Can anyone give me an idea? Articles about ancient Chinese culture?

China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. It is generally believed that the five thousand years of history began with the legendary Yellow Emperor. According to the data provided by the "Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Project", the history that can be accurately estimated began with the Xia Dynasty in 2070 BC. Corresponding to its long history, Chinese culture is extensive and profound.

China had its own writing (oracle bone inscriptions) more than 3,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty. In the pre-Qin era, China had great thinkers such as Confucius and Laozi. A large number of works produced in that distant era still have global influence today, such as the Tao Te Ching, the Book of Songs, the Spring and Autumn Annals, and the Analects of Confucius.

Poetry in ancient China was very developed. The Book of Songs recorded the poetry of the Zhou Dynasty earlier. It also flourished during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the Tang and Song dynasties, Chinese poetry ushered in its heyday. Famous poets and lyricists in Chinese history include Qu Yuan, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, Li Qingzhao, etc. The Eight Great Writers of the Tang and Song Dynasties (Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Che, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong) were famous writers in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Calligraphy is a unique art in China. Famous Chinese calligraphers include Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Liu Gongquan, Yan Zhenqing and others. Chinese painting is also very famous. The famous contemporary Chinese painting painters include Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian. Famous novelists in Chinese history include Luo Guanzhong, Shi Naian, Wu Chengen, Cao Xueqin and others, who wrote many popular Chinese classics such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions".

After the May 4th Movement, the vernacular movement emerged, and vernacular began to gradually replace classical Chinese as the mainstream form of prose. Famous vernacular novelists include Lu Xun, Lao She, Mao Dun, Ba Jin, Qian Zhongshu, Zhang Ailing, Ding Ling, Shen Congwen and others. Poets and essayists who wrote in vernacular include Guo Moruo, Zhu Ziqing, etc. Famous works include Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q", Ba Jin's "Home", Mao Dun's "Midnight", Lao She's "Camel Xiangzi", Qian Zhongshu's "The Besieged City", Shen Congwen's "Border Town", etc.

China currently has 31 world heritage sites, ranking third in the world, most of which are cultural heritage or dual cultural and natural heritage.

China’s World Natural Heritage Areas include: Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, Wulingyuan Scenic Area, Huanglong Scenic Area, Yunnan Three Parallel Rivers Reserve West Lake Scenic Area

With West Lake as the core, the West Lake Scenic Area has 60 national, provincial, and municipal level cultural relics protection units and more than 100 scenic spots, including the Ten Scenic Spots of the West Lake and the New Ten Scenic Spots of the West Lake. West Lake was formerly known as Wulin Water, Qiantang Lake, Mingsheng Lake, Jinniu Lake, etc. It is surrounded by mountains to the north, west and south, urban area to the east, cloud mountains on three sides and city on the other. People in the Tang Dynasty called it West Lake because the lake was in the west of the city. Su Dongpo wrote a poem when he was guarding Hangzhou: The clear water is beautiful when the water is shining, but the mountains are also strange when they are empty and covered with rain. If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always better to put on light makeup and heavy makeup. Therefore, it is also called West Lake. The outline of the lake is approximately oval, with an area of ??6.03 square kilometers, of which the water surface area is 5.66 square kilometers and the lake shore circumference is 15 kilometers. The bottom of the lake is relatively flat, with an average water depth of about 1.5 meters, the deepest point is about 2.8 meters, and the shallowest point is less than 1 meter. Bai Causeway and Su Causeway divide the lake into five parts: outer lake, inner lake, Yue Lake, Xili Lake and Xiaonan Lake. There are four islands in the lake: Gushan, Xiaoyingzhou, Huxinting and Ruan Gongdun. The main streams flowing into the West Lake are Jinsha Port, Longhong Stream and Changqiao Stream. The West Lake water diversion project drills into the ground and passes through the mountains, attracting the clear flow of the Qiantang River. The main outlets for regulating the water level of the West Lake are: Shengtang Sluice, which flows into the canal through the Shengtang River; and Yongjin Sluice, which flows through the Huansha River underground pipeline into the Cheng River outside Wulin Gate. In ancient times, West Lake was a shallow bay connected to the Qiantang River. Later, due to siltation, the sea was cut off, and the sea water inside the sand spit became a lagoon. Therefore, the folk proverb says: The pearl of the West Lake falls from the sky, and the dragons and phoenixes dance to Qiantang. West Lake is washed by running water from mountain springs and has undergone generations of artificial dredging. When the poets Bai Juyi (772-846) and Su Dongpo (1037-1101) were governors of Hangzhou, they carefully managed the West Lake, dredged the lake mud, built water conservancy projects, irrigated farmland, and formed three islands in the lake and two Baisu embankments. , the beautiful scenery of the tower shadow on the lake.

