How to write your thoughts after reading Nanjing Yu?

With more than 430 pages of text, there is a strong historical atmosphere... Looking for the city of Nanjing, the author did not pile up various famous scenic spots to talk about it, but chose ordinary things to tell the story behind the excavation. . The book is divided into fourteen subtitles, from the imperial capital to the founding heroes, from Buddhist temples to holy churches, Jiangnan humanities and old things in the south of the city... The author was born in the Academy of Fine Arts, and his writing style is not very good, but the preface really aroused my heart* **Ming. People often lament that this city is changing so fast and in such a hurry that the details that have been carefully carved over the years are quickly disappearing, turning into mud and grinding into dust, and in a short time, they will disappear without a trace. A dry well, an old plaque, a ruin, a church, an ancient temple... Listen to the news of the years in every detail, and you may be happy or sad depending on the situation of those old things. As the author put forward at the beginning of the article, "archaeology in the city and surprises while walking". I have been studying in Nanjing for three years. I have visited various scenic spots, but I have never thought about discovering the grand historical chapter behind this city. It’s already good that the author can start from here. As for typesetting, the fluency of writing needs to be improved.

Reflections after reading "Looking for the City·Nanjing" (Part 2): A Dream of Qinhuai in the Misty Rain

Stone City was built to build Jinling City, and the name Jinling came from this. The First Emperor visited the east and saw There was a gathering of dragon energy in Jinling, so he ordered people to dig up Fangshan Mountain and divert the Huaihe River to pour into Jinling to release the dragon energy, so it was renamed Moling. For Jinling, all that was changed was the name, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and the capital of the Ten Dynasties. The subsequent development did not stop him. Jiangnan Wenshu, half of the world's talented people came from Jinling. This is the evaluation given by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. If we were not at that time and not in the place, we would not be able to understand this mood and such spirit; Qinhuai is the land of mist and rain, fireworks and wind and moon, The place where all the heroes gathered, the talented and beautiful, is now just a curtain of dreams. . . Returning to the book "Looking for the City", a quick glance shows that the article is rich in pictures and texts. The pictures are mostly close-up realistic photos that are close to the local atmosphere. The maps are mostly hand-drawn, reflecting the origin of Nanjing, including Congye City, Ye City, and Baixia. . . But in the so-called search for a city, there is no author or footprints. There is no particularly obvious feeling of finding the city. It is more like sorting out most of the literature + coupled with current realistic photos =? Looking for? I don’t understand. . . Maybe the author is also standing outside, looking at the development of Nanjing from a commanding height. Maybe the author is not qualified to witness the historical rise and fall of Nanjing alone, maybe maybe. . .
