Southern Song Dynasty

The ten scenic spots in the Southern Song Dynasty were basically close to the West Lake or in the lake. According to records in Zhu Mu's "Fangyu Shenglan" and Wu Zimu's "Mengliang Lu" of the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, the ten scenic spots of West Lake were the autumn moon over the flat lake, the spring dawn on the Su Di, the remaining snow on the broken bridge, the falling thunder peak, the evening bell at Nanping, the wind lotuses in Quyuan, watching the fish in Huagang, smelling the orioles in the willow waves, the moon reflected in the three pools, and the two peaks in the clouds.

In the thirty-eighth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1699), Emperor Kangxi visited Hangzhou on a tour to the south. After visiting ten scenic spots, he changed "Two Peaks to Clouds" to "Two Peaks to Clouds" and "Leifeng Luozhao" (or "Leifeng Luozhao"). ) was changed to "Leifeng Xizhao" and "Nanping Evening Bell" was changed to "Nanping Dawn Bell". After Kangxi inscribed the ten sceneries, local officials in Zhejiang successively carved the names of the sceneries, engraved stones, erected monuments, and built pavilions to protect them. Here, the ten scenic spots of the West Lake were changed from being recorded in books to signs of the scenic spots where the ten scenic spots are located.

Yongzheng period

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Li Wei, the governor of Zhejiang Province, dredged the West Lake. The ten sceneries of the West Lake were transformed into the "Eighteen Scenes of the West Lake".

During the Qianlong period

During the Qianlong period, when Qianlong visited Hangzhou in the south, he composed a poem for each of the ten consecutive scenes and carved them on the shadow side of the scenic stele. This made the ten sceneries of the West Lake The name became widely known. Therefore, the ten scenes of West Lake are recognized as representatives of the West Lake landscape.

1. The ten old sights of West Lake: spring dawn on the Su Causeway, lotuses in the wind, autumn moon on the flat lake, residual snow on the broken bridge, singing orioles in the willows, watching fish in Huagang, sunset on Leifeng, clouds on the twin peaks, and evening at Nanping The bell and the three pools reflect the moon. The Ten Scenes of West Lake were formed during the Tang and Song Dynasties and are basically distributed around the West Lake, with some located on the lake. During Kangxi's tour to the south in the Qing Dynasty, he wrote the "Ten Scenes of the West Lake" in his own handwriting, and the Ten Scenes of the West Lake began to become truly famous all over the world. These ten sceneries are the most distinctive and the most profound. The rich historical heritage has contributed to the everlasting prosperity of the ten sceneries. Regarding these ten sceneries, they are actually more of a kind of artistic beauty, and they are quite seasonal, and ordinary people cannot see them at all. For example, the Spring Dawn on Su Di is a self-explanatory scene of spring, the autumn moon on the flat lake, and the scene of an autumn night; the broken bridge with remaining snow is a scene of winter, and there are very few chances of snow in Hangzhou now; the Nanping Evening Bell highlights a "late" The word; Leifeng is shining at sunset, highlighting the word "Xi". . . Wait, even though I have been in Hangzhou for almost ten years, I have never seen all these ten sceneries. And because of the artistic conception and historical background, sometimes I don’t feel it even after seeing it. For example, there is such a thing as the Broken Bridge and the Remaining Snow. It is said that the continuous broken bridge and the remaining snow are completely a kind of artistic appreciation, and this scene is very famous, which is entirely due to the mythical story of the meeting of the White Snake and Xu Xian on the broken bridge.

2.

Yunqi Bamboo Path, Manlong Osmanthus Rain, Tiger Running Mengquan, Longjing Tea Asking, Jiuxi Smoke Tree, Wushan Tianfeng, Ruandun Huanbi, Huanglong Spitting Green, Jade Emperor Flying Clouds, and Gemstone Flowing Clouds. Among these ten scenes, there is almost nothing to talk about in terms of cultural heritage, except for the tiger running in the dream spring, the dragon well asking for tea, and the yellow dragon spitting green. The most embarrassing scene is the "Ruandun Huanbi" scene, which is a long story. Say no more.

