Taoye Ferry Taoye Ferry is one of the ancient scenic spots in Nanjing and one of the 48 scenic spots in Jinling.

The origin of the name Taoye Ferry can be traced back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Wang Xianzhi, the seventh son of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi, lived in Wuyi Lane in the south of Huai River. He often welcomed his concubine Tao Yedu across the river here. He had a song "Taoye Song", and the crossing mentioned in it was Taoye Ferry. At that time

Since a floating navigation (Dongcheng Navigation) has been set up on the Qinhuai River, there is no need to use a boat to welcome Taoye.

Since the Six Dynasties, many literati and poets have come here to write poems about the crossing.

With the construction of the Qinhuai Scenic Belt, the scenic spot "Peach Leaf Lindu" has reappeared in front of tourists.

Five Titles of Jinling - Wuyi Alley] Tang Dynasty---Liu Yuxi Wild grass and flowers beside the Suzaku Bridge, the setting sun is setting at the entrance of Wuyi Alley.

In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.

Crow Yi Lane and Zhuque Bridge Crow Yi Lane is a quiet and narrow alley beside the Wende Bridge of Confucius Temple on the south bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing today.

Wuyi Lane is named after Wu once camped here during the Three Kingdoms period, and all Wu soldiers wore black clothes.

During the Six Dynasties, it became the location of the residences of Wang Dao and Xie An, the famous prime ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

To commemorate Director Wang and Xie An, Laiyan Hall was built in the east of Wuyi Lane. The building is simple and elegant. Portraits of Director Wang and Xie An are hung in the hall, and there are constant visitors from officials.

It has become a place to pay homage to the famous figures of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and express nostalgia for the ancient times.

The Zhuque Bridge was a pontoon bridge built on the Qinhuai River during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It no longer exists in today's Zhonghua Gate.

In order to recall the Zhuque Bridge, people often regard Zhenhuai River as the Zhuque Bridge in the past. I don’t know how many literati and celebrities from past dynasties have come here to express their feelings about their hometown and recall the past!

Nowadays, the Zhuque Bridge is newly erected between Wuding Bridge and Zhenhuai Bridge. When tourists come here, they look at the three words "Zhuque Bridge" and feel nostalgic for the past.

Here the Huaihe River turns slightly and the bridge lies under the sunset, still retaining its original style.

[Address] Wuyi Lane: Beside the Wende Bridge of Confucius Temple on the south bank of Qinhuai River in Nanjing today.

Zhuque Bridge: Due to its long history, Zhuque Bridge has long since disappeared, and its ruins are also elusive and hard to find.

The bridge should be between Zhenhuai Bridge and Wuding Bridge in today's Zhonghuamen City, right where the ancient Changle River crossed.

[Mooring in Qinhuai] Tang Dynasty---Du Mu The smoke cage is cold, the moon is caged in the sand, and the Qinhuai River is close to the restaurant at night.

The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river.

Qinhuai River The ancient name of Qinhuai River is "Huai River", and its other name is "Longzangpu".

As early as ancient times, it was a tributary of the Yangtze River and the largest river in Nanjing.

The Qinhuai River has two water sources. The southern source is in Donglu Mountain, Lishui County, and is called the Lishui River.

The northern source is at the southern foot of Baohua Mountain in Jurong City, and is called Jurong River.

The two sources from the north and the south merge into the northwest village of Fangshandai in Jiangning County.

From the Qinhuai River to the Jiulong Bridge outside Tongji Gate, it is divided into inner and outer branches.

The total length of the Qinhuai River is more than 100 kilometers, the entire drainage basin is more than 2,600 square kilometers, and there are 16 main tributaries.

As far back as the Stone Age, there have been human activities in the Qinhuai River Basin.

There are more than 100 large and small markets on both sides of the river from Dongshuiguan to Xishuiguan. It has been a prosperous commercial and residential area since Soochow.

During the Six Dynasties, it became a place where famous families gathered, merchants gathered, literati gathered, and Confucianism flourished.

After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it gradually declined, but it attracted countless literati and poets to pay their respects here.

In the Song Dynasty, it gradually recovered and became the cultural and educational center of Jiangnan.

The Ming and Qing dynasties were the heyday of Shili Qinhuai.

The golden powder pavilions are lined up in rows; the painted boats are rippling in the waves, and the sound of lights and shadows form a dreamlike and beautiful spectacle.

But in modern times, due to wars and other reasons, the former prosperity no longer exists.

After 1985, Jiangsu Province and Nanjing City spent huge sums of money to restore this scenic spot, and the Qinhuai River once again became a famous tourist attraction in my country.

[Address] The Qinhuai Scenic Area is located in the south of Nanjing, starting from the Qinhuai Water Pavilion at the Huaiqing Bridge in Dongshuiguan in the east, crossing the Wende Bridge, and extending to the Zhonghuamen Castle to the inner Qinhuai River area in Xishuiguan, including the streets, lanes, and residents on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

2. Poems describing the Confucius Temple: 1. "Two Farewell Poems·One" by Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty Pingping was more than thirteen years old, and the cardamom sprouts were on her head in early February.

The spring breeze is ten miles away on Yangzhou Road, and it is not as good as rolling up the bead curtain.

Vernacular interpretation: The posture is beautiful, the behavior is light, and the thirteenth year is just like the cardamom flower in bud in early February.

I have seen all the young beauties in Yangzhou City's ten-mile long street, and none of them can compare to her when they roll up bead curtains and sell pretty pink and white dresses.

2. "Farewell at Jinling Wine Shop" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. The wind blows the willow flowers and fills the shop with fragrance, and Wu Ji presses wine to encourage guests to taste it.

The disciples of Jinling came to see each other off, and everyone drank wine if they wanted to do it or not.

I would like to ask you, Dongliu Shui, who do you want to compare with?

Vernacular interpretation: The spring breeze blows the willow catkins and the aroma of wine fills the store. Wu Ji holds out the wine and invites the guests to taste it.

Friends from Jinling came to see each other off one after another, and the host and guest drank freely and raised their glasses frequently.