The mountains surrounding the lake are verdant, with luxuriant flowers and trees. The peaks, rocks, caves, and ravines are interspersed with springs, pools, streams, and ravines. The green green bushes are dotted with pavilions, pavilions, pagodas, and grottoes. The lakes and mountains are picturesque. Between the clear blue waves and green clouds and green valleys, there are countless beautiful natural landscapes and dazzling historical monuments. Chinese folklore says: There are thirty-six West Lakes in the world, and Hangzhou is the best among them. He also said that the beauty of the West Lake is difficult to paint and write poems in ancient and modern times. During the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty, a Japanese envoy visited the West Lake and wrote a poem: I saw a picture of this lake in the past, but I did not believe that this lake existed in the world. We crossed the lake today and the painter still needs some time. The title of the Ten Scenes of the West Lake originated from the four-character sentence inscribed by the Northern Song Dynasty landscape painter Song Di. He used Pingsha Luoyan, Shanshi Qinglan, Yuanpu Guifan, etc. to mark the content of his paintings. Later landscape painters followed suit. In the 13th century AD, painters Ma Yuan and Chen Qingbo of the Southern Song Dynasty captured the essence of the West Lake scenery in their paintings. They also marked the pictures of Orioles in the Willow Waves, Clouds on Two Peaks, Autumn Moon on Pinghu, Remaining Snow on Broken Bridge, Moon Reflected on Three Pools, Sunset on Leifeng Peak, Spring Dawn on Su Di and Nan Screening the Evening Bell, and later painted two paintings of Fish Viewing in Huagang and Lotus Breeze in Quyuan, thus the term "Ten Scenes of West Lake" came into being. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty toured the West Lake south, inscribed names and erected steles for the ten scenic spots, and changed the two peaks to cross the clouds to the double peaks to cross the clouds, and the Quyuan Hefeng to Quyuan Fenghe. The ten scenic spots of West Lake were thus determined. In 1985, Hangzhou Daily, Hangzhou Garden and Cultural Relics Administration and other units launched an activity to collect new scenic spots and names. 50,000 people participated, which lasted for 8 months. As a result, ten scenic spots were selected, including Yunqi Bamboo Trail, Manlong Osmanthus Rain, Hupao Mengquan, Longjing Wencha, Jiuxi Smoke Tree, Wushan Tianfeng, Ruandun Huanbi, Huanglong Tucui, Jade Emperor Flying Clouds and Gemstone Liuxia. , people call it the Ten Scenes of the New West Lake. Ten famous figures including Chen Yun, Liu Haisu and Zhao Puchu inscribed their names and erected monuments for it. In the West Lake Scenic Area, in addition to the Ten Scenic Spots and the New Ten Scenic Spots, famous scenic spots include Tianzhu, Wuyun Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Yushan, Beifeng, Huxinting, Baidi, Gushan, Fanghe Pavilion, Liuzhuang, Hangzhou Flower garden, botanical garden, Nanfeng Peak, Shuile Cave, Shifeng, Geling, Ziyun Cave, Xixi, Lingfeng, etc. ?

