Nanjing, referred to as "Ning", was called Jinling and Jiankang in ancient times. It is the capital of Jiangsu, a sub-provincial city and the core city of Nanjing metropolitan area. It is also an important central city in eastern China approved by the State Council, an important scientific research and education base and comprehensive transportation hub in China.

Song, Qi, Liang and Chen Dou in the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties successively established their capitals here, so Nanjing is known as the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties". Today, the site of Jiankang City is preserved under the Nanjing Library and the Six Dynasties Museum. During the Six Dynasties, Jiankang City was the largest city in the world at that time, with a population of one million. It is the first city in the world with a population of over one million. China ancient culture was preserved in Nanjing by the Han nationality through the southern crossing of Yiguan.

During the Six Dynasties, Nanjing and Rome were both called "the two centers of world classical civilization", and the culture of the Southern Dynasties, represented by Jiankang, had a far-reaching influence in human history.

Jiankang City in the Six Dynasties occupies an important position in the history of the development of the ancient capital of China, and it is the first example of the axisymmetric layout of the capital. Its plane layout and architectural form have a far-reaching impact on later generations, deeply affecting East Asian countries. Taicheng, the Forbidden City in the Six Dynasties, was imitated by the capitals of the Northern Wei Dynasty and East Asian countries, connecting the Qin and Han Dynasties with the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which profoundly influenced the shape of capital construction in later generations.
