"Jiangnan Jialidi, Jinling Imperial Prefecture", this sentence refers to the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Nanjing, Jinling is the ancient name of Nanjing, but also the most elegant nickname of Nanjing.
Such an elegant place name as Jinling first appeared in 333 BC, when the king of Chu Wei wanted to use the Yangtze River Graben as a barrier to plot the world, so he built Jinlingyi in stone city, and the name Jinling came from this.

When it comes to Jinling, almost everyone knows it, even today, Jinling's popularity is still very high. But another place name related to Jinling is little known, which is Moling, which is also a place name for Nanjing.
Moling is also the ancient name of Nanjing, when Qin Shi Huang's last eastward tour south through Jinling, Qin Shi Huang heard that Jinling had a royal spirit five hundred years later, and he was furious. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang ordered people to cut off the Fangshan mountain vein, so that the Huai water flowed through Jinling and the Confluence of the Yangtze River to vent the "king's qi", and this section of huai shui was named the Qinhuai River.

However, Qin Shi Huang still felt that only venting "wang qi" could not satisfy his wishes, so he ordered that Jinling be changed to Moling, which means grass, and in the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, Jinling was only worthy of being used as a hay field. Therefore, Jinling and Moling are also nicknames for Nanjing, but many people now do not know the place name moling.
Although in the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, Moling is a hay field, Moling also has a long history and is a famous town in Jiangsu with a history of more than 2,000 years. After Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, Moling County was also set up, and after the Qin and Han Dynasties, Moling has always been the political, economic and cultural center of Jiangnan.

Later, during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan moved the center of Jiangnan from Moling to Jinling, so there is a saying that "there is Moling first, and then there is Jinling".
Nowadays, Moling is still in this place, and has become Moling Street in Jiangning District, Nanjing City, which is a new street formed by the merger of the former Moling, Baijiahu and Fangshan, with a total area of 185 square kilometers and more than 400,000 permanent residents.
