Song Yun, a product of the Asian Games, tells the story of the West Lake Well-Ten Scenes of the West Lake-Liu Lang Wen Ying

"Liu Lang Wen Ying" is one of the "Ten Scenes of West Lake" in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is located at Qingbomen on the southeast bank of West Lake in Hangzhou. The landscape in the Southern Song Dynasty was the Royal Garden-"Jujing Garden". Because there are many willows in the garden, the wind blows and the waves beat, and the warbler sounds euphemistically, hence the name "Willow Waves Smell the Warblers".

In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1699), the landscape was revived because Kangxi visited the West Lake, and now it is a large park covering an area of 17 hectares. The whole park is divided into four scenic spots: Friendship, Wenying Yingying, Jujing and Nanyuan. Willow bushes set off famous flowers such as Zinan, Cedar, Magnolia grandiflora, Peach Blossom, Begonia and Rose, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery of Yunshan on three sides and water on one side.

The imperial tablet engraved with the name "Liu Lang Wen Ying" is one of the important historical evidences of this landscape. It is located about 60 meters northeast of the pool in front of the Qianwang Memorial Hall. The original monument was built for Kangxi's visit to the West Lake, named "Ten Scenes of the West Lake" and the imperial book "Six Langwenying". The existing monument is 1980, which was reconstructed according to the original scale, original lettering and original handwriting. The protective building of the Imperial Monument, the Imperial Monument Pavilion, is a wooden pavilion with four pillars supporting the Qing Dynasty.

The willow shapes in Willow Waves have their own characteristics: the willow silk flutters like a drunken princess, called "drunken willow"; Branches and leaves are as lush as a lion's head, which is called "lion willow"; From a distance, it looks like a girl's dance, known as "dancing willow" ... visitors can stroll in Liulang Wenying Park, listen to the songs of Liulinying and feel the vitality of nature.
