Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is located in Zhongshan Scenic Area at the southern foot of Zijin Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. It is adjacent to Pingchuan River in front, surrounded by green peaks, Linggu Temple in the east, and Mingxiaoling Mausoleum in the west. The entire building complex is built along the mountain and gradually rises along the central axis from south to north. As the flow of people moves from south to north, the road is gentle. On both sides of the road is hung "Jinling Tips"-a photo exhibition corridor of Nanjing's local customs, economic development, tourist scenery, etc., walking under the shade. It is really a good experience to get to know all aspects of Nanjing at the same time.

I saw Zhong Shan from afar. It is said that the design inspiration of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is the bell from Zhongshan. The main buildings include Bo 'ai Square, tomb path, tomb gate, stone steps, stele pavilions, memorial halls and tomb chambers, etc., arranged on a central axis, reflecting the style of traditional Chinese architecture. When viewed from the sky, it looks like a "freedom bell" lying flat on a green velvet carpet. It means "Muduo warns the world". The tripod of filial piety at the foot of the mountain is the steeple of the bell, the half-moon square is the arc of the bell top, and the dome of the tomb at the top of the tomb is like a round pendulum hammer. It means "arousing the people to build the Republic of China." The stone archway at the south entrance and the gentle and long tomb path are like a suspension cable under a bell. The tomb road faces north to south and is built next to the mountains. It gradually rises along the central axis from south to north. On the central axis are squares, stone squares, tomb roads, tomb gates, stele pavilions, stone steps, large platforms, sacrificial halls, tomb chambers and other buildings, together with the surrounding walls, form the body of the bell. The highest memorial hall is the core building of the tomb. The plane distance from the archway is 700 meters, and the vertical drop is 73 meters. The tomb behind the memorial hall is represented by the bell buttons of a large clock.

Warm reminder, Sun Yat-sen Cemetery is open for free, but you need to make an online reservation in advance. When you get to the entrance gate, you just need to show the reservation information. It can be regarded as the latest interpretation of Mr. Li's "Three People's Principles"! The opening hours are from 8:30 to 17:00, but the doors of the memorial hall and tomb chamber are closed and are only open at appropriate times during important periods such as Mr. Sun Yat-sen's birthday, death anniversary and major reception activities.

Bo 'ai Square. The memorial archway of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, also known as Bo 'ai Fang, is the entrance to the southern end of the tomb road. Those who visit the tomb must pass through here. The entire archway has strong Chinese tradition and style. The archway is 11 meters high and 17.3 meters wide, with three rooms and four pillars soaring into the sky. The top of the Boai Fang archway is covered with blue glazed tiles. The four stone pillars are clamped in front and back at the feet of the pillars, and the bottom of the pillars is a rectangular stone seat. The archway is engraved with lotus petals, clouds and painted patterns of ancient buildings.

On the cross-lintel of the middle gate of the archway, there is a stone forehead engraved with the word "Charity" written by Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Therefore, this archway is called Bo Ai Fang. The two golden characters "Charity" on the lintel of the stone archway are broad and generous, and the space is open, giving people endless imagination. Dr. Sun Yat-sen usually likes to write these two words as gifts to others. Therefore, Nanjing is known as the capital of charity.

The Zhongshan Mausoleum Road, from Boai Fang to the Mausoleum Gate, has a total length of 440 meters and a width of 36 meters. It is divided into three roads. The middle road is 12 meters wide and is a reinforced concrete road. The two roads on the left and right are each 4.6 meters wide and each are planted with two rows of cypresses. Walking on the tomb road where cypresses and cypresses stand, the tomb visitors couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia and reverence for Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

Mausoleum Gate. The mausoleum gate is built in the center of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. In front of it is a wide cement platform that can accommodate more than 10,000 people. On both sides of the platform are carpet-like lawns. On the left and right lawns, there are ten evergreen boxwood balls and six precious thousand-headed pine trees that are symmetrical to each other. They are shaped like umbrellas and are extremely beautiful.

