Rippled Lake with Colorful Water and Skylight

China is a beautiful country with scenic spots that attract world attention. If we take the county seat as an example, and furthermore, if we take the county seat's water as an example, then the lovely rippling lake in Lianshui County can make Lianshui people chatter and boast about it. Lianyi Lake originated from the great flood in the 51st year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1786). At that time, the Tanggong breach on the north bank of the Yellow River destroyed the west gate of Andong City and destroyed the back streets of the county. The accumulated water did not recede, forming a lake, commonly known as the back concave area. After four renovations in 1924, 1929, 1958 and 1983, the beautiful Five Island Park was finally built, becoming a great place for Lianshui people and guests to enjoy. In 1992, the People's Government of Lianshui County officially changed the name of Houao to Lianyi Lake. Like many famous lakes, Lianyi Lake is also famous for its water color and sky light, especially at sunrise and sunset and under the breeze and bright moon. The four seasons are different and more unique. Therefore, it is also known as "Sun and Moon Lake". On winter mornings, the sun shines brightly from the buildings in the east and rolls down onto the frozen lake, like a huge ripe tomato; on winter nights, the icy moon and the cold air invade the lake. , the moonlight and water are equally important, uniting the condensed world; in the morning of summer, the sun is red, passing through the willow branches by the lake into the lake, like a burning comet, dragging a long tail, dyeing half of the pond red Lake water; on a summer night, the bright moon in the water hangs high in the sky, and the willows on the shore gently brush the moon in the water. The moonlight is like water, the color of the water is like the moon, and the heaven and earth are like a dream; in the morning of spring, the sun seems to be broken and falls into the lake, just like a flame in the water. The mountains are fiery and golden, and the lake is almost boiling; on a spring night, a crescent moon is like half a golden bowl, floating and wandering in the water, suddenly disappearing without a trace, and suddenly swinging out of the water, within reach of one's hand; in the autumn morning, the sun shines first Golden light shoots out from the edge of the lake, and then jumps out, leaving thousands of gold stars on the lake, sparkling and jumping, attracting fish to fly out of the water; on the evening of autumn, the afterglow of the setting sun touches the lake in Bailuzhou (i.e. Xizhao Mountain) Above, the forest is dyed with different colors. From the horizontal view, it looks like a jade and beautiful tower, but from the side, it looks like a forest of towers. The reflection in the lake is so quiet and refreshing that it is as beautiful as the Lijiang River. More importantly, the egrets return from the flying clouds, and the maple leaves sway in the breeze. The words are affectionate, the words are meaningful, and the romance is implicit, which is difficult to describe; on an autumn night, the moonlight is bright, the water is cool, and the moon under the water is like a bright lamp in the Crystal Palace. The breeze blows, the ripples are infinite, and the "lights" flicker on and off, just like a magical fairy tale world. If you look down from the air, the thousand-acre mirror-like lake is like a pearl embedded in the center of Liancheng City, shining brightly in the sun. If you look at Ripple Lake in the air at night, then the oval-shaped lake surface is like a moon, the five islands that seem to be disconnected are the laurel trees in the moon, and the entire Five Islands Park is a hazy poem, an ancient Story, a light picture.

The Five Islands in the Dark

In the ripples of the lake, there are five small islands scattered around, like five emeralds in a white jade plate, bright and dazzling, and like a pool of spring water. The five water birds in it are peaceful and natural. The scenery among the five islands is different, but the only similarities are the singing of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and the green willows and pines. Foreign tourists who set foot there for the first time may be lost in the small island where the flowers are dim and the sceneries change with each step, just like visiting the Penglai Fairy Island. There are many trees, birds, flowers and grass on the island. Its trees include pine, cypress, poplar, willow, neem, mulberry, elm, locust, peach, pear, apricot, jujube, iron tree, palm, maple, linden, pomegranate, and ivy. wait. Its birds include sand gulls, egrets, cuckoos, orioles, thrushes, grunts, mandarin ducks, warblers, pasques, larks, kingfishers, skylarks, etc.

