The Historical Origin of Qinhuai River

Qinhuai River is a river that surrounds Nanjing every day. At first, it was not called Qinhuai River, but called Long Zangbao. Later, after Liu Bang established his capital here in the Han Dynasty, he changed the river into Huai River. As early as Qin Shihuang, when Ying Zheng was cruising through Moling, he saw that there were royalty everywhere, so he arranged for people to connect the southeast area of Nanjing and introduce the water from the Yangtze River into Nanjing. So in the Tang Dynasty, according to this statement, this river was called Qinhuai River. In the poems of the literati in the Tang Dynasty, the name of Qinhuai River is famous all over the world.
