What are the eight scenic spots in Nanxiang?

According to Li, a Shanghainese in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, these eight scenes are-

These elegant landscape names reflect the natural and elegant views of old Shanghainese. Now there is only one place left in this old Shanghai, Longhua Night Bell. However, the old Shanghai Hotel of Old Heather has completely preserved the old eight views.

Every city has its own unique landscape, and Shanghai, which has a history of hundreds of years, is no exception. As early as1February 1989, Shanghai Beach magazine published a notice in its publication, calling on citizens to choose their own scenic spots, and initially selected 35 candidate scenic spots from more than 100 scenic spots recommended by people, of which quite a few were places for religious activities in Shanghai, such as Sheshan and Xujiahui Cathedral, where the Catholic Church is located. Longhua, Jade Buddha and Jing 'an are three famous Buddhist temples in Shanghai. Baiyun view of Taoism; The Islamic Songjiang Yuan Dynasty Mosque and Xiaotaoyuan Mosque are both on the list. If those places with religious significance are included, such as Zhujiajiao jiefang bridge in Qingpu, Nanxiang Temple Brick Pagoda, tianmashan Pearl Pagoda, Jiading Confucius Temple and Heather Confucian Temple, it can be said that there is one in the world. Two years later, in similar competitions, 12 scenic spots with the most votes were Bund, Yuyuan Garden, Dianshan Lake Grand View Garden, Jade Buddha Temple, Longhua Temple Tower and Longhua Martyrs Cemetery, Guyi Garden, Shanghai Exhibition Center, Shanghai Center, Nanjing Road, Song Jun Jiu Feng, Shanghai Botanical Garden, Wusongkou and Dajinshan. The religious sites concerned only account for one sixth of them. Many of these 12 new Shanghai landscapes were formed in modern history, such as the Bund, Botanical Garden, Nanjing Road, Martyrs Cemetery, Grand View Garden, and even the newly built Shanghai Center. Their high vote rate in the candidate scenic spots shows at least two points: first, the religious consciousness of Chinese people is generally weak, which will make those religious landscapes fall off the list one after another; Second, the aesthetic taste of citizens and the places where they go out for "white photos" (meaning to play in Shanghai) are different from those of the ancient Shanghai People's Congress. The elegance of pavilions, overlooking the mountains and enjoying the flowers and the moon has long been replaced by the fashion of family picnics, shopping or watching imported blockbusters in entertainment places with first-class hardware and equipment. This is also an important reason why the brand-new Shanghai Center and Nanjing Road, which enjoy the reputation of "the first street in China", are so popular with the public.

If we trace back to the historical landscape of Shanghai, there are countless examples. In Huating County in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was the so-called "Ten Poems on Huating", which was written by Tang Xun who was appointed as the magistrate of Huating County in the first year of Jingyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1034). At that time, the ten scenic spots were the lake where the Southern Dynasties lived in ancient times, the cold cave at the northern foot of Dajinshan in Hangzhou Bay, the hunting ground (because the famous Dongwu star Lu Xun was born here in the Three Kingdoms period, and later generations also called Lu), Huzhe Lake (now Fengxian Zhelin is its site), Chidao of Qin Shihuang, fish pond of Lu Xun (Lu Xun's younger brother), Huating Valley, Lujizhai, Kunshan and Sannvgang. Tang Xun's "Ten Poems" was also sung by two other famous literati in the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi and Mei Chuan, which enhanced the "Ten Scenes". By the Southern Song Dynasty, the jurisdiction covered most of today's urban areas and Huating County in seven counties, and some even wrote hundreds of poems by Xu Shang. There are 84 songs today, which shows the prosperity of the scenery at that time. Each county also has its own unique landscape, such as the Eight Scenes in Nanxiang, the Ten Scenes in Songjiang and the Seven Treasures in Qibao Town. Is actually a local historical site.