On both sides of the mausoleum gate, there are a pair of white marble stone lions, opening their mouths to face the front, looking lifelike. This pair of stone lions is used to separate both sides of the building, making the building more prominent and making the mausoleum more majestic. Only by climbing 20 granite steps can you reach the mausoleum gate. Its plane is rectangular, 24 meters wide, 8.8 meters deep, and 16.5 meters high. It is a traditional wooden structure in ancient China, but it is all built of granite. The patterns on its arches, beams, and arches are all carved. Very exquisite.

The roof of the Mausoleum Gate is of a single eaves Xieshan style, covered with blue glazed tiles. There are three arches in the mausoleum gate, the middle is large and the sides are small. The middle gate is closed, the right goes up and the left goes down. Above the main entrance, there is a stone forehead engraved with the four gold-plated characters "The world is for the public". This is Mr. Sun Yat-sen's handwriting. It is dignified and simple, heroic and handsome, reflecting Mr. Sun's pursuit of revolution.

Stele Pavilion. The Stele Pavilion of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is built on the second platform behind the Tianxia Gongmausoleum Gate. It is built of granite, with double eaves resting on the top of the mountain, and covered with blue glazed tiles. It is a wooden structure that imitates ancient Chinese traditions. It is 17 meters high and 12.2 meters wide., and the plane is approximately square.

The tombstone is 9 meters high and weighs dozens of tons. It is carved from a huge piece of granite. Three rows of gilded inscriptions are engraved vertically from right to left:

"The Chinese Kuomintang buried Prime Minister Mr. Sun here on June 1, 18th of the Republic of China", the character is Yan style, with smooth strokes, rigorous structure, and vigorous and powerful. When tombstones were built, tombstone materials were extensively solicited from various provinces in the country. Fujian Province selected a huge piece of granite stone tablet material. When it was shipped, it sank into the water shortly after being loaded on the ship due to its large size and extremely heavy weight. So, he had to rush to make a second piece of granite from Fujian and transport it to Nanjing. It took more than 40 days to move from Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing step by step to the foot of Zijin Mountain, and then from the foot of the mountain to the hillside stele pavilion site. This shows that the project was arduous and grand and the construction workers 'perseverance. perseverance. The large stone tablet we see in the stele pavilion now is made of the second piece of Fujian granite of that year.

Stone steps. From Bo 'ai Square to the Sacrifice Hall, there are 392 stone steps, 8 platforms, and a drop of 73 meters. The 392 stone steps symbolize the 392 million people in China at that time. From the stele pavilion to the memorial hall, there are 339 stone steps, symbolizing that there were 339 members of the Kuomintang Senate and House at that time. Each person symbolized as a step to carry forward the spirit of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and 9 of them symbolized the Great Harmony of Kyushu. The section facing you has a total of 290 steps and is divided into 8 sections, symbolizing the Five Rights Constitution of the Three People's Principles. The steps are all made of Suzhou Jinshan granite.

The stone steps are an important part of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum's architecture. They organically connect the archway, mausoleum gate, stele pavilion, and memorial hall, forming a solemn and majestic "alarm bell" whole. The designers and builders of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum cleverly divided the 392 stone steps into 10 sections. This layout is unique and unique. Looking up from bottom up, you can only see the steps but not the platform; but looking down from top down, you can only see the platform but not the steps. Continue to climb the 30, 42, and 54 steps from the seventh floor platform to reach the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors of the platform respectively. It is close to the tomb, and the slope is steep, which further highlights the majesty of the memorial hall and the tomb. Stone railings are built on both sides of the 126 stone steps, and two rows of railings are vertically arranged on the stone steps to divide the stone steps into three.

The memorial hall is the main building of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and is located on the tenth large platform with an altitude of 158 meters. The large platform is 137 meters wide from east to west and 38 meters deep from north to south. Located at the highest peak on the top of the mountain, it integrates Chinese and Western architectural styles. The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Memorial Hall absorbs the characteristics of traditional Chinese tombs layout and adopts a symmetrical arrangement with the central axis. The color of the building does not use the yellow glazed tiles and red walls of traditional imperial mausoleum. Instead, it uses a blue roof and gray white wall body. It reflects Mr. Sun Yat-sen's lifelong desire to pursue democracy.

