My hometown is Nanjing
My hometown is Nanjing. Let me introduce Nanjing!
Nanjing, one of the six ancient capitals in China, is located on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It was called Jinling in ancient times, and now it is the capital of Jiangsu Province. Its urban area is 861 square kilometers, with a population of more than 3 million. Its jurisdiction spans the northern and southern banks of the Yangtze River, including Xuanwu, Baixia, Qinhuai, Jianye, Gulou and Xiaguan. It is rainy
Huatai, Qixia and Puguan. Nanjing has a history of
nearly 2,511 years since Fan Li, a doctor of the State of Yue, built the city in 472 BC. The kings of Dongwu, Dongjin and Southern Dynasties, such as Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, successively built their capitals here. It was once the land of "the Six Dynasties of Emperors and the Three Dynasties of Wu Jiali", and its history was called the Six Dynasties. In addition, the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty (Hongwu), the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Kuomintang government also established their capitals here. Therefore, in history, they were called "the resorts of the Six Dynasties and the cities of the Ten Dynasties". Nanjing, an
ancient city, not only has the advantages of natural landscapes, but also has the elegance of historical relics. Its urban greening ranks first in China, and it is a garden city with both ancient and modern civilizations. Today's Nanjing is not only the political, economic and cultural center of Jiangsu Province, but also one of the most important transportation and communication hubs in East China, and an international commercial port in the Yangtze River Delta region, second only to Shanghai. The ancient Nanjing
city is once again full of vitality with the approach of another Millennium.
This is my hometown Nanjing!
In the southeast of Asia, there is a surging Yangtze River, which nourishes more than 1.8 million square kilometers of fertile soil and nurtures nearly 411 million descendants of the Chinese people. It is the pride of the Chinese nation. On the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River,
there is an ancient city with a long history-Nanjing.
Although Nanjing is located in the middle and lower reaches of the plain, it is located in the hilly area with steep terrain. In the east is Ningzhen Mountain with Purple Mountain as the main body, and in the north is the Yangtze River. From east to west, there are Fugui Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, Wutai Mountain and Qingliang Mountain in the city, which can be described as "a dragon in Zhongshan, a tiger in stone". In the south of the city, Qinhuai River communicates with Taihu Lake and is connected with the Yangtze River Delta. The beautiful Xuanwu Lake and the exquisite Mochou Lake, like two mirrors, are embedded in the northeast and southwest corners of the ancient city, which can be described as mountains surrounded by water and Zhong Ling is beautiful.
Nanjing is a famous historical and cultural ancient city, which is also known as the six ancient capitals of China together with Beijing, Xi 'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng and Hangzhou.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, sent people to build a governance city near Chaotiangong in the west of Nanjing as a place for smelting bronzes.
In 472 BC, the King of Yue destroyed Wu and built a earthen city in the southwest of the Changgan Bridge outside Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, with a circumference of about two miles. Later generations called it "Yuecheng", which was the beginning of the construction of Nanjing.
in 333 BC, in order to suppress the "royal spirit" here, Chu of the Warring States buried gold in the present Zhongshan Mountain and the western foothills of the shogunate, respectively, and built a city on the Stone Mountain, named Jinling City. Since then, Nanjing has been called Jinling.
in 229 ad, Wu of the three kingdoms moved the capital to Jianye, which was the beginning of Nanjing's capital. Later, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty, the Liang Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Republic of China successively made Nanjing their capital. In 449 years, it was called "the old capital of ten generations" in history. Nanjing was also the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, the capital of the Ming Dynasty after Yongle's capital moved northward, the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the capital of Wang Jingwei's puppet national government.
in the 52 years that Nanjing was the capital of Ming dynasty, its development was unprecedented. Its city limits are Zhongshan in the east, Stone in the west, Qinhuai in the south and Houhu in the north, including Jiankang City, Stone City, Dongfu City, Xizhou City in the Six Dynasties and Jinling City in the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is the largest city in China's history. The total area of the city is about 121 square kilometers, with 13 gates.
With a long history, Nanjing has also written a glorious chapter in China's 5,111-year history of science and culture. There have been thinkers, literary critics, historians, calligraphers and painters like Fan Zhen, Zhong Rong, Wang Xizhi, Pei Songzhi and Gu Kaizhi. Cao Xueqin was born in Nanjing and spent his youth. Wu Jingzi, the author of Scholars, and Yuan Mei, the author of Suiyuan Poetry, have lived in Jinling for a long time. China's largest encyclopedia Yongle Dadian and Li Shizhen's drug masterpiece Compendium of Materia Medica were both compiled and published in Nanjing. In the early Ming Dynasty, imperial academy, the highest institution of higher learning in Nanjing, had as many as 9,111 students.
Nanjing is rich in historical and cultural landscapes and places of interest: Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum, ming tomb, Linggu Temple, Xuanwu Lake, Mochou Lake, Yuhuatai, Confucius Temple and Tianwang Palace, which make tourists from all over the world linger.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen once pointed out: "Nanjing is the ancient capital of China, and its location is in a beautiful area. Its land has mountains, deep waters and plains. These three kinds of heavenly crafts, Zhong Yu, are a metropolis in the world. It is really hard to see this beautiful scene."
At the same time, Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty and Yanzi Jitou happily waved a pen: "I heard that I walked around Jianglan in those days, and Hong Tao looked at it with a hundred feet; But I like to grow sand into green fields, and the smoke village has been ploughing for a long time ...
