historical background

According to historical records, "during the Qin Dynasty, Zhanjiang belonged to Xiang county.". In 634 A.D., it was renamed Leizhou, and took charge of three counties in Leizhou Peninsula, Suixi, Haikang and Xuwen At that time, Baiyue people mainly lived in Leizhou Peninsula, and their cultural ecology was primitive liliao culture, so there was a culture of Baiyue people“

The title of "land of Southern barbarians". This kind of place is inaccessible. People in the cultural circle of the Central Plains do not want to come here. However, this far away place is often used by the imperial court to exile disobedient officials. According to the book, no less than 20 celebrities were relegated to or stayed in Zhanjiang in the Tang and Song Dynasties alone. Kou Zhun, Li Gang, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Qin Guan, Tang Xianzu and other famous officials and literary giants came one after another.

brief introduction

In the West Lake, one of the famous scenic spots in Leizhou, Guangdong Province, we can see the well preserved relics of these sages.

Leizhou West Lake, formerly known as Luohu, was built in the Northern Song Dynasty. Since Su Shi brothers, the great literary giant, had drunk here, Luohu changed its name to West Lake. Later, in order to commemorate Su Gong, people in Leizhou built Su Gong Pavilion in Nanhu Park during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. In front of the pavilion, there is a stone statue of Su Shi standing tall and looking at the north with his eyes, which shows his patriotism that he is still looking forward to the central Plains.

"Brothers gather and disperse in the north and south of the sky; the smoke and water are boundless, and the feeling is whether there is or not.". This is a couplet of Su Gong Pavilion in the past. Walking along the southwest direction of a Su Shi language memorial archway with "xihuping, the number one scholar", we can see a Su Dongpo statue and a small Lingdong building with red pillars and colorful eaves floating on the lake. This is the Su Gong pavilion built more than 400 years ago in the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. It stands in a small island in the middle of the lake surrounded by blue waves on three sides and connected in one path. In the seventh year of song Shaosheng, Su Shi was demoted from Huizhou to Danzhou and traveled thousands of miles through Leizhou. He was lucky to meet his brother Su Zhe, who was demoted to Leizhou. My brother chose a day to go boating in the South Lake. He was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the South Lake. He didn't want to go home. After that, he went to Tianning Buddhist temple on the lakeside to have a rest. Su Cheng has a lot of fun. The four words "the first Mountain" were written here and now.

scenic spot

Su Gong Pavilion

People in Leizhou built pavilions to commemorate the visit of "er su" to Leizhou West Lake, which is called "Su Gong Pavilion". Although the name of the pavilion has been changed many times over the past 400 years, the meaning of remembering Su Gong remains the same. The present Su Gong Pavilion is the basic structure of the reconstruction in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. Many eunuchs and scholars in the past dynasties wrote antithetical inscriptions at the gate, lintel and corridor of pavilions, such as "clouds embracing the stars", "deep fish music", "natural course", "thousands of miles of official travel to the sea, the general rural scenery remembering Hangzhou" and other lintel plaques and couplets. In the early Qing Dynasty, Chen Yu, governor of Fujian Province and governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Province, was a native of Leizhou. He wrote a poem: "to be a courtier, to travel the same way, to be a difficult brother and a difficult brother at the end of the world. His neighbor has already been Dai Hongen, and his banishment place is still Tang Di Rong. Looking to the north, the mountains rise face to face, and the waves float to the south to meet the balance. I'll do my best to leave here. I'll pay my respects to anyone.

Leizhou people changed Luohu into West Lake in memory of the two great writers of the Soviet Union.

Shixian Temple

On the north side of the West Lake, there is also the song garden, in which there are ten sages' ancestral halls, which were built by Leizhou people to commemorate the ten sages of Song Dynasty, including Prime Minister Kou Zhun, bachelor Su Shi, Shi Lang Su Zhe, Zhengzi Qin Guan, privy Wang yansuo, Zhengyan Ren Boyu, prime ministers Li Gang, Zhao Ding, participating in politics Li Guang and editor Hu Quan. This "ten sages" can be said to be the representative of "sages". They are noble, upright, knowledgeable and have outstanding political achievements. They are not the people who flatter and bow down for five Dou of rice. Listing them as "ten sages" reflects the will of Leizhou people.