Su Causeway is located on the west side of West Lake at Spring Dawn, connecting Nanshan Road and Beishan Road at its north and south ends, with a total length of 2.8 kilometers. It was built by Su Dongpo, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, who organized migrant workers to dredge the West Lake and pile up mud when he was an official in Hangzhou. There are also six stone arch bridges arranged on the embankment, namely Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Yadi, Dongpu and Kuahong, with alternating ups and downs, breaking the monotony of the long straight road. There are peach trees and willow trees on both sides of the embankment, and the scenery is beautiful. The embankment is now paved with asphalt, and the wide lawns on both sides are planted with various flowers and trees. There are long chairs at regular intervals, which is very quiet. During the day, tourists stroll around and browse in a leisurely atmosphere; at night, it becomes a marriage road for local couples to meet for trysts. The scenery of Sudi is different in four seasons, morning and dusk, sunny, cloudy, rainy and snowy all have interesting tastes. Especially in the spring morning, the mist on the lake is like veil, and the smoke and willows on the embankment are like clouds, so it is called the spring dawn on Su Di. ?

The Oriole in the Willows is located on the southeast bank of West Lake, near Qingbo Gate on Nanshan Road. This was originally the Jujing Garden, the imperial garden of the Southern Song Dynasty emperor. There was a Liulang Bridge in the garden, and weeping willows were planted all along the lake. The dense willow silk seemed to hang a green curtain by the lake. The spring breeze blows, the blue waves fly, and the sound of chirping orioles comes from deep in the shade. Hence the name "Weeping the Orioles in the Willow Waves". Now it has been expanded into a night park, with the area expanded from the original corner to 17 hectares. The whole park is divided into four scenic areas: Youyi, Wenying, Jujing and Nanyuan. A new bird paradise has been added to the Wenying Pavilion, where hundreds of birds are flying and the orioles are singing and dancing. The park is full of green grass and blooming flowers. ?Quyuan Fenghe The original Quyuan Fenghe was under the Hongqiao bridge at the north end of Su Causeway (the place where Kangxi inscribed the monument). In the Song Dynasty, there was a Quyuan brewing official wine. Many lotus flowers were planted in it. The fragrance was deep in the lotus, so there was the saying of Quyuan Fenghe. The current Quyuan Fenghe is hundreds of times larger than the original, and the layout is very exquisite. There are countless kinds of lotus flowers on the vast water surface of the lotus viewing area. The lotus viewing corridors, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions built near the water are simple and elegant, contrasting with the green clouds and the fragrance of lotus. There is also a West Lake Jungle Resort. The dense forest area in the park, with towering trees and thick shade covering the sky, is quite like an old forest in a deep mountain. There are many elevated birch structure huts and wooden bungalows in the forest, as well as cooking utensils for tourists to camp and have picnics. ?

Pinghu Qiuyue is located at the west end of Baidi, facing water on three sides and leaning against a lonely mountain. In the Tang Dynasty, a Pavilion overlooking the lake was built here. In the 38th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1699), it was rebuilt into the Royal Library, and a platform was built out of the water in front of the building, and a stele pavilion was erected, so it was named Pinghu Qiuyue. Standing on the platform and looking at the scenery of the West Lake, it is interesting no matter whether it is sunny or rainy, especially on an autumn night when the moon is in the sky, the lake is full of autumn light, which is full of poetry and painting. ?

Three Pools Reflecting the Moon is located around Xiaoyingzhou, one of the three islands in the West Lake. The base of the island was built with excavated mud when Su Dongpo organized migrant workers to dredge the West Lake. In the Ming Dynasty, circular dikes and ridges were built along the island to form an island in the lake and a lake in the island, just like the Penglai Fairy Island. It is such a wonderful place that it is named Xiaoyingzhou. Now there are curved bridges and unique pavilions and pavilions on the island. Under the cover of green clouds and the fragrance of lotus, the landscape is rich in layers and has a profound artistic conception. There are three beautiful small stone towers on the water in the south of Xiaoyingzhou Island. They were the coordinates that Su Dongpo erected in the deep water when he organized the dredging of the West Lake. It was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty and is now in its current form. On an autumn night, the bright moon is in the sky. If you light candles in the tower and cover the hole with tissue paper, the light shines through, and it looks like small moons reflecting in the water, forming a wonderful scene of a moon in the sky and three shadows in the lake. This is how the Three Pools Reflect the Moon got its name. ?

