Nanjing Mochou Lake

Tourists: Now we are going to visit Mochou Lake, a scenic spot in the west of Nanjing. Mochou Lake is located outside Shuiximen in the western suburbs of Nanjing, with a total area of ??about 700 acres, of which the land area is more than 200 acres and the water surface accounts for about three-quarters. The whole country is full of clear water, rows of willow trees, and dotted with pavilions and pavilions. It is a typical Jiangnan water town scenery. In ancient times, Mochou Lake once enjoyed the reputation of "the first scenic spot in Jinling". Yuan Mei, a famous poet in the Qing Dynasty, once said: "I want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, but it is difficult to judge right from wrong with the smoke." But I feel that the West Lake is losing, Jiang Fanyun is shooting Tianfei's poem outside, and he praises Mochou Lake.

The current Mochou Lake Garden mainly includes Shengqi Tower, Yujin Hall, Lotus Appreciation Pavilion, Water Shower, Open-air Stage and other scenic spots, as well as the newly built statue of Mochou Girl. On the south bank of the lake, there is also the Guangdong Pavilion. Tomb of military martyrs.

Origin of the name of Mochou Lake: Shicheng Lake? Mochou Lake

Mochou Lake, formerly known as "Shicheng Lake". Before the Six Dynasties, this was the confluence of the Yangtze River and the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River. The two rivers met and gradually formed a beach. As the Yangtze River moved westward, the beaches gradually expanded, and the outlet of the Qinhuai River also moved to the northwest, which is now the Sanhan River, leaving some lakes and ponds here. Mochou Lake is a small lake located on the abandoned river channel at the intersection of the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River. It was called Shicheng Lake because it was close to Stone City.

The name Mochou Lake began to appear in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to records at that time: Mochou Lake is located outside Sanmen. In the past, there was a prostitute named Lu Mochou who lived here, hence the name. ?According to legend, during the Song and Qi Dynasties of the Southern Dynasties, there was a Luoyang woman named Mochou who was born beautiful, intelligent, and kind, and depended on her father for life. When he was a few years old, his father unfortunately passed away. Because his family was poor and he had no money to bury his father, in exchange for the funeral expenses, he sold himself to Lu Yuanwai, a businessman in Jiankang (now Nanjing), and became his daughter-in-law, living by the Shicheng Lake. Mo Chou is a girl who loves charity and is beautiful. Once, Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty passed by Lu Yuanwai's house and saw Mochou Nu. He had evil thoughts. He first recruited her husband to serve as a soldier, and then issued an order to select Mochou Nu to enter the palace. Mochou's daughter would rather die than obey and throw herself into the river. In memory of this beautiful and kind-hearted Mochou girl, people renamed Shicheng Lake "Mochou Lake". The statue of Mochou in the courtyard pool is based on this beautiful legend. It expresses the sympathy and praise of the ancient working people for Mochou in the era when Mochou could not worry, and expresses people's love for beauty. The yearning for life.

Shengqi Tower? Yujin Hall? Statue of Mochou Nu? Tomb of the Martyrs of the Guangdong Army

Shengqi Tower is the main building in Mochou Lake Park. According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, often came here to play chess. Xu Da failed every time. Zhu Yuanzhang understood Xu Da's intention very well and was afraid that Shengjun would be guilty. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xu Da in advance to play a game of chess with his true skill. As a result, Xu Da not only won the chess game, but also arranged the chess game very cleverly, using the chess pieces to form the word "Long Live". Zhu Yuanzhang turned from surprise to joy, and secretly admired Xu Da's superb chess skills. Not only did he admit defeat, he also connected the building with it. Mochou Lake was given to Xu Da in recognition, and Shengqi Tower got its name from this. The current "Shengqi Tower" plaque has vigorous calligraphy and was written by Mei Qizhao, the number one scholar in the Qing Dynasty. There is a couplet next to it that reads: "The beauty of the country leaves half of the lake in mist; the career of a prince is like a game of chess and cups." The furnishings on the upper floor are simple and simple. On the north and south walls of the nave are portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da and couplets of "Zhong Fu Kai Ji, Shi Cheng Chess" written by famous modern calligraphers. A chess table is placed in front of the hall specifically for playing chess.

