One-day tour guide of Huaqing Palace in Huaqing Pool

Huaqing Pool and Huaqing Palace are both famous scenic spots in Xi, as well as palace architectural relics left over from the Tang Dynasty. They are of great historical research value and ornamental value, attracting tourists from all over the world every year. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.

Huaqing

Datang Huaqingcheng

Once upon a time, Lintong was Xi 'an.

The most popular representative of tourism is the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the eighth wonder of the world, which once shocked the world with its large scale, numerous tombs and rich connotations. Like the Terracotta Warriors, there is Huaqing Pool. In The Longest Day in Chang 'an, the prototype of the hot spring palace that saints and Yang Zhenren yearn for is Huaqing Pool, also known as Huaqing Palace.

I don't know how many times I have been here.

Lintong

I remember every time I passed Huaqing Pool on 306, I saw the ruins in front of the scenic spot. Now that I am here again, the original ruins have become squares, which is today's Datang Huaqing City. Huaqing City in Datang is actually a big square, which can also be understood as a tourist transit station. The statue in the middle of the square is the dance form of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei.

If you come here by car, don't drive directly to Huaqingchi, you can continue to drive to the square. It's convenient to park here, but when you get out of the parking lot, there will be the words "Huaqing Pool Entrance" all the way. In fact, it is far from the scenic spot. It's just that the merchants in the square attract you to pass by their stores. If you don't want to spend money, you can take the main road all the way to the entrance of the scenic spot.

Dream Back to Tang Dynasty

In The Longest Day in Chang 'an Opera, Li Bi once said: The sage should leave Chang 'an and live in Lishan Hot Spring Palace. The same place in this hot spring palace is Lintong today.

Huaqingchi Huaqing Palace in Tang Dynasty was the largest detached palace in Chang 'an City in Tang Dynasty. What is going out of the palace? Literally, it means a palace built for the emperor to live permanently outside the capital, and also refers to the place where the emperor lived when he was on patrol.

According to legend, Huaqing Pool was built on a large scale more than 1000 years ago. At that time, Huaqing Palace was even more luxurious than the imperial palace in the Tang Dynasty. Every emperor is a hedonist. The earliest use of Huaqing Palace was for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to escape the heat and keep out the cold. Here, the back mountain is rich in nutrition, built on the mountain, warm in winter and cool in summer.

A natural resting place. Today, all the buildings in Huaqingchi were built later, but we can still see the outstanding talents of the architects in the Tang Dynasty. Such a huge building complex is built on the mountain, but it is not messy at all. From top to bottom, the buildings are patchwork, which makes full use of the geographical advantages of Mount Li and enjoys the prosperity of rivers and mountains.

In order for the emperor to travel back and forth to Lintong

And Chang 'an. At that time, a special road was built to connect Huaqingchi, Xingqing Palace and Daming Palace. At this point, the emperor went to court in Daming Palace in the morning, visited Xingqing Palace in the afternoon, and took a hot spring bath in Huaqingchi in the evening. It's beautiful. Huaqingchi's architecture also skillfully uses the topography of Mount Li, making the building very three-dimensional. When the emperor climbed the mountain, he could see the beautiful scenery of Chang 'an, which also satisfied the emperor's wish. Other mountains were short in the sky. ..

Huaqingchi, the heyday of his leaving the palace, was the time when Xuanzong was in power. It is said that he traveled here every year from June 5438 to 10. "Thousands of flags were taken by vilen, and the clouds and trees were shining." "Eighty-one cars ride, and there is a banquet at dusk." It can be seen from this statement that the scale of travel at that time was equivalent to moving various administrative organs of Chang 'an to Huaqing Pool, making it the first place. During his 45 years in office, Li Longji has been to Huaqing Pool 43 times.