There is also the so-called "Eight Scenes of Shanghai City" in the Ming Dynasty, which was first seen in the official Wanli "Shanghai County Records". According to Li, a Shanghainese during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, these eight sights are: the rising sun on the sea, the autumn waves in Huangpu, the evening bell in Longhua, the misty rain in Wusong, the wild crossing and the overlooking of Fenglou. Things have changed, times have changed. With the rapid development and changes in Shanghai, the face of this city is no longer what it used to be. Nostalgic people aim at the disappearing old houses or symbolic historical landscapes. As for the "Eight Scenes of Shanghai" that scholars used to talk about, it is only contained in yellowed ancient books, and it is no longer mentioned today. The reason is that they reflect the life customs closer to nature, which only belong to the unique cultural appreciation perspective of ancient Shanghai people, and are very different from today's life rhythm, environment, habits and ways of releasing and venting emotions. Of course, as the concept of "returning to nature" becomes popular again, some people follow the old customs. Let's take a look at the actual content of "Eight Scenes of Shanghai City":

"Sea, sky and rising sun" refers to going to the seawall to watch the sunrise in the morning. "At the beginning of the sea, the sun just rose at five o'clock, and the red light was shocking. After a while, I have seen it on the Teng Teng, and the sky is clearly like a pheasant. " In recent years, travel agencies have organized groups to let citizens go to Luchao Port in Nanhui, which is formed by the eastward extension of land, to watch the beautiful scenery of the rising sun in the East China Sea. 1, 1,1In the early morning of June, 1998, my son and I enjoyed Children's Day together.

"Huangpu Tao Qiu" originally refers to the traditional custom of Shanghainese watching tide in Lujiazui in August of the lunar calendar. "The three rivers meet in the sea, and the deep Taoqiu is surging like a mountain." Although it is not as spectacular as Haining, Zhejiang, it is also quite ornamental, otherwise it would not leave such a story. Lujiazui has always been a famous financial and trade zone. There are many high-rise buildings on both sides of Huangpu River, and ships are crowded on the narrow river. Where is the momentum of the waves? Only when yachts carrying thousands of tourists cruise on the calm Huangpu River every day can most foreign tourists visit the buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River. This tourist project is euphemistically called "one-day trip to Pujiang", but few local residents patronize it, because the ferry boats that travel to and from both sides of the strait every day are equally acceptable.

As for "Wusong misty rain", "Yedu Jianjia" and "Liang Shi jathyapple", some landscapes no longer exist due to changes in the natural environment, and some have been demolished due to the needs of urban construction. For example, the heavily polluted Wukeshu River (commonly known as Suzhou River) has become synonymous with black and smelly in the minds of modern Shanghainese, and the original misty rain has disappeared. From the end of 1990s, the municipal government began to control the black and smelly phenomenon of Suzhou River, with willows swaying on both sides and the river turning green again, which made people have a little experience of what the ancients wrote: "Misty rain never returns, the tide never stops at Wusong".

It turns out that "Wild Crossing" only describes the scene of Xiwu fishing village with Tang Wei, wild crossing everywhere and Punan stone bridge. This picturesque farm life can be seen everywhere in the suburbs of Shanghai in the past. The so-called "golden wind rustling back to the pond, ferrying to call the sunset. Do you know that it is difficult to find such natural wild interest in modern villages with highly developed township economy? What's more, some villages are still full of small factories or workshops that produce fake and shoddy products, thus becoming victims of serious industrial pollution!

Another example is Lujia Bridge outside Xiaodongmen (built by Shen Lu, a bachelor of Zheng De Hanlin in Ming Dynasty, also known as Bachelor Bridge). Because the big stone bridge was demolished when Fangbang was building a road, the scene of "going out of the city on a bright night and the moon on Lujiaqiao is like frost" can't be reproduced in this world. Shanghai women have the custom of "taking three bridges". They answered Qiu Guang in "Your Zun Huan Cake" and made incense everywhere. They are going to the Third Bridge to enjoy the moon and watch the moon in the water cross the bridge. Among them, the Bachelor's Bridge contributed a lot, and gradually formed the beautiful scenery of "Liang Shi jathyapple", which was carefree.

