Today, let us relive the history of the Chinese nation from the perspective of Nanjing by understanding the origin of the 17 aliases in Nanjing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > Yecheng</h1>
Nanjing first appeared in the form of a "city" in the Warring States period. In order to counter the Chu state, Wu Wang Fuchai established a yecheng in the area of the Jing Dynasty Tiangong, which was rich in copper and tin ore at that time, specializing in smelting copper and iron and casting weapons, forming the prototype of Nanjing City. At present, there are also yecheng ruins in Nanjing, located in the east of Mochou Road and beside Wenjin Bridge.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > Yuecheng</h1>
Later, Wu Wang Fuchai was defeated by Yue Wang, and the state of Wu perished. King Gou of Yue built Yue City near Yecheng as a base for attacking the Chu state. At present, there are still the ruins of Yuecheng in Nanjing FuguiLou.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > Jinling</h1>
The kingdom of Yue was later destroyed by the King of Chu Wei, who took all the land of Wu Yue and built a city on Stone Mountain and set up JinlingYi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > Moling</h1>
At the end of the Warring States period, Qin Shi Huang swept away the Six Kingdoms and the world returned to Qin. When Qin Shi Huang was touring the world, when passing through Jinling, he heard that there was a king's qi and that there would be an emperor in the future, so he chiseled out a river and diverted water into the city, hoping to disperse the royal qi of Nanjing City. This is not too addictive, he also stipulates that from now on, Jinling can no longer be called Jinling, called "Moling". This "Mo" should be seen in "Li Bing Mo Ma", Qin Shi Huang means that only I am the emperor, and your place can only be used as a place for me to grow hay. During the Han Dynasty, the title of Moling has been continuing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" > Jianye, Stone City</h1>
The person who really made Nanjing a city was Sun Quan, who used the Battle of Chibi to lay the pattern of three divisions of the world, and when he was 36 years old, he moved the capital to Moling and changed moling to Jianye. The following year, in order to give full play to the advantages of the Wu army's water army, Sun Quan built the Stone City on Qingliang Mountain as a water army base, so later Nanjing was also known as the Stone City.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > Jiangning, Jianye, Danyang</h1>
After the three families returned to the Jin Dynasty, sima clan unified the world, and Sima Yan changed Jianye back to Moling, and in order to reduce the structure of Jianye City, Danyang County was established to administer Moling, and Linjiang County was set up in the southwest of Moling. Later, Sima Yan cruised here and commented that "there is nothing wrong with the outer river, quiet here", so he changed Linjiang County to Jiangning County, and the abbreviation "Ning" in Nanjing is also due to this. Sima Yan also established Jianye County in the north of Moling, and subsequently, in order to commemorate the city of Ye, where Sima Shi originated, it was rebuilt into Jianye.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" > Jiankang</h1>
In 313, Sima Ye, the last emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, and in order to avoid the emperor's secrets, Jianye City was renamed Jiankang City. Therefore, Nanjing is also called Jiankang.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" > Jiangzhou</h1>
After the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao and Sima Rui established the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Jiankang, and in the later Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen successively set their capital here, which is also the origin of nanjing's "ancient capital of the six dynasties". Later, Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, and his son Yang Guang led an army to attack Jiankang and capture Chen Hou lord, and the Sui Emperor Yang Jian, fearing that someone would rebel in Jiankang again, implemented a policy of suppressing Jinling, and ordered the city of Jiankang to be razed to the ground, and the Palace garden of the Six Dynasties Loutai disappeared. At the same time, Emperor Wen of Sui rebuilt Kang into Jiang Prefecture according to Jiang Shan in Nanjing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" > Yangzhou, Naturalization, Baixia, Shangyuan, Shengzhou</h1>
During the Tang Dynasty, Du Fuwei returned to Tang with the land of Jiangnan, and in order to show his martial virtue, Li Yuan changed Jiangning to naturalization, and set Yangzhou with Jiangning and Lishui counties, so Nanjing was also called naturalization or Yangzhou. Subsequently, Li Yuan successively changed the naturalization county to Jinling County and Baixia County. After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he changed Baixia County to Jiangning County and set up Jiangning County, and later changed Jiangning County to Shengzhou and Jiangning County to Shangyuan County. Therefore, Nanjing is also known as Baixia, Shangyuan and Shengzhou.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="39" > jiqing</h1>
After the Tang Dynasty, China entered the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and Nanjing was successively known as Jinling, Baixia, Jiangning County, Shengzhou, Shangyuan, Shengzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Jiangning County, Jinling Prefecture, Xidu, and Jiangning Province.
After the Northern Song Dynasty, Jiangning County was re-established, and during the Southern Song Dynasty, it was renamed Jiankang.
After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, Kang Road was rebuilt as Jiqing Road, so Nanjing was also called Jiqing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > Ying Tianfu, Nanjing</h1>
The Yuan Dynasty lasted only about 100 years, and was overthrown by Zhu Yuanzhang, a cattle man who "started a bowl". After Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Nanjing, he named Nanjing Ying Tianfu in order to comply with the will of the Mandate of Heaven. Subsequently, he built walls, accumulated grain, and slowly became king, and 4 years later he was proclaimed emperor, and then changed the tianfu to Nanjing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > Tianjing</h1>
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Nanjing was changed to Jiangnan Province, and Tianfu was changed to Jiangning Province. Later, the Taiping Rebellion broke out, and Hong Xiuquan was so strong that after capturing Nanjing, he changed Jiangning Province to Tianjing. After the failure of the Taiping Rebellion, the Qing government changed Tianjing back to Jiangning Province.
After Sun Yat-sen led the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, the Qing government was overthrown, and the Republic of China set the capital nanjing and changed Jiangning Province to Nanjing Province.
After the founding of New China, the title of Nanjing continued to be used.
