Nanjing shitoucheng

Nanjing Stone Town is about 3000 meters long. In the middle section, a few protruding red water stones look like ugly faces, so they are called grimace city. Originally Jinling City, Chu Weiwang, it was built in Chu Weiwang for seven years (333 years before). In the 16th year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (2 1 1), Sun Quan of the State of Wu moved to Moling (now Nanjing) and built a city in the original site of Stone Mountain Jinling City. Defending the Yangtze River is a battleground for military strategists and is known as the Shicheng Tiger.

At the foot of Qingliang Mountain in Nanjing, you can see winding city walls and towering stone cliffs from the Shimen in the tiger's dragon pan to the Caomen. This is a stone city built on a hill. Tongzhi's Shangjiang County Records. "Mountain Examination" contains: "Since Jiangbei, there have been no stones in the mountains, so there are stones in the mountains, hence the name." "Jiankangzhi" also said: "There is a city on the mountain, also known as Shicheng Mountain." The "city" mentioned here is also the stone city. The origin of Stone Town can be traced back to the Warring States Period more than two thousand years ago. According to historical records, in the thirty-sixth year of Zhou Xian (333 BC), the State of Chu (Yingdu, now Jiangling, Hubei) destroyed the State of Yue (Wudu, now Suzhou), Chu Weiwang set up Jinling City, and built a city on Liang Qingshan. In the twenty-fourth year of Qin Shihuang (223 BC), the State of Chu perished, and the Qin Dynasty changed Jinling to Moling County. Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang arrived on the eve of Battle of Red Cliffs to discuss with Sun Quan the plan to break Cao Zhi. According to legend, Zhuge Liang rode to Shitou Mountain to observe the mountains and rivers when passing through Moling County. He saw the mountains headed by Zhongshan winding in the southeast like a black dragon, while the western hills ending in rocky mountains stood on both sides of the river like tigers, so he praised "Zhongshan is long and flat, and the stone is beside the tiger, which is really the residence of the emperor" and suggested to Sun Quan to move the capital to Moling. After Sun Quan went to Battle of Red Cliffs, he moved to Moling (now Nanjing) and was renamed Moling Jianye. The following year, a famous stone town was built on the original foundation of Liang Qingshan. At that time, the Yangtze River flowed out of Liang Qing, so the military position of Stone Town was very prominent, and Sun Wu always regarded it as the most important naval base. In the following hundreds of years, it became the military center of war defense. In the civil war, the victory or defeat is often decided by taking the stone city. Stone Town is based on the cool natural cliffs on the western slope of Shanxi, surrounded by mountains, with a circumference of "seven miles and a hundred paces", which is equivalent to about six miles now. On the northern edge of the Great River, it reaches the mouth of Qinhuai River in the south, with two gates in Nankai and one gate in the east. To the west of the South Gate is the West Gate, which is surrounded by mountains and waters and separated by the Huaihe River. The danger is great now. There are stone warehouses and stone warehouses in the city to store military food and weapons. A warning beacon tower is built at the height of the city wall, which can send out signals at any time to predict enemy invasion. In the Southern Dynasties, the status of Stone Town as a military fortress to defend the capital remained unchanged. In ancient times, the Yangtze River flowed eastward around the foot of Liangshan Mountain. Huge waves beat the mountain wall from time to time and washed it into a cliff. After the Tang Dynasty, the river moved westward day by day. Since the eighth year of Wude in Tang Dynasty (625), Stone Town began to be abandoned. Therefore, Liu Yuxi, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Stone City": "The old country is surrounded by mountains, and the tide hits the empty city and is lonely. In the old moon east of Huaishui, I also came to the female wall at night. " The stone city described by the poet is already a deserted and lonely "empty city". Five Dynasties (924). The first temple, Xingjiao Temple, was built in Shitou Town, and later became a scenic spot where temples and academies were concentrated. Today, it is still famous at home and abroad for its majestic posture of "Stone City surrounded by tigers". Nowadays, when we walk under the stone city, we can not only see the foundation of the ochre pebble wall clearly, but also see the city bricks added to the stone wall in the past dynasties. According to geological research, the rock formation here is the Pukou Formation in the late Cretaceous about 654.38 billion to 70 million years ago. Under the wall between Qingliangmen and Caochangmen, there is a prominent oval stone wall, about 6 meters long and 3 meters wide. Because of years of weathering, the gravel is peeling off, pitted and mottled, with purple-black rocks and jagged rocks in the middle. There are many legends about grimace city in Nanjing. According to legend, this stone used to be as smooth as a knife. Now there is a clear pond in the west of grimace city, and the reflection of grimace city can be seen from one side of the water. Old Nanjing people are commonly known as "faces in the mirror". This magical legend has attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists. Nowadays, the Stone Town Site has been listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Jiangsu Province, and it has become a good place for people to explore the secluded spots and ponder over the ancient feelings.

In the 16th year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (2 12), Sun Quan built a city on the stone mountain in the original site of Jinling City, so it was called Stone City. Urban genes are chiseled out of natural rocks. In the middle section, there are several pieces of swaying red gravel which are uneven because of the ancient Yangtze River water, like an animal's face, so it is commonly called grimace city. The stone city is about 3000 meters in circumference, with two gates in the south and 1 gates in the east. Because the northwest is close to the Yangtze River, there is no gate. At that time, Stone Town was the base camp of Sun Wu's navy, and there were often thousands of ships in Jiangbo. There is a stone warehouse in the city to store food, weapons and other materials. Sun Wu's beacon tower was also built at the highest place in the west of the city. It is said that once the enemy is found, a bonfire will be lit at the beacon tower and spread all over the Yangtze River within half a day. Stone Town has a steep terrain and has been called "Stone Town is surrounded by tigers" since ancient times. Later, due to the gradual westward movement of the Yangtze River, the military value of Shitou Town weakened. After Zhu Yuanzhang made Nanjing his capital in the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu built the city wall in the second year, and the stone town here became a part of the Nanjing city wall. Today, Stone Town is a famous historical site at home and abroad, and it is also one of the important tourist attractions in Nanjing.

Mountain city is another name for Chongqing.

A mountain is a city, and a city is a mountain.

Zhang Zhidong, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, once recited Chongqing: "On the rocks of famous cities, the eagle looks at the three buses."

"Chongqing is between Zhongliang Mountain and Tongluo Mountain, and the valleys, terraces and hilly areas where Jialing River and Yangtze River flow. The city is built on the mountain, with uneven roads and well-organized buildings, so it is called Mountain City, which is the largest and most famous mountain city in China. Take Yuzhong Peninsula, the mother city of Chongqing, as an example. It is a typical low mountain platform landform, and the whole peninsula is a protruding ridge. The elevation of Chaotianmen Shazui is168m, the average elevation of Jiefang North is 249m, that of Luoba Mountain is 340m, and that of Eling Mountain is about 400m. These water droplets are all on the Yuzhong Peninsula, which is 9 square kilometers. You can imagine how the tall buildings in the city fluctuate and how the roads turn.

Mountain city is another name for Chongqing. In fact, the mountain city is a form of building a city. Because Chongqing is the most famous mountain city in China, mountain city sometimes refers to Chongqing. There are many other "mountain cities" in China, such as Fuling and Wanzhou in Chongqing, and Qingdao Old Town in Shandong, all of which are built by mountains.
