About Nanjing 3

This is the third of my present series of photos taken around Nanjing.
 
These were taken at the weekend when we went down to the Nanjing Museum of the History of the Ming City Wall at the side of Xuanwu Lake. 

Purple Mountain from the Nanjing City Wall.
Mud brick with inscription by the worker who made it.
Thousands of bricks in the wall have writing on them.
Some of the mud bricks show signs that the makers used stencils
to mark their handywork.