Located on the left side of Shengqi Tower is an antique courtyard house. According to legend, this is the residence of Mochou. Because Mochou liked tulips, it was called Yujin Hall. However, the original building was destroyed by war, and the current Yujin Hall was rebuilt in 1795. In the courtyard, there are the poem stele "Song of Water in the River" written by Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty for Mochou Nu, a stone carving of Mochou Nu painted and carved in the Qing Dynasty and "Song of Mochou" inscribed by Guo Moruo. The interior furnishings are simple, solemn and elegant. There are many poems and paintings about Mochou Nu by literati hanging on the walls.

On both sides of the Yujin Hall, in a pool surrounded by a red-railed corridor, there is a white marble statue of Mochou Nu, carefully sculpted based on historical data. Her hair is in high buns, her skirt hangs to the ground, and her hands are carrying mulberries. The basket is slim and graceful, with a calm and lifelike expression. It is carved based on the poetic meaning of "Fourteenth Picking Mulberries on the South Street" in "Song of Water in the River". Around the square pool, there are curved corridors, lotus viewing pavilion, square pavilion, Guanghua Pavilion and other buildings, which are interconnected and cleverly connected, making them appear particularly elegant and clean.

On the south bank of Mochou Lake, there is a tomb of the martyrs of the Guangdong Army covering an area of ??more than 370 square meters. The tomb was built in March 1912 and was destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War. It was rebuilt in 1947 and again in 1979. This tomb was built to commemorate the martyrs of the Cantonese army who died heroically in the battle against Zhang Xun, a remnant of the feudal society, who attempted to restore the monarchy. In front of the tomb is a tombstone of "Jianguo Chengren" written by Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and an epitaph written by Huang Xing is engraved on the underside of the tomb.

Mochou Road? Chaotian Palace Ruins

The garden is famous for its water, and the road is named after it. There is also a street called Mochou Road adjacent to Mochou Lake. In the past, people often said that if you have not visited Fuzidian and Mochou Road, you have not been to Nanjing.

Confucius Temple is famous for being a place of entertainment and entertainment, while Mochou Road is famous for its "black market". It is said that the "black market" on Mochou Road had already appeared in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, some shabby officials sold their properties and, fearing others' ridicule, would trade here in the dark. The items traded here include scrap items purchased by small traders from the private sector, as well as stolen goods from thieves and pickpockets and materials misappropriated by corrupt officials. It was not until the founding of New China that the "black market" in this area was banned.

In the middle section of Mochou Road, you can see a tall stone square, which contains the ruins of Chaotian Palace, a place of ritual practice before the grand ceremony in the early Ming Dynasty.

Dear tourists: This is the end of our visit to Mochou Lake Park. Now let’s go to the next attraction.

Overview of the city's appearance, geographical location and terrain, historical evolution, origin of name, climate characteristics, traffic conditions, tourism resources

Dear tourists: In East China Among the top tourist cities, Wuxi is famous for being close to the beautiful Taihu Lake. In this city full of warmth and water, the pleasant scenery and rich humanities attract guests from all over the world. Let us go together today to appreciate the charming style of this pearl of Taihu Lake.

Wuxi is located in the south of Jiangsu Province, on the coast of Taihu Lake, bordering the Yangtze River to the north, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces to the south, Changzhou City to the west, and Suzhou City to the east. It is 183 kilometers away from Nanjing in the west and 128 kilometers away from Shanghai in the east. The famous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which runs through north and south China, intersects here. Its terrain is a plain area with fertile land, rich products, crisscrossing canals and dense river networks. It is a famous land of fish and rice in my country. It has jurisdiction over three county-level cities: Xishan, Jiangyin and Yixing. The city has a total area of ??4,656 square kilometers and a population of approximately 4.26 million. The urban area is 343 square kilometers and has a population of about 20,000. It is the second largest city in Jiangsu after Nanjing. It has developed into a medium-sized city with light industry, textile, electronics, chemical industry, machinery and other industries.

Wuxi is an ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River in my country, with a history of more than 3,000 years. According to "Historical Records", at the end of the Shang Dynasty, Tai Bo, the eldest son of King Zhou, and his younger brother Zhong Yong came here from Shaanxi to settle down, built a city in Meili (today's Meicun area of ??Xishan City), and established the Gou Wu Kingdom. This was the beginning of Wuxi's city construction.