Its flowers include plum blossoms, peonies, peonies, crabapples, magnolias, roses, roses, jasmine, water lilies, lotus, epiphyllum, osmanthus, hibiscus, hibiscus, jasmine, cockscomb, narcissus, chrysanthemum, peach blossom, apricot blossom, plum blossom, etc. The grasses include velvet, zoysia, carpet grass, triproot grass, bamboo grass, dragon's claw grass, poppy, etc. In fact, it is difficult for a layman to explain clearly the exotic flowers and plants here. Instead, it can be described and summarized by a sentence from Li Ruzhen's "Flowers in the Mirror": "Flowers that never fade in four seasons, grass that never fades in eight seasons." The flowers, plants and trees are like this, and the buildings on the island are also very stylish. There is a white marble sculpture at the front door, with wild geese swimming in the water and a jade girl playing the flute, which makes people daydream. Behind the sculpture are the Tong Le Hall, pavilions, vermilion oak brackets, and the East Island Senior University building, all of which belong to the Suzhou garden architectural style. There is also a children's paradise on the East Island, a four-corner Fengle Pavilion, a green garden dance hall, and a gateball court, which is indeed a wonderful place for entertainment. The building on Beidao is a three-sided courtyard, named "Bonsai Garden". There are hundreds of bonsais, flowers, trees, and root carvings on display in the garden, which are elegant and unique and are a delight to the eyes and ears. In front of Beidao there is a dome-shaped promenade surrounded by wisteria, with green shade like a shade; behind it there is a small winding bridge connecting the shore, named "Curved Bridge Yinghong". The bridge is not exquisite, but it is unique and interesting. A four-cornered pavilion is arched in the middle of the bridge, where visitors can stop and take a rest, enjoy the refreshing breeze, watch the tail of fish, and listen to the chirping of orioles. The northern part of the West Island is a small zoo with peacocks, sika deer, monkeys, etc., and the southern part is a flower garden. The greenhouse is a greenhouse type, and the sunny side is entirely made of glass mirrors. The buildings on the South Island include Meigong Pavilion, rockery, and ink-washing pool. They are all based on the same theme, so it is also called "Migong Island". There are no buildings on the central island, only green trees. On the southern side of the road, there are two large stone lions, one female and one male, playing with a ball in a lifelike shape. Some people say that they are still the "senior" people from hundreds of years ago. There is also a sunset mountain to the west of Goto. The shape of the pools in the five islands is also very particular. Since it is surrounded by rippling lakes, the water in the pools in the islands should be different. The water in the pool between the East Island and the Middle Island is "bulged" in by the Tong Le Hall in the south, making the pool look like a big moon bud, like a lunar eclipse. The pond between the middle island and the west island is a large lotus pond. The pond is round in shape, with clear water and green leaves. Under the moonlight, it glows with blue light, like a bright moon. The ink-washing pond on the South Island is shaped like an inkstone and is oval in shape. It makes tourists think about the ancients. A world of purple and red flowers, the hometown of singing and dancing birds. The scenery of the Five Islands Park changes in the morning and evening, and in different seasons. If you want to know the true face of the Five Islands, you must be in the Five Islands.