The Leifeng Pagoda was built on the Xizhao Mountain on the south bank of the West Lake in the sunset. It was built by the King of Wuyue in 975 to celebrate the birth of Huang Fei’s son, and named it Huang Fei Pagoda.

Later generations changed its name to Leifeng Pagoda because it was located on a hill called Leifeng. When the sun sets in the west, the shadow of the tower spreads across the sky, resplendent and magnificent. Leifeng Sunset is named after this. When it was first built, Leifeng Pagoda had 13 floors and can be climbed. After a fire in the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to 7 floors, and later to 5 floors and 8 sides. Leifeng Pagoda and Bao? The pagodas face each other across the lake, so the north and the south are facing each other. One lake reflects the two pagodas, and the thunder peak looks like Lao Na. Bao? As the girl said. The twin towers on the lake and the twin shadows in the water complement each other with the three islands in the lake and the two Subai embankments. They have added infinite beauty to tourists and brought rich myths and historical legends, which have fascinated many poets and painters in the past dynasties. Later, the Leifeng Pagoda collapsed on the afternoon of September 25, 1924 because the bricks were stolen by the villagers and the base of the tower was hollowed out. Therefore, the sunset view of Leifeng has only a good reputation. The "Hangzhou City Master Plan" approved by the State Council in May 1983 has made it clear that Leifeng Pagoda, one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake and widely popular among the people, will be restored. In the near future, this attraction will regain its glory. ?

Nanping Evening Bell is the bell and bell of Jingci Temple at the foot of Nanping Mountain. Jingci Temple was built by King Wu Yue in 954 for the eminent monk Yongming Zen Master. It was originally named Yongming Zen Temple and was renamed Jingci Zen Temple in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is one of the four major jungle temples in West Lake. There was originally a big bell in front of the temple. Every evening, the bell echoed in the mist and mist, bringing people into the artistic conception of the jade screen, the green peaks, the dusk smoke flying, and the cyan palace bell ringing faintly. The Nanping Evening Bell and the sunset at Leifeng are opposite each other across the road. The shadow of the tower and the bell constitute two of the most charming evening scenes among the ten sceneries of the West Lake. Jingci Temple is also accompanied by the myth and legend of Jigong. There is a sacred well for transporting wood in the temple, which attracts countless tourists to come and watch. From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Jingci Temple experienced ups and downs. After two renovations in 1959 and 1984, it was restored to new condition. A new copper bell weighing 15,000 kilograms was cast. The melodious bell echoed in the night sky of West Lake. ?

The Broken Bridge is the eastern starting point of Baidi and is located at the watershed point of Waihu Lake and Beili Lake. The name of the Broken Bridge comes from the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Hu's poem "Broken Bridge". It is also called Broken Bridge because the road to Gushan is broken here. The story of "The Legend of the White Snake", one of China's four major folklores, happened here. In the old days, there were steps on the stone arch bridge, and there was a small pavilion in the center of the bridge. It was snowing in winter, and the ice and snow melted on the sunny side of the bridge, but on the shady side, there were jade and silver pavilions. The bridge seemed to be broken by inches, or the bridge and embankment were broken, forming a unique landscape. It is also known as the Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow. ?

Shuangfeng Chaoyun is located beside Hongchun Bridge on Lingyin Road, where Shuangfeng Chaoyun Yubei Pavilion is located. The two peaks refer to the most famous South Peak and North Peak of the two mountain ranges surrounding Hunan in Tianzhu Mountain. The two peaks face each other at a distance, more than 10 miles apart. When the mountain rain was about to come, I looked towards the majestic twin peaks. The clouds were as thick as the distant mountains, and the distant mountains were as light as floating clouds. The clouds and the mountains were hazy and difficult to distinguish. The peaks of the twin peaks flickered. Plug into the cloud. At this time, visitors seem to be facing a huge splash-ink landscape painting, with the vast sea of ??clouds and the faintly visible peaks. This is how Shuangfeng inserted the clouds got its name. ?