Li Longji scraped people's money and made great efforts to build Huaqing Pool for his own pleasure, but once upon a time, the Anshi Rebellion surprised his dream. After the sudden change of political situation in the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fell off the historical stage, and Huaqing Palace also declined rapidly. Emperors after the Tang Dynasty paid little attention to Huaqing Palace. By the time of the Song Dynasty, the buildings in Huaqingchi were very shabby. Later, in the Yuan Dynasty, some people organized non-governmental forces and spent 15 years repairing Huaqing Pool. Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the original building of Huaqing Pool had already disappeared, and it was not until the government built it after liberation 1959 that we saw the beautiful Huaqing Pool today.

The first hot spring in the world

Besides the magnificent buildings of the Tang Dynasty, Huaqing Pool is most famous for its hot springs. According to historical records, Huaqing Palace was once a huge palace with hot springs as the center, built on the mountain, backed by Mount Li and facing the Weihe River. Even in the Tang Dynasty, there were many hot springs all over the country. Why did Xuanzong only love the hot springs in Huaqingchi at that time? "But the spring night was short, the sun rose too early, and the emperor abandoned the early dynasty." What is the charm of the first spring in the world?

We all know that Mount Li is a scenic spot, but what we don't know is that Mount Li is actually a volcano! Relax, you haven't heard of Mount Li eruption, have you? Yes, Mount Li is an extinct volcano with abundant geothermal resources, and the hot spring water near the volcano is rich in various minerals, which has therapeutic effects on human body. However, in ancient times, there was no running water, let alone hot springs. Drinking water is a luxury, so soaking in hot springs was a beauty that only the emperor could enjoy at that time.

In today's Huaqingchi Scenic Area, you can also see the remains of the former Royal Tang Chi, including the Lotus Soup of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the Begonia Soup of Yang Guifei and the Star Soup of Emperor Taizong. Not only did Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty like to take a bath, but before the Tang Dynasty, both Zhou Youwang and Qin Shihuang liked to take a bath here. Until the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor built a palace here to give him a warm place to spend the winter.

Shangshichi site

It is a great honor to bathe with the emperor. In the corner of the site, there is a Shangshichi site, which was used by officials who provided imperial meals and other officials in the Tang Dynasty to take a bath. This Tangchi is separated from the nearby bath pool of Emperor Taizong by stones. There is also a hot spring story related to Yang Guifei. It is said that Yang Guifei's forehead was injured at that time, and it became more and more serious. Because there is sulfur in the hot springs in Huaqingchi, it needs to be washed with hot springs, which is helpful for the recovery of the injury.

Today, there are still hot spring water spouting from Huaqing Pool. If you want to feel the charm of hot springs, you can take a bath in Huaqing Yutang Resort Hotel, feel the emperor's eyes and enjoy the distinguished hot spring experience service.

Xi' an, where the incident happened.

During the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek went to Shaanxi twice and lived in Huaqing Palace, where he planned various high-level military meetings. It is here that Chiang Kai-shek's "famous" wrong national policy of "we must decide first when we are busy outside" was put forward. On the occasion of the national disaster, two patriotic generals, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, launched a "shocking China and foreign countries" here.

The loophole of Xi 'an incident.

Today, you can still see the holes in the building glass left by the incident here. Of course, Yang is going to catch Chiang Kai-shek here. Chiang Kai-shek fled to Lishan Mountain and was finally captured in Binjiange, which opened a chapter of cooperation between countries.

A once-in-a-lifetime stage play-The Song of Eternal Sorrow

Huaqingchi has a tragic beauty, which comes from Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. Song of Eternal Sorrow is a long narrative poem by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, which vividly describes the love tragedy between Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. Based on this poem, the scenic spot also designed a famous domestic stage play-Song of Eternal Sorrow.

In the real place of historical story, with the artistic form of dance drama, the love theme expressed in the famous poem "Song of Eternal Sorrow" by Tang poet Bai Juyi, and the love vows made by Tang and Yang Guifei in Huaqing Palace as the main line, the art reproduces the prosperous Tang Dynasty more than/kloc-0.000 years ago, which is definitely worth seeing.