The memorial hall is 28 meters long, 22.5 meters wide and 26 meters high. The exterior of the hall is entirely made of Hong Kong granite. The three arches of the memorial hall are carved with copper double doors. The words "Nation","People's Livelihood" and "Civil Rights" are engraved on the lintel. Zhang Jingjiang wrote six gilded seal characters, and the prime minister's handwriting "Heaven and Earth Righteousness" is embedded on the middle door. Four gilded characters.

Warm reminder, taking photos is not allowed when entering the memorial hall. The center of the memorial hall is dedicated to the sitting statue of Sun Yat-sen. It is 4.6 meters high. It was carved by the world famous sculptor Paul Rantesky in Italian white marble in Paris, France. The base is engraved with six embossed, which is a portrayal of Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary activities. Mr. Sun Yat-sen was dressed in a long robe and jacket, which was high in height and held a long scroll. His deep gaze gazing ahead gave unforgettable inspiration to the people standing here.

The marble walls of the east and west walls of the memorial hall are engraved with Sun Yat-sen's handwritten work "Outline for the Founding of the National Government" and the "Prime Minister's Will" written by Hu Hanmin and others. The dome is painted with a huge Kuomintang party emblem. The tomb door was closed, and there was no chance of seeing Sun Yat-sen's white marble statue.

On both east and west sides in front of the memorial hall stand a pair of tall beautiful tables, carved from Fujian granite. Huabiao is 12.6 meters high, with a lower part of 2 meters in diameter and an upper part of 1 meter in diameter. The cross-section of the Huabiao is hexagonal, and all six sides are decorated with embossed rolling moire patterns. Viewed from a distance, the Chinese watch seems to stick straight into the sky, with a strong three-dimensional feeling. On the stone seats on both sides of the large stone steps, there is a copper tripod with a copper cover. The beautiful table and the bronze tripod set off the sacrificial hall to be more magnificent and magnificent, and added an atmosphere of solemnity and mourning.

Walking out of the memorial hall, I saw blue skies and white clouds, green cypresses and pine trees, backed by green peaks, and facing the city, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion! Mr. Yao Xiang shouted at the wind and rain back then. When the country was in crisis, he raised his arms and shouted. The world accompanied him. The feudal dynasties destroyed weeds and weeds. He joined forces with Russia and the Communist Party to save the nation from crisis. He was jealous of talents, and the revolutionary cause became a pity! I am happy to be born in a prosperous age today, and I am grateful to my predecessors for their painstaking efforts to make a living for the people!

The Xiaojing Ding is located just south of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. It was cast by the Jinling Arsenal Factory. The Ding is 4.25 meters high, weighs about 5 tons, and has a maximum diameter of 1.21 meters on the abdomen. It is located on a stone platform about three meters high. The stone platform is divided into three layers, the lower layer is about 16 meters in diameter, the middle layer is 12.7 meters in diameter, and the upper layer is 4 meters in diameter. In the center of the stone platform, there is a round stone pier (also known as the tripod base) carved with white marble. The copper tripod is placed on this stone pier.

The Ding of filial piety is cast in bronze and has a unique shape. Structurally, it can be divided into three parts: the lower part is a copper drum-shaped base, the middle part is the main body of the copper tripod, with double ears and a circular abdomen. The upper part of the mouth of the copper tripod is a six-column and three-eaves hexagonal peak pavilion. The roof is covered with small tiles. There is a hexagonal rectangular copper stele erected in the pavilion. The full text of the Book of Filial Piety written by Dai Jitao's mother, Mrs. Huang Tai.

Coming down from Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, I saw a schematic diagram of Zhongshan Scenic Area and suddenly remembered a poem by the chairman: Zhongshan rises in the wind and rain, and millions of lions cross the river. We should have the courage to pursue the poor bandits, and not learn from the overlord for fame. If the sky is affectionate, the sky is also old, and the right path in the world is vicissitudes.

Part 2: Presidential Palace

The earliest understanding of the Presidential Palace can be traced back to the illustrations in primary school history textbooks. The impression is particularly deep. It was the scene of soldiers standing at the Presidential Palace changing the national flag after the People's Liberation Army captured Nanjing. That photo made the Presidential Palace very powerful and gave people a very tall impression. On the way down from Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum to the Presidential Palace, I recalled some illustrations in history textbooks. I didn't realize that it was so tall until I came to my eyes. In fact, this is just a gatehouse, but the flag is planted here.

