Why is Nanjing a tiger sitting on a dragon plate?

As we know, Nanjing is one of the four ancient capitals in China, with the reputation of "the ancient capital of six dynasties" and "the metropolis of ten dynasties". Therefore, "feng shui" is naturally excellent, and the so-called "clock plate, Shicheng eyeing". There are two legends about "Wang Qi" in Nanjing, which are common in local historical sites. One is that Chu Weiwang and Xiong Shang buried gold for "Wang Qi" in Nanjing, on the north side of Lion Mountain in Xiaguan, Nanjing. It is unknown whether "Wang Qi" was strangled, but when it comes to "Jinling", it comes from this. There is still the place name of "Jinling Village" at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. It is said that since then, people have been digging for gold around the buried land, which has ruined the "royal spirit" of Jinling. Secondly, Qin Shihuang's southern tour found that Nanjing had a "kingly spirit" and carved Qinhuai to vent. This is the origin of the name "Qinhuai River". After the troubles of Chu Weiwang and Qin Shihuang, Nanjing seems to have lost its kingly position. But then there was a saying in Nanjing that "the tiger sits on the dragon plate", and Zhuge Liang was the initiator. According to the requirements of geomantic omen, a geomantic treasure requires four elements: North Xuanwu, South Suzaku, East Qinglong and West White Tiger. That is, the back of the mountain faces the water (facing south and facing north), helping the left and helping the right. Generally speaking, there are mountains in the north, rivers in the south, and barriers in the east and west. From a small point of view, Nanjing does have such feng shui conditions: backed by Shogun Mountain, facing Qinhuai River, Zhongshan Zuo Fu and Shicheng Youbi. As Zhuge Liang said, "The land of Liling, the dragon plate of Zhongfu (Purple Mountain) and the tiger saw of Shicheng (Qingliangshan and Shicheng) are really the houses of emperors." If only feng shui were that simple. According to the requirements of geomantic omen, the backing of geomantic omen treasure land is called Shaozu Mountain, which needs a larger mountain range, that is, Laozu Mountain. The shogunate that Nanjing relies on is just an isolated mountain. If it is unreliable, it will soon be washed down by the great river. How can you be someone else's backer? So Nanjing is not backed by mountains, but by water. Not only the back, but also the right rib is exposed to the raging river. Carrying water is a taboo of feng shui. History has proved that the downfall of Nanjing dynasties in past dynasties was mostly caused by the enemy's going into the river: "Chihiro iron rope sank to the bottom of the river and a stone fell to the ground." It seems that shielding Nanjing from natural disasters is actually a good way for the enemy to attack. The result is: "For 300 years, we shared the same dream. Where is the dragon card in Zhongshan? " Is Zhuge Liang talking nonsense because he doesn't understand Feng Shui? No way! Knowing "Wen" in the sky and "Li" on the ground is probably his old man's specialty. But what does Mr Zhuge want? I'm afraid it's a matter of rights and interests to unite Sun Tzu against Cao Cao, and it's his big dream in the Spring and Autumn Period to repay Liu Huangshu's kindness to unify the whole country. Therefore, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to give his competitors a basic suggestion to enjoy forever. I'm afraid it's the real intention to let Brother Quan sit on the chopping block. Later, it was proved that Zhuge Liang did a lot of stupid things in order to repay Liu Bei's kindness, such as six trips to Qishan, using the land of Liu Shu and the southwest of Jingyi against the land of eight States in the north of Cao Wei. It can be described as acting against the sky. So, by the way, it is a piece of cake for him to lie to Sun Quan.