3. Ten New Scenic Spots of West Lake: The Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area Management Committee launched the "Ten New Scenic Spots of West Lake" selection activity in 2007. The final result: Lingyin Zen Trace, Liuhe Listening to the Waves, Yue Tomb Qixia, Lakeside Sunny Rain, Qian Temple Expressing Loyalty, Wansong Academy, Yangdi Jingxing, Santai Yunshui, Meiwu Spring Morning, Beijie Mengxun. Among these ten scenes, Lingyin Zen Trace, Yue Tomb Qixia, North Street Mengxun, Lakeside Sunny Rain, Liuhe Tingtao are quite distinctive, with one character for Zen, one for Qi, one for Xun, one for Qing, and another Listening to the words, you can also see that it is more about the beautiful artistic conception and beautiful scenery, which is related to the state of mind.

What are the ten scenic spots in West Lake in Hangzhou?

"Ten Scenes of the West Lake" refers to the ten distinctive scenery on the West Lake, a famous tourist attraction in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

After the Southern Song Dynasty, there were the Ten Scenes of Qiantang in the Yuan Dynasty, the Eighteen Scenes of the West Lake in the Qing Dynasty, the Twenty-four Scenes of Hangzhou during the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty, the Ten Scenes of the New West Lake in 1985, and the Ten Scenes of the West Lake in the 9th China Hangzhou West Lake Expo in 2007. 1. Spring Dawn at Su Causeway Su Causeway starts from the foothills of Nanping Mountain in the south and ends at the foot of Qixia Ridge in the north, with a total length of nearly three kilometers. It was used by the great poet Su Dongpo of the Northern Song Dynasty to dredge the West Lake when he was the governor of Hangzhou. Made of mud. In order to commemorate Su Dongpo's achievements in managing the West Lake, later generations named him Su Di. The long embankment lies on the waves, connecting the southern and northern mountains, adding a charming scenery to the West Lake. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the spring dawn on Su Di was listed as the first of the ten scenic spots in West Lake. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was also called "Six Bridges of Smoked Willows" and included in the ten scenic spots in Qiantang, which shows that it has been deeply loved by people since ancient times. Once the cold winter is over, Sudi is like a belated messenger of spring. The willows are on the bank, the peaches are scorching, and the lake waves are like mirrors, reflecting the beautiful shadows with infinite tenderness. The most touching thing is that when the morning light first appears and the moon sets over the western mountains, the gentle breeze blows slowly, and the willow silk curls flutter in the air, and you are ecstatic when you are on the embankment. The Su Causeway extends with six undulating bridges, providing visitors with a leisurely stroll and varied sightseeing route. Walking on the embankments and bridges, the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains unfolds like a picture, and thousands of customs are available for anyone to appreciate. The six arch bridges on Su Causeway are named Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Yadi, Dongpu and Kuahong from south to north. What you see at the end of the bridge is different: Yingbo Bridge is adjacent to Huagang Park, with weeping poplars across the rain and swaying smoke; Suolan Bridge looks at Xiaoyingzhou from up close, and Baoshu Pagoda from far away, which is close to reality and far away. Looking to the west from the Wangshan Bridge, Dingjiashan Mountain is lush and green, and the twin peaks towering into the clouds come into view; the Embankment Bridge is located at the golden section between the north and south of Su Di. In the old days, it was the waterway passage for lake boats going east to west. The "Spring Dawn at Su Causeway" monument pavilion is located in the south of the bridge; Dongpu Bridge has reason to suspect that it is a rumor of "Shupu Bridge". This is one of the best spots to watch the sunrise on the lake; cross the Hong Bridge to see the rainbow flying in the sky after the rain, and the lake and mountains are bathed in it. Hui, like entering a fairyland. 2. Lotus in the Breeze at Crooked Courtyard Lotus in the Breeze at Crooked Courtyard, with the theme of viewing lotus in summer, is ranked second among the ten scenic spots in the West Lake following the spring dawn on the Su Causeway. "It was originally a brewing workshop opened by the court of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was located near the Hongchun Bridge on Lingyin Road today, close to the shore of the West Lake at that time. Lotus flowers were cultivated on the lake near the shore. Every summer, when the gentle breeze came, the fragrance of lotus and wine floated everywhere, which was unsettling. Drinking makes you drunk. Wang Wei, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, praised in his poem: "People who escape the summer return to the cold spring, and the clouds at the port are bright and cool in the evening. The fragrance of the Love Canal follows people far away, and you can only buy a boat after crossing the high bridge. "Houquyuan gradually declined and was abandoned. After Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty inscribed the ten scenes of the West Lake, he built the Quyuan Fenghe Scenery Stele Pavilion beside the Su Di across the Hongqiao Bridge. What is left is just a small courtyard in front of the courtyard. There are only one small lotus on the lake. The most eye-catching thing about Quyuan Fenghe is the lotus viewing. There are hundreds of varieties of lotus planted in the lotus ponds in the park. Among them, the Fenghe Scenic Area is particularly charming. Mainly on the water surface, there are red lotus, white lotus, Chongtai lotus, golden lotus, Bingdi lotus and other famous lotus species.

