One of the eight scenic spots in Zhuozhou

-Tonghui lamps market

Correct the scene of the Lantern Festival on the 15th of June. In the original city, there was Jiacheng, whose door was named "Tonghui", and there were three buildings on Jiacheng, named "Tonghui Building". Commonly known as the Drum Tower. Upstairs, the left drum and the right clock are four feet high. It's 20 miles away. On the 15th day of the first month of each year, there are 72 wooden archways from Tonghui Building to the south gate, and there are 7 light sheds at the crossroads. On this day, all the streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns, playing with dragons, lions, walking on stilts and setting off firecrackers. It's true that the wahoo blossoms, the planet breaks, and thousands of families light candles all night. On the night of Lantern Festival, I boarded the Drum Tower and overlooked the long street, flying at the same time, which was quite spectacular. This scene is called the "market light market". There is a poem to prove it: "At the beginning of the spring breeze, the orchestras in the city that never sleeps are boiling, and the lights in front of the Drum Tower are brilliant."

Zhuozhou Lantern Festival began in Han Dynasty, flourished in Tang Dynasty and Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is a traditional folk cultural activity with a long history. The ancient Ceng Yun "has Yangzhou in the south and Zhuozhou in the north", and compared the lanterns in Zhuozhou with those in Yangzhou, which is famous all over the world. Nowadays, Zhuozhou Lantern Festival, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has been renamed as "Zhuozhou Lantern Festival in China", attracting hundreds of thousands of Chinese and foreign businessmen and tourists from Beijing, Tianjin and at home and abroad to see the elegant demeanor of the "Millennium Lantern Festival", and people feel a strong Chinese New Year atmosphere at the prosperous Lantern Festival.

-"Fair and Light Market" once attracted emperors and princes.

Since ancient times, it has been popular in many places in China to hang lanterns around the Lantern Festival to celebrate the Spring Festival. In Zhuozhou, the Lantern Festival is also known as the "Tonghui Lantern Festival" and is known as the first of the eight scenic spots in ancient Zhuozhou. The so-called "Tonghui" refers to Tonghui Building, which is the scientific name of Zhuozhou Bell and Drum Tower. This building is located at two-thirds of the north-south central axis of the city, with the highest terrain. In the old days, it was the tallest building except the twin towers, so it was the commanding height of the city. Historically, this is the most prosperous place. The Lantern Festival takes this as the center, extending along the north-south street and radiating to the east-west lane.

Once upon a time, during the Lantern Festival, the Tonghui Building in Zhuozhou was decorated with colorful lights. The streets and alleys in the south and north of the building are crowded with singing and dancing floral actors and crowded people watching the lights. At night, the bright moon hangs high, fireworks rise, and thousands of families burn candles all night. It's too noisy.

The old people in Zhuozhou are still full of memories of Tonghui Festival. At that time, there were light sheds at the intersection of North and South Street of Drum Tower, with ever-changing and strange lanterns hanging in the shed, such as movable lanterns, circular chasing lanterns, gossip and nine lotus lanterns made of glass, and so on. Adults with children head high, try to solve riddles on the lanterns. If they are right, they will get a small prize immediately, and the children who get the prize will jump and jump with joy. ...

According to legend, the Lantern Festival in the market also attracted the attention of dignitaries in Beijing and came to watch it one after another. Legend has it that the Qing Prince Xianfeng watched lanterns in Zhuozhou during his years. He broke an arch lamp because of the crowded crowd. As a result, he compensated three arched lights in Zhuozhou, all of which were four columns and three floors with yellow tiles, so they were called "Golden Pagoda".

What makes Zhuozhou people most proud is that Emperor Qianlong not only went to Zhuozhou to see lanterns, but also wrote poems.

Later, Tonghui Building was destroyed in the Cultural Revolution, but the traditional Tonghui Lantern Market was still preserved. On the Lantern Festival every year, people hang a string of red "pumpkin lanterns" on the Gulou Street in front of the original Tonghui Building, and hang a half-moon lantern above the narrow street. Children hold candied haws in one hand and adults in the other. When they see beautiful lanterns, they cheer happily from time to time.

-The legend of "Yangzhou in the south and Zhuozhou in the north"

Liu Guiyu, director of Zhuozhou Institute of History and Culture, told reporters about the legend of "Yangzhou in the south and Zhuozhou in the north".

It is said that the Lantern Festival started in the Western Han Dynasty, and the palace lanterns in the Tang Dynasty will be more lively. According to historical records, the lantern production at that time formed the atmosphere of comparing with each other. Lantern artisans and artists strive to show their miracles, and the patterns are more and more fresh and exquisite, thus forming an unprecedented national Lantern Festival. According to legend, Yangzhou Lantern Festival was ahead of the whole country at that time, which was the best in the world, which led Emperor Xuanzong to go to Yangzhou to enjoy the lanterns incognito. In order to maintain the reputation of local lanterns, Yangzhou lantern manufacturers keep their production technology secret. Who knows, among the local craftsmen, there is a Zhuozhou person named Wang Xing. In order to compete with Yangzhou, Zhuozhou spared no expense to recall Wang Xing. In this way, Zhuozhou Lantern Festival shines brilliantly, keeping pace with Yangzhou Lantern Festival and becoming famous all over the world. Therefore, when people praised the prosperity of folk lanterns, there was a saying that there was Yangzhou in the south and Zhuozhou in the north.

