Jinling City was built in Jinling Mansion (later changed to jiangning house, now Nanjing, Jiangsu) by the regime of Yangwu and Nantang in the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries. Used in Song and Yuan Dynasties, it was Song Jiankang Fucheng and Yuan Jiqing Daocheng. In the early years of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of Ming Dynasty, expanded into the capital city on the basis of Jinling City.
During the Six Dynasties, Jinling, as the economic, cultural, political and military center of China, was the first city with a population of over one million in the world and the largest city in the world at that time.

Name evolution:
Yangzhou: Gong Yu is divided into Kyushu and Nanjing belongs to Yangzhou. The "Yangzhou" before the Sui Dynasty (Eastern Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties) basically has nothing to do with today's Yangzhou (formerly called Guangling or Jiangdu). Today's Yangzhou is the "Yangzhou" after the ninth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (589).
Jinling: This is the most elegant and oldest official name of Nanjing, which has been used ever since. Its origin is generally believed to be because Nanjing Zhongshan (Zijinshan and Jinshan) was called Jinling Mountain in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qin Shihuang made the Huaihe River flow through Jinling, venting the anger of the king and changing Jinling into Moling.
Jianye, Jianye, Jiankang: In 2 12, Sun Quan built a stone city in Shishishan, and changed Moling to Jianye, taking the meaning of "making contributions and unifying the world". Jianye said in ancient times that Shicheng and Shicheng's nicknames were all produced here. In 3 13, in order to avoid the anonymity of Emperor Sima Ye of Jin Dynasty, it was changed to Jiankang.
Linjiang, Jiangning and Shangyuan: In 280, Moling was divided into Linjiang County; Jiangning county 307-313; In 675, Jiangning County was changed to Shangyuan County. Later, Linjiang, Shangyuan and Jiangning were all nicknames of Nanjing.
Nanjing: 1368, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang took Kaifeng, the ancient capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, as Beijing and Yingtianfu as Nanjing.
