    Xuanwu is actually a divine beast, and some people say that it is one of the nine sons of the dragon, but they are not sure! In Feng Shui, there is a famous town that refers to a resounding name to guard the peace of this side, and secondly, the city gate was not only a traffic artery but also a military fortress in ancient times!

    The name of the divine beast has the meaning of might, bravery, and solidity, and on the other hand, it also has a psychological comfort! Another thing is the surface orientation! As above, Xuanwu refers to due north, which is also reflected in the Bagua, but China has Shennong Bagua and Fuxi Bagua...

    This question is not usually raised!

These are the four major sacred beasts of China, representing the 28 constellations in the sky, each of which has a specific name, which was given by ancient astronomers.

    Xuanwu Gate is in Nanjing, Jiangsu.

    Xuanwu Gate is the later gate of Nanjing Ming City Wall, opened in 1908, formerly known as Fengrun Gate, located between Shence Gate and Jiefang Gate and Taiping Gate, named because of its proximity to Xuanwu Lake, as the west gate of Xuanwu Lake Park.

    In 1908 (the 34th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty), the governor of Liangjiang Duanfang prepared to organize the Nanyang Industry Association, in order to increase the tourist attractions and facilitate the visit to Xuanwu Lake, it was decided to open a new city gate to Xuanwu Lake, and Xuanwu Lake was opened to the outside world as a Wuzhou Park, and then the successor governor Zhang Renjun was in charge.

    Because of the origin of Hehui Zhang Renjun in Fengrun, Hebei, it was named "Fengrun Gate". The opening of Fengrun Gate is a major turning point for Xuanwu Lake, marking that Xuanwu Lake is becoming a park in the sense of modern history.

    The change of Xuanwu Gate was a bloody coup d'état launched on the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Tang Gaozu Wude (July 2, 626 AD) near the Xuanwu Gate of the Beigong Gate of the Great Inner Palace of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. After Tang Gaozu Li Yuan ascended the throne, Li Jiancheng became the crown prince and was stationed in the palace to do business, representing the civil official group.

    Li Shimin was the king of Qin, and he continued to lead the general group to lead the troops to the expedition, making the greatest contribution. Ganzi knew that his military exploits and prestige were inferior to Shimin, so he and his younger brother Qi Shi Li Yuanji excluded and framed Li Shimin; At the same time, Li Shimin's group also refused to accept the prince, and the two sides continued to fight.

    Under Li Yuan's favoritism, Li Jiancheng's group gradually gained the upper hand and took control of the situation. In order to save the situation, Li Shimin eventually killed his eldest brother Prince Li Jiancheng and his fourth brother Li Yuanji, King of Qi, at Xuanwumen. Since ancient times, most historians have understood, sympathized, and even appreciated the changes in Li Shimin's Xuanwumen.