So is Overlooking the Phoenix Tower. Shanghainese used to climb Chongyang Mountain. In the days of "making cakes drunk and drinking chrysanthemum wine new", "Longshan is prosperous with friends, and Haiyi Longshan is the phoenix building". The now-disappeared Fengdan Building was originally built in Shunji Temple outside Xiaodongmen to worship Tianhou. After the wall was built in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, the building was moved to Wanjuntai in Chengtou. In that era when there were no high-rise buildings blocking people's vision, Feng Dan Tower itself had a certain height, which obviously became the first choice for Shanghainese's Double Ninth Festival. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Huangpu River will hold a dragon boat race, and Feng Dan Tower is naturally the best place to watch. Qin Rongguang, a tribute student from Shanghai in the Qing Dynasty, wrote "Ci of Zhi Zhu in Shanghai County": "There is a colorful tour in the drums and a dragon boat in Pujiang at noon. Red children and green women look along the beach, and many viewers board the Feng Dan Building. " During the Republic of China, when the city was demolished, Danfeng Building also suffered the same fate. There is a building on its old site, and the road next to it is called Feng Dan Road. A few years ago, residents of Feng Dan Road craned their necks to wait for the old Shikumen to be demolished. At present, some areas have become urban green spaces. I'm afraid few people will believe that it is also a famous landscape in Shanghai.

Compared with the above landscapes, the positions of "Gao Jiang Snow" and "Longhua Night Bell" were finally preserved. The former refers to the Dajing Guandi Temple, which was still preserved when the city walls were demolished in the early Republic of China. Built in Ming Dynasty, it was repaired many times in Qing Dynasty. In the twentieth year of Jiaqing (A.D. 18 15), it was expanded into a three-story street pavilion, with the bottom floor near the city wall and the second and third floors. Later, Governor Chen Luan of Liangjiang wrote the title of "Grand Scenic Area" for the newly-built stone workshop in Dongshou, hence the name "Grand Scenic Area". Because it is an open area outside the city, when it snows in winter, it looks like a white world wrapped in silver. "Last night, the weather sheared goose feathers, and the north wind blew all over the river. Shantou bought double steamed wine and went upstairs to split crab claws. " Judging from the customs reflected in Li's ci, Shanghainese also like to climb the tower here, drink hot wine with pliers and invite friends to enjoy the snow, which can be listed as one of the "eight scenic spots in Shanghai", showing the prosperity of "auspicious snow" in that year. Although a corner of Dajingge still exists in today's Shanghai urban area, the municipal government intends to allocate funds to repair it, and the name Dajingge, from the city's key middle school with the same name, can still make old Shanghai feel somewhat familiar and cordial. The outstanding achievements of the school in cultivating a large number of talents on the education front have also been passed down as a much-told story in Shanghai. However, Ji Xue in Gao Jiang is elegant in artistic conception, and has the amorous feelings of literati traveling and wild cranes. However, because there is no snow covering the wild, it is permanently changed from thin air.

The place where the latter happened, namely Longhua Temple, a famous Tiantai Temple in Shanghai, has temple fairs around March 15th of the lunar calendar every year, thus attracting a large number of pilgrims from far and near. The so-called "March 15th" is a beautiful spring day with many episodes of Gu Chan. The waves took the bell away and the boat crossed Longhua 18 Bay. " The sound of the morning bell and the evening drum from the Vatican Palace must have a "different taste" when it reaches the ship full of good men and women returning from morning till night. Longhua Temple Fair still exists today, and the bells of Millennium Temple are still sonorous. Its special penetrating power transcends the limitation of time and space, making Longhua Temple transform from one of the eight ancient landscapes in Shanghai to the urban landscape of new Shanghai today.
