Extended data:
Qinhuai River is a first-class tributary of the Yangtze River, with a total length of about 1 10 km. It is the ancient name of Huaishui, the main river in Nanjing, and its real name is "Longzangpu". According to legend, when Qin Shihuang visited the east, he looked at the purple gas rising above Jinling and thought it was a royal thing, so he chiseled Fangshan, broke the long ridge and entered the river. Later generations mistakenly thought that the water was opened in Qin dynasty, so it was called "Qinhuai".
As early as the Six Dynasties, Qinhuai River and Confucius Temple were already prosperous areas, and the banks of Shili Qinhuai were places where aristocratic families lived together and where literati gathered. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, nobody cared about it for a time. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it prospered again, with plenty of brothels and Ling Bo's original paintings, becoming the land of beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River.
The most famous scenery in Qinhuai is the lantern boat which prevailed in Ming Dynasty. All the boats on the river, big or small, are hung with colored lights. Anyone who swims the Qinhuai River must take a canoe as soon as possible.
