BEIJING, Aug. 2, 2024
/CNW/ -- In 1595, during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty,
an Italian man named Matteo Ricci
came across Nanchang by chance. He
was impressed by the spacious streets and the flourishing
literature of the city. He wrote to his friends in Europe, highlighting that, as the capital of
Jiangxi Province, Nanchang's area should be twice as large as
Florence. Despite its commerce not being as advanced as that of
Guangzhou, Nanchang boasted spacious and clean
streets.
Ricci also visited the Wanshou palace and wrote in his
biography, "The temple is magnificent, bustling with businesses
inside and out, as if there is a fair every day. It's truly
vibrant." Consequently, the story of Nanchang and the Wanshou Palace made its debut
to Europe through Ricci's
biography.
The Wanshou Palace has witnessed a thousand years of history of
Nanchang City. As the ancient
coordinate of Nanchang, the
Wanshou Palace historical and cultural block has seen the
prosperity and change of commerce and trade, carrying the hustle
and bustle and China-chic charm of
Nanchang. The ancient and modern
civilizations are interwoven, tradition and innovation coexist,
showing the unique charm and infinite possibilities of Nanchang.
When a Chinese girl encounters a foreign girl "time-traveled"
from the Ming Dynasty in the Wanshou Palace, what kind of
intriguing story will unfold between them?