People cross the bridge, such as Walking in the lotus, people lean on the flowers, the flowers reflect their faces, and the flowers and the people fall in love. 3. Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake (Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake) The Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake is located at the west end of Baidi, south of Gushan. In fact, as one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, the Autumn Moon on Pinghu Lake did not have a fixed location during the Southern Song Dynasty. From that time, as well as in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, most of the poems about this scene were written by Fangui Zhouye Lake, Zhouzhou. It is not difficult to see the expression from the perspective of appreciating the moon. For example, in Sun Rui's poem of the Southern Song Dynasty, there is a sentence: "The moon is cold and the cold springs are not flowing, so where can I go boating?"; Hong Zhanzu of the Ming Dynasty wrote in a poem: "Autumn people climb the waves and wrinkle. , the dust in the mirror of the fairy mountain pavilion. "Among the woodcut prints of ten scenes of the West Lake during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty that have been passed down through the ages, the picture "Autumn Moon over the Flat Lake" still features tourists looking up at the moon in lake boats as the main subject of the picture. The Hutian Yibi Tower, located in the west of the scenic spot, was originally The relics in the private villa "Luoyuan" of the wealthy Jewish businessman and "adventurer" Hartung at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China later became... >>

Ten Scenes of West Lake in Hangzhou

One of the Ten Scenes: Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow

Broken Bridge is located at the east end of Baidi. Among the many large and small bridges in West Lake, it is the most beautiful one. It is said that the Broken Bridge was built as early as the Tang Dynasty, and the word "Broken Bridge" was included in the poem "Inscribed on Gushan Temple in Hangzhou" by the Ming Dynasty poet Wang Keyu. There is a wonderful saying about the scenic beauty of the West Lake: "The beauty of the West Lake is that the clear lake is not as good as the rainy lake, the rainy lake is not as good as the moon lake, and the moon lake is not as good as the snow lake... How many people in the world can truly appreciate the beauty of mountains and rivers? ! "Hangzhou, located in the south of the Yangtze River, has a short snow season every year, and heavy snow days are even rarer. Once covered with silver makeup, it will create a snowy lake scene that is completely different from the usual scenery.

End There are several explanations for the remaining snow on the bridge. The more common saying is that whenever it clears up after the snow, you can go to the broken bridge and look west and north. You will see that the towers in the Gushan and Geling areas are like paved with jade, crystal clear and clear. , there is a kind of cold beauty.

