This issue of Feng Shui Bao takes you to know.

There are mountains in the north and plains in the south.

Beijing is the capital of People's Republic of China (PRC). It has a history of more than 3,000 years, and the descendants of Zhou Wuwang Yao Feng once lived here. At that time, it was called Qiu Ji and later became the capital of Yan State. The Liao Dynasty took Beijing as its capital and called Yanjing. The Jin Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing in 1 153, and changed its name to Zhongdu, which has since become the political center of the whole country. The Yuan Dynasty took Beijing as its capital, and built Beijing according to the principle of "the former dynasty followed the city, and the left ancestor followed the right society", which laid the scale of Beijing.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, its capital was Yingtian (now Nanjing). In order to kill the imperial spirit of the Yuan Dynasty, the palaces of the Yuan Dynasty were demolished and the north wall moved south. In order to reflect the core position of imperial power, Ming Taizu Chengzu moved the central axis of the city to the east by150m, and all the newly-built palaces were located on the central axis, and a Jingshan Mountain was built to the north of the line, so as to suppress the residual kingship of the Yuan Dynasty and ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, Beijing was still the capital, and the Ditan, Ritan and Moon Altar were built for sacrifice. There are Temple of Heaven in the south of Beijing, Ditan in the north, Ritan in the east and Moon in the west, representing Qiansu Zhaku, HouXuanwu, Zuoqinglong and Youbai Lake respectively.

Beijing has always been a military town and political center, which is related to its geographical location. It is located between North China Plain, Northwest Mongolia Plateau and Northeast Songliao Plain, bordering Yanshan Mountains in the north, Inner Mongolia Desert and Gobi Desert in the northwest, Taihang Mountain in the southwest, North China Plain in the south and Bohai Bay in the east. Liaodong Peninsula and Jiaodong Peninsula surround the Bohai Sea and become a barrier to defend Beijing. Beijing is bordered by mountains in the north and controlled by plains in the south. It is located between Beijing small plain, Huanghuaihai great plain in the south and mountainous areas in the north, which is bound to attract the attention of the ancient philosophers.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian aristocrat Batunnan strongly recommended Beijing to Kublai Khan. "Yuan Shi Batulu" records Batunan: "The land of secluded swallows is surrounded by dragons and tigers, and the situation is magnificent, with Jianghuai in the south and Shuomo in the north. And the son of heaven must be in the middle to accept worship from all directions. If Wang wants to rule the world and stay in the country, it must be Yan. " So Kublai Khan decided to make its capital in Yan.

After Ming Huidi was driven away by Ming Chengzu in the battle of Jingnan, he didn't want to go to Nanjing to be emperor, but wanted to stay in Beijing. Because Beijing is his fief (called Yanjing), Longgan has a lot of business here. His courtiers agreed that he should do whatever he wants.

The Record of Emperor Taizong of Ming Dynasty records the humble opinion of ministers: "It is enough to control four foreigners and the world and become the capital of emperors in past dynasties." People in the Ming Dynasty generally believed that it was wise to make Beijing the capital.

There is a saying in Shun Tian Zhi compiled during the Wanli period: "Yan Huanhai is a pool, holding Taihang Mountain as a danger, staying in the middle to control the outside, helping the river to lift weights to make light, the east and west tribute roads come to various countries, the northwest customs are strong on nine sides, the imperial power is strong for thousands of years, and the public security lasts forever."

Due to the rapid industrialization, urbanization and unbalanced development in modern times, nearly180 thousand people have gathered, and the groundwater level in Beijing is accelerating. The Yongding River has been cut off for many years, and Beijing has become a water-deficient and relatively dry area in northern China. So feng shui is not as good as before.