The name Wuxi was first seen in the "Book of Han". According to legend, when King Ping of Zhou moved eastward (about 770 BC), tin mines were discovered on the east side of Huishan Mountain. Tin was a raw material for smelting bronzes at that time, and a bloody conflict between locals and outsiders broke out that lasted for hundreds of years. By the end of the Warring States Period, tin mines were gradually declining. In 224 BC, Qin Shihuang's general Wang Jian found a stone tablet in Xishan, which was engraved with: With tin soldiers, the world will fight; if Wuxi is peaceful, the world will be clear. Wuxi Tianxianing expressed the people's desire for a peaceful life, so the name of Wuxi was passed down and became the name of the city.

Wuxi’s economic development has a solid foundation. As early as the Ming Dynasty, handicraft industries such as weaving, ceramics, and brick making were very developed. In the mid-19th century, Wuxi, Jiujiang, Changsha, and Wuhu were collectively known as China's four major rice markets. Since this century, Wuxi has relied on its superior natural conditions to become the raw material base of China's national industry and a city with developed industry and commerce, and is known as Little Shanghai.

Wuxi’s economic development has a certain relationship with good climatic conditions. Wuxi belongs to the north subtropical monsoon climate zone, with a mild and humid climate, abundant rainfall, and four distinct seasons, making it a prosperous place in the Taihu Lake Basin. Geography and climate also provide conditions for aquaculture. There are dozens of species of aquatic products produced in Taihu Lake, especially whitebait and crabs are the most famous. In addition, Wuxi's local products: fake (Huishan clay figures), large (Wuxi sauce spareribs), and empty (Wuxi oil gluten) have become good gifts for relatives and friends.

Convenient transportation provides convenience for guests traveling to Wuxi. Aviation: Wuxi Shuofang Airport has opened many routes to Beijing, Fuzhou, Foshan, Huiyang, etc. Railway: Wuxi is located on the Beijing-Shanghai line. More than 100 express trains stop in Wuxi every day. There are trains from major cities across the country that can directly reach Wuxi. Highway: The Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway passes through Wuxi and has tourist buses traveling to and from every city in East China every day; nine national and provincial highways radiate to the whole country and province. Waterway: From Huzhou, Zhejiang, you can take a tourist boat to Wuxi via Taihu Lake; from Suzhou, Zhenjiang, and Danyang, you can take a tourist boat to Wuxi via the ancient canal.

Wuxi is even more endowed with unique tourism resources. There are Yuantouzhu, known as the best spot in Taihu Lake, Huishan, the highest mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, Liyuan Garden named after Fan Li, and the famous plum blossom viewing park in the south of the Yangtze River. The resort Plum Garden and the famous garden-within-a-garden Jichang Garden are among them.

Guide words for Jiaoshan, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu

Dear tourists: After appreciating the scenery of "Jinshan Temple Wrapping Mountain", let's go to enjoy the beautiful scenery of "Jiaoshan Mountain Wrapping Temple".

Jiaoshan Scenic Area is located in the Yangtze River in the northeast of Zhenjiang City. The mountain is 71 meters high and covers an area of ??570 acres. It is the only green island in the lower reaches of the vast Yangtze River that can be used for sightseeing and exploration. It is impressive for its "mainstay" majesty. Fascinated.

Jiaoshan was originally an unnamed island in the Yangtze River, where Jiao Guang once lived in seclusion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. "Jiaoshan" was the name given posthumously by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. And because the local area is full of luxuriant bamboo forests and ancient trees, it looks like jade floating on the river, so it is called "Fuyu Mountain". The temples in Jiaoshan are hidden among the green trees, looming, which is the opposite of the "Jinshan Temple wrapped in the mountain", so there is a saying of "Jiaoshan Temple wrapped in the mountain".

Jiaoshan is not only famous for its simple and quiet natural landscape, but also for its numerous cultural landscapes. It is a famous tourist attraction at home and abroad.

Dinghui Temple: Origin of the name? Palace of Heavenly Kings? Imperial Stele Pavilion? Main Hall? Ancient Ginkgo? East Cold Spring

Dear tourists: We took a boat across the river to the southern foot of Jiaoshan Mountain pier. Go ashore and walk less than 50 meters to the north. The solemn, elegant and antique gate you see is the gate of Dinghui Temple in Jiaoshan. It was built in the 47th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. There is a pair of stone lions from the Ming Dynasty in front of the door. The plaque "Jiaoshan Dinghui Temple" on the lintel was inscribed by the great Buddhist master Mingshan. Hanging on both sides of the mountain gate is the heroic couplet "In this natural moat of the Yangtze River, there are saints in China", which was written by Liao Gei of Bazhou, Sichuan during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. On the wall facing the mountain gate, there are four big characters inscribed by Hu Zanzong, a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty: "The sea is calm and the waves are not rising", which shows the meaning of peace in the Buddhist world, and people regard it as. It is the horizontal version of this couplet. The horizontal commentaries of the Ming Dynasty and the couplets of the Qing Dynasty are cleverly matched, relevant, meaningful and full of meaning.