Some people think that when the snow falls, you can climb Baoshi Mountain and look down to the south. The white embankment is as white as a chain, and the sunrise reflects the broken bridge, and the snow on the bridge melts, revealing the brown color. There is a mark on the bridge, as if the long white chain has been interrupted, so it is named "Remnant Snow".

Today’s broken bridge is an arched single-hole ring-hole stone bridge rebuilt in 1921. It is 8.8 meters long, 8.6 meters wide, and has a single-hole clear span of 6.1 meters. It was heavily renovated before, but its simple and elegant style has basically remained unchanged. To the east of the bridge, there is a pavilion with a scenic stele inscribed by Emperor Kangxi. On the side of the pavilion is a water pavilion with the inscription "In the light of clouds and water". Green tiles and red railings, cornices and corners, together with the bridge and pavilion, form a classical style painting in the northeast corner of West Lake.

Ten Scenes No. 2: Autumn Moon over Pinghu Lake

In the Qing Dynasty, the Royal Book Building was built on the former site of the pavilion, with a fenced platform in front of the building. Whenever the autumn air is crisp. The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror, and the bright autumn moon is in the sky. The moonlight and the lake water complement each other, and it feels like "one color of lake light and thousands of acres of autumn", so a monument was erected by the lake with the title "Autumn Moon on Pinghu". In 1959, the original landscape of more than 360 square meters was expanded to 1,600 square meters. The wall of Hartung Garden was demolished, and the octagonal pavilion, "Looking at the Lake and Sky in Detailed Blue" building and the four-sided hall were expanded and renovated, presenting a novel and unique garden landscape. Among the lake rocks and rockeries, red maples, pomegranates, osmanthus, crape myrtle and other flowers and trees are planted to cover the pavilions, buildings, halls and pavilions, which is very poetic and picturesque. The poem "Autumn Moon over Pinghu" written by Wang Wei of the Song Dynasty goes: "Ten thousand hectares of cold light spread out overnight, there is no cloud wherever the water wheel moves, the eagle peaks are far away in the cold west wind, and the cinnamon trees are lighting the jade pot one after another."

The third of the ten sceneries. : Orioles in the Willows

It is located on the southeast coast of West Lake, at Qingbo Gate. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was the royal garden of the emperors and was called Jujing Garden. In the Yuan Dynasty, Alao Ding, a wealthy businessman of the Communist Party of China, built the *** Temple in Hangzhou and was buried here after his death. It is commonly known as the *** Tomb. In the Qing Dynasty, the old scene of "Weeping Orioles in the Waves in the Willows" was restored. Each willow shape has its own characteristics: the willow silk flutters like a drunken imperial concubine, which is called "drunk willow"; the branches and leaves are as lush as a lion's head, called "lion willow"; from a distance, it looks like a girl's veil, called "huansha willow", etc. It has the name of Liuzhou. During this period, orioles were flying and crowing one after another, so it was known as "Wearing Orioles in the Willow Waves". After liberation, a corner of the land was built into a large park covering an area of ??17 hectares. The whole park is divided into four scenic areas: Youyi, Wenying, Jujing and Nanyuan. The garden layout is cheerful, fresh, elegant and simple. The willow bushes set off the famous flowers such as purple nan, cedar, magnolia grandiflora, peach, crab apple, rose and other exotic trees. It is a good place to enjoy the scenery with clouds and mountains on three sides and water on one side, which is refreshing and refreshing. The "China and Japan No Longer War" monument stands on the east lawn of the garden and is planted with Japanese cherry blossoms, which has become a symbol of the friendship between the Chinese and Japanese peoples.