The Presidential Palace is located at No. 292 Changjiang Road, Xuanwu District, Nanjing City. It is the largest and most completely preserved building complex among modern architectural relics in China. The building complex covers an area of about 50,000 square meters. It contains both ancient Chinese traditional Jiangnan gardens and modern architectural relics from the eastward spreading period. Its history can be traced back to the Marquis of Guide and the King of Han in the early Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it was built into Jiangning Weaving Office, Liangjiang Governor Office, etc., and used as a palace for the southern tour of Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. After the Taiping Rebellion established its capital in Tianjing (present-day Nanjing), it was expanded into Tianwang Mansion on this basis. On January 1, 1912, Sun Yat-sen was sworn in as interim president of the Republic of China here and opened it into the Grand Presidential Palace, and later became the President of the Nanjing National Government.

On March 29, 1853, the Taiping Army occupied Nanjing and established Tianjing as the capital, establishing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime. He temporarily stayed in the Fanxi Government Office, and soon began to repair the Liangjiang Governor's Office. In May, the Tianwang Palace (today's Wangfu) was built on the basis of the original Liangjiang Governor's Office, and then expanded into Tianwang Palace with the original Liangjiang Governor's Office as the center. By November, a fire accidentally caught fire and razed to the ground.

In February of the fourth year of Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty (1854), Tianjing Tianwang Palace broke ground again. On June 1, the third year of Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1864), the young king Hong Tianguifu succeeded to the throne. Tianjing fell on July 19, and then the Qing army massacred the city. After the Hunan army broke through Tianjing, the Taiping Army set fire to the city. After the Hunan army plundered heavily, it also set fire to various places and burned down palace buildings.

After the Qing army entered the Pass, the former site of the Ming and Han Palace was turned into Jiangning Weaving Office, Jiangnan Governor Office, and Liangjiang Governor Office. They were used as "palaces" when Kangxi and Qianlong went to Jiangnan in the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi went to Jiangnan for six times and lived in the Jiangning Weaving Mansion at that time four times. Therefore, the location of Jiangning Weaving Mansion was called the Grand Palace and it is still in use today.

The Taiping Rebellion Movement led by Hong Xiuquan swept across the country and established its capital in Tianjing (now Nanjing). Although it ended in failure due to the joint encirclement and suppression of Chinese and foreign reactionary forces, his idea that the tillers have their own fields, pursuing one family in the world and sharing peace was actually a forward-looking move. It dealt a great blow to the Qing Dynasty, accelerated the fall of the last feudal dynasty, and also attacked foreign invaders, allowing them to see the infinite potential of Chinese farmers.

The throne of the Heavenly King reproduces the past glory of the Tianchao Palace. There are also some cultural relics and pictures on display in the indoor exhibition, reflecting some historical events of the Taiping Rebellion in Tianjing, and embodying the "three days" in content, namely, the Tianwang, Tianjing, and the Tianchao Palace. Features.

The Museum of Modern Chinese History covers an area of 90,000 square meters and is divided into three visiting areas. The central area (central axis) is mainly the National Government, the Presidential Palace and its affiliated institutions; the western area is Sun Yat-sen's temporary presidential office, secretariat and West Garden, as well as the General Staff Headquarters; the eastern area is mainly the former site of the Executive Yuan, stables and East Garden. A series of exhibition halls and historical materials displays are distributed in these three areas.

The building is very distinctive. The main body is European architecture and is very exquisite. The corridor has obvious Chinese characteristics. The red lanterns, corridor red pillars and corridor hollow format perfectly blend Chinese and Western architectural elements, giving people both retro and modern. A festive feeling.

The conference room of Zichao Building (Presidential Office Building) has a simple layout

In the living room of Zichao Building. Before the official ceremony, Chiang Kai-shek, Lin Sen or Li Zongren all rested here for a short time, and also served as the reception room for internal guests. There is a suite that serves as Chiang Kai-shek's temporary office. Sometimes Chiang Kai-shek does not visit the presidential office building but works here. Negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in 1946 were also held here. On February 27, 1949,"Acting President" Li Zongren met here with Yan Huiqing, Shao Lizi, Zhang Shizhao and others of the "Shanghai Peace Delegation" who had returned from Peking.

