Left: Poplar sycamore here, straight out, it turns out that it is more beautiful than Shanghai. The lower letter Zhongshan Mausoleum is the tomb of Sun Yat-sen, a pioneer of the Chinese Revolution, and is a very famous roadside tree boulevard in Nanjing that goes to the tomb. This sketch is a masterpiece that beautifully represents the plane tree boulevard.
Upper right: Reiya Tower. There is Reiyaji Temple in the east of Nanjing, and a part of Sanzou Houshi’s skull is preserved. Around 1940, after the occupation of Nanjing, the Japanese army discovered a sarcophagus containing the skull of Sanzou Houshi from the basement when the Inari Shrine was built in the southern part of Nanjing. Is the date 1979? 1977?
Lower right: Probably inside the Reiya Tower. It is a stubborn building made 600 years ago in the Ming dynasty, using glutinous rice and lime as an adhesive in the era when there was no cement.
