Yu Ming, the former head of Xiaguan District and secretary of the district party committee, gave a special lecture in the cultural meeting room of Yuejianglou
As the advocate and "commander-in-chief" of the construction of Yuejiang Tower, Yu Ming, then secretary of the Xiaguan District Party Committee, said——
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Song Lian, a scholar of Wenchen University, both wrote "The Story of Yuejiang Tower". It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang planned to build a Yuejiang Tower on Lion Rock, but it was not realized for various reasons.
More than 600 years later, the construction of Yuejiang Tower was put on the agenda, after the construction of Yuejiang Tower project was approved and approved, it lasted more than two years, in August 2001, Yuejiang Tower was finally completed on the Lion Rock.
With the geographical advantages of "water package city, city package mountain, and mountain package building", Yuejiang Tower has formed a unique cultural landmark in the Yangtze River section of the Yangtze River.
Although Nanjing is known as the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties" and "the capital of the Ten Dynasties", due to the hardships of thousands of years, it is less majestic and rough, and "Jinling is the state of the emperor" is only Song Lian left a heroic spirit in the "Story of Reading the River Tower". During the gap period of more than 600 years, generations of Nanjing people held the "Ancient Literature and Guanzhi", read the "Reading River Tower", and looked at the Lion Rock in the northwest corner of Nanjing, the majestic and ethereal pavilion in the air.
However, what the predecessors could not have dreamed of was that six hundred years later, Yuejianglou stood impressively on the Lion Rock, making this "beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River" have the style of "Jinling Imperial State". It not only allows us to further see the rich history of the ancient city of Nanjing. I can also feel the vitality and confidence of Nanjing.
The Lion Rock Park Management Office under construction is located at the south gate of the current Yuejiang Building.