The architecture that combines Chinese and Western cultures gives people a very strong visual impact

Zichao Building is located at the northern end of the central axis of the Presidential Palace. This office building was built under Lin Sen, Chairman of the National Government. Lin Sen has the name Zichao and has served as chairman of the National Government for the longest time, so people are accustomed to calling it "Zichao Building." Construction of the building started in 1934 and was completed in December 1935. The main body of the "Zichao Building" has five floors and partial six floors. The first level was first the Civil Affairs Office of the National Government, and later became the office of the Presidential Office's Documentation Bureau. The second floor is the Office of the President and Vice President. The one facing south is Chiang Kai-shek's office, and the one facing north is Vice President Li Zongren's office. The third floor is the National Government Conference Room. The foyer is under repair.

Fuyuan (East Garden) was the garden of the Governor's Office of Liangjiang during the Qing Dynasty. East Garden was built here during the Taiping Rebellion. At that time, there were stone boats, lakes, rockery, towers, pavilions and other buildings. It was destroyed when the Qing army invaded Tianjing in 1864. During the National Government period, it was part of the Executive Yuan. In 2002, part of the original East Garden was rebuilt based on historical data. An organic combination of Jiangnan garden style and Western landscape layout, rockery, greenery, and easy scenery. You can place a small round pond between the gardens, with a European fountain in the center.

Sun Yat-sen's living room. Built in 1909. Small blue tile wooden structure on a hard mountain top and a two-story Chinese-style building. It was originally the residence of senior aides of the Liangjiang Governor's Office of the Qing Dynasty. From January to April 1912, Sun Yat-sen lived here during his tenure as interim president of the Republic of China. Upstairs are the bedroom and office, downstairs are the reception room and dining room, as well as the guard room and kitchen. When the eldest son Sun Ke and Sun Yat-sen's wife Lu Muzhen came to Nanjing with their daughters Sun Yan and Sun Wan, they also lived with Sun Yat-sen here. On March 25, Mrs. Lu left Nanjing, and the two daughters asked Song Ailing, Sun Yat-sen's English secretary. Until April 3, Sun Yat-sen left office.

How simple the layout is, I imagine that the presidential office of a country is so small and simple, and I feel admiration!

Xihua Hall. In the early 20th century, some buildings in Nanjing were influenced by Western eclectic architectural trends, and they all competed to imitate Western architectural forms and took pride in it. This yellow Western-style bungalow is a typical imitation of the Italian Renaissance. It was built under the term of Duan Fang, the governor of Liangjiang in the Qing Dynasty, and was completed by the last governor, Zhang Renjun. Because it is located to the west of the Governor's Office, it is also called Xihua Hall. The entire building faces south and has seven bays. After January 1912, it became the Office of the Provisional President of the Republic of China.

Xuyuan (West Garden) was the Garden of the King's Mansion in the early Ming Dynasty. It was named after the word "Xu" in the name of King Zhu Gaoxu of the Han Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it was the Garden of the Governor's Office of Liangjiang River. The Taiping Rebellion expanded it when it built the Tianchao Palace. Because the garden is located on the west side of the palace, it is also called the "West Garden" and is symmetrical to the East Garden. The city was destroyed when the Qing army broke down, but Zeng Guofan rebuilt it. Xuyuan is a typical Jiangnan garden and is integrated with the Presidential Palace. Many famous ruins and attractions are still preserved, such as Shifang, Xijialou, Wangfei Pavilion, Yulan Pavilion, Yinxin Stone House, etc.

Stone boat. Also known as the untied boat, it is located on the south side of Xuyuan, standing in the Taiping Lake with rippling water and light."It is like an untied boat, but it is a virtual traveler." In 1746, Yin Jishan, then governor of the two rivers of the Qing Dynasty, built this stone boat to welcome Emperor Qianlong's second trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

Wangfei Pavilion was built during the Kangxi period and rebuilt in the ninth year of Tongzhi

Tongyin Museum, rebuilt in 1870 (ninth year of Tongzhi)

Tongyinguan Zeng Guofan played chess

Yu Yue wrote the poem stele "Mooring at Night on Maple Bridge", which was copied by the Reform Government in 1939

Walking out of the Presidential Palace is like cruising through the long river of history. Looking at the national flag flying in the wind on the gate of the Presidential Palace and the tall buildings across the street, my thoughts suddenly returned to my eyes-the country is peaceful and the people are safe, breaking the waves and moving forward...