Migong Pond with Fragrance of Han Ink

On the South Island of Wudao Park, there is a painting pavilion standing tall. In front of the pavilion is a pool of clear water shaped like an inkstone. The pavilion is called "Migong Pavilion" and the pool is called "Migong washes the ink pool". The breeze blows through the pavilion railings and wrinkles the clear water in the pool, arousing all kinds of feelings of condolences among the tourists. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Lianshui, the Huaihe River, and Haihuai Lake were home to thousands of hectares of rice fields, thousands of fishing boats, and hundreds of salt stoves. Fish, rice, salt, and reeds were sold far away to the Central Plains, and scholars, farmers, industries, and merchants lived and worked in peace and contentment. In the fourth year of Shaosheng reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty (1097), the famous calligrapher and painter Mi Fu (zi Yuanzhang) came to know Lianshui Army. He fell in love with the charm of the river and sea and the style of the field at first sight. In his spare time, he is obsessed with art appreciation and creative activities. Mi Fu set up a calligraphy and painting studio in the county office, named "Ruimo Hall". On one side of the hall, there is a rockery made of strange stones on the spiritual wall. Thin bamboo poles are interspersed between the "mountains". Weeping willows, flowers, plants and wisteria are planted on the other side. In front of the hall is a small square pond with swaying willow silk and fish flying lightly. "The scenery is close to the trees and the mountains are gathered together, and the inkstones are covered in inkstones, turtles and fish are hidden". Here Mi Fu played with strange stones, painted pictures, washed the ink in the green pond, and often signed "pen in ripples". Over time, the water in the pool became half clear and half black. Every morning, mist rises from the pool. To this day, it remains the same. In the second year of Mi Fu's reign, he was upright and upright, his government was simple and his punishments were simple, his economy was prosperous, and his people were healthy. When he left office, he still did not forget to clean up the remaining ink in his pen and recited a poem "Going to Lianshui" to express his deep attachment to him. The poem says: "The mirror is open in the long day, and the spring breeze is beautiful. The yellow fineness is still warm, and the teeth and drums are not urging each other." Mi Fu loves the ripple style, and the people in Lian admire Mi Gong's refreshing breeze. After Mi Fu left, Lian people often lingered by the ink pond to remember Huaiyuan. When the smoke in the ink pool is rising, the image of Mi Fu seems to be looming in it, with flowing calligraphy and endless singing. "Mochi Feiwu" has become a major scenic spot in the county and is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Lianyi. In the sixth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1493), Li Kan, the county magistrate, responded to the request of the Lian people and erected an inscription next to the ink pond, saying "Migong washed the ink pond".

In the summer of the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty (1726), Yu Guangzu, the county magistrate, built a pond and built a pavilion and tree monument at the old site in order to make Mi Fu Fang Zhongguang. He personally wrote "Minangong Ink Washing Pond" and "Mi Gong Pavilion". "Jian Mi Gong Pavilion" was written by Cheng Luan in "The Book of Mi Gong Pavilion", which was commemorated by laying a stone. When the work was completed, a banquet was held in the Mi Gong Pavilion, where celebrities, wise men, poets and poets were invited to drink, poems and poems were written, and the ceremony was celebrated, which was a great moment of glory. In 1982, the Lianshui County People's Government rebuilt the Ximo Pond and Migong Pavilion on the old site, bringing back the glory of this thousand-year-old scenic spot. Since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, personnel affairs have changed over time, and Mi Pavilion and Mi Chi have been abandoned and rebuilt several times. Lian people miss people when they see things, pay homage to each other, and support each other from generation to generation. This feeling will never be lost. Why? Gai is pursuing its refreshing breeze!

Tongle Hall near the water

The Tongle Hall in Wudao Park is the most elegant and elegant. The rows of Suzhou garden-style buildings attract visitors' attention and make them forget to leave. When visitors enter the gate, they will see the wisteria corridor. Dappled sunlight shines down from the pergola and shines brightly on the cobblestone paths. When you walk into the "Enter" gate, you are faced with a flower bed filled with clouds and snow. The fragrance is fragrant and intoxicating. Walking through the cloister to the main hall, you feel like entering a palace. The palace lanterns hang high in the hall, and the four walls are illuminated by calligraphy and painting. The inverted beams and forked columns at the top are well-proportioned. The doors and windows in the walls are intricately carved. Visitors can take a sip of tea here, take a break and enjoy the scenery. Go out the back door and go up to the platform, where waterside pavilions and pavilions overlap. Leaning on the railing and looking at the close-up view, you can see the fish swimming in the rippling water, and the silver flowers are splashing under the flying spring; climb up the pavilion and look into the distance, half of Lianshui City, you can see the whole field of view, the streets are full of people flowing around, and your eyes are relaxed. In fact, as long as you sit casually among the pavilions and pavilions in Tong Le Hall, under the breeze, facing the morning sun, the willow shade, the sunset, or the bright moon, you will feel satisfied and comfortable. As the saying goes, his feelings are harmonious and his joy is tame. According to the "Tong Le Tang Stele", it was built in 1937, which means "the princes and the people share the same likes and dislikes, and the world is full of joy and sorrow". Personnel affairs have gone through ups and downs, ups and downs, and the "Tong Le Tang" in the past has long since gone with the likes of "Princes and Dukes". In 1987, the Lianshui County People's Government rebuilt the Tong Le Hall with the intention of having fun with the people and the whole world.