Visitors: Dinghui Temple has a long history among Buddhist temples. During the Tang Dynasty, Fa Bao, a disciple of Master Xuanzang, came here to build the Mahavira Hall. Shen Yong, a disciple of Master Jianzhen, once presided over Buddhist rituals and was known as the "Ten Directions Jungle". In the Song Dynasty, it was called Puji Zen Temple, and in the Yuan Dynasty, it was renamed Jiaoshan Temple. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty gave it the name "Dinghui Temple" during his tour to the south, and it has been still used today. The two words "Dinghui" are taken from the Buddhist meaning of "Concentration arises from precepts", "Fixed wisdom" and "Two blends of stillness and illumination, equal concentration and wisdom". "Concentration" means getting rid of all distracting thoughts and highly concentrating your thoughts; "Hui" means growing wisdom through the three ways of "listening, thinking, and practice". The two words "Dinghui" are the outline of Buddhist practice and have profound meaning.

The current temple still maintains the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. There is the Tianwang Hall in the front, the Mahavira Hall in the middle, the Sutra Collection Building in the back, as well as the Zhaitang, the Buddhist chanting hall, the abbot's room, etc. It is one of the Buddhist resorts in the south of the Yangtze River. one.

Everyone follow me into the mountain gate. Passing through the Tianwang Hall, there is a square wooden structure called the Imperial Stele Pavilion in the courtyard. The stone stele in the pavilion is engraved with "Song of Traveling to Jiao Mountains" written by Emperor Qianxiu during his first southern tour; "Traveling to Jiaoshan, Composing Songs and Repeating Old Compositions" was written by Shan Shi. In the poem, Qianlong compared the scenery of Jinshan Mountain and Jiaoshan Mountain: "Jinshan Mountain is like Xie'an, and the silk pipes are intoxicating in the spring breeze; Jiaoshan Mountain is like Xizhi, lying stiffly on the east bed with his belly exposed." This is difficult for a brother, another is difficult for a brother, Yuan Fang and Ji Fang each have their own voices; if we talk about mountains and rivers in terms of their true colors, I mean one thing and not another. Qianlong believed that in terms of the true nature of mountains and rivers, Jiaoshan Mountain is better than Jinshan Mountain.

The main hall facing you is magnificent and reflects the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. The roof of the hall is carved with dragons and phoenixes without nails. It is all made of small squares of wood. The pattern is beautiful, and there are also cornices, brackets and caissons. The colorful paintings and magnificent decoration make the whole hall magnificent, solemn and solemn. Behind the high-hanging evergreen lanterns, the kind and kind Buddhas Shiji Muni, Medicine Master, and Amitabha Buddha sit high on the lotus throne. The eighteen Arhats on both sides have lifelike shapes and different expressions. The words "Xianglin" written by Kangxi himself flickered in the candlelight and fragrant mist. On the island behind the main Buddha, the statues of Guanyin, Shancai, Dragon Girl and other Bodhisattvas are lifelike and vividly represent the story of the fifty-three ginsengs of Buddhism.

Outside the temple, there are ancient trees such as cypress from the Six Dynasties, Sophora japonica from the Song Dynasty, and Ginkgo from the Ming Dynasty. It is worth mentioning that these two ancient ginkgo trees, which are more than 500 years old, are called living fossils. Although they have been weathered, they are still luxuriant. There is a well called "Dong Lengquan" in the west courtyard of the main hall. It is said that Jiao Guang took water to make alchemy, so it is also called "Alchemy Well". Because this well was dug to imitate the cold spring in Jinshan Mountain, and its location is in the east of Jinshan Mountain, it is called "East Cold Spring".

Guanlan Pavilion (Palace)

After leaving the temple and walking eastward, we came to Guanlan Pavilion, the Qianlong Palace. Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River six times and Jiaoshan three times. This two-story palace was built in the year before his third trip to the south of the Yangtze River (1761). It is an exquisite, small and quaint courtyard. More than 50 years ago, there was no pavilion in front of the palace. A beach is formed, and the waves outside the pavilion hit the shore. The waves are undulating and the sound of the tide is loud, so it is called "Guanlan Pavilion". The three bright windows on the east, south and west sides of the upstairs are like mirrors. From the corridor upstairs, you can have a panoramic view of the vast river. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong once inspected the navy from the pavilion.

