Nanjing has a prominent place in Chinese culture and history as having been a capital city for ten times throughout history. The city of Nanjing is a fine history textbook. If one pores over this city, one will evoke the history of China itself. Every historic site in Nanjing is saturated with the character of human affairs. Whichever ruins one might visit, they are all part of a deep historical dialogue. In terms of scenery, Nanjing has mountains and rivers, enough to match any city. But the city's strength is in its history, and its unique culture. This book is a collection of prose about the unique history, culture and atmosphere of the city as well as the temperament and customs of its people, by the renowned Nanjing-born writer, Ye Zhaoyan. "An elegant city with the European and American planning models adopted at the macro level, and the traditional Chinese style at the micro level - the most beautiful, clean and well-planned modern city in twentieth-century China." -- Ye Zhaoyan, remarks on the modern Nanjing city