Part 3: Confucius Temple-Qinhuai River

The Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt is located in Qinhuai District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. With the Confucius Temple as the core, the ten-mile Qinhuai as the axis, and the Ming City Wall as the link, it connects many national key cultural relics protection units, provincial and municipal cultural relics protection units. With Confucianism and imperial examination culture, folk culture, etc. as the connotation, it integrates tourism, food shopping, science education, festival culture and other functions. It is a gathering place for Nanjing's history and culture, and it is also a famous open national 5A-level tourist attraction in China.

At the entrance of the Qinhuai River Scenic Area, there are real traffic, and the high horse-head wall gives a strong visual impact on the Hui-style buildings in the south of the Yangtze River

The sky is getting darker, but the flow of people is getting denser and denser. The antique shops of all kinds are busy. When you come here, you can't see the scene of rushing steps. It's a slow pace. Although it is extremely lively, it gives people the beauty of peace and tranquility.

Confucius Temple is one of the four major Confucian temples in China. It is the hub of Jiangnan culture in ancient China and a gathering of historical and cultural relics in Jinling. It is not only the cultural and educational center of Nanjing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also the cultural and educational complex ranked first among the southeastern provinces. It is the largest in China. Traditional ancient market.

The Qinhuai scenery belt of Confucius Temple is rich in history and humanity. Confucius Temple snacks rank first among the four major snacks in China. The Confucius Temple Lantern Festival held every year from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival is one of the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists and the most famous in China. Lantern Festival activities attract countless friends to enjoy the lanterns and spend the festival together. They have strong local characteristics and cultural atmosphere.

I had a preliminary understanding of the Qinhuai River along the embankment. I really had the kind of realm of "the bright moon in the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty". I wandered along the embankment along the Qinhuai River and watched the cruise ships in the river riding on the waves. There were tourists on both sides of the river. The lights were brightly lit, and it was really a person swimming in a painting. The wonderful feeling was not immersive but unspeakable.

Modern lighting art adds a lot of color to the lantern festival

The world of light can never be reproduced and displayed with a lens. The cruise ship is silent, but the sound of waves beating on both sides of the strait and the various lights create wonderful pictures

There is only one word suitable for tourists waiting to take a cruise ship to see the Qinhuai River for ten miles-looking forward to it. I thought there was no chance. After asking again, I still have a ticket. It's just a set ticket. There is no separate boat ticket. That is to say, boat tickets, especially at night, if you book in advance, will definitely not be available when the time comes. Without hesitation, I bought a set ticket (including wearing VR glasses on the top of the ticket office to see the ancient and modern scenery of the Qinhuai River, the Chinese Imperial Examination Museum), because what was the point of experiencing Nanjing without experiencing the Qinhuai River?

Since I had bought all the tickets, I shouldn't waste every opportunity. So I visited the China Imperial Examination Museum and sat down on the second floor of the mountain with glasses on and quietly appreciated the historical changes of the Qinhuai River in ancient and modern times. Although it was not the theme, this edge ball was still worth playing. In fact, the VR picture was really average and needed to be improved.

How about it? Standing on the top of the second floor of the ticketing center and overlooking the tourists is also a good feeling. Standing high and looking far away, you can have a panoramic view of the core attractions here, which is also a gain.

Jiangnan Gongyuan, also known as Nanjing Gongyuan, is located in the southeast corner of Nanjing City and on the east side of Nanjing Confucius Temple Academy. It is part of the Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt and one of the three major ancient buildings in the Confucius Temple area. There are 20644 examination houses alone, plus hundreds of ancillary buildings, covering an area of more than 300,000 square meters. From the completion of the Gongyuan to the abolition of the imperial examinations in the late Qing Dynasty, Jiangnan Gongyuan provided more than 800 top scholars, 100,000 Jinshi scholars, and millions of scholars to the country. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, more than half of the country's officials came from Jiangnan Gongyuan.