Ten Scenes No. 4: Twin Peaks in the Clouds

The twin peaks are the South Peak and the North Peak. They are located in the southwest and northwest of West Lake respectively. Its "Twin Peaks Towering into the Clouds" Royal Stele Pavilion scenic spot is located by the Hongchun Bridge. The south peak is 256.9 meters above sea level, and the north peak is 355 meters above sea level. The two peaks face each other at a distance, stretching more than ten miles apart. When the mountains are covered with clouds and mist, the two peaks sometimes reveal their double tips, just like peaks reaching into the sky, hence the name "Two Peaks Reaching into the Clouds". Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty changed the name to "Shuangfeng Chaoyun" after watching his detailed tour here. The natural scenery is extremely beautiful, with tall and majestic peaks. It can be sunny or rainy in the morning or dusk, especially after rain or in cloudy weather. Colorful clouds and white clouds may be thick or light, sometimes entangled and sometimes covered, and the clouds and mountains are hazy. Like a spectacular landscape painting with vivid ink and different shades, it unfolds in front of you. "Xihu Zhi" describes: "Every good day in spring and autumn, when you lean on the railing and look around, it looks like the two gates of heaven, supported on the ground, with auspicious clouds blowing in the wind, the sunlight reflecting in the distance, and you can often see the five colors." It is fascinating.

Ten Scenes No. 5: Spring Dawn on Su Causeway

Located on the west side of West Lake. When the poet Su Dongpo of the Northern Song Dynasty was appointed as the governor of Hangzhou, he mobilized migrant workers to dredge the West Lake, remove weeds, dig out silt, and spend 200,000 yuan on chemical engineering to build a long embankment across the lake from Nanshan to Beishan, known as Su Causeway.

Introduction to the Ten Scenes of West Lake

Introduction "Ten Scenes of West Lake" refers to the ten features of West Lake, a famous tourist attraction in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and its surroundings landscape. The "Ten Scenes of the West Lake" have been defined (or evaluated) three times. The current "Ten Scenes of the West Lake" generally refer to the 2007 Three Comments on the Ten Scenes of the West Lake: Lingyin Zen Zong Liuhe Tingtao Yue Tomb Qixia Lakeside Qingyu Qian Temple Biao Zhongwan Song Shu Yuan Yang Di Jingxing Santai Yunshui Meiwu Spring Morning North Street Dream Search.

A detailed introduction to Lingyin Zen Trail

Lingyin Scenic Area includes Lingyin Temple and Feilai Peak. Lingyin Temple was built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 326). It is the earliest trace of a Zen temple in Hangzhou. The name of the temple comes from what the founder, the Indian monk Huili, said: "While the Buddha was alive, most of them were hidden by immortals." According to legend, the Indian monk Huili came to Hangzhou more than 1,600 years ago. When he saw the beautiful mountains here, he thought it was "a place where fairies hide", so he built a temple here and named it Lingyin.

Feilai Peak, also known as Lingjiu Peak, is 168 meters high. The mountain is made of limestone and is very different from the surrounding mountains. Indian monk Huili said: "This is the small ridge of Lingjiu Mountain in Central India. I don’t know why it came here?” Hence it is called “Feilai Peak”. There are a total of 345 cliff statues carved in the caves and cliffs along the stream from the Five Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties. Among them, the Tibetan Buddhist (Lamaism) statues from the Yuan Dynasty are the most precious and can be called the masterpieces of stone kiln sculpture art in my country. Treasure.

Since there are famous mountains such as Shangtianzhu and Lotus Peak around Lingyin, the Buddha’s sound is solemn and the Zen spirit is hidden. Therefore, the Zen trace is the realm of Lingyin landscape, so it is named "Lingyin Zen trace".

Liuhe Listening to the Waves

Liuhe Pagoda is located in the south of West Lake, on Yuelun Mountain by the Qiantang River.

In the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 970), Hangzhou was the capital of the Wuyue Kingdom at that time. In order to control the tide of the Qiantang River, the King of Wuyue sent the monk Zhiyuan Zen Master to build the Liuhe Pagoda. The current Liuhe Pagoda was rebuilt in the Southern Song Dynasty. Taking the meaning of "Six Harmonies" in Buddhism, it was named Liuhe Pagoda. Liuhe Pagoda is also called Liuhe Pagoda, which means "the four directions of heaven and earth".

