Nanjing has a profound cultural heritage.
Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu and Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang. These two cities have similar economy, similar population, similar culture and similar diet. Nanjing is one of the four ancient capitals in China and has a glorious history. In the history, Kerry Land in the south of the Yangtze River, Wangzhou Land in Jinling Land and Nanjing all established their capitals here in ten dynasties. Nanjing has the reputation of being an ancient capital of six dynasties and a metropolis of ten dynasties. Hangzhou is one of the seven ancient capitals in China. It was once the capital of Wu Yueguo and the Southern Song Dynasty, and was known as a paradise on earth.
Hangzhou is the leisure capital of the East. As early as the early years of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan seven times, first to Nanjing and then to Hangzhou. Two places live in the palace at the same time. Poems describing Nanjing are nothing more than boarding the Phoenix Terrace in Nanjing, where the great poet Li Bai took it as his name. Having abandoned it now to this desolate river, Wu buried a hidden path. Jin's clothes are ancient dust, and the sky three and a half mountains away, like the river divided by the egrets on this island, has become a floating cloud that can cover the sun and hide his city from my melancholy heart. Most poems describe Nanjing based on nostalgia, highlighting Nanjing's cultural heritage, past prosperity and today's vicissitudes, with a sad tone.
Nanjing and Hangzhou have different cultural and historical poems about Hangzhou. The most famous is the title written by Lin Sheng in the Song Dynasty, Lin 'an House, the outer building of Qingshan Building outside the mountain, when will the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop, and the warm wind will make tourists drunk, making it a Hangzhou Bianzhou! Obviously, I feel that Hangzhou is bright in the poet's eyes, and he writes about the scenery of Hangzhou, eating, drinking and having fun. If you choose a place to study, Nanjing is the most suitable. Nanjing has a tradition of Chongwen since ancient times, and has the reputation of being the world literary hub and the first school in Southeast China. Hangzhou is the leisure capital of the East, which is more suitable for civilian life.
