared in Sun Yat-sen's vision about the location of the capital of the Republic of China.

Regarding Xi 'an, Sun Yat-sen thought that "seeking a suit is Xi 'an".

In the history of China for thousands of years, many emperors made a fortune in Xi 'an. At the same time, the water and soil here are suitable for farming, and the development of agriculture is not inferior to that of the south. Because the land is connected with Hu Qiang, the border is relatively easy to manage.

In other words, because of its geographical advantages, Xi 'an basically doesn't have to worry about any natural disasters, as long as people work hard. At the same time, because it is close to the border and wants to make the border stable and obedient, then Xi' an is a good place.

In addition to Xi 'an, Sun Yat-sen also mentioned Ili in Xinjiang.

Some people may think that Xi 'an and Wuchang are excusable as the "candidate places" of Sun Yat-sen's Republic of China capital, and people may not understand why they chose "Ili".

However, we need to understand that those who achieve great things often do not just look at the present, but have a "long-term plan."

Regarding Ili, Sun Yat-sen thought that "Ili is the highest in the continent".

In other words, if you want to expand your territory and dominate one side, you can choose "Ili" because:

"He made Xianbei in the east and Wulaling in the west, and he will also make Ili. If the husband is in midsummer, why is he in the corner? Solid and inclusive, to match the emperor. The railway belongs to the south, so it is not difficult to transfer. In less than ten years, Du Yi Lane has become an article. "

In other words, Yili has a trend of all-inclusive, and transportation can rely on railways. There is room for expansion in both the east and the west. Generally speaking, Ili is a good place to "seek great prosperity".

3. In development, where is the standard answer? No matter where Sun Yat-sen set the capital of the Republic of China, no matter what the result, it is not difficult to see that the three cities that Sun Yat-sen once selected have their own characteristics, and the selection of each city has Sun Yat-sen's reasons.

Among these reasons, we can easily see a feature of "foresight", that is, the flexibility of "keeping pace with the times".

According to the three stages of development, Sun Yat-sen chose three cities, one is "seeking headquarters", the other is "seeking service" and the other is "seeking continent". In other words, there is no "standard answer" for him to choose the capital of the Republic of China, only the best choice under what "goal" or "general trend".

Taking history as a mirror, modern people look back at history. Even if none of Sun Yat-sen's favorite cities has become the capital, we can still get relevant enlightenment from this anecdote: those who achieve great things should have the flexibility of "keeping pace with the times" and "sizing up the situation". After all, where is the standard answer in development?
