It provides reliable information for understanding the changes and evolution of Nanjing City in history and has outstanding academic value. The manuscript is accompanied by 27 schematic diagrams of the capital city of Nanjing in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The superior water and land transportation conditions enabled the continuous development of industry and commerce and laid the foundation for it to become a political center again.
