Dynasties and dynasties have been a major event, which is related to the safety of the society. Since the Three Kingdoms period, there have been six dynasties before and after the Dingdu of Nanjing. The longest 102 years, the shortest is only 23 years, so many people have come to the conclusion that the capital of Nanjing has become a short-lived dynasty.
You know, there is a Yangtze River graben in front of Nanjing, and there is a dragon and tiger golden mountain behind it, which is supposed to be a very good place, why would it cause such a situation?
On this issue, we can analyze it from three aspects. Respectively, the geographical location of Nanjing, the property resources, and the high-level functions of the six dynasties that are set to be here.
First of all, Nanjing's geographical location is not good. Since a country is set to be here, it must take into account defense and retreat. Although there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River here, it is not easy to really defend. The northern army that can conscript good war can go straight south from the East China Plain to the riverside, and when the war horses roar and the soldiers meet each other, the Jiangshan Sheji will be in vain.
Compared with the "East and West Two Capitals", Nanjing is still a lot worse. East of Luoyang, there are hills lined with passes, as well as Tiger Prison Pass and Xuanyuan Pass, and the insurmountable mountain barrier is a natural guarantee. The two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang can echo each other, and they can attack and retreat, and they have advantages in the use of resources and the skillful use of divine soldiers. In contrast, Nanjing has only one Yangtze River, and it is really difficult to keep the capital.
Secondly, after the capital nanjing, you can sit on the rich Jiangnan, which is known as the "land of fish and rice". As the earliest region developed in Jiangnan, it is rich in products and economic prosperity. Coupled with the humid climate, the beautiful scenery is very suitable for living and pleasure, so it is very easy to produce laziness.
After the capital was set in Nanjing, the dignitaries of the dynasties began a comfortable life, buying a large number of family properties, and behind the glory and wealth, they wanted to enjoy the happiness of heaven. How can a rich life in a remote corner withstand the onslaught of powerful enemies? Once there is no longer the idea of thinking of danger in times of peace, going to the battlefield will only destroy the decay and make birds and beasts scatter.
Finally, looking at the rulers of these dynasties in The capital Nanjing, the State of Wu is relatively good, the Eastern Jin Dynasty internal open strife and secret struggle, the power of the warrior clan is rampant, fighting for power and profit; those literati and scholars are intoxicated, and there is also the phenomenon of monopolizing power and killing the king, so that it is strange that the dynasty can last for a long time, and the others are similar.
In the age of cold weapons, war horses are an important resource. Compared with the north, the difference between the south and the north is too big. Because the south is not suitable for breeding horses, and there is a lack of horses, this also leads to the military and civilians are not good at riding and fighting, whether it is defending the city or attacking, they are at a disadvantage. After all, there is no weapon of war, and everywhere is passive.
To say that the only time to occupy the advantage may be the end of the Yuan and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, because the Northern Army was sluggish and had been riding for a long time, so the Ming Army won the victory. Looking at these six dynasties, 69 years of Eastern Wu, 102 years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, 59 years of the Song Dynasty, 23 years of Qi, 55 years of Liang, and 32 years of Chen, it seems that they really confirm this conclusion: the dynasties that have set the capital nanjing are not long-lasting, and can also be said to be short-lived dynasties.
But it is not possible to study history in this way, at least not objectively. Because in China's long historical changes, not only the dynasties in Nanjing, which have a short period of time, but if you want to intercept the dynasties that have fixed the capitals of Xi'an and Luoyang for a period of time, you will also find that they are short-lived dynasties, which is a loophole and is not strict in thinking.
Dynasties changed frequently, wars raged year after year, and except for a few dynasties that created great unification, the rest of the dynasties were actually very short-lived. When studying this topic, many people may have overlooked one important point: the economy.
Just as the so-called economic base determines the superstructure, the economy is developed, and the country's comprehensive strength will rise to a new level. Only then can we vigorously develop all walks of life, and can we quickly realize the management and formulation of the way to govern the country.
For a long time, the South was not the economic center of gravity of the country, while the North was different, economically and politically more developed than the South. It was not until the Song Dynasty that China's economic center of gravity shifted to the south, which was difficult to compete with the north.
For example, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were both long-lived dynasties, and although the Ming Dynasty moved its capital later, Nanjing laid a stable foundation. What do you think about the claim that the dynasties in The capital Nanjing have become short-lived dynasties?
