    From a geopolitical point of view, the capital can only be in the north forever. The south is too geographically fragmented and difficult to connect together, and cannot form a powerful political force, while the north is not, and the northern terrain has a more vast plain, which can also form a whole with the relatively closed Guanzhong plate, so that the regime has more advantages in economic mobilization, population, especially soldier reserves, and mobilization. In addition, the further north of the north is the more vast steppe, where generations of fierce nomadic tribes have been formed, which is the primary external threat to the Chinese regimes in successive dynasties (think about why not the south), and the capital of the north can concentrate the country's manpower, material and financial resources, and fiercely attack or defend against the southward invasion of the nomads (only by daring to rush to the front line, the first-line regime can survive, and none of the Central Plains or the south of the Yangtze River will have a good end.)

    Two of China's best capitals, Chang'an and Beijing, are "the Son of Heaven guarding the country"). Compared with the south, the characteristics of the north are that even if there are separatist forces, they are like fire and water with each other, and after a large-scale war, they quickly form a powerful force to unify the north, and go south to clean up the partial security regime in the south, and turn around to the north to fight the grassland tribes (this is why the north has frequent wars in history, social disturbances, great exchanges, and even dialects are more consistent culturally, while the south has fewer wars and more dialects. In a word, the south is geographically too fragmented, resulting in the corresponding regime is also broken, at least there should be three plates of Bashu, Jingzhou, Jiangdong or even more).

    Finally, the natural environment in the north makes the people in the north have a different quality, more heroic, and eloquent. Therefore, it is not man who will conquer the sky, but nature has already doomed everything.

    There are several reasons why the capital should be built in the north and not in the south:

    1.In the history of China, the north was the political, cultural and economic center, so the choice to build the capital in the north has a certain historical inertia.

    2.From the perspective of geographical environment, the north has a higher terrain, has the advantage of geographical defense, and the water resources are more abundant than the south, which is suitable for building a capital.

    3.In addition, in order to resist the invasion of the northern nomads, successive dynasties also tended to choose to build their capitals in the north.

    4.The climate in the north is more pleasant than in the south, and the cold snaps in winter are easily resisted.

    For these reasons, the north is more suitable as the capital.

    Historically, Beijing was the capital of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, located relatively close to the Central Plains, and has become the political, cultural and economic center at that time, until the new China!

    2.At that time, when the People's Republic of China was founded, the remnants of the Kuomintang and other counter-revolutionary forces in the south had not been completely eliminated, and Kuomintang spies were rampant! Beijing is in the north, and the revolution is more thorough there.

    3.At the beginning, when the Soviet Union was still the big brother, the capital of Beijing was close to the big brother, and it was convenient to take care of anything.

    The establishment of the capital is not a question of the North and the South, but according to historical conditions, read more history books.

    Hello! The capital of a country cannot be changed lightly. Some countries are considering building new capitals because they have too many functions and bring great difficulties to management and development, as well as environmental protection. This matter has to be prepared, demonstrated, and discussed over a long period of time.

    Many cities in southern China are prone to flooding in summer, and this is a relatively big problem.

    From a geographical point of view, the south is not easy to hold.

    From a historical point of view, the ancient threats all came from the north, so there was the Son of Heaven to guard the country, and the successive dynasties that built their capitals in the south were all partial peace dynasties, which could not last long.

    Before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, China's economic center of gravity had always been in the north, and it was in line with this that the administrative center was in the north.

    China's economic center of gravity was difficult to shift after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but China's administrative center remained in the north most of the time, partly due to a political inertia (for example, the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty with the capital of Beijing, largely to prove its legitimacy), and on the other hand, there were some specific individual reasons, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was moved from Nanjing to Beijing after the Battle of Jingjing, because Zhu Di himself was originally the king of Yan, and Beijing was his old nest.

    During this period, with the construction of water conservancy projects such as the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty, the north-south transportation was more convenient, and the materials from the south could continue to flow to the north, and the capital no longer needed to be close to the economic center of gravity.

    Because there are historical reasons as well as practical reasons. The geographical location of the capital Beijing is very important, with Beijing as the center to connect all directions, and the south is very rich, and the northwest, northeast, and north China still need great development.

    My thoughts are:

    First of all, although Beijing is located in the north, it is not too far from the east, south, west and north of China.

    Secondly, the climatic conditions in Beijing are more suitable.

    Thirdly, Beijing is an ancient capital, with a relatively strong historical and cultural atmosphere, and there are many places of interest here.

Whether it is a conventional thermal power station or a nuclear power plant, it is necessary to condense the exhaust steam after the steam turbine is driven to generate electricity, so a large amount of cooling water is required; Due to the high cost of nuclear power plants, in order to dilute the cost, the general unit capacity is very large, and because most of the nuclear power plants have low steam parameters, the heat released through the exhaust steam is much more than that of conventional power plants, therefore, in order to reduce the consequences of thermal pollution, many nuclear power plants are built in coastal areas. >>>More

Since the Qin Dynasty dominated the world, the political and economic centers were mostly set up in the north, so every time there was a change of regime, a large number of people in the north would move south, and at the same time, advanced technology and capital would be brought with them. Especially since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were basically no more wars in the south, and the society began to become stable, which laid a good foundation for the economic development of the south. In addition, with the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the economies of the north and the south have been blended, and the south has become the "granary" of the north, thus obtaining a certain amount of basic capital. >>>More
