Political Image Evolution of Beijing City in the Debates about Capital Location during the Republic of China
In three debates about Capital Location during the Republic of China,the Beijing's political image became an important factor in the selection of the capital's location.Although Beijing was designated as the capital under the influence of political force,it was generally recognized as the Autocracy Nest in the early Republic of China when the imperial system had just been overthrown.Based on the new political and social situation,those on both sides who advocated the establishment of Nanjing and Beijing as the capital engaged in fierce competition over the construction and dissolution of the Autocracy Nest image in the 1920s.And the capital moved south at last.During the Anti-Japanese War,although Beijing did not regain its capital status,the disadvantage of being a capital was turned into an advantage in the debate.The positive image of a Famous Historical City basically replaced the negative positioning of Autocratic Nest.Beijing's image changes were the result of the superimposed influence and evolution of the political situation,social environment,and personal thoughts.It was a unique situation as a millennium old imperial capital.
