In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang carried out a series of reforms and major decisions in order to consolidate his rule. One of the most important things is to move the capital to Jinling, the south of the Yangtze River, so that this thousand-year-old city can glow with new vitality.
No, Hongwu is the title of Zhu Yuanzhang, which means "bumper harvest and prosperity". In the early years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang made clear his determination to reform the state system and establish a strong centralization. As the new capital, Jinling symbolizes the authority and glory of the imperial court, and is regarded as an important part of Ming Taizu's governance plan.
Jinling is located in the north and south of the great river, with unique geographical position, convenient transportation and developed land and water transportation. Jinling has been an important commercial port and cultural center since ancient times, with a long history and prosperous economy. Zhu Yuanzhang chose to locate the capital in Jinling, not only for strategic reasons, but also for the geographical advantages and resource conditions of Jinling.
No, Jinling means that in this hot land, the Ming Dynasty ushered in a glorious period of development. Urban construction has been vigorously promoted, including the transformation of palaces and city walls, as well as the construction of magnificent palaces, temples and palaces. Great investment and efforts made Jinling one of the largest and most magnificent cities in East Asia at that time.
The renaming of Jinling also symbolizes the central government's emphasis on the southern region and its development strategy. The Ming Dynasty took northern Shaanxi as the center and faced severe challenges from the Mongolian forces in the north. Therefore, Nanjing has become the economic and cultural center of the south, which is also an adjustment and change to the unbalanced development between the north and the south.
