In the southeast of today's Nanjing City, on the south bank of Wende Bridge, is the garrison of the Imperial Army during the Soochow Period of the Three Kingdoms. Because the imperial guards wore black military uniforms at that time, the place was commonly known as Wuyi Lane. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, two major families, Wang Dao and Xie An, both lived in Wuyi Lane, and people called their children "Wuyi Lang". After entering the Tang Dynasty, Wuyi Lane fell into ruins. It is now a gathering place for folk handicrafts.
