Nanjing

Nanjing(Nankin)Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu province.With a long history, it is one of China's four great ancient capitals, along with Chang'an, Luoyang, and Beijing, and is also known as the ``Six Dynasties Ancient Capital.''The ``Six Dynasties'' refer to Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, Eastern Jin during the Two Jin Dynasties, and Shikoku from the Southern Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.During the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 AD), Sun Quan of Dongwu established the capital and named it Jianye.Later, the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), the Southern and Southern Dynasties (420-589), and the Song, Sai, Liang, and Chen states also made this place their capital.After Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, Nanjing became the imperial capital from 1368 to 1421.In 1420, the third Yongle Emperor moved the capital to Beijing, and it continued to prosper as the southern capital corresponding to the northern capital, Beijing.It was from this time that the name Nanjing was given.Even in modern times, Sun Yat-sen established the capital of the provisional government of the Republic of China, and Chiang Kai-shek also established the capital of the Republic of China in Nanjing.Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum(Chuzanryo)This is the tomb of Sun Yat-sen (also known as Zhongshan), a leader of the Chinese Revolution.In 1894, the Xingchukai was organized, and in 1905, the Chinese Revolutionary Union was formed in Tokyo, with the aim of achieving national independence (nationalism), realizing a democratic system (democracy), and rectifying economic inequality through land ownership averages and capital restraints ( He advocated the Three People's Principles (people's welfare).In 1911, the Qing Dynasty was overthrown by the Xinhai Revolution, and a provisional government of the Republic of China was established in Nanjing, with Sun Yat-sen serving as provisional president.He passed away in 1925, leaving behind the words, ``The revolution is not yet complete.''He passed away in Beijing, where he was kept for a while in Zhongshan Park, and then moved to Nanjing, the capital at the time, in 1929.There is a shrine at the back of the mausoleum surrounded by greenery, and its blue tiles and white walls represent the blue sky and white sun, which is also the flag of the Nationalist Party.There are 392 steps leading up to the shrine, and at the back of the shrine there is a reclining marble statue, beneath which Sun Yat-sen's body is enshrined.Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum(Minkouryo)It was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2003.This is the tomb of Emperor Hongwu (Zhu Yuanzhang), the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).The mausoleum is located on the eastern outskirts of Nanjing City, at the southern foot of Zijin Mountain.The area is surrounded by lush trees and has been called ``a place filled with purple energy'' since ancient times, with Zhong Mountain to the north.The construction work took 25 years, and what remains today are the monument pavilion, the approach, the monument hall, the city hall, and the Ming Tower.Particularly impressive is the approach to the shrine, where 12 pairs of stone beasts and 4 pairs of stone figures are lined up, leading to a circular tomb with a diameter of 400 meters.After the third emperor moved the capital to Beijing, the mausoleums of Ming emperors were built in the "Thirteen Ming Mausoleums" on the outskirts of Beijing.Sun Quan Tomb(Sonkenbo)It is also called the Mausoleum of Chiang Ling or the Mausoleum of the King of Wu.This is the tomb of the earliest king from the Six Dynasties period in Nanjing.All that remains now are the stone monument, stone bridge, and stone statue.Ming Forbidden City(Minkokyuu)There are four buildings in China that are called the Forbidden City.Shenyang Palace in the early Qing Dynasty, Beijing Palace in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Nanjing Palace in the early Ming Dynasty, and Taipei Palace in the Republic of China.The Nanjing Forbidden City was built in 1366 and completed in 1392, and is also known as the Ming Forbidden City or the Forbidden City.The palace site area was 1.16 square kilometers, the wall was 0.88 km north to south, 0.85 km east to west, and the height of the wall was 11 meters.The Nanjing Forbidden City was an architectural masterpiece and a model for the Beijing Forbidden City, but it was grander in scale than the Beijing Forbidden City.After the capital was moved to Beijing during the third generation of the Ming Dynasty, most of the buildings on the ground were destroyed due to fires, floods, wars, and various human destructions in the calendar year.Nanjing Museum(Nankin Hakubutsuin)Opened in 1933, it is one of the earliest museums in China.Currently, there are countless museums in China, but the only one that is named a ``museum'' is Beijing's ``Forbidden City Museum,'' which is a testament to its high status.The area around Jiangsu Province was extremely prosperous during the Ming and Qing dynasties due to the monopoly of silk fabrics and salt, and talented calligraphy and painting artists created collections of clouds under their great patrons. , Jinling Bajia, Yangzhou Eight Monsters, and many other valuable works, the collection of calligraphy and paintings is especially impressive.Another thing that makes the Nanjing Museum unique is the presence of so-called ``Nan Qian Cultural Relics.''In 1933, a large amount of valuable artifacts were transported from the Forbidden City in Beijing to the Nanjing Museum (then known as the Central Museum) in order to avoid the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War. It was said that there were 20,000 pieces in a wooden box. Eventually, the war spread to Nanjing, and the cultural relics were transported again, many of them to Chongqing in Sichuan Province.After the war ended, the artifacts returned to Nanjing in almost complete condition, but during the chaos of the subsequent Communist civil war, 3,000 boxes were taken to Taipei, and 7,000 boxes were returned to the Palace Museum in Beijing. .This is currently on display at the************************in Taipei.It is said that the remaining 10,000 boxes were left at the Nanjing Museum, and are called the ``Nanqian Cultural Relics.''Chinese gate(Chukamon)Nanjing City, built during the Ming Dynasty, has a circumference of 34 kilometers, and its main gate is Zhonghua Gate, located in the south of the city.It is a distinctive castle gate that looks like a castle in itself.It is defended by a castle measuring 90 meters from east to west and 128 meters from north to south.To the west of Nanjing City is the Yangtze River, and to the east and north are the Zijin Mountains, and attacks and defenses around Nanjing were always conducted across the Zhonghua Gate.Qinhuai River(Shinwaika)and Fuzhi Temple(fuushibyo)The Qinhuai River is a tributary of the Yangtze River, and ships traveling up and down the Yangtze River will go up the Qinhuai River and enter Nanjing City.The Qinhuai River was the cradle of Nanjing's culture, and from the Six Dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a place where lighted boats came and went at night, literati competed for talent, and courtesans competed for bridesmaids.The pier was the biggest entertainment district in Gangnam, and on both banks there were liquor stores with red lights and blue lights.The Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu wrote a poem called ``Staying in Qinhuai,'' and the name of Qinhuaihe became widely known.Smoke traps cold water, and the moon traps sand.Stay at Qinhuai at night, close to the liquor houseThe merchant woman doesn't know about the grudge of the exiled country.Flowers in the back garden chanting across the riverThe meaning of the poem is roughly as follows.A mist hangs over the surface of the river, and the moonlight shines hazy on the sand on the shore.When you dock your boat, there is a liquor store nearby, and a courtesan is singing seductively.If you ask me, aren't those flowers in the back garden?The courtesans probably don't even know the meaning of the song.The sound of joy and exile are blended into one, and it depicts the swaying waters of Qinhuai with red and blue lights reflecting on the water surface, which is a beautiful work.A group of houses modeled after the Ming and Qing dynasties were built surrounding the Qinhuai River, and Fuzhi Temple is also located in one of them.Fuzi refers to Confucius, and Fuzi Temple refers to the Confucius Temple.It began construction in the third year of Xiankang of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (337) and is said to be the first high school in China.Currently, it has been selected as one of the top five pedestrian streets in China.
