The cause of Xuanwu Lake The name and origin of Xuanwu Lake
Dear friends, when you come to a famous historical and cultural city, you must want to see the most famous and distinctive scenic spots in the area! In Nanjing, if you didn't go to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, you can only see half of the ancient city of Nanjing. Although Nanjing is known as the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties" and has many places of interest such as "Forty Scenes of Jinling", Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is undoubtedly one of the most attractive and well-known scenic spots. Speaking of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, of course, we should mention its owner, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the great forerunner of China's democratic revolution. Mr. Sun's real name is Sun Wen, and his word is Yixian. Foreign friends call him "Dr. Sun Yixian". Because he used the pseudonym "Zhongshan Qiao" when he was engaged in revolutionary activities in Japan, he was honored as Dr. Sun Yat-sen in China. Sun Yat-sen was born on November 12th, 1866 in a peasant family in Cuiheng Village, Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province. He has little ambition, studied in Honolulu, Hong Kong and other places, and practiced medicine in Guangzhou and Macao after graduation.
Later, he gave up medicine and went into politics. In 195, he organized the China League in Japan and was elected as the prime minister. He put forward the famous program of "expelling the captive, restoring China, establishing the Republic of China, and equalizing land rights" and the theory of "nationality, civil rights and people's livelihood". After the Wuchang Uprising broke out on October 1th, 1911, Mr. Sun was elected as the provisional president of the Republic of China by the representatives of seventeen provinces, and was sworn in in Nanjing on New Year's Day the following year. Since then, he has experienced ups and downs such as Yuan Shikai stealing the country, the second revolution, the movement to protect the country and the movement to protect the law. In 1921, he became the very big president of the Republic of China in Guangzhou. At the first national congress of the Chinese Kuomintang held in Guangzhou in January, 1924, he developed the old Three People's Principles into the new Three People's Principles, and put forward three major policies of "uniting with Russia", "uniting with * * *" and "helping the peasants and workers". In November of the same year, at the invitation of Feng Yuxiang, he went north to discuss the national plan, and finally died in Beijing on March 12, 1925 because of overwork.
Nanjing is known as the "land of emperors", and various dynasties have left a large number of historical sites and sites in Nanjing. Now we are going to visit ming tomb.
ming tomb's geographical location-site selection process-construction process
ming tomb is the burial tomb of Zhu Yuanjin, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Ma Shi, the queen of the Ming Dynasty. It is located at the foot of Mount Everest in Dulongfu at the southern foot of Zijin Mountain, and it is the largest and best-preserved imperial tomb in Nanjing. It has a history of more than 6 years.
The emperors of China were very careful in their choice of tombs, and paid special attention to the land of "auspicious soil", that is, the land of feng shui. Every time I go out to choose a site, I will not only send first-and second-class officials from the imperial court, but also attract alchemists who are familiar with geography and can see Feng Shui. After selecting the mausoleum, the emperor had to personally inspect the site, and was finally determined when he was satisfied. Shortly after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he was very concerned about his "paradise" after death and began planning to build a mausoleum. It is said that he once called Liu Bowen, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He and other ministers to discuss the location. The five agreed to write the best tomb site on paper and then make it public at the same time. As a result, great minds think alike, and all of them say "Playing Mount Everest alone". Therefore, the tomb site of Zhu Yuanjin's mausoleum was settled in this way. Dulongfu is a small hill located under the main peak of Zijin Mountain, with a height of 15 meters and a diameter of about 4 meters, like a huge natural grave. The feudal emperor of China often compared himself to the real dragon emperor, and built a mausoleum in Dulongfu, which was in line with the requirements of feudal superstition.
Linggu Temple, which is a scenic spot composed of temple buildings, National Revolutionary Army soldiers' cemetery and Linggu Park. Due to historical reasons, people still call it Linggu Temple in general. Our car is driving. I don't know if you have paid attention to both sides of the window. Magnolia stands upright along the way, with dense trees and winding paths. We seem to be in a fairy situation. Let me first introduce the founding history of Linggu Temple.
