Nanjing Tiger Dragon Brand:

When it comes to the history and culture of Nanjing, it is always inevitable to talk about the topic of "Wang Jinling Qi". Because Sun Quan, the capital of the Three Kingdoms, established the inheritance of Wu, the subsequent dynasties took it as their capital for less than a hundred years, and most of them were in peace, making "Wang Jinling Qi" the fate of a short-lived dynasty.

The origin of the saying "Jinling is the spirit of the king" can be traced back to the golden burial in Chu Weiwang thousands of years ago. After Qin Shihuang pacified Wang Qi, Sun Quan accepted the advice of counselor Zhang Hong and finally settled here, and the theory of "Jinling Wang Qi" was finally implemented.

It is said that the real reason why Sun Quan built the capital here is the special terrain of Nanjing-"encirclement of dragons and tigers". In addition, "Long Pan Hu Ju" has also become a unique title for Nanjing City in past dynasties.
