Where
Where Lishui is
Lishui District lies in the south of Nanjing, on the upper reaches of the Qinhuai River. To the south-west, Shijiu Lake marks the boundary with Gaochun District; to the south the district meets Anhui Province. Low hills and uplands alternate across its area, Wuxiang Mountain runs through the middle, and the southern source of the Qinhuai flows north from here to the Yangtze. It shares its romanised name with Lishui in Zhejiang but is a different place, so every title and description on this site carries the regional qualifier.
Topics
Knowledge topics
A topic threads related entries from different sub-sites into one line. It stores only an entry list and an introduction — the writing itself stays with the sub-site, so a topic never becomes a second content store.
1,422 years as a county

Editorial Rules
Editorial rules
Traditional gazetteers open with a statement of scope: what the book covers, what it leaves out, and how it is compiled. These are our six, and they apply across every sub-site.
This is Lishui, Jiangsu
The subject is Lishui District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. It shares its romanised name with Lishui in Zhejiang, so every title and description carries the regional qualifier to keep the two apart.
Sources and writing kept apart
Every content repository has two layers: sources/ archives the original material together with its rights status, and content/ holds our own compiled writing. Facts come from the sources; the wording is ours. Nothing is mixed.
No source, no entry
An entry stays in a review state until a reliable source is found, and does not go into general release before that. Every conclusion traces back to a citation; traceability comes before volume.
Chinese and English published together
Both languages share a single ID, with the English text kept as a parallel file at the mirrored path under content/en/. If either side is missing, neither may be published.
Compiled content under CC BY 4.0
All compiled content is our own work and is released under CC BY 4.0: attribution only, with commercial use and adaptation permitted. The source layer is not covered by that licence and is handled record by record.
Corrections and collaboration
Factual disputes, missing sources and poor translations are all worth reporting. Proper-noun renderings come from one shared glossary, so a change in one place takes effect across the whole network.