Jiaoshan Stele Forest (Baomoxuan):? The Four Wonders of Jiaoshan? Tang Stele? "The Crane Inscription"

We walked north from Guanlan Pavilion, crossed the small bridge, and crossed After the rockery, we arrived at the Jiaoshan Forest of Steles (Baomoxuan) hidden under the ginkgo trees. It was built by Qian Zigao, the prefect of Runzhou in the early Northern Song Dynasty. There are more than 460 steles in the collection, second only to the Forest of Steles in Xi'an. It is the largest forest of steles in Jiangnan and one of the key cultural relics protection units in the country. Jinshan is famous for its pavilions, while Jiaoshan is famous for its forest of steles. Jiaoshan has basic ancient steles and various stone carvings, which add a lot of elegance to this famous Buddhist mountain. It has always been known as the "Calligraphy Mountain". According to the content, the inscriptions are divided into three parts: literature, art, and historical materials.

Among them, "Praise to Jiao Jun" written by Cai He of the Han Dynasty, "Reminiscences of Jiao Mountain" by Jiang Yan of the Liang Dynasty, poems by Wang Zan of the Tang Dynasty, and "Inscription of the Crane" by Wang Suzhi of the Jin Dynasty are well-known in ancient and modern times and are known as the "Four Ancients of Jiao Mountain". , "Jiaoshan refused". These inscriptions are embedded in the four-corridor pavilion. In the art of calligraphy, regular script, cursive script, official script, and seal script each have their own merits. They can be said to be the culmination of all calligraphy schools of the past dynasties.

Baomoxuan preserves the largest complete Tang stele in Jiangsu Province, namely the "Tang Runzhou Renjing Guan Master Wei Stele" erected in the second year of Yifeng (677) of the Tang Dynasty. The stele is 213 centimeters high and 87 centimeters wide. It is known as a "wonderful product of the early Tang Dynasty" and is a rare Tang stele in China.

Visitors: The priceless treasure in the Jiaoshan Stele Forest is the "Inscription of the Crane" written by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi. "痗" means to bury, and "痗 Crane Inscription" is the inscription for burying the crane. It is said that "Inscription on the Crane" was written by Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because he loved raising cranes very much in his life. One day, he visited Jiaoshan Mountain and a pair of cranes he brought with him died. Wang Xizhi was very sad and wrapped the cranes in yellow silk and buried them at the west foot of Jiaoshan Mountain. With tears in his eyes, he wrote the famous "Inscription on the Crane". . Its font is vigorous and unique, making it a rare treasure. There are "two inscriptions" in our country, namely the "Qihe Inscription" in Zhenjiang in the south and the "Shimen Inscription" in Luoyang in the north. Only "痗 Crane Inscription" is most highly praised by calligraphers of all ages, and is known as the "ancestor of large characters" and the "Crown of Calligraphy". The calligraphy circle believes that the value of this stele lies in the fact that it is one of the famous stone carvings in the process of developing from official script to regular script. The calligraphy you see now displayed in the window is said to be written by Tao Hongjing, a Taoist priest in Maoshan.

Ancient fort ruins

Going east from Baomoxuan, we came to the eastern foot of Jiaoshan Mountain and saw eight forts arranged in a horseshoe shape facing the Yangtze River. This is the famous Jiaoshan Mountain. Ancient fort. Jiaoshan guards the throat of the Yangtze River and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The famous patriotic general Han Shizhong of the Southern Song Dynasty once led thousands of soldiers to station in Jiaoshan to block the Jin soldiers. In the first year of Deku in the Southern Song Dynasty (1275), the armies of the Song and Yuan Dynasties fought fiercely on the river in the Jiaoshan area, and there were thrilling battle scenes. During the Opium War in 1840, in order to strengthen the defense line in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Qing government decided to build the Jiaoshan Fort and the three forts of Lushan, Xiangshan and Jiangdu Tianmiao to form a horn. The fort is an oval bunker, with the longest point of each tower being 77 meters and the widest point being 55 meters. It is based on high-quality strips of stone, and is made of loess, lime, fine sand and glutinous rice. , equipped with a cannon weighing 6,000 to 8,000 kilograms, is one of the more complete preserved modern artillery fort sites and is a provincial cultural relic protection unit.

