history

Nanjing, the ancient capital of China, is famous for its history and culture. Archaeological findings show that human ancestors lived in Nanjing about 300,000 years ago, and primitive villages were formed 6,000 years ago. These residents are the original locals. Since then, people have lived and multiplied in this area from generation to generation.

In 472 BC, Gou Jian, King of Yue, ordered a city to be built on the site of Yuhuatai, which was called Yuecheng in history. This is the earliest urban construction record in Nanjing, with a history of 2470 years. During the Three Kingdoms period, in 229 AD, Wu Dong of Soochow moved to Nanjing, which was called "Jianye" at that time ... Since then, dynasties such as Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, Nantang, Ming, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Republic of China have successively established their capitals here. 1 For 700 years, Nanjing has achieved the reputation of "the ancient capital of ten dynasties". The rise and fall of dynasties left a rich ancient heritage. Rich historical sites can be traced back to many exciting stories and epic legends.

In the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing had its present name for the first time. In the long historical period, it has other names such as Moling, Stone Town, Jianye, Jiankang, Baixia, Shangyuan, Shenzhou, Jiangning, Qing Ji, Yingtian and Tianjin. Its name may be different, but the city itself has always been famous for its ancient history, splendid culture, beautiful scenery and great achievements, so it occupies an important position in the history of China.
