Why did Qin Shihuang choose Xianyang as the capital?

First of all, from the perspective of feng shui, Xianyang's geographical location can be said to be very superior. In today's words, it is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. The ancients hoped to find a treasure trove of geomantic omen to develop their own inheritance. Xianyang was naturally chosen as the capital of the Qin Dynasty, which added advantages.

The development of a country is inseparable from the prosperity of the people and the wealth of the country, and Xianyang's natural environment is very suitable for people to live in, so choosing to settle here is very beneficial to the life and development of Qin people. Moreover, Xianyang has fertile land and the surrounding area is very suitable for farming. Food is the most important thing for the people, and the development of people's livelihood is naturally inseparable from the supplement of food, which also adds an advantage to Xianyang's choice as the capital.

As the capital, the most important thing is to have a certain strategic position, and Xianyang's strategic position is very important. It not only connected Sichuan Bashu and Qin Dou Xianyang, but also provided an important transportation channel for the Qin Dynasty to reach the Central Plains, which was more conducive to the Qing Dynasty's unification of the world and its conquest of the south and the north. Moreover, Xianyang City is connected with two major checkpoints in ancient China, and it can go directly to Tongguan and Hanguguan in the east.

With the unremitting efforts of Qin people for generations, Xianyang was already the most developed city at that time after Qin unified the six countries and established the Qin Dynasty. It is a very wise choice to choose Xianyang as the capital at this time. At the same time, it is also a move that conforms to the people's hearts.