The Jiaoshan Fort is an important relic of our people’s anti-British and anti-imperialist struggle. It is also an ironclad proof that the people of Zhenjiang defended their enemies with blood and fought bravely against foreign invaders.

Suijiang Tower

Dear tourists: Go up the mountain from the north of the ancient fort and walk with me to the top of Jiaoshan East Peak. We came to "Suijiang Tower", formerly known as "Suijiang Pavilion", because There are wooden Buddha statues on all sides of the pavilion, and people also call it the "Erawan Buddha Pavilion". It was founded in the Song Dynasty and moved to the top of the West Peak during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. In the 26th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1761), it was rebuilt on the original site with Buddha statues on all sides. In the 10th year of Tongzhi (187), Shen Bingcheng rebuilt it into a two-story octagonal shape, echoing the Jinshan Tunhai Tower. He took the poem "Absorb the river water to cook new tea, buy all the green mountains to paint the screen", and changed its name to "Suijiang Tower". The current building was rebuilt in the 9th year of Wei Dynasty. The horizontal plaque "Jiangshan Shenggui" upstairs was written by Shen Bingcheng's grandson and the famous contemporary calligrapher Shen Maishi when he was 90 years old.

Please follow me as I circle up the stairs. You see, the corridors of this building are connected in all directions, and there are views on all sides. When we climb up the building and look far away, we can have a panoramic view of the swirling scenery of the north and south of the Yangtze River. The view here is vast and has always been a good place to watch the sunrise. Lu You, a poet of the Song Dynasty, praised it after climbing to the tower to watch the sunrise: "The water and the sky are all red, it's a truly majestic sight."

Biefeng Nunnery (Banqiao Reading Center)? Baishou Pavilion

Everyone, follow me from Suijiang Tower to the west, and we come to the Bieling Ridge in the shadow of the twin peaks of Jiaoshan Mountain. In this mountain surrounded by green bamboos, there is a unique square courtyard called "Biefeng An".

Biefeng means that the ridge is different from the east peak and west peak on the top of Jiaoshan Mountain. Zheng Banqiao, a calligrapher, painter and poet in the Qing Dynasty, once studied here, and Bie Feng An was chosen because of its reputation. In 1984, the contemporary art master Liu Haisu inscribed the words "Banqiao Bookstore", which is now placed on the left round door of the nunnery. Biefeng Nunnery was first built in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1578). Master Foyin, an eminent monk in the Song Dynasty, wrote: Who is the guide to find a place in the supreme heaven? Looking back to see knowledge, it was originally in the poem of Bie Feng An.

In the lonely temple in the mountains, in the inaccessible Biefeng Nunnery, there are three simple and elegant small rooms on the north side. There is a flower bed in the patio, two osmanthus plants, and several bamboo poles, which are elegant and quiet. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Banqiao, a famous painter who was known as the three masters of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, studied here. There is a study room, living room, and bedroom inside, furnished with bamboo furniture. There is a banner saying "Zheng Banqiao's Reading Office" on the door. On the back of the door, there are wood carvings of couplets written by Zheng Banqiao in his handwriting. Facing this situation and remembering the old friends in the bookstore, people can't help but feel the emotion of right and wrong.

Coming out of Biefeng Temple and walking west, there is a square pavilion made of bricks. There is a wall around it. A row of ancient longevity patterns is inlaid with tiles between the wall head and the eaves of the pavilion. On the south wall, There are four vertical stones in the middle of the inner wall, engraved with 100 different Shouning characters in seal script. The changes are clever, so it is called "Baishou Pavilion". It is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, a philanthropist named Fan was visiting Jiaoshan Mountain and found that the mountain trail from the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain to Biefengguan was very rugged and difficult to walk, so he donated money to build a granite mountain road directly to Biefengguan. In order to thank this kind person, the nunnery owner built this pavilion in the middle of the mountain road to bless the kind person. This is the origin of "Baishouting".

