What are the eight scenic spots in Changsha?

There are scenic spots named after "Eight Scenes" everywhere in China. According to research, the origin of "Eight Scenes" is Changsha, Hunan. During the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1056- 1063), there was a Eight Scenery Terrace outside Changsha Yimen (near the approach bridge of Xiangjiang Bridge in wuyi avenue today), which was copied by Song Di, a painter of the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, literati swarmed in, and the Eight Scenes of Xiaoxiang spread rapidly, and all localities imitated them. The Eight Scenery Map depicts eight scenic spots in the middle and lower reaches of Xiangjiang River, mainly in Changsha. Among them, there are four scenic spots in Tanzhou, namely, the dusk snow by the river, the sunny haze in the mountain city, the homecoming of Pu Yuan and the midnight bell of Yansi.

Changsha, as the birthplace of "Eight Scenes", of course, there are not a few local Eight Scenes (including Ten Scenes). ), and there are as many as 20 at a glance. For example:

Eight scenic spots in Yuelu Mountain: Xiao Yan in Liutang, Baked Xia in Taowu, Evening Fragrance of Wind and Lotus, Different Scenes in Tongyin, Quan Ming of Qujian, Bi Zhao Guan Yu, Wharton's confinement and winter vegetables in bamboo forest. The Eight Scenes of Yuelu Academy are actually the Eight Scenes of Yuelu Academy, which were carefully created by Luo Dian when he was the dean of the Academy in the 47th year of Qing Qianlong (1782). Later, Ru Yan, He Changling and many other literati competed for the Eight Scenes of the Academy, and many beautiful sentences were handed down from generation to generation.

Eight scenic spots in Liuyang: Xiangtaiquan, Yuqiao in Feng Pu, Hongge Sunset Red, Qiting Cao Fang, Wushan Snowfall, Yaoqiao Spring, Juhu Yu Yan and Zhongzhou Yue Feng. The Eight Scenes of Liuyang are concentrated in Liuyang County and its vicinity, which was first seen in the article Eight Scenes of Liuyang in Langtaosha written by Zhou Zhongxin, a juren in Qing Dynasty.

The Eight Scenes of Lijiang River, also known as the Eight Scenes of Linxiang, are eight landscapes centered on Taogong Temple in Lizhen Town, Changsha County. Tang Jingsen, a poet in the Republic of China, wrote eight poems about eight scenic spots in Lijiang River, which were widely spread.

Eight scenic spots in Beizhuang: the blessed land of goose and sheep, the famous mountain of Tongshu, the clear spring to wake up the heart, the clear eye of Pinghu, the clear peak of Yuelu Mountain, the smoke tree of Laotang Lake, the clean treatment of Xiangjiang River and the land and water carpet. Beizhuang was a manor built in Yangshan and Xiufengshan (now Kaifu District) of Changsha County after Wang Wei, assistant minister of the right Ministry of War, was dismissed from office and reinstated in the first year of Mingshun (1457). The scenery here is beautiful. During Wang Wei's amusement, he tried his best to climb the mountain and overlook it, and wrote eight poems about eight scenic spots in Beizhuang.

Aside from the negative factors in the "Eight Scenery Diseases" mentioned by Mr. Lu Xun, we can find that "Eight Scenery" also has a positive role in conciliating and combing traditional landscapes. The old eight scenic spots (including ten scenic spots) in Changsha are mostly the essence of ancient scenic spots in Changsha, and they are tourism resources that can be developed according to the map. Because today, most of them are not included in the scope of protection and left to fend for themselves, some ancient cultural landscapes are decreasing day by day. Relevant departments should take measures to rescue this endangered folk cultural heritage.
