Qinhuai River is a tributary of the Yangtze River, with a total length of about 11 kilometers. It is the ancient name of Huaishui, the main river in Nanjing, and its real name is "Longzangpu". According to legend, when Qin Shihuang visited the east, he looked at the purple air rising above Jinling, thinking that it was royal, so he chiseled Fangshan, broke the long ridge for blasphemy, and entered the river. Later generations mistakenly thought that the water was opened during Qin Dynasty, so it was called "Qinhuai". Qinhuai River is the cradle of ancient civilization in Nanjing. As far back as the Stone Age, there were human activities in the basin. From Dongshuiguan to Xishuiguan, the banks of the river have been the residential areas of bustling commercial areas since Soochow. During the Six Dynasties, it became a place where famous families lived together, with merchants and literati gathering together, and Confucianism flourished. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it gradually declined, but it attracted countless literati and poets to pay their respects here, lamenting that "Wang Xietang died in the past and flew into the homes of ordinary people". In the Song Dynasty, it gradually recovered as a cultural and educational center in the south of the Yangtze River. Ming and Qing dynasties were the heyday of Shili Qinhuai. Gold powder towers, row upon row; Ling Bo, the original painting, is a dreamlike spectacle with the sound of oars and lights. However, in modern times, due to war and other reasons, the river became increasingly polluted, and buildings on both sides of the strait were mostly destroyed, and the bustling scene of the past no longer existed. After 1985, Jiangsu Province and Nanjing allocated huge sums of money to repair this scenic belt, and Qinhuai River became a famous tourist attraction in China again. Set monuments, gardens, boats, streets and folk customs in one. As early as the Six Dynasties, Qinhuai River and Confucius Temple were already prosperous areas, and both sides of Shili Qinhuai were places where aristocratic families lived together, as well as places where literati gathered together. After Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was once neglected. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was prosperous again, with rich and wealthy people, numerous brothels, and the original painting of Ling Bo, which became the land of beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River. The most famous scenery in Qinhuai is the lantern boat which prevailed in Ming Dynasty. All boats on the river, big or small, are hung with colored lights. Anyone who swims around Qinhuai River must take the light boat as fast as possible. Zhu Ziqing gave a good account of this in his famous essay "Qinhuai River in the Shadow of Paddle Sound". The restored Qinhuai River scenic belt, centered on Confucius Temple and linked by Qinhuai River, includes Zhanyuan, ancient buildings of Confucius Temple, Bailuzhou and Zhonghuamen Castle, as well as Qinhuai water cruise ship and riverside landscape from Taoyedu to Zhenhuai Bridge.
