Travel notes of Yuyang Mountain

It's been so long since I came back from Yuyang Mountain, and I'm still immersed in the atmosphere of the ancient culture of Wu, which is unforgettable for a long time. Yuyang Mountain is located on the shore of Taihu Lake, with lush trees and a quiet and pleasant environment. From a distance, you can see the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake, which is beautiful and spectacular. The historical and cultural resources of the ancient State of Wu in Yuyang Mountain are extremely rich, and many poems, paintings and legends of war relics have been left here by civil servants and military commanders in past dynasties. The mountain is not high, but there is spirit. The shape of Yuyang Mountain is very similar to the most auspicious Olympic God in China. The special geographical location and rich historical culture endow Yuyang Mountain with spirituality, making it a treasure mountain near Taihu Lake in Wuzhong. The name of Yuyang Mountain comes from the story of Wu Zixu's "giving a mountain to repay his kindness". At that time, Wu Zixu led the army to break the strong Chu, dug the grave and flogged King Chu Ping, and after taking revenge for the blood feud, he found the descendants of the old fisherman who saved his life and brought them back to Wu. Later, I found this treasure trove of geomantic omen nearest to the palace, put them properly and named it Yuyang Mountain. The old fisherman's saving his life is like a mighty ocean, and he will never forget it.

Seeing the origin of Yuyang Mountain at the entrance of the scenic spot, we all entered the scenic spot with great interest. The newly-built gate in Yuyang Mountain Scenic Area is very imposing. Because it is the off-season of tourism, there are few tourists. Accompanied by friends, standing on the dew in the morning and breathing the fresh air, we climbed to Yuyang Pavilion at the top of Yuyang Mountain in one breath. The weather is exceptionally good. Looking around, ancient warships stand in Taihu Lake, as if Wu Zixu and Sun Wuzheng were leading the navy of Wu against the sailors of Yue. The soldiers' screams and rumbling drums sounded in my ears, as if they had cut through the historical sky. However, the lakes and mountains of cargo ships, cruise ships and yachts cruising from south to north mercilessly interrupted my reverie. I have been to Taihu Lake several times, but I went to Wuzhong for the first time to see Taihu Lake, and climbed the top of Yuyang Mountain for the first time to see the panoramic view of Taihu Lake. In the early morning, Taihu Lake is still shrouded in morning fog, giving people the feeling that Taihu Lake has been shrouded in mystery. Friends say that the top of Yuyang Mountain is an excellent place to see the scenery of Taihu Lake, and only here can we see the whole picture of Taihu Lake. Because Yuyang Mountain is located in the central area of Taihu Lake in Suzhou, surrounded by the lake on three sides, with Xukou Ancient Town in the east, Dengwei Guangfu, Xuanmu and Gongshan in the north, Dongting Mountain in the east and Dongting Mountain in the west, Taihu Bridge, such as Changhong Libo, connects Xishan, Yeshan and Changsha islands in series. Looking up, it is really a vast expanse of smoke and mountains. How beautiful! A bridge flies to Taihu Lake with great momentum. A friend said that this is Taihu No.1 Bridge, and the expansion project of No.1 Bridge was basically built next to it. Because there are too many vehicles on the holiday 1 Bridge, it is difficult to get in and out of the traffic jam. The traffic situation that can't get in and out seriously affects the mood and leisure effect of tourists. Therefore, the government has carried out a bridge expansion project, making Wuzhong Taihu Tourism Resort truly the back garden for people's holidays in Shanghai and Suzhou.

Breathe the oxygen-enriched ions in the oxygen bar at the top of the mountain in the morning to make people relax. Next, we came to the north of the mountain, in the bamboo forest of Wu Yuhua at the northern foot of Yuyang Mountain, where Princess Wu and Zheng Dan were buried. According to historical records, this Zheng Dan is the concubine of He Lv, the king of Wu. However, in literary works and film and television dramas for thousands of years, it is said that it is the love of Fu Cha, the king of Wu. The beautiful Yueguo woman and Shi live in the same village. After being spotted, it was presented to Fu Cha, the king of Wu, together with the stone. This time we also visited Shi's hometown. At that time, I was still thinking, the ending will not be as mysterious as Shi, will it? So this is the place where flowers are buried. Further ahead is the North Wharf of Yuyang Mountain, which was once the naval base of the ancient State of Wu. It was here that Wu Zixu trained Wu's elite navy, cooperated with Sun Wu's land and water, and defeated Chu Yue's invasion. Because Yuyang Mountain is the place where Wuwangcheng is located, there are a large number of historical sites of Wu culture. The most famous places are Jiangdun and Nangong, which are mounds where the King of Wu worships Sun Wu as a general, and also places where Sun Wu trains, such as "three orders and five applications" and "beheading two concubines". Because of time constraints, we can't visit them one by one. Now is the best time to end the viewing.

Although we are in a hurry, we are just browsing in Yuyangshan, but our party still feels quite worthwhile. Yuyangshan witnessed the rise, prosperity and decline of a dynasty, the history of wuyue's hegemony, the lament of Wu Zixu, the hero of the world, and the despair of Fu Cha, a bad king, who hid his face and hanged himself. There is even an epic story of Wu Zixu's dripping kindness, and "Giving a mountain to repay a kindness" will be told by Yuyangshan from generation to generation.
