The Manchus overthrew the rule of the Ming Dynasty and established the Qing Dynasty. However, after the Manchu Qing Entering the Customs, the emperor issued a very strange ordinance, that is, it was forbidden for Han People to enter Changbai Mountain, which was not lifted until the Xianfeng period, why did the Qing Dynasty royal family ban Changbai Mountain for more than 200 years? What's the secret behind this?
As we all know, the Manchus are only a minority in China, although the Manchus established the Qing Dynasty at that time, but the number of Manchus is still at a disadvantage compared with the Han, and the Qing dynasty royal family is also worried about being seized by the Han again, so it has planned a way back for itself early. The northeast was a gathering place for the Manchus, who were born and raised in the northeast, and if they failed, they would definitely return to the northeast, so the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty paid great attention to the protection of the northeast region, and the Jiaqing Emperor also ordered that the transitional development of the northeast was not allowed.
The Han chinese had accumulated a lot of experience in business and trade in the Central Plains, and the Qing imperial family was also worried that the Manchus and Han people would be deceived when they made trades, so they protected the northeast region. Changbai Mountain, which has rich resources and is a treasure house in the northeast, has been doubly valued. For the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, although they wanted to accept the Han people, they also had to protect their own people, and they also had to protect the resources of the northeast for their own use, and Changbai Mountain became a forbidden place for the Han people.
In fact, there is another important reason why it is forbidden to enter Changbai Mountain, that is, the problem of feng shui, so what is the hidden secret in this? The imperial family believed that Changbai Mountain was the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty, nurhaci and emperor Taiji both attached great importance to this place of Changbai Mountain, and later the Qianlong Emperor also said that this was the "land of longxing", that is, it was closely related to the fate of the true dragon tianzi.
In order to protect the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty set up a fence here and sent heavy troops to guard it, which was difficult to enter for a long time. However, there are many precious animals and plants in Changbai Mountain, such as ginseng and deer antler velvet, which can be sold at a good price in the market, which also attracts many bold people.
Avoiding the soldiers' eyeliner, they managed to sneak into Changbai Mountain and take these precious items out of the mountain in exchange for a high reward. Over time, the local officials and people all became rich by relying on Changbai Mountain, and this prohibition gradually became ineffective. According to statistics, about 100,000 people have infiltrated the Changbai Mountains. Later, during the xianfeng emperor's time, he saw that the ban had no effect, after all, he could not punish 100,000 people, so he revoked the ban. Since then, Changbai Mountain has become a treasure trove for the survival of the local people.
