A poem praising Baoding scenery

Qingshi Lai Min

Fengfeng is proud of the autumn wind outside the forest, and the river bridge in the spring flow area rises.

The sound of the waves is close to that of Brahma, and the water is even farther away.

With the huge waves, seaweed drifted away from the smoke.

When you are free, you can buy the words of crossing the river to find a monk, and listen to the bells to send the evening tide.

Baoding People's Park is located at the intersection of Muyiquan River and Fangshun River. In ancient times, it was called "the intersection of two streams". This area used to be the Yuetan Courtyard built in the early years of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and it was the residence of monks from all walks of life at that time. In the eighth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (165 1), Yuetan Temple was expanded into Yu Ling Temple. Later, Emperor Qianlong also built a palace here. The "Xisha Tao Qiu", one of the eight scenic spots in Baoding ancient city, refers to this area.

During the period of warlord melee, Cao Kun, an envoy from Zhi, Lu and Yu provinces, was stationed in Baoding. 192 1 year, he built gardens in the west of the south gate, outside the wall of the south city and on both sides of the Fuhe River, covering an area of more than 600 mu, which was called "Cao Kun Garden". 1928 was renamed "Zhongshan Park". There are theaters, teahouses, cafes, restaurants, restaurants, golf rooms, swing seats, racetracks and so on. There is also Xinghua Village with apricot trees as forests and a large rockery with a strange shape and a length of 100 meters. 1935, Song, chairman of Kuomintang Hebei Province, donated money to repair the park and renamed it "People's Park", which means "having fun".

Today, it has become the largest comprehensive cultural and entertainment venue in the city. There are working people's cultural palace, cinema, open-air theater, roller skating rink and children's playground in the park. There are also flower beds, flower beds, goldfish ponds and nearly 100 kinds of rare birds and animals. Pines, cypresses and willows are luxuriant in the garden, and hexagonal pavilions, octagonal pavilions, tea rooms, canteens and photography departments are hidden among them, making the garden more poetic.