Linggu Temple-located at the southern foot of Zijin Mountain, is one of the three major Buddhist temples in the Ming Dynasty. As early as the Six Dynasties, Zijin Mountain was a Buddhist holy place. When Liang Wudi was in China, there were more than 7 temples around it. By the Ming Dynasty, most of these monasteries had been destroyed after vicissitudes of life, and only a few of them, such as Jiangshan Temple, Dinglin Temple and Songxi Temple, were well preserved in Dulonggang, south foot. The predecessor of Linggu Temple was Kaizenji in Dulonggang. In 514, in order to bury the monk Baozhi, Liang Wudi built a fine house and a Zhigong Tower in Dulonggang. It was renamed Baogongyuan in the Tang Dynasty, Taiping Xingguo Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty and Jiangshan Temple in the early Ming Dynasty. In order to build ming tomb, Zhu Yuanjin ordered people to choose Dulonggang, a treasure trove of geomantic omen, so he ordered all the temples in this area, including Jiangshan Temple, to be moved to the eastern foot of Zijin Mountain and merged into one temple. Because the terrain of Linggu Temple is a valley between "the mountains on the left and the mountains on the right", it is named "Linggu Temple is specialized in different fields". When Linggu Temple was first built, it was large-scale, with many halls and stupas. It was 2.5 kilometers long from the gate to the main hall, covering an area of about 5 mu and thousands of monks. No wonder Zhu Yuanjin regarded it as a masterpiece and inscribed it "The First Zen Forest". Unfortunately, only Wuliangdian survived because of the fire and soldiers. By the time of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, the scale of rebuilding Linggu Temple was far less than that of that year. However, the beautiful scenery of "Linggu in late autumn" was still achieved with red walls, yellow tiles, pine trees, fragrant flowers and quiet environment.
Red Mountain Gate-memorial hall for fallen soldiers, no beam hall-memorial hall for fallen soldiers
Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at the front of the mountain gate of Linggu Temple, which is the general name for the temple gate. This mountain gate is also the gate of Linggu Park. Please have a look: the mountain gate of this antique building was rebuilt in the 193s. Its form is three arches, with a green glazed tile roof and a red exterior wall, so it is also called the Red Mountain Gate. On the forehead of the door is the word "Linggu Shengjing", written by Mr. Qian Songyue, a modern calligrapher. A pair of stone lions outside the gate were presented by the Beiping Military Branch, which built the cemetery for fallen soldiers.
Welcome to Nanjing Confucius Temple. Confucius Temple is located on the Qinhuai River in the south of the city, with superior geographical location and convenient transportation. It is a historical relic and tourist attraction that Nanjing people are proud of, and a prosperous place where emerging culture, commerce, sightseeing centers and temples and cities are integrated.
Confucius Temple, also known as Confucius Temple and Confucian Temple, is a place to worship Confucius, a famous great educator and thinker in China. Confucius was honored as Confucius in ancient times, so his temple was commonly known as "Confucius Temple". Because of the orthodox position of Confucianism, its founder Confucius was highly respected by rulers and scholars in feudal society, and Confucius temples dedicated to him were all over the country, and some places were more than one. Confucius Temple, as a place where feudal scholars worship, is mostly arranged with educational facilities (such as Xuegong and Gongyuan), that is, the so-called temple is attached to the school, usually in front of or on one side of the Xuegong.
historically, there were three Confucius temples in Nanjing, one in the compound of the present municipal government and the other in the Chaotian Palace. What we are going to visit now is the third and most famous place. It was moved from Chaotian Palace in the first year of Song Jingyao (134). At first, it was Jiankang Fuxue, Jiqing Road Xuexue in Yuan Dynasty, Guoxue in the early Ming Dynasty, Yingtianfu Xuexue later, moved out of Fuxue in Qing Dynasty, and changed to Jiangning and Shangyuan County Xuexue. Xianfeng was destroyed by fire, rebuilt in Tongzhi (1869), and burned by the Japanese in the Anti-Japanese War. The existing Confucius Temple was rebuilt in the early 198s. It adopted the former temple and the later school, with the Confucius Temple in front and the Xuegong in the back, and the Gongyuan set up later was arranged on the left side of the Xuegong. Therefore, the relatively complete pattern of Nanjing Confucius Temple includes three parts, namely Confucius Temple, Xuegong and Gongyuan. The north-south central axis with Dacheng Hall as the center, the main buildings on both sides and the Jiangnan Gongyuan Exhibition Hall with Mingyuan Building as the center have become the most important tourist attractions in the Confucius Temple area.
