Jiankang was the name of Nanjing in the Six Dynasties, the capital of Sun Wu, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the economic, cultural, political and military center of China in the Six Dynasties. It was also the first city with a population of over one million in the world and the largest city in the world at that time.
Jiankang city is 40 miles east and west, 40 miles north and south, and has a triple palace wall. Qinhuai in the south, Houhu in the north, Longpan in Zhongshan, and Huju in Shicheng. These gardens are mainly distributed in the northeast of the capital.

Jiankang City is a model of the perfect combination of China's traditional ethical system and nature, an outstanding representative of China's ancient capital, and occupies an important position in the history of the development of China's ancient capital. Its plane layout and architectural form have a far-reaching influence on later generations and East Asian countries. The Imperial Palace of the Six Dynasties is a magnificent palace, imitated by the capitals of the Northern Wei Dynasty and East Asian countries, connecting Qin and Han Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties, which deeply influenced the capital construction form of later generations.
Guan Yi's southern crossing enabled the Han nationality to preserve the ancient culture of China in Nanjing, which has been said in previous dynasties. The culture of the Southern Dynasties, represented by Jiankang, and ancient Rome in the west are also called the two centers of human classical civilization, which have had a far-reaching influence in human history.
The Qi Dynasty (479-502) was the second dynasty in the Southern Dynasties in China, and the shortest one among the Four Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. It lasted only 23 years and was founded by Xiao Daocheng. The title of Daqi was later changed to Jianyuan, which originated from the theory of divination and was called Xiao Qi or Nanqi in history. The Prophecy Book says: "The golden knife is sharp and the blade is cut together", which means that "Qi" will replace "Song".
Xiao Daocheng, the founding emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty, was the general of Liu Song, and was the general of the right army during the reign of Emperor Song Ming. After Song Taizu's death, he and Yuan charm, the official minister, jointly managed the state affairs. In 474 AD, Xiao Daocheng put down the rebellion of Liu Xiufan, the king of Guiyang, and served as the secretariat of Jiangzhou, the official to Zhongzhou, and General Ren Lingjun, mastering the Guards and supervising the military affairs of Wuzhou. At this time, the internal disputes of Liu Song regime were fierce, and Xiao Daocheng gradually seized power.
In 477 AD, Xiao Daocheng killed Emperor Liu Yu and made his younger brother Liu Zhun succeed him. Xiao Daocheng was crowned King of Qi. After that, the loyal Yuan charm, Shen Youzhi and others were eliminated. In 479 AD, Song Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Song Dynasty were forced to meditate and perish, and Nanqi was established.
In 502 AD, Qi and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were forced to meditate in Liang Wang. Xiao Yan proclaimed himself Liang Wudi, and Nanqi perished, enjoying the country for 23 years.
