The
Yangtze River rushing past in the north of the city, Xuanwu hidden in the
center of city. The Yangtze River and Xuanwu Lake water culture is the most
positive aspect in Nanking. Nanking, which is the masculine images show in the
world, but to really understand Nanking, have to travel Mochou Lake, Egret
Island, Qinhuai River, which presents the gentlest scene in Nanking, which is
the real Nanking.

Today,
in the Confucius Temple, scholars still drinking and chanting songs, dragon
boats on the Qinhuai River is still comfortable cruising. However, today's
Nanking, not the old Jinling. Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers of War” a little
more poetic and revelry, than by Yu PingBo and Zhu ZiQing "Paddling sound
in the Qinhuai River " a bit less charm and elegance.

To travel around the Confucius Temple, Qinhuai River best
time in the evening. When night comes to the Confucius Temple, look like
28-year-old woman. At this time, her best scene is also close to her best time.
Huge arch like space shuttle, set foot in one small step into the arch, times
have changed and there is a big step. Skyscrapers instead of gray bricks, tiles, and wharf wall, the speed is like game
"Age of Empires" from the Middle Ages to the modern success of the
upgrade, but this upgrade is just the reverse.

We
walked along the ancient memorial arch of Qinhuai River, the night is accompanied
all the way, and the breeze swaying the guise of wine and flickering lanterns.
Then move forward, the heart more trance. A few hundred meters of the old
street, every step is one year. When we arrived at Qinhuai River besides,
facing the Jiangnan Examination Hall and the statue of Tang Bohu, the body is
completely in the Ming Dynasty.

Jiangnan
Examination Hall is the center of Qinhuai River. In the Ming and Qing Dynasty, Jiangnan
Examination Hall is the imperial examination and will try to place the southern
region. The front of the Jiangnan Examination Hall, is that famous
"Qinhuai people" restaurant. From the examination room during the day
and night into the pub, it is the result of the examination of students who
real life. Whether admitted or not, they have a good reason to drink. Those who
pass the examination, banquet guests in boats in the Qinhuai River. Examination
losers in beside Qinhuai River, drinking alone in the moonlight.

All
kinds of boats, the migration wave in the light and dark, look like giant
fireflies dancing in the night sky. Learn by Yu PingBo and Zhu ZiQing
"Paddling sound in the Qinhuai River ", give up yuppie style into a
wine shop on the shore, sit quietly, tasting wine to admire the view. I cannot
hear the singer sing-song at the bar. Qinhuai River beside also cannot see with
flags flying embroidery workshop. Today's Qinhuai River, still bustling, but
did not attend the Qinhuai woman and a bit lonely. But on second thought, when
the stage of Qinhuai woman, are on the eve of the Depression in Nanking, then
relieved.

In
Nanking, whether on foot, bike, take the car people, near the city wall of the
Ming Dynasty, and always slow down. Touch the blue bricks fantasy, guess who
will be in the dream one hundred years ago? One hundred years later, who would
in this around? On the walls of nowadays, have no the defenders, but every
corner of the wall is someone in silently waiting for you, before the Gate of
China in the morning, before the sun rises, people gather together early
morning exercises.
Walking
through the rain under the walls, it is a pleasant thing. However, to watch out
for those green wall of ivy, they can use blade retention of water droplets,
borrowed the wind form in people's heads in the secondary precipitation,
however, be dew wet might not a good thing. When the rain stopped, people took
shelter from the rain in Gate of China, Nanking, out of the gate, along the wall
stretches away, or quietly sat down against a tall wall, let the warmth of the
sun drying droplets of water on the head.

For many years to have such a legend, "the
Forbidden City are north, south have presidential palace". Area is far
less than in the presidential palace, was only one of sixth, and its influence
is not inferior to the Palace Museum. Historians Mao GuQi said: "the
Palace Museum", it is a sign of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the
"presidential palace", it is a symbol of the end of two thousand
years of feudal rule in China. So, "presidential palace" of social
and political values are not inferior to the Forbidden City. “It seems that the
presidential palace and seems to be a modern history of the museum.

When
the city fixed indifferent faces, let people forget the changes of the seasons,
in Nanking people is lucky. Ten dynasties left the city, make it seem a bit
different from other city. Qinhuai River, The Nanking Circumvallation, the
presence of the presidential palace, so that Nanking has particularly historic
story; but in the main urban areas, Xuanwu Lake, Purple Mountain and the city was
cohesion, always can touch nature, people do not need to intentionally seek,
just stay in this city, will feel natural and historical landscape.
