Four puzzles in Shenyang Imperial Palace: Where did Long Mai hide in Qing Dynasty?

Shenyang Imperial Palace, formerly known as Shengjing Palace Que, was later called Fengtian Palace. Located in the center of the old city of Ming and Qing Dynasties in Shenhe District, Shenyang. Covering an area of about 60,000 square meters, it has more than 90 buildings and more than 300 rooms. Founded in the late Golden Ten Years (five years starting tomorrow, 1625), it was first established in the first year of Chongde in Qing Dynasty (the ninth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, 1636). In the first year of Shunzhi in Qing dynasty (1644), after the Qing dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, it became the "capital palace". From the tenth year of Kangxi (167 1) to the ninth year of Daoguang (1829), the Qing emperor 1 1 paid homage to the ancestral tomb and was stationed here and expanded.

Who designed it? Who will build it? Shenyang Imperial Palace, formerly known as Shengjing Palace Que, was later called Fengtian Palace. This is the palace before the Qing Dynasty moved its capital to Guannuo, and it is also the thriving place of Ai Xinjue Roche. It was here 380 years ago that the pioneers of the Qing Dynasty took the last step into the Central Plains.

Today, 380 years later, a group of famous scholars from China recently held an academic seminar in Shenyang to commemorate the establishment of the Forbidden City. Due to the lack of historical materials, there are still many unsolved mysteries in Shenyang Forbidden City. To this end, experts have their own opinions and opinions.

One of the mysteries is that Hanwang hastily moved the capital just to protect Long Mai? In A.D. 162 1 year, Nurhachi led the Eight Banners army to advance into Liaodong with an unstoppable trend, moved the capital from Hetuala to Liaoyang, a major town in Liaodong, and built a large number of buildings and palaces.

Surprisingly, however, in the early morning of March 3, 1625, Nurhachi suddenly called his ministers and Baylor to discuss the matter and proposed to move the capital to Shengjing (now Shenyang). The ministers immediately strongly opposed it, but Nurhachi insisted on his own ideas.

Why did Nurhachi "hastily move the capital"? It has been circulated among the people: Nurhachi believed in "traditional Feng Shui" and built Niangniang Temple in the southwest corner of Tokyo at that time according to Mr. Feng Shui's instructions; Building Mituo Temple at the East Gate; Thousands of Buddhist temples were built at the foot of Fengling Mountain, and three temples were used to hold the dragon and let Long Mai continue to be king.

However, the Three Temples only suppressed the dragon head, the dragon claw and the dragon tail, but the dragon backbone in the city was not suppressed. So the dragon bent over and flew away, flying north to the north bank of Hunhe River. Hanwang thought that the dragon came from heaven and ordered him to build another city in the land of Longgan, so a new city sprang up and named it "Fengtian". Because the Hunhe River was called Shenshui in ancient times, and the north bank of the river was Yang (the rules of Yin and Yang in Feng Shui are: Shan Zhinan is Yang, the north of the water is Yin, the south of the water is Yin, and the north of the water is Yang), it is also called "Shenyang".

Of course, this legend seems amazing, but Professor Aarif Lee, a member of the National Committee for the Compilation of Qing History, and Tong Yue, director of the research office of Shenyang Palace Museum, said that Feng Shui has always been the first place to build a capital and a city. Shenyang is located in the Yang of Hunhe River, which is connected with Liaohe River, and Liaohe River is connected with the sea. It can be described as a "land of feng shui".

However, two experts also pointed out that the main purpose of Nurhachi's move to Shenyang should be strategic progress. First of all, Shenyang is a place extending in all directions, and its geographical position is very favorable to the Manchu at that time. There are Mongolia in the north, Ming Dynasty in the west and North Korea in the south. Secondly, the contradiction between Manchu and Han nationalities in Liaoyang, the former capital, was serious, while Shenyang was only a medium-sized city with a small population, which was easy to manage and avoided the intensification of Manchu-Han contradictions.