The Liuhe Pagoda was originally built with nine levels, and lights were installed on the top to guide river ships. In the fifth year of Xuanhe's reign, the pagoda was burned down. It was rebuilt during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the second year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty, the top floor and pagoda temple were repaired. In the twenty-fifth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1899), the outer wooden structure of the pagoda was rebuilt. Emperor Qianlong visited here and set up plaques for each floor, which is rare. The existing Liuhe Pagoda is octagonal in plan, with eight sides and thirteen floors on the outside and seven levels on the inside. It is 59.88 meters high and covers an area of ??888 square meters. The eaves of the tower gradually shrink from bottom to top, and 104 iron bells are hung on the corners of the eaves. "The sound of a hundred thousand troops roars in the middle of the night". On the Liuhe Pagoda where "peaks can be seen", listening to the waves requires more concentration than watching the tide. It is easier to inspire reverie, understand the mind, and appreciate thousands of images. Hence the name "Liuhe Tingtao".

Yue Tomb Qixia

The Yuewang Temple was built in memory of the national hero Yue Fei. It was first built in the 14th year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1221). It was renamed "Zhonglie Temple" during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty. It has experienced the rise and fall of the Yuan, Ming, Qing and the Republic of China, and has been passed down from generation to generation until now. The existing building was rebuilt in the 54th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1715). It was overhauled in 1918 and comprehensively renovated in 1979, making the Yue Temple more solemn and solemn.

Yuewang Temple is located at the southern foot of Qixia Ridge in Hangzhou City. Every year in autumn, the red maples on Qixia Ridge are like fire and look like clouds. The "Qixia" in the name of "Yue Tomb Qixia" not only borrows the place name of Qixialing where Yue Tomb is located, but also refers to Yue Fei's red-blooded heart and loyalty to serve the country. It also imitates the "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds Road" described in "Man Jiang Hong" and the artistic conception of the moon. The grass from Lili Tomb reflects the clouds of Qixi. This scene adds a sense of historical vicissitudes to the West Lake.

Lakeside Sunny

In 2003, the West Lake Comprehensive Protection Project launched the construction of a new lakeside scenic area, ranging from the broken bridge on Beishan Street to a park along the lake.

The old buildings preserved in the lakeside area are mainly residential buildings, hotels, shops, small villas and other types after the Republic of China. During the renovation, the style of this area has been maintained to a certain extent and given new connotations. Architectural elements such as small courtyards, alleys, small patios, gray sloped roofs, arcades, gray brick walls, cornices, shiku doors, wooden doors and windows will appear in every corner of the new lakeside. What is particularly worth mentioning is the architectural form of the arcade. During the renovation, special emphasis was placed on "deja vu".

Since the lakeside is located at the border between the West Lake and the city, with clouds and mountains on three sides and a lake on the other, it is also a good place to appreciate the clouds, rain and fog. Especially in the rainy season, when you walk along the lakeside, you will see mist and rain, and the water and sky are the same color. There is a famous proverb in Hangzhou: "A clear lake is not as good as a rainy lake, a rainy lake is not as good as a moon lake, and a moon lake is not as good as a snow lake." For a long time, from the "Ten Scenes of the West Lake" in the Southern Song Dynasty to the "Ten Scenes of the New West Lake" in 1985, the We arrived at Qinghu Lake, Moon Lake and Snow Lake, but we didn’t mention Rainy Lake. The name "Lakeside Sunny Rain" is not only a reproduction of Su Dongpo's famous saying "The clear sky is beautiful when the water is shining, but the mountains are also strange when they are empty and rainy", and it is also a reflection of the beautiful scenery of West Lake in the four seasons... >>< /p>
