Shenyang is located at the junction of Liaodong and western Liaoning, Liaodong Peninsula and Northeast Plain, with convenient transportation and important strategic position, and is a place where many cultures meet. Geologically, Shenyang is dominated by plains, and the southwest belongs to alluvial plains, with flat terrain and fertile land, which is suitable for developing agriculture. The geographical location of Shenyang, as a base for marching into the Central Plains, is a more suitable choice than the former Liaoyang City. Moreover, Shenyang has a history of more than 2,000 years and is one of the earliest cities in Northeast China. For a long time, the function of cities is mainly military defense.
The reason why Nurhachi moved to the capital this time must have its political, economic, transportation and other strategic considerations, but it is undeniable that there is also the influence of "Feng Shui Theory". If you talk about strategy, it proves that Nurhachi's talent is broad; If we say "Feng Shui", Shenyang does have its unique geographical advantages.
This geographical advantage was described by the ancients as a mysterious "geomantic theory", which not only Nurhachi believed, but also ordinary people believed. But no matter what consideration Nurhachi had, his move to the capital laid the foundation for the further development of the late Jin Dynasty.
Today, Shenyang has developed from an ancient capital with a long history into the political, economic and cultural center of the three northeastern provinces. I have to say, perhaps this is the result of Nurhachi's move to Shenyang, which made Shenyang enter the historical stage and gradually developed.
