Speaking of reasons, the most intuitive view is that Beijing is Judy's fief, and it's always right to live comfortably in your own territory, right? Judy was originally named Yan Wang, and Gyeonggi is the core area under the jurisdiction of Yan Wang. Before Judy became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his power was mostly concentrated in the north, and all kinds of military affairs and civil affairs in the north were mostly managed by Judy. Over the years, Judy has established a strong influence in the north, especially in the area centered on Beijing. It can be said that Beiping is Judy's lair, and it is reasonable to build a magnificent palace in his lair. Just like Qin Shihuang built Epang Palace for himself in Guanzhong, it is similar.
Let's take a look at this time. Judy is repairing the Forbidden City in Beijing. Judy has entered Nanjing, but the unstable factors inside and outside the imperial court have not decreased. On the one hand, the Forbidden City was built for the convenience of moving the capital, and on the other hand, it was built to get rid of the influence of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen. Use the capital to thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the imperial court and make it loyal? First emperor? They all stayed in Nanjing and moved to a brand-new palace with their new generation of palaces.
Another view is that Judy strengthened the city defense for fear of instability. At that time, in order to compete for the throne, Judy and his nephew Wen Jian fell out. This generation gap has made Judy feel extremely ashamed. During the Nanjing War, Emperor Wen Jian disappeared in the war. This also made Judy feel uneasy, so some people speculated that Judy was trying to repair the Forbidden City to strengthen her defense and reduce her worries. The structure surrounded by layers of the Forbidden City seems to confirm this point. However, when the Forbidden City was completed, the Nanjing Forbidden City was still used as a template. Now it seems that there may be another article, and the choice of this template is also worth pondering. What do readers think of this?
Besides, Beijing, as the capital, was not only in the Ming Dynasty. Beijing is the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and its geomantic location is relatively good. It is close to the Yanshan Mountains in the north and the sea in the southeast, overlooking the Bohai Sea. Long Mai, with numerous water veins, is suitable for establishing the capital. Ming Chengzu also seems to want to master this strategic location-the throat area. Make the city more stable, at least from the feng shui is conducive to their own rule. From the geographical location of Beijing alone, the advantage of this geomantic location is enough for an emperor to make such efforts. In addition, the slogan "The son of heaven protects the country" is perfect. Since we are moving, it is normal to build a new house.
Judy's personality tends to be perfect, and he can focus on the overall pattern. Needless to say, when he was in office, he was able to develop the cause of the whole Ming Dynasty. The fact that he is compiling Yongle Dadian shows that his heart is extremely grand. Yongle Dadian is a masterpiece of China, with a large collection of literary works. This project is very big. From the point of view of book compilation, its integration degree may exceed any period in history. The editor of Yongle Dadian reflects Judy's perfectionism from one side. The strict specifications of the Forbidden City in Beijing also show that he has such a personality trait. It is human nature to devote oneself to building a palace.
There are different opinions about why Judy devoted herself to this construction, but there are only two most credible ones. First, Beijing has a good geographical location and enough charm to build luxury palaces here; The second is Judy's own values. He wants his lair to be more brilliant, just like some people buy villas and spend a lot of money to decorate them.