65438-0992 Yangzhou Lantern Festival came to China Film and Television City built by Zhuozhou and successfully held a Lantern Festival. After thousands of years of competition, the two giants in the history of lamps have finally come together.

-traditional custom, every household hangs lanterns.

Under the influence of thousands of years of lantern culture, people in Zhuozhou also have the custom of hanging lanterns.

Decades ago, Zhuozhou lanterns were not only seen in the "market lantern market". In the Spring Festival, homemade lanterns are hung in front of almost every household. An old lantern artist in Zhuozhou, who was nearly sixty years old, recalled that during the slack season, people could bend straw, bamboo skin and other materials everywhere, and then paste red wax paper to make festive "pumpkin lanterns". Skillful people will also draw plum blossom, peony and other patterns on lanterns to make their lanterns unique, and some will also make lanterns with more advanced materials such as glass.

In the first month, shops on both sides of the street will also hang all kinds of fancy lanterns. For example, the big birthday peach lamp in the pastry shop, the "shoe lamp" and "hat lamp" in the shoe and hat shop, the goat headlight in the mutton shop, the pipe lamp in the cigarette shop and the "Wusong tiger lamp" in the hotel can be described as varied and ingenious. Nowadays, these homemade lanterns are no longer visible. People who live in the building hang the miniature red lanterns they bought in their rooms to continue their love for lanterns.

The second of the eight scenic spots in Zhuozhou

-Petronas Towers and clear smoke

Refers to the twin towers standing in the northeast of the city. The Twin Towers were built in Liao Dynasty, and the completion of these two towers has a touching legend among the people. It is said that two aunts with good skills were built overnight. In fact, they are the product of Buddhist culture. The so-called "two towers clear smoke" means that on a sunny day, from a distance, the two towers are like wisps of smoke curling up in the blue sky. Secondly, on a clear day, you can see a few wisps of smoke around the top of the Twin Towers. There is a poem saying: "The monument is dedicated to the Jin and Liao Dynasties, and the twin towers once forced the sky, and the Buddha's fire was silent, and the fine smoke drifted."

The fourth of the eight scenic spots in Zhuozhou

-Hu Liang Xiao Yue

There is a stone bridge across the Shili Hu Liang River in the north of the city. Pedestrians traveling from south to north will inevitably stop to enjoy the scenery here. Especially near dawn, when the rooster crows, the sky is dim. In the morning light, the quiet river flows, and a waning moon is reflected in the water. The scenery is mixed and fascinating. Therefore, he said, "Work at dawn, and then go to Hu Liang. The waning moon is as light as water The bell scratched the dawn and the fire lit up the fishing village. When the morning chicken rings, the morning sun rises faintly. "

It is also the hometown of Shao Kangjie, the master of Yi Studies. "Shaocun Flower Field" refers to the farmland scenery in this area. Every time the rice field is transplanted, the square field is covered with new clothes and decorated with lotus flowers, which is in harmony with the distant mountains and green hills. It really brings people into the poetic realm of "the mountains are full of green water to support the blue, the rice is divided into seedlings, and ten thousand lotus willows must live in the south of the Yangtze River".

Good years, lots of crops, and a hundred rooms full of songs. Where can I find strong people? The west wind blows small water.

Dozens of neighbors in Fiona Fang, supporting the elderly and bringing the young, came here one after another to catch the temple fair, and various businesses rushed to open their doors. Small vendors and Jianghu artists swarmed in. The poems of the former sages, such as "My father and the old man travel with wine, and sure enough, the spring club wins the autumn", are the portrayal of that year.

Eight of the Eight Scenes in Zhuozhou

-Snow on Pampo

Panpo, also known as Sanpo, is an "enclave" in Zhuozhou, 200 miles away from downtown Zhuozhou. Predecessors once chanted that "the clouds meet the horizon, the snow still piles up six flowers, the world of mortals can't fly, and there are people deep in Yushan". Panpo is now Yesanpo, which belongs to Laishui County.

In addition, due to the long history of Zhuozhou, many major changes have taken place in the organizational system and territory over the years, so there are many different classifications of the eight scenic spots in Zhuozhou. Let me give you an example:

Ancient Eight Scenery in Zhuozhou

In the center of the city is a palace scene, with drums on the left and bells on the right. There are interrogations during the day and attacks at night.

Lousangchun Mulou, fifteen miles southwest of Sangcheng, is the hometown of Han Zhaolie. The temple looks magnificent and the situation is bleak. There are many famous inscriptions on it. This temple has the dignity of a crown. Only spring is beautiful, the vegetation is green, the tall mulberry trees are covered with children's feathers, and Cooper is gloomy and loyal. With the sound of birds singing and clouds flying swords, the spirit of one side is covered up, and the clock is over.

Moon Pool Autumn Wind Moon Pool is twenty miles south of the city, with dozens of sources. Flowing into a stream, a bay into a pool, bending into a snake, twists and turns, the cave is clear and jade is scattered, the autumn is crisp, the lotus is in full bloom, and the gull smells ten miles.

Xiaoyue Lake Beam in Hu Liang is located at the north of the city 10 mile, and there is a poplar bank and a reed between the two banks. If Xiao Yue gets up first, it is also a good thing to catch a boat, sing a song, be a woodcutter, and wander around the pond and the bamboo.
