Dreaming of the Qinhuai River Amidst the Sound of Oars and the Glow of Lanterns

"Mist veils the cold water, moonlight blurs the sand, I moor at Qinhuai near a tavern grand." As night falls and the lights begin to shine, the Qinhuai River awakens from its slumber, transforming into the most dazzling painting in Jinling City. Strolling along the riverbank, you'll walk on mottled stone slabs, with ancient buildings featuring flying eaves and bracket arches beside you. Among the carved beams and painted rafters, large red lanterns hang high, illuminating the faces of passers-by and reflecting a thousand years of history. In the distance, a painted boat slowly approaches, its bow cutting through the mirror-like river surface, creating layers of golden waves, as if taking people back to the extravagant Six Dynasties. Boarding the painted boat, with the gentle sound of oars, the beautiful scenery on both sides slowly unfolds like a slideshow. By the Zhuque Bridge, although the prosperous commercial scene of the past is no longer visible, you can still imagine the bustling traffic of the past from the bridge's simple and unadorned structure. At the entrance of Wuyi Lane, the everyday life of ordinary people has long replaced the grand courtyards of the Wang and Xie families, but the sense of historical weight has never faded. On the shore, the melodious singing of the female singers seems to travel through time, interweaving with the modern laughter, playing a movement that blends the ancient and the modern.
