China, a mountainous area in the western part of Jiangsu Province and the eastern suburb of Nanjing, was called Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty. There are Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum on the south slope, Ming Mausoleum on the west, Linggu Temple and other places of interest on the east, and Zijinshan Observatory, the largest observatory in China, on Tianbao Mountain on the west.
Zhongshan is also called Purple Mountain, because Ziyun haunts the top of the mountain. The confrontation between Zhongshan and Houhu laid the foundation for Nanjing's innate victory. In the meantime, there are dragons and tigers, and mountains and forests are integrated, which can be described as the essence of Nanjing's landscape humanities. Therefore, Zhuge Liang has the reputation of "Dragon Pan in Zhongshan, Tiger House of Stone, House of Emperor".
Ziyun haunts the top of Purple Mountain and roams the Meiling Palace in early winter like autumn. It was 2020, and I was roaming in Meiling Palace in Nanjing.