Huagang Fish Viewing Park is located at the southern end of Sudi, leaning against Xishan Mountain in the north. It is the largest first-level park in the West Lake Scenic Area. In ancient times, because a stream flowed from Huajia Mountain into the West Lake, it was called Huagang. During the Song Dynasty, Lu Garden was built at the foot of Huajia Mountain. It was the private garden of Lu Yunsheng, the internal servant of the Southern Song Dynasty. Flowers and fish were planted in the garden. The scenery was so picturesque that it was labeled by the painter as "Huagang Fish Watching". The abandoned garden was rebuilt during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. This scenic spot originally only had one monument, one pavilion, one pool and three acres of land. Now it has been built into a large park covering an area of ??more than 20 hectares. Fish viewing in Huagang is centered on fish, and across the large lawn is the fish paradise. Visitors gather around the fish pond to cast bait, and schools of fish are churning in the water, chasing and competing for food.

Entering from the Yunqi Stone Archway, you will see a natural scenery of thousands of green poles and several meandering mountain streams and fine springs along the way. Next to the bamboo path are the Stele Pavilion and Xixin Pavilion where Chen Yun inscribed Yunqi Bamboo Path. In the small pool in front of the pavilion, the water is clear to the bottom and very cool, which can wash away the dust. ?

Manlong Guiyu Manlong refers to the path Manjuelong between the South Peak and Baihe Peak. More than 7,000 sweet-scented osmanthus trees are planted along this mountain road. In the golden autumn season, the woods are graceful, the pearls and trees are beautiful, and the empty mountains are filled with fragrance, which is refreshing to the heart. There is a poem from the ancients that says: August is the time to travel to the West Lake in the Qing Dynasty. Where can I smell the fragrance and enjoy the secluded scenery? I feel full of golden grains beside the Long River, and the wind blows in the autumn of thousands of mountains. Therefore, it was named Manlong Guiyu. At the southern foot of Shiwu Ridge between Nanfeng Mountain and Qinglong Mountain, there is a cave shaped like a stone house, named Shiwu Cave. There is an Osmanthus Hall in front of the cave. ?

Hupao Dream Spring Hupao is Hupao Spring, located in Dinghui Zen Temple in Daci Mountain. The name Hupao comes from the dream spring. Legend has it that the eminent monk Xingkong lived here in the Tang Dynasty, but later planned to move away due to water shortages. One day, he received instructions from God in a dream: There is Tongzi Spring in Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, and two tigers should be sent to move it there. Sure enough, I saw two tigers running on the ground and making dens, with spring water gushing out. This is how Hupao Mengquan got its name. The fun of visiting Hupao lies in the spring. After entering the mountain gate, the clear spring makes a string-like sound under the feet, just like the pipa music of dripping beads falling on the plate. Hupao Spring is very clear and the water quality is clean. Longjing tea leaves Hupao water, which has always been known as the two best places in the West Lake. From listening to the spring, observing the spring, tasting the spring, testing the spring to dreaming of the spring, people can naturally enter a wonderful realm of vividness, fantasy and contentment.

Longjing Wencha Longjing is located on Fenghuang Ridge to the west of West Lake. During the Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong made elixirs here. During severe droughts, the water in the well did not dry up. People thought it was connected to the sea, so it was named Longjing.

The strange thing about Longjing water is that when it is stirred, a water dividing line appears on the water surface, like a gossamer, which keeps swinging and then slowly disappears. This little wonder adds to the fun for visitors. Since ancient times, people have regarded a glass of mountain water as the best enjoyment. Longjing is both a famous spring and the origin of China's famous Longjing green tea, so it is named Longjing Wencha.

Longjing green tea has the four characteristics of green color, strong aroma, beautiful shape and sweet taste
