Tiger lives in the dragon plate, near the mountain and near the water.
There is a stone city in the west of Nanjing, so it is located in Liangqingshan, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Zhongshan in the east, such as winding Wolong. Therefore, people have always called Nanjing "the dragon plate on the back of a tiger". This name has a long history. According to Jaco's Lu Wu in the Jin Dynasty, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to Nanjing, and Zhuge Liang sighed, "The Dragon Plate in Zhongshan, surrounded by stones, is the residence of the son of heaven." In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Geng Xin said in "Jiangnan Fu": "In the past, the tiger lived in the dragon plate, yellow and purple." Liu Zhiji explained in Comrade Shi Shu in the Tang Dynasty: "The tiger lives in the dragon plate, and the emperor shows his respect." Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty said in Song of the Forever King: "The Dragon and Tiger lived in the Imperial Capital, and Jinling, Di Zi visited the ancient hills." It can be seen that the word "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been recognized by people.
Nanjing was once the capital of many dynasties and political powers. Wu Dong in the Three Kingdoms period and later the Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen all established their capitals here, which was called the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in history. Later, the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Revolution of 1911 and the Chiang Kai-shek National Government all established their capitals here briefly.
There are many changes in the name of Nanjing. During the Warring States Period, Jinling City was established in Chu, Moling in Qin, Jianye in Soochow, Jiankang in Southern Jin Dynasty, Nanjing in Ming Dynasty, jiangning house in Southern Tang and Qing Dynasty, and Tianjing in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Nanjing has a dangerous terrain, surrounded by mountains, high in the north and low in the south, which is easy to defend and not easy to attack. Qinhuai River flows into the river in the west, and there are many stone mountains along the river. From southwest to northeast, there are Stone Mountain, Maanshan, Wangsishan, Lulongshan and Mufu Mountain. In the northeast, there is the highest peak of Ningzhen Mountain, Zhongshan; There are Fuguishan, Zhoushan and Jilong Mountain in the north; There are sand states such as Zhou Changming, Zhanggongzhou and Egret in the south, forming Jiajiang River. These natural barriers guarded Nanjing, which made the rulers of past dynasties take a fancy to this land. Not only that, Nanjing has convenient transportation, and the Taihu Plain and Qiantang River Basin in the southeast are rich in water resources. Down the river, you can trace back to Jiujiang and Wuhan, and down the river, you can reach Shanghai. Together with Qinhuai River and Taihu Lake system, Nanjing extends in all directions.
Mr. Feng Shui described the development trend of Long Mai in Nanjing. When talking about the search for dragons in Nanjing, Li Sicong said: "If the tauren dragon in Nanjing starts from Wawu Mountain, from Lushan Mountain in the east to Piaoshuipu, Hengshan Mountain, Yuntai Mountain, Jishan Mountain and Zutang Mountain all have tauren twin peaks, then Saturn will be particularly rich. The one on the left, from Wushan to Xishan Bridge, goes back to the elbow and gives birth to mountains and hills. On the right, a branch is born in Cuiping Mountain, which falls from rotten stone mountain to Ganglong and ends in Matian. Draw Jiangjun Mountain, cross Huangnigang, start from Zhuxi Temple, arrive at Andemen, give birth to Yuhuatai, and stop at the gate above Jiagangmen. " This set of statements is too complicated, so we must not stick to it.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen commented on the geographical environment of Nanjing in the General Plan for the Founding of the People's Republic of China: "It is located in a beautiful and good area. There are mountains, deep waters and plains on land. These three kinds of excellence are one place, Yu Zhong, which is hard to find in the world metropolis. And it happens to be in the center of the richest areas on both sides of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The future development of Nanjing is limitless. "
Nanjing is a city where Chinese children share weal and woe. The Han nationality in the Central Plains crossed eastward to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty, resisting foreign nationalities and returning China's rivers and mountains. Daming Jiangshan rebelled against the foreign rule of Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Republic of China and the Han nationality rebelled against foreigners again and again, maintaining the revival of Chinese civilization. Therefore, after comparing the four ancient capitals of Chang 'an, Luoyang, Jinling and Yanjing, Mr. Zhu said: "These four metropolitan cities are rich in literature, handsome in people, beautiful in mountains and rivers and magnificent in weather, which is closely related to the national crisis, especially Jinling."
