Nanjing, a place with stories

✨✨Zhu Ziqing said: Visiting Nanjing is like visiting an antique shop, with traces of erosion of the times everywhere.

✨✨The city of Nanjing is like a thick history book, with every page carrying traces and stories of the times. Before I came, I thought three days would be enough to visit Nanjing. After I came, I found that it was far from enough. Nanjing is not only the beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in the imperial state of Jinling; it is also the poetic Jinling where smoke shrouds the cold water and the moon shrouds the sand, and the night mooring near the Qinhuai tavern; it is also the painful Nanjing that has experienced the catastrophe of war and recorded the suffering of the nation; it is also the heroic Nanjing where the wind and rain on Zhongshan Mountain rise in the yellow, and millions of lions cross the river.

✨✨The encounter with Nanjing was amazing and hasty. I have been to the Presidential Palace and the Meiling Palace, strolled along Wutong Avenue, worshipped Jiming Temple, visited the Music Stage, shed tears at the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, visited the Nanjing Museum, walked through the Confucius Temple and the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and swam across the Qinhuai River. However, I only read the preface of the book Nanjing.

✨✨The history of Nanjing is a magnificent epic. Every brick and tile, every city and wall here carries thousands of years of vicissitudes and cultural heritage. Those cultural relics that have passed through thousands of years silently tell the history, whether prosperous or declining.

✨✨Ten thousand years are like a moment, and a glance is a thousand years.
