Why did you choose Beijing as the geographical issue of the capital?

First of all, it is close to the Soviet Union, so the capital is located in the north; Then why not in the northeast or northwest? As long as you look at the map, you will find that Beijing is located in the north of the North China Plain and the Yanshan Mountains are in the north of Beijing, protecting the back of Beijing like an innate wall. If you want to attack Beijing by land from the north, you can only take Shanhaiguan, and you only need to guard Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao and Jinzhou, so Beijing is very safe. There are many plains in the northeast, which are suitable for large-scale tank clusters in the Soviet Union and unsafe. The northwest is too desolate and barren to set the capital there. Therefore, the central government decided to make Beijing its capital.

When new China was founded, Beijing was chosen as the capital of new China for the following reasons: Nanjing was too close to the southeast coast, which was a great defect from the international situation at that time; Xi 'an, its defect is too western. Now the territory of China is not what it was in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At that time, the Great Wall was the border. Now that the Great Wall is located in the hinterland of China, Xi no longer has the central feature of geographical location. From an economic point of view, the eastern coast and the south of the Yangtze River have obvious advantages over the northwest inland, so Xi 'an should not be chosen as the capital. Kaifeng, Luoyang and other ancient capitals along the Yellow River, because the economy of the Central Plains is backward, this situation can not be improved in a short time, and the traffic and floods of the Yellow River are also inappropriate.

Beijing, which is located along the coast, is an economically developed place, which is in the throat area connecting Northeast China and North China. It has an important strategic position and is the lifeblood of China today. At the same time, Beijing is close to Mongolia and Russia, and there is no war. Although it is close to the sea, the Bohai Sea is the inland sea of China, guarded by Liaodong and Shandong Peninsula. Strategically speaking, it is very safe. If something happens internationally, it will not shake Beijing immediately. In addition, Beijing is a 500-year-old imperial capital of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is easily accepted by the people psychologically. For the above reasons, the government has designated Beijing as the capital.

Hope to adopt!
