Who will be your fourth city for graduate school: Nanjing?

One night more than 80 years ago, two young literary men in their twenties hired a boat to paddle the Qinhuai River. Then they each wrote a long article titled "The Qinhuai River in the Shadow of Oars and Lanterns". The two prose writers are Zhu Ziqing and Yu Pingbo, and these two essays have become famous works in the history of Chinese literature. Zhu Ziqing said: "Visiting Nanjing is like visiting an antique shop. There are traces of erosion of the times everywhere. You can touch it, pay homage to it, and daydream leisurely; think of the rise and fall of the Six Dynasties, the romance of Wang Xie, and the beauty of Qin Huai. These may just be It’s an old tune, but it changes after some consideration from the family. “Nanjing is such a unique city: when you think it is simple, it still seems that you can’t express it accurately in a thousand words, and it’s hard to understand at a glance.

Nanjing is big, and this bigness comes from its unique geography and profound historical heritage. It is a city with mountains, rivers and forests, and has the beauty of mountains and rivers; it is a famous historical city, lingering with a sense of vicissitudes of ups and downs; it is a cultural center, with the reveries and emotions of ancient and modern literati flowing everywhere. She controls the Yangtze River and guards the Beijing-Shanghai artery. It is known as the "gateway to the southeast and the throat to the north and south". In the east of the city, there are dragons and dragons in Zhongshan Mountain, and in the west of the city, there are tigers in Shicheng. Qinhuai River and Jinchuan River meander through the city, while Xuanwu Lake and Chou Lake are as quiet as virgins. These scenic spots were discovered by literati of all dynasties in seclusion until Qianlong, and finally the forty-eight sceneries of Jinling were captured.

Every corner here records the vicissitudes of the imperial capital. Since King Gou Jian of Yue ordered Fan Li to build the city in 472 BC, Nanjing has a history of 2,500 years of city construction. In 1366 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang built the city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor and changed the name of Yingtianfu to Nanjing. This was the beginning of the naming of Nanjing. From 1853 to 1864, the Taiping Rebellion established its capital in Nanjing, which was called Tianjing. On New Year's Day, 1912, Sun Yat-sen took office as the interim president of the Republic of China in Nanjing, made Jiangning the capital, and changed Jiangning to Nanjing Prefecture. In April of the same year, the provisional government moved to Beijing. In 1927, the Republic of China restored its capital to Nanjing and carried out municipal construction with an urban trunk road network as the main body, forming the basic framework of today's Nanjing. During this period, the Japanese army invaded and occupied Nanjing in 1937, and Nanjing suffered serious damage. It can be said that no city can intertwine the pride and sorrow of the history of the Chinese nation like Nanjing: it is the place where many dynasties flourished, and it is also the place where more emperors hurriedly resigned from their temples; The solitary style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the soft and gentle style of the Six Dynasties have been immersed in the smoke for a long time, but they have cultivated the majestic Ming Dynasty culture; she has not only experienced the most prosperous golden age of the Chinese nation, but it has also been overshadowed by Chinese history. He suffered the most painful humiliation and endured the most heart-wrenching pain. The relics and scenery scattered in the city have left such contradictory and complex marks everywhere. Nanjing is surrounded by complicated historical complexes that make people constantly cut and confused. Such people and things are still scattered among the bricks, tiles, flowers and grass, even the soil and dust in Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Yanziji, Presidential Palace, Memorial Hall, Linggu Temple, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Xuanwu Lake...

Economically, some people say that Nanjing, which ranked third during the Republic of China, has now been criticized. It cannot compare with cities such as Shanghai and Shenzhen, and also lags behind Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou. Indeed, Nanjing is in a stage of adjustment. After going through many twists and turns over several years, this strong city also needs to take a breath and find its proper positioning again. From another perspective, Nanjing still has many advantages over Su Xichang. For example, Nanjing is one of the four major scientific research and education center cities in the country. It is an important higher education and scientific research base in the country and has a number of domestic first-class universities and scientific research institutions. It has been listed as one of the "Forty Excellent" cities in China's investment hard environment by nine national ministries and commissions. Nanjing also won the Special Honor Award of the United Nations Habitat Award and the 2008 "China Habitat Environment Award". Not long ago, it successfully won the title of "National Civilized City" and ranked among the cities with the most educational happiness and the most soft power in China in 2009. The city ranks among the cities with the most educational development potential in China.

Nanjing is also a complex of "water culture" and "mountain culture", and is the meeting point of "northern culture" and "southern culture".

Nanjing people are simple but not ignorant, elegant but not hypocritical; Nanjing people are tolerant but not exclusive, philanthropic but not pretentious; Nanjing people are smart but not showy, and spiritual but tough. The famous scholar who came to Nanjing casually was not a great master, but he had a great heart. The father and son of the calligraphers Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the painting saint Gu Kaizhi, the scientific giant Zu Chongzhi of the Southern Dynasty, the calligrapher Yan Zhenqing of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Changling, the master of the Qijue, Cao Xueqin, the author of "A Dream of Red Mansions" in the Qing Dynasty, the talented scholar Yuan Mei, the patriotic thinker Wei Yuan, and the modern Tao Xingzhi and Xu Beihong , Fu Baoshi, Liu Haisu, etc., they are as bright as stars, too numerous to mention. Contemporary Nanjing has cultivated and brought together too many outstanding talents. There are 43 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Ningxia, 28 academicians of the Academy of Engineering, and 430,000 university students, ranking among the best in the country. A group of civilian heroes such as Zhou Guangyu and Li Yuanlong also emerged in Nanjing. Openness and openness, sincerity, fraternity, entrepreneurship and innovation are the unique spiritual wealth of Nanjing people in building a harmonious society.

As for food, Nanjing cuisine has always been called Jingsu cuisine, and the chefs call themselves "Jingsu gang". Nanjing snacks can be traced back to the ancient Six Dynasties period, with more than 80 varieties. There are also meat and vegetables, sweet and salty, colorful and fragrant, especially the eight unique dishes of Qinhuai. In addition, Nanjing’s duck dishes are famous throughout the country, and there are also snacks such as Huiwei Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup, Lion’s Head from Lion’s Palace, Yin’s Chicken Soup Dumplings, Lianhu Cake Ball Shop, “Unforgettable” Pickled Fish, and Green Liuju. The list goes on. Rong Yiren once left a calligraphy note after a feast in Qinhuai: "The snacks are delicious", also written as "The snacks are delicious".

"Six generations of luxury, spring has passed, and there is no news. ... Until now, only Jiangshan is green and Qinhuai is green." How many past events are like the wind, how many literati and poets, how many flowers are blooming. Yesterday's Nanjing has become history, but today's Nanjing is still making progress. Will tomorrow's Nanjing be better? We will wait and see.
