历史有其偶然性与必然性。选择定都北京实为一系列事件的偶然,然其偶然中亦肯定有必然。没有他们对最高权力的渴望与追逐,北京与都城联系在一起恐怕还需时日。他们书写了北京成为都城的历史进程,也使北京这座都城步步走向辉煌。北京绝佳的地理位置,为其成为帝王之都造就了得天独厚的条件,但北京成为都城,其更为重要的必然性则是中华文明发展的最终归宿。 History has its chance and necessity. The choice of capitalizing on Beijing is indeed a series of incidents. However, it is surely necessary to happen by chance. Without their desire and chase of the supreme power, it may take time for Beijing to connect with the capital. They wrote the historical process of becoming Beijing as a capital city and also made Beijing a capital city step by step toward glory. Beijing’s excellent geographical location has created unique conditions for its becoming a monarchical capital. However, as Beijing became a capital city, its more important necessity is the ultimate destination of the development of Chinese civilization.
