Introduction

Sanshan island is located in Taihu Lake southwest of Dongshan Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou city. It is a big mountain island with two small ones. One is the main island with three mountains, and the other is the Ze mountain and Jue mountain. The main peak is 81.2 meters above sea level. It is said that Wu Fei and her sisters lived in one peak at the end of the spring and Autumn period. Sanfeng temple was built in 872. "Sanfeng temple Zhuangdian Ji" by Cao Xi of Ming Dynasty says: "Sanfeng ancient temple is also surrounded by Pinghu Lake It's the mountain standing in it, isolated and ingenious. People call it little Penglai, which is better than Wuzhong. "

There are ten old scenic spots on the mountain. There are Guting, which is said to be a dressing table; Banbi peak, which is called Xingshan, is a steep stone with a natural water stone bonsai; folding stone, which is said to win by stone, is said to be the other place of Wu King's daughter's house; twelve zodiac stone, which is close to Taihu Lake, is exquisite and hollow, like the animal shape of the twelve zodiac; others are censer stone, niubeiyan and so on. Every family on the island cultivates bonsai. It can be called Penglai.

There are also Paleolithic sites and mammal fossils more than 10000 years ago known as "Sanshan culture". Sanshan island is located at 120 16 45 12 17 55 E and 31 125 31 230 n. Living at the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, it was the throat of Suzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou, Xihu and Hangzhou, and Shenwu canal.

Therefore, "when the king of Wu was in Taoism, he was commonly known as sanshanmen." Wuxian Zhiyun: in the past (spring and Autumn period), there were three concubines and sisters, each of whom lived on a peak. The mountain people set up a temple to worship it. Since the establishment of the township system in the Han Dynasty, it has been under the jurisdiction of Wucheng County, Huzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, known as Dongting township. The three mountains in the Jin Dynasty were called Penglai. Wang Jiazhuan of the Jin Dynasty wrote a book called "shiyiji": "there are three mountains in the sea, which are shaped like pots." Wang Wei, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in Ming Dynasty, wrote the story of the gully boat garden, which says: "heaven will ascend the pavilion, just like seeing the three mountains on the sea, full of spirits and wonders, and like a long house shrinking into the ground, you can't know that you are immortal when you are in a pot." According to the records of yilvyuan in the Qing Dynasty, Xu Qianxue's records and daoshu called it "Dongtianfudi".

According to historical records: during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, there were 615 households and 3012 people in the three mountains, excluding jueze and Liangshan. After the looting in the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860 AD) and the war chaos before liberation, there were only 152 households and more than 530 people in the three mountains including jueze and Liangshan in the early days of the people's Republic of China. Over the past 40 years, there have been 275 households and 889 households. The heyday of Sanshan island can be divided into: Xiantong period of Tang Dynasty; Tianqi period of Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty; Qianlong and Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty and after the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee. The decline period can be divided into: Huizong Chuiyi in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhuzhe taking Huashi in the middle of Zhejiang, named huashigang; Xianfeng and Cixi building the summer palace in the Qing Dynasty, and the great leap forward and the ten-year catastrophe after the founding of the people's Republic of China. Repeatedly destroyed all the ancient trees and famous trees, ancient temples and temples, and quarried mountains. In the past, there were three mountains surrounded by green bamboos and thousands of ancient trees; birds were singing, deer were running, and fish were leaping; the fairyland palaces and Buddhist temples were lined with each other, and the scenery of Yaotai qiongge was all over the world. Looking at some of the well preserved buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties, people can also recall some traces of historical events. The three mountains of Taihu Lake, with its beautiful scenery, dynamic and static features, are both strong and excellent. They are fairyland to enjoy the scenery of Wuzhong mountains and Taihu Lake. They are a bright pearl in Taihu Lake and an archipelago scenic spot in the paradise of Suzhou and Hangzhou. In the Qing Dynasty, Wu Zhuangzi praised the poem "three mountains" and said: "the Dragon Qi of Changqi connects the three mountains, the zejue stretches, and when you look at it, you can see that Penglai is in the world."
