Manchu people entered the customs, overthrew the rule of the Ming Dynasty and established the Qing Dynasty. However, after the Qing dynasty entered the customs, the emperor issued a very strange order, that is, the Han people were forbidden to enter Changbai Mountain until the Xianfeng period. Why did the Qing royal family ban Changbai Mountain for more than 2 years? What's the secret behind this?
As we all know, Manchu is only a minority in our country. Although Manchu established the Qing Dynasty at that time, the number of Manchu was still at a disadvantage compared with that of Han nationality. The royal family of Qing Dynasty was also worried about being seized by Han nationality again, so they planned a back road for themselves early. Northeast China is the gathering place of Manchu. They were born and raised in Northeast China. If they fail, they will definitely return to Northeast China. Therefore, the royal family of the Qing Dynasty paid great attention to protecting Northeast China, and Emperor Jiaqing also ordered that over-exploitation of Northeast China was not allowed.
Han people have accumulated a lot of experience in business and trade in the Central Plains, and the Qing royal family was also worried that Manchu and Han people would be cheated when doing business, so they protected the Northeast. Changbai Mountain is rich in resources and a treasure house in Northeast China, so it has been paid more attention. For the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, although they had to accept the Han people, they also had to protect their own people, and even more, they had to protect the resources in the Northeast for their own use. Thus Changbai Mountain became a forbidden place for the Han people.
In fact, there is another important reason why it is forbidden to enter Changbai Mountain, and that is the problem of geomantic omen. So what's the secret? The royal family believed that Changbai Mountain was the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty, and both Nurhachi and Huang Taiji attached great importance to this place. Later, Emperor Qianlong also said that it was the "land of Longxing", that is to say, it was closely related to the fate of the real dragon emperor.
In order to protect the lifeline of the Qing Dynasty, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty set up fences here and sent heavy troops to guard it. For a long time, it was difficult to enter here. However, there are many precious animals and plants in Changbai Mountain, such as ginseng and velvet antler, which can be sold at good prices in the market, which also attracts many bold people.
They tried their best to sneak into Changbai Mountain, avoiding the eyes of soldiers, and brought these precious things out of the mountain in exchange for a lot of money. Over time, local officials and people have become rich on Changbai Mountain, and this ban has gradually become ineffective. According to statistics, about 1, people have sneaked into Changbai Mountain. Later, during the reign of Emperor Xianfeng, he saw that the ban had no effect. After all, he could not punish 1, people, so he lifted the ban. Since then, Changbai Mountain has become a treasure house for local people to live on.
