Jinling 1

Jinling is the most elegant and oldest official name of Nanjing, which has been used ever since. Its origin is generally considered to be named after Zhongshan in Nanjing, and it was called Jinling Mountain in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In 333 BC, after Chu Weiwang was destroyed, a city was built on the present Liang Qingshan. Because the Purple Mountain was called Jinling Mountain at that time, and the rest of the mountains didn't have their own names, Chu Yi was built on Liang Qingshan, which was a part of Jinling Mountain at that time, so the city was named Jinling City.