The tragedy of the personal fate of the sages has become the gospel of Zhanjiang. Their efforts made this wasteland a fertile land for Zhong lingyuxiu. Although the "ten sages" have been dead for a long time, and the historical sites in the West Lake Park have gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, the cultural heritage of the sages has been nurturing future generations, and has become an important component of today's Leizhou Peninsula's most quintessence culture.

Yishan scenic spot

Solitary mountain

GUSHAN is located in the outer West Lake on the north side, with an altitude of 35 meters and an area of about 0.22 km2. It is the branch of qixialing and the largest island in the West Lake. The Southern Song Dynasty Xianchun "Lin'an Zhi" Volume 23: "a islet stands, beside no couplet attached, for the lake mountain wins absolutely place." Today, the mountain is covered with luxuriant trees, and many historical and cultural relics have been preserved. The East and west of the isolated mountain are connected with the lake bank by Baidi and Xiling bridge respectively, and there are many places of interest on the island. Therefore, Hangzhou people call the "isolated mountain" and "few lonely people" together with "broken bridge", "broken friendship", "long bridge" and "long affection".

The main landscapes on Gushan include Zhongshan Park, Zhejiang Provincial Museum, Wenlan Pavilion, Xiling Seal society, Fanghe Pavilion, Qiujin tomb, Yulou, Mucai Pavilion (Su Xiaoxiao tomb), etc.

history

Zhongshan Park was originally the imperial garden of the Qing Dynasty. In 1927, the park was named "Zhongshan Park" in memory of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. There are two characters "Gushan" written on the stone level facing the entrance of the park. There is not a single word in it. People guess that it means "Gushan is not alone". In the northeast corner of Gushan, the crane releasing pavilion was built to commemorate Lin Fu, who was famous as "plum wife and crane son" in Song Dynasty. Zhejiang Provincial Museum is located at the south foot of Gushan Mountain. It has more than 100000 pieces of cultural relics. It has been open to the public free of charge since January 1, 2004. Wenlan Pavilion is located in the northwest corner of Zhejiang Provincial Museum. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt in the form of Wenyuan Pavilion in the Palace Museum of Beijing to store Sikuquanshu. Founded in 1904 at the southwest foot of Gushan Mountain, Xiling Seal engraver's Association is a famous art group of stone calligraphy and painting in modern China. There is also a time-honored Hangzhou Hotel "Louwailou" on the island, which is famous for the "west lake vinegar fish" cooked by grass carp raised alive in the West Lake.

Broken bridge scenic spot

Baidi starts from the broken bridge in the East, goes West through Jindai bridge, and connects with Gushan in "autumn moon of Pinghu", about 1 km long. In Tang Dynasty, it was called baishati and Shati, and later in song and Ming Dynasty, it was also called gushanlu and shijintang. In ancient times, Baidi was paved with white sand, and later it was changed into asphalt pavement. On both sides of Baidi, there are many kinds of green peach and willow trees. It is the best viewing point to enjoy the panoramic view of the West Lake and the surrounding mountains.

Duanqiao (see "Duanqiao CanXue" for details) is located in the East head of Baidi. In the folk story "the legend of white snake", Duanqiao is the place where Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian meet, so it is the most famous bridge in the West Lake. Jindai bridge is located in the west of Duanqiao, also known as Hanbi bridge. The eighth volume of Xihu annals written by Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty: "the old wooden frame of Jindai bridge is a beam. Emperor shengzuren (Emperor Kangxi) was lucky to be on the lonely mountain, and the Royal boat turned to Lihu." It was rebuilt in 1914. In 1921, at the same time with the broken bridge, it was rebuilt and added with cement concrete arch. The existing bridge is 8.1m long, 8.6m wide and 5.9m single span stone arch bridge.

Su dike, formerly known as Su Gong dike, starts from Nanshan Road at the foot of Nanping mountain in the South and ends at Yuewang temple in the north, crossing the lake. The dike is 2797 meters long and 30-40 meters wide. There are six stone arch bridges on the Su dike from south to north, which are Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Yadi, Dongpu (according to research, it is suspected that Shupu is wrong) and kuahong.
