What are the stories of tourist attractions in China?

1, West Lake has many beautiful myths and legends and folk stories. Legend has it that a long time ago, Yulong and Jinfeng in the sky found a piece of white jade on Xiandao near the Milky Way. They pondered together for many years, and white jade became a bright pearl. Wherever this orb goes, trees are evergreen and flowers are in full bloom. However, when the orb was discovered by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother sent heavenly soldiers to take it away. Yulong and Jinfeng hurried to get the orb, but the Queen Mother refused, so there was a fight. As soon as the Queen Mother's hand was released, the pearl fell to the ground and became a sparkling West Lake. Jade Dragon and Jinfeng also came to earth, becoming Jade Dragon Mountain (Jade Emperor Mountain) and Phoenix Mountain, guarding the West Lake forever. ?

In fact, West Lake is a lagoon. According to historical records, as far back as the Qin Dynasty, West Lake was still a bay connected with Qiantang River. Wu Shan and Baoshi Mountain, towering in the north and south of the West Lake, were two headlands that surrounded the cove at that time. Later, due to the influence of tides, sediment accumulated at two headlands and gradually became sandbars. Since then, the sandbar has expanded in three directions: east, south and north. Finally, Wu Shan and the sandbars of Baoshi Mountain are connected to form an alluvial plain, which separates the bay from Qiantang River, and the original bay becomes an inner lake, thus the West Lake was born. ?

The name "West Lake" originated in the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, the West Lake was named Wulin Water, Ming Sheng Lake, Jinniu Lake, Longchuan, Ganyuan, Qiantang Lake and Shang Hu. In the Song Dynasty, when Su Dongpo was guarding Hangzhou, he sang poems in praise of the West Lake, saying, "The water is bright and beautiful. It's rainy in the mountains. Compared with West Lake and West Lake, it is always appropriate to make up for it. " The poet skillfully compared the West Lake to the beauty stone in the ancient legend of China, so the West Lake was nicknamed "Xizi Lake".

2. Broken bridge:

West Lake is a broken bridge, originally called Duanjia Bridge.

A long time ago, the white sand embankment of the West Lake meandered from the lonely mountain to here, and there was only a small wooden bridge with no name, which was closely connected with the shore of the lake. Visitors must pass this small wooden bridge to visit the lonely mountain. Due to the sun and rain, the wooden bridge often breaks, which brings great inconvenience to tourists. ? There is a simple hut next to the broken bridge, where a couple named Duan lived. Both of them are kind and hard-working. Men fish in the lake for a living, and women set up wine stalls at the door to sell local wine. Because the wine tastes bad, customers seldom come to the door and business is light.

One day, when the sun was setting and the couple were about to close the door, an old man with white hair and rags came, saying that he had come all the way and was penniless and asked to stay overnight. Seeing that he was old and poor, Duan Jia and his wife warmly asked him to stay. They also burned a carp just caught from the West Lake and played a bowl of locally brewed wine to entertain the elderly. You're welcome. The old man drank three bowls in a row and then fell asleep on the bed.

When the white-haired old man left the next morning, he said, "Thank you for your hospitality. I have three kinds of wine medicines here, which can help you make good wine. " Say, take out three red wine medicines and say goodbye.

Duan Jia and his wife put the old man's three kinds of wine medicines in a wine-making jar, and the wine brewed was bright red and extremely sweet. Since then, every day, customers are crowded, and Duan Jia scarlet wine is famous in Hang Cheng, and its business is booming day by day. Duan Jia and his wife tore down the hut and built a restaurant. In order to thank the white-haired old man, they saved a sum of money and prepared to thank him well.

Years passed, and three years passed. This winter, it was snowing heavily in the West Lake, and the white-haired old man braved the heavy snow to come to Duanjia Hotel. When the couple saw the benefactor coming, they were overjoyed and asked the old man to stay in his house for a long time. However, the old man will say goodbye the next day. When they left, Duan Jia and his wife took out 320 pieces of silver and gave it to the old man. The old man declined with a smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I am a lonely old man. What's the use of asking so much money? " You still use it in the most important place. "Say, then walked through the snow to the bridge. Duan Jia and his wife stood at the door to see each other off. They saw that the old man had just stepped onto the small wooden bridge, his foot slipped, the bridge broke and the old man fell into the lake. The couple rushed to the rescue, and suddenly saw the white-haired old man standing on the lake, walking on the ground, smiling and waving to them, drifting away.

Duan Jia and his wife realized that the white-haired old man was not a mortal. Remembering what the old man said when he left, he used the money to build a tall Qingshi arch bridge and a pavilion at the bridge head. From then on, people who visit the West Lake are no longer afraid that the road will slip and the bridge will break. People miss Duan Jia's kindness in building a bridge, so they call this bridge Duanjia Bridge. Later, because "Duan" and "Duan" are homophonic, it was called broken bridge.
