Why does Nanjing have the Topography like a Coiling Dragon and a Crouching Tiger:A Sketch of the Geological Survey of Nanjing before 1949
From the perspective of geological history,Nanjing's hilly topography-which re-sembles a coiling dragon and a crouching tiger—is the consequence of earth's evolution over the past 700 million years,and this understanding is the result of geological investigation and re-search.The Nanjing geological survey began during the reign of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty,was launched by the German Ferdinand von Richthofen,and has been methodically promoted by a number of geologists since the Republic of China,yielding a variety of outcomes.Among these,the Report on the Geological Survey of Nanjing City and Jiangning County is a stage-by-stage sketch of Nanjing's geological survey before 1949.
