This is a legendary city where purple energy comes from the east
It is also a weak and desolate city
Its glory is as clear and fleeting as dewdrops
The days of being favored and abandoned always alternate briefly
This is Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. In the dream of Qinhuai, it has been lingering for three thousand years, inspiring the soul for thousands of generations. Looking across the land of China, there is hardly any city that can intertwine the pride and sorrow of the Chinese nation as closely as Nanjing. The Qinhuai River runs over the long corridor of time, where the once prosperous dynasties staged unparalleled glory, and the bloody history also performed tragic stories here. Surrounded by mountains, the ancient country is surrounded by the tide, and the empty city is lonely. After experiencing the washing and turning of time, this calm and atmospheric Jinling city returns to the world with its true and sincere silence and acceptance of all things.
Six Dynasties Golden Powder, Jinling Imperial Capital
The imperial capital of Jinling in the poem, with six dynasties of golden powder and flourishing willows and smoke, has experienced the prosperity of the dynasty and also carried the charm of Wang Xie. The ten mile Qinhuai River is home to a gathering of wealthy merchants and numerous brothels; The grandeur and radiance inside and outside the palace; The majestic and imposing soldiers and horses on Zhongshan Road are vividly portrayed here, unparalleled in history.
The ancient capital of Nanjing, which has a history of thousands of years, embodies too much prosperity and glory, as well as too many ups and downs. Its weight is unimaginable. The rise and fall of the Six Dynasties, the glory and sadness of emperors, generals, and ministers, and the graceful lamentations of literati and poets are all engraved on the ancient city walls of Nanjing. After being washed and sedimented in the long river of time, they are fully immersed in the bloodline of this’ Jinling Imperial State ‘.

The merchant girl doesn’t know the hatred of the country’s demise, but across the river she sings the flower of the backyard
The Qinhuai River in front of Du Mu was a scene of lights, wine, and greenery, with nightlife and revelry, extravagance, and debauchery. The bustling atmosphere was nothing but a debauchery. The thoughts of literati, the ripples stained with grease, transform into thick sadness in the twilight of the misty blue water, spreading in the boundless night sky. In the light and shadow, they reflect the images of the “merchant women” nourished by the Qinhuai River. In the years of national destruction and family decline, they elegantly perform a classic and timeless poem “Mooring in Qinhuai”, stunning thousands of years of time.
The tiger and dragon are victorious in the past, and they are full of enthusiasm and generosity
Perhaps it is because literati and poets in history have left too many nostalgic poems for Nanjing, or perhaps it is because the tragic songs here leave a deep impression on us. People’s impressions of Nanjing are mostly “literary, prosperous, vicissitudes, and vicissitudes”. Little do they know, the biggest character of Nanjing is tolerance and gentleness, which is the urban character that has been precipitated by history. Just like Nanjing people, they handle things calmly, not arrogant or impetuous. The misty rain of Jinling has enveloped Nanjing with a hazy and gentle charm, melting its urban history bit by bit into every inch of the land here, and also watering the hearts of generations of Nanjing people.
The story of Nanjing continues; The prosperity of Jinling has never ceased. The changes of the times have reshaped the ancient charm of this city. Nanjing, which has come from the depths of history, has been forging ahead for thousands of years. Although it has repeatedly suffered disasters, its shape is still intact, and although it has numerous scars, its texture is still clear. In the “Evaluation Report of International Cultural Metropolises”, among the 51 international cultural metropolises in the world, Nanjing ranks 38th together with Switzerland’s Zurich. In terms of public cultural participation indicators, Nanjing ranks first in the world. The praises of history are integrated with the glory of reality. This Nanjing, which has been reborn in the smoke and rain, has forged its most vivid and authentic appearance, with years of laughter and a promising future.