Sanzhao Cave? Spectacular Pavilion? Cliff Carvings

Going south from Baishou Pavilion, we came to Sanzhao Cave. Sanzhao Cave is also known as "Jiao Gong Temple". According to legend, Jiao Guang abandoned his official position and went into chaos and lived here in seclusion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Jiao Guang is highly academic and proficient in medicine. He lives in poverty, has simple food and clothing, earns a living by collecting firewood, and usually treats fishermen around him. At that time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie issued three edicts asking Jiao Guang to serve as an official. He did not want to join the corrupt court and refused the edicts three times. He was known as "Three edicts can't afford". The first time he was punished because his wife was ill. The second time he went out for a long trip and he avoided it; the third time he refused on the excuse of old age and illness. In order to commemorate this hermit, later generations called this cave "Sanzhao Cave" and changed it to "Qiaoshan" and "Jiaoshan". In the 24th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Jiao Erchang, a descendant of Jiao Guang, renovated the cave. There is a statue of Jiao Gong in the cave. Jiao Guang is dressed in hermit clothes and straw sandals. He holds a book in his right hand and sits upright with a generous manner.

We walked tens of meters southeast from Sanzhao Cave. The hexagonal pavilion halfway up the mountain is the "Spectacular Pavilion" built in the Ming Dynasty, also known as "Jianbai Pavilion". The name of the pavilion comes from Li Bai's poem about climbing high and spectacularly asking questions about heaven and earth. You can overlook the Yangtze River from the pavilion. There are three couplets engraved on the pavilion pillars: "A glance at the river and the sky makes my heart happy and clear"; In this river, the Queen Mother came to look for the five-color dragon? Zhao Pu first went to the pavilion to observe the scenery and wrote a poem: "The word spectacular should be lived up to, the first country and the first floor".

Everyone looks at the ancient cypresses from the Six Dynasties beside the pavilion. They are green and lush, like a dragon holding its head high, standing tall against the sky and the ground, forming a scene of its own.

Please follow me as I continue to go down the mountain to the south. We can see the steep cliffs covered with poems and inscriptions by more than 200 famous people in the past. These are the famous Jiaoshan cliff carvings. The ages of these stone carvings include the Six Dynasties, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and even modern times. The fonts include Zheng, Cao, Li, Zhuan, etc. The content is rich and colorful, just like a calligraphy exhibition of past dynasties. For this reason, Jiaoshan also has a calligraphy The reputation of the mountain.

Among the many stone carvings, the most precious one is the original stone carving of the title of "The Crane Inscription" that Lu You and tourists walked through the snow to search for. The words are magnificent and the calligraphy is vigorous. It is now listed as a provincial-level protected cultural relic. On a nearby stone wall, there is also a famous stone inscription left by Mi Fu, a great painter of the Northern Song Dynasty, who watched "The Crane Inscription". There is a modern stone carving near the river in the northwest, which is engraved with a five-character poem: "For the sake of abolishing the unevenness, the whole country is full of cries." Come here to take a breather and travel around the world. ?This was left by the Chinese Lawyers Association when they passed by Jiaoshan in 1920 when they were running around to abolish the unequal treaties between the imperialist powers.

Huayan Pavilion

We followed the cliff carvings to the east, and we saw a two-story waterfront building located on the southwest side of Jiaoshan Mountain facing the river and leaning on the cliff. This is "Huayan Pavilion".

Huayan Pavilion is named after the Buddhist "Huayan Sutra". Please follow me upstairs. We saw a couplet hanging in the middle of the hall on the second floor, "A Piece of Floating Jade, Very View of the River." This highlights the beauty of climbing up the stairs to view the scenery. Huayan Pavilion is a good place to enjoy the moon. The most poetic "Huayan Moonlight" and Jinshan's "Miaogao Moon Viewing" are both called scenic spots. Zhao Puchu wrote the plaque "Endless Tibetan" here. The three words "Endless Tibetan" come from the Zen sayings of Su Dongpo who practiced Zen with the Buddhist monk Foyin at Jinshan: "The breeze on the river, the bright moon at the mountain gate, the creation is endless." ?3 characters imply a pun, which is thought-provoking.

When we go downstairs, we can see the four large characters "龙飞飞风五" embedded in the flower wall to the north of the door. This is the handwriting of Xu Chuanlong, the governor of Liangjiang in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that every May during the Dragon Boat Festival, in order to pay homage to the patriotic poet Qu Yuan, Zhenjiang people raced dragon boats here. The word "dragons flying and phoenixes dancing" describes this lively scene at that time.

There is a small cave on the east side of Huayan Pavilion, known as "Anyin Rock". The stone wall at the entrance of the cave is embedded with a stone portrait of Su Dongpo and a poem praising the sixteen sceneries of Jiaoshan Mountain.
