When China desperately needs a new capital, 11 countries have emerged, but the mystery of choosing Beijing in the end is still puzzling, so let's solve the mystery.

Beijing, as a symbol of a country, not only bears the country's political and economic responsibilities, but also has a bearing on the future and destiny of a country. In China's long history and dynastic changes, there have been many "capitals", such as Nanjing, Xi'an, and so on.

The term "capital" was coined in 1927 when China designated Nanjing as its capital, and since then, China has been referred to as "Beijing". Now, Beijing has become the capital of China in the minds of every Chinese, the core of China's politics, economy and culture. But why did you choose Beijing in the early days?

Therefore, when choosing a city, it is necessary to carefully consider the city's population, location, economic power and political environment. Harbin, Beijing, Yan'an, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Xi'an, Nanjing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, etc.

Location is the primary consideration, so the two cities of Harbin and Chengdu were the first to be eliminated. Harbin is a big industrialized city and its economy is growing rapidly, but it is located in the northern part of Heilongjiang Province and has low temperatures, so it is not a good capital. Although Chengdu has also developed rapidly, it is surrounded by mountains and is excluded due to its southwestern location.

Yan'an is a red "red holy land", its political status is very high, but its social development level and population size are very small, so it is not included in the "red tourist resort". Kaifeng and Luoyang are both ancient cities, but as time goes by, both the economy and the population are far inferior to the first two, so they will be eliminated successively.

Shanghai and Guangzhou, despite their rapid economic development, are not included because of their proximity to the coast and the likelihood of attacks from the sea. Just as the United States chose Washington over New York, cities near the coast are more vulnerable to attacks from them.

The remaining several are the most popular ones in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing, Chongqing. Chongqing was the capital of the Anti-Japanese War, with strong political color, and it is a fast-growing city in southwest China, but its mountainous terrain is not convenient for the construction of the capital. As for Xi'an, because it is located in the middle of China, and China's economic development in the new century tends to be biased towards the southeast and coastal areas, and the problem of water scarcity is not considered.

Nanjing is the old capital of the nation, located on the southeast coast, and is one of the most popular capitals. However, the dynasties that set the capital of Nanjing were relatively short-lived, so there were some ominous omens. In addition, Nanjing is located in the southeast, far from the Soviet Union, and on the contrary, Beijing has a great advantage in all areas.

Not to mention Beijing, an ancient capital, a political center with a rich history and cultural heritage. Moreover, Beijing was peacefully liberated without any damage, and all the buildings were well protected. It is located in the plain area, the terrain is gentle, the terrain is good, and the north and south are suitable. All of this makes Beijing the preferred place for the new China.

Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China, is not only the political and economic center, but also the soul of humanity, shouldering important historical responsibilities. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Beijing has undergone tremendous changes, and it has developed from a poverty, poverty, and poverty to today's prosperity and splendor, which is China's leap from scratch and from small to large.

Beijing is an ancient city with a long history, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall, these monuments that shine in time and attract tourists from all over the world. Today's Beijing, a modern metropolis with many high-rise buildings and heavy traffic, shows that China has made great achievements in reform and development.

Beijing is both a hub for national policy-making and a frontier for technology and technology. Zhongguancun High-tech Industrial Park is an important base for China's scientific and technological development, gathering world-class scientific research institutes and enterprises. In this world, our people are tirelessly exploring for the success of the Chinese dream.

Beijing is also a very developed country in terms of its politics and technology. The National Centre for the Performing Arts, the National Art Museum of China, the National Museum and many other cultural and artistic venues have brought a rich spiritual world to the citizens, and it is also a kind of spiritual sustenance after being busy.

As a Chinese, Beijing is a witness to China's development and the expectation of all Chinese people, and I am deeply proud. In the future, Beijing will certainly display China's charm on the international stage and make unremitting progress for the great dream of the Chinese people.
