Winter | Imperial Palace Ruins

|Imperial Palace Ruins. The colors of winter are shrouded in haze, appearing somewhat gray and white. The sunlight ☀️ can only shine through the gaps, illuminating the earth. 680 years ago, the Nanjing Imperial Palace stood beneath the once-glorious Fengtian Gate, imagining the scene of the Ming Emperor entertaining the King of Borneo. Opening my eyes, I see the faint colors of today's Meridian Gate. The ground is covered with Jinling red stones and limestone, which have turned black and textured over time. The inscriptions on the city wall's surface have mostly fallen off, unable to withstand the test of 700 years. Next spring, hydrangeas will bloom here, and there will surely be many people.
