Why did Nanchang become the capital of Jiangxi Province instead of Jiujiang, which has an obviously superior geographical location?

From various aspects, it has the following advantages:

Topographically, Nanchang is located in the center of the largest plain in Jiangxi Province. The infrastructure in the plain is not affected by the terrain. The impact can be said to be that the transportation is more convenient, which is conducive to radiating the whole province. Nanchang is also close to Yanghu Lake, which is now the largest freshwater lake in China. The plain water source is a necessity for urban development.

Jiujiang’s superior location should be due to its port advantage on the Yangtze River. However, Nanchang’s water transportation can enter the Yangtze River through the Gan River. Jiujiang’s water transportation advantage does not leave Nanchang far behind. ?

The urban area of ??Jiujiang can be said to be very small. The central urban area is in Xunyang District. To the south of Lushan District is the Lushan Mountains. The terrain is rugged to the east, close to Poyang Lake, and to the west is Bali Lake and Xianghu Lake. Under the influence of the epidemic, traffic only relies on the narrow strip of Bali Lake in the picture, and the city cannot achieve a large span. Even if it can, if the city wants to make a big stride to the west, the traffic pressure on this section can be said to be very heavy.

The plains north of the Yangtze River are under the jurisdiction of Xiaochi Town in Hubei Province. The big cities along the Yangtze River, whether Wuhan or Nanjing, are developing across the river. The urban framework can be stretched very large, but Jiujiang cannot. . If the provincial capital is located in Jiujiang, Jiujiang is too close to Wuhan, and Jiujiang's geographical factors are not as good as Wuhan.

There is no doubt that the central city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River must still be Wuhan. In addition, for Jiangxi, the provincial capital is far in the north, and it has not been able to bring much help to the cities in the province.

In addition, in terms of culture, Jiujiang dialect is a dialect popular in Jiujiang City, Jiujiang County, Lushan District, Ruichang City and other areas. The northern dialect Jianghuai Mandarin area does not belong to Jieyu. Personally I feel that Jiujiang dialect is very similar to Hubei dialect and Nanchang dialect is a representative dialect.