Jiangnan Gongyuan Chinese Imperial Examination Museum is the only professional museum in China that reflects the Chinese Imperial Examination System. It is the center of the Chinese Imperial Examination System, the Chinese Imperial Examination Culture Center and the Chinese Imperial Examination Cultural Relics Collection Center

When it comes to imperial examinations, some people may criticize them until they are completely ruined, thinking that it is a legacy of feudal society. In fact, we cannot look at the past from a modern and contemporary perspective. The only thing that can give ordinary people a say in feudal society is the imperial examinations system. You can say that this system is bad, but weren't all the elites in society born under this system?

There is a saying that "the talents of the south and the generals of the north". Here, I have more understanding of this. Indeed, the south, or Jiangnan, pays great attention to talent training. This can be seen from the ancient monuments, inscriptions, ancient courtyards, ancestral halls, etc. preserved in the lower part.

Top scorer, second runner-up, potential talent... Being an official after learning well was the highest pursuit of feudal literati in the past. Even romantic poets like Li Bai had a passion for politics, let alone ordinary people. Moreover, examinations were hard work, especially the top scorer in martial arts. Doesn't we mainly rely on examinations to select talents now? There are still many things that have been figured out in ancient and modern times, which are worth discussing.

Many young students wanted to be named on the gold list, so there was an endless stream of people who came here to take photos.

The list has been released, and no one has asked about it. At this time, there are people who are proud of the spring breeze and have seen all Chang 'an flowers in a day. Some people cry with joy and are as crazy and foolish as Fan Jin. As a result, the Qinhuai River has witnessed too many romantic scenery and snow. It has also witnessed more cold and warm human feelings

Kuixing Pavilion. Attached is a poem "Kuixing Poetry"-I am the leader of the twenty-eight nights, and I dominate the rise and fall of the article. I have my own points to win the top prize, but I rely on the top prize. No matter how high your article is, you are afraid that the red pen will not nod. Since ancient times, there has been no evidence for articles, so I hope Kuixing will nod.

Come down from the Kuixing Pavilion and enter the theme of tonight--take a cruise ship and take a tour of Qinhuai for ten miles. It is not too much to describe the flow of people. Maybe people need to let go after the epidemic is over. Maybe the Qinhuai River is too famous. The sycamore trees planted attract tourists naturally, but it is in order. People consciously line up and let whoever should go. There is no congestion, noise, etc., like all of us.

I couldn't hear the sound of rowing, but I heard the water and photographed the shadows on both sides of the river. It was a good opportunity. Once the boat was full, it was released. Fortunately, there were less than ten people in line in front, which means that they could have priority in choosing seats. It was lucky to sit in the middle and on the left, so that you could have a panoramic view of the Qinhuai River when you traveled ten miles.

Sitting on a boat and walking on the shore, standing on the top of the Gongyuan, it feels completely different. The scene of a light monster leaving the land slowly changes with the cruise ship, getting closer, farther, farther, closer... Everything is changing, everything is the unknown of expectation. In early May, the temperature is just right, and the cool breeze blows across my ears accompanied by the sound of running water, and the whole person is immersed in the arms of the gentle Qinhuai family.

Good times always pass quickly. Unconsciously, more than an hour passes in this pleasant and prosperous aftertaste. I return to the starting point. In the blink of an eye, I see the platform again. I return to the arms of Qinhuai people again. It is almost eleven o'clock in the evening., the number of people boarding the cruise ship gradually decreased. I returned to the shore again and looked back at the boat, the water and the railing. It was nostalgia, admiration and the heart.

Back in the streets again, the bustling tourists are still there, injecting endless vitality into Jinling at night, blooming with passionate tension like spring...

The Confucius Temple ushered in the moment of closing its doors for cultivation amidst the hustle and bustle of the day. Will the Master think that he would be so respected by people two thousand years later? Will you also feel the closeness of people today in the Qinhuai River?! Recalling the past and thinking about the present, from the time Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucianism to the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relied on Confucianism and eliminated hundreds of schools to establish the "Han" culture, the Master is no longer a symbol, but a kind of thought and belief closely related to successive dynasties. It exudes an admirable light in the clear wind, bright moon and flowing water!
