Since the founding of Nanjing by Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, the city has been endowed with a strong religious and cultural atmosphere. Various thousand-year-old temples can be seen everywhere, the most representative of which is Jiming Temple. Regarding the history of this temple, Mr. Yamano will not elaborate on it. Every spring cherry season, the ancient Jiming Temple is full of poetry. The cherry blossom avenue outside the thousand-year-old temple is like a reversal of time and space and arrives in the capital of the Central Plains in the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.

Cherry blossoms in Jiangnan are represented by Wuxi Yuantouzhu. In fact, in addition to Yuantouzhu cherry blossoms, Nanjing cherry blossoms are also famous for a long time. As early as the Ming Dynasty, there were folk festivals for cherry viewing in Nanjing. The most concentrated landmarks in Nanjing's cherry blossom base are Xuanwu Lake Cherry Blossom Island and Jiming Temple. In March 2020, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions entered low-risk areas, so I came to Nanjing Jiming Temple to admire the beautiful cherry blossoms during the cherry blossom season in March.

A road leading to Jiming Temple has its own name, and its beautiful name is Jiming Temple Road. There are many cherry trees on both sides of Jimingsi Road. From the end of March to the beginning of April in the Gregorian calendar every year, the entire road is surrounded by blooming cherry blossoms into a fairyland, which makes people feel happy. At the same time, Jimingsi Road can also lead to Xuanwu Lake and Nanjing City Wall, basically including Nanjing's main cherry viewing spots.

There are many famous ancient temples in Nanjing, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the city with the largest number of ancient temples in the entire Jiangnan region. Everyone knows the history, architecture and culture of this thousand-year-old temple, but have you ever seen the scenery of Jiming Temple during the cherry blossom season? I don't know how to describe it, but poetry might be more appropriate?

The oldest temple in Nanjing is Jiming Temple on the bank of Xuanwu Lake. This temple is also mentioned in the famous poem. The original text is "There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many towers are in the misty rain". At the same time, Jiming Temple is also the most famous temple in the Southern Dynasty. The temple ranks first among the 480 temples. This shows the status of Jiming Temple to Nanjing's ancient temples! Affected by the 2020 epidemic, the temple will not be open to the public in March, but the ancient temple buildings outside the door complement each other with the cherry blossoms and are as beautiful as a picture!

A few hundred meters long Jiming Temple Road has been transformed into a beautiful cherry blossom avenue under the decoration of spring sakura. It is really beautiful to turn the supposed solemn temple road into a romantic cherry blossom avenue. If you come to Jimingsi Road, you will definitely appreciate the charm of Cherry Blossom Avenue!

The corner of the temple roof that usually looks ordinary becomes very poetic during the cherry blossom period. With the backdrop of cherry blossoms, these retro and solemn ancient temple buildings have been transformed into landscapes that are intertwined with history and culture. I wonder if you like this kind of scenery as much as you like Yamano-san?

Cherry blossoms on Jimingsi Road in Nanjing generally bloom between March 25 and April 9 every year. The flowering period is generally about 14 days. The temperature in spring is different every year, so the specific time when the cherry blossoms bloom is also different. 2020 is a warm spring, so the cherry blossoms bloom earlier. Yamanojun went to Jiming Temple in Nanjing on March 27 to see that the cherry blossoms were fully in full bloom. He will help you explore the way again this year when he has time.

Cherry blossoms are actually not exclusive to the Japanese. Cherry blossoms were already popular in the Central Plains as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties. However, at that time, cherry blossoms were everywhere as plants in ordinary people's homes. At that time, the Japanese saw that every household in the Central Plains had cherry blossoms, which looked very shocking and beautiful, so they began to cultivate cherry blossoms. Over time, cherry blossoms were mistakenly thought by people to be exclusive to the Japanese, and they were not at all.

The blooming cherry blossoms are very energetic in Shanyejun's lens, indicating that a better year is coming. Appreciating the cherry blossoms carefully does have a very poetic beauty. In three months, you can go to Nanjing's Jiming Temple to enjoy the spring cherry blossoms. Are you looking forward to it?

The northern end of Jimingsi Road is the Nanjing City Wall and Xuanwu Lake. The ancient city wall, the royal imperial lake and the thousand-year-old temple become so poetic in the spring cherry blossom season. Therefore, I suggest that everyone come to Nanjing to enjoy cherry blossoms and slow down to enjoy the most beautiful scenery of the year.

In winter, Jiming Temple seems to be in a depression, and the cherry trees are also in a state of "dead branches and leaves". However, as soon as spring begins, these trees begin to have vitality. Beautiful cherry blossoms can bloom on the very small branches and leaves of the spring cherry tree.

This ancient and solemn Jiming Temple is so warm, romantic and beautiful under the shade of spring saurries and sunset. It is as elegant and beautiful as the scenery written by ancient painters! After seeing the cherry blossoms of Jiming Temple taken by Yamano-kun in March 2020, do you also plan to follow my route to enjoy the poetic scenery of ancient Jiming Temple in March this year?
