brief introduction

The construction of Wozhou Lake (Changzhao reservoir) was started in October 1972. The reservoir was closed on March 29, 1979 and completed in October 1982. The dam is a small aggregate concrete masonry gravity dam with a height of 68m, a crest elevation of 140m, a crest length of 211m and a width of 12m.

Wozhou Lake scenic spot, 12 kilometers southeast of Xinchang, Zhejiang Province, is one of the three provincial scenic spots in Xinchang. The scenic area mainly includes Wozhou lake and Tianmu Mountain, with a total area of more than 50 square kilometers.

Xinchang river originates from the west side of Huading in Tiantai Mountain, enters Xinchang through Shiliang waterfall, and then enters the lake area through Maoyang and Huangtan. Therefore, some streams above the lake area are called Maoyang river or Huangtan river.

Huangtan river meets with Qingtan river at the foot of Xianglufeng mountain. There are sandbanks between them, which are often planted with rice and mulberry hemp, so it is called Wozhou. The names of Wozhou mountain and Wozhou lake all originate from this.

geographical position

Wuzhou lake and Wuzhou mountain are the branches of Tiantai Mountain, which are adjacent to Pengshan in the East, Tianmu in the South and liumen in the West. The name of Wozhou comes from woshui.

There are two sources: one is Tiantai stone beam, the other is Dongmao water curtain, which is composed of two waterfalls and springs. It is one of the sources of Shanxi.

Water to mulberry garden distribution, yongsha Tan, Changli Xu, flat leisure, cluster orchid, spring sweet soil fat, people to rich, so the name of Wozhou. After the completion of Changzhao reservoir, Weiran lake.

Historical records

Wuzhou Lake scenic spot has rich historical and cultural deposits. According to Soushenji, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao went to Tiantai Mountain to collect herbs and met Fairies in liumen mountain. From then on, the place became known as "the road to the source of fairies".

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were many eminent monks and celebrities around Wozhou mountain, which became one of the Buddhist centers at that time.

Especially after Zhidun, the most outstanding representative of the eminent monks, arrived at Wozhou, the Buddhist theory was further pushed to the climax. Five of the six schools and seven schools advocated by Mahayana Prajna Buddhism appeared here.

After the founding of Tiantai Sect, it was the only way to go to Tiantai along Huangtan river. Therefore, the area of Wozhou mountain has its unique position in the history of Chinese Buddhism.

Because Zhidun established a temple in the mountains, many famous people came here to visit, which was unprecedented.

The place where Zhidun lived in Wozhou mountain has become a famous allusion in religious history. Zhidunling, yangmapo, shangmapo and fanghefeng have been said from ancient times to the present.

Xie Lingyun is known as the "ancestor of landscape poetry". Most of his themes are in the area of Wozhou mountain. People call eastern Zhejiang the birthplace of Chinese landscape poetry for this reason.

In the Tang Dynasty, this area entered its heyday. Among the poets recorded in the whole Tang poetry, 340 of them visited Wozhou and Tianmu.

There are 174 poets in the biography of Tang talented scholars who have been to this area. There are more than 50 poems about the scenery of Wuzhou mountain. At that time, the reputation of Wuzhou mountain can be imagined.

Among them, Li Bai's song "sleepwalking, Tianmu's farewell" is very popular. The magnificent momentum described by "Tianmu's crossing the sky, pulling up the five mountains and covering the red city" made the poetry world at that time fall in love with it.

The first chapter of Bai Juyi's "records of the Buddhist temple in Wuzhou mountain" is "the southeast mountains and rivers are led by Yue, Shan is the surface, and the Tianmu in Wuzhou is the eyebrow.

There are extraordinary circumstances for husband, and then there are extraordinary human settlements. " It further affirmed the historical status of Wozhou Tianmu.

The "road of Tang poetry", which has been widely recognized by the academic circles, is based on such a profound cultural origin. It is of special significance for all previous "road of Tang poetry" international academic conferences to set the conference center in Xinchang.

Scholars and experts from the mainland, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other places often pay special attention to this area

Zhenjun hall by Wozhou Lake

The Zhenjun hall on the Bank of Wozhou lake, formerly known as shizhenren temple, is famous for its incense, which reaches Tiantai, Shengxian, Ningbo, Fenghua and Ninghai. Every temple fair has many folk art performances, which are very lively.

The stone sculptures on the central pillar of the hall are very lifelike. The water curtain cave in the northeast of Wozhou lake has a quiet scenery and unique cave sky. It was the place where Zhu Daoqian, the national master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, settled down. When Zhu Xi visited the water curtain cave in the Song Dynasty, he wrote a poem: "I'll visit the water curtain Valley. I'll brush my face and fly to the spring to wake my eyes. A piece of water curtain covers the entrance of the cave. Who can roll up the curtain hook?"

Zhenjun hall, formerly known as shishenren temple, has a red face and long beard, and a broad belt. The architecture of Zhenjun hall has a unique charm. The art of wood, brick and stone carving is very exquisite. In particular, a pair of Panlong made of Xikeng stone carving on the eaves column of Mingjian is eye-catching. The column is 4.3 meters high and about 0.5 meters in diameter. The stone carving is three layers deep and shallow. The mouth of the stone dragon contains rolling beads, exquisite and transparent.

On the top of the column stands Lei Gong with a sharp beak, holding a mirror and an electric mother, and the column body is interspersed with Eight Immortals crossing the sea, Fengshen Yushi and fish and shrimp. The exquisite and vivid depiction is the top quality of stone carving art, which can be called a unique.

When I arrived at the Zhenjun hall, I found that there was a great poet Bai Juyi's record of the temple of Zen in Wuzhou mountain. In the article, there are some praise words for Wozhou, such as "the southeast mountains and rivers are headed by Yue, Shan is the surface, Wozhou and Tianmu are the eyebrows", "so there is a special place, and then there are special people living there".

Before visiting Wozhou lake, I looked up the poems about Wozhou Lake in Tang poetry and found that Liu Changqing's "five character Great Wall" and "send to the master" said: "the solitary cloud will lead the wild crane to live in the world.

Mount momaiwo, known to pedestrians. " He advised lingche: how can a monk like you live in the world? Don't live in seclusion in Wozhou mountain, because it's a well-known place.

But it's not that Wozhou mountain is not a good place. On the contrary, Liu Changqing wrote in his poem "when I first came to Bijian to recruit the master of Mingqi", that "Wozhou can be hidden together, and there's no need for Daolin money." "Daolin" in the poem refers to zhidaolin and Zhidun, the famous eminent monks in Wei and Jin Dynasties.

He asked Zhu Qian, an eminent monk living in seclusion here, to buy a mountain to live in seclusion. Zhu Qian had heard about Zhidun for a long time, so of course he didn't need to buy it. Meng Haoran wrote a poem when he traveled to Wuzhou to hide: "Zhidun sought Tao at the beginning, but Shengong laughed at buying mountains". The quotation "buying mountains and hiding" comes from this.

In the Tang Dynasty, when roaming and reading were popular, many poets yearned for the victory of Wuzhou and the legacy of Wei and Jin Dynasties, and gathered in Wuzhou to compose poems. Jiaoran, a poet monk in the late Tang Dynasty, described the grand occasion vividly. "Because Zhidun was so high, he made famous men to win the tour." Among the Tang poems concerning Wozhou, the most important content is the poems in memory of Zhidun. Zhidun's elegant style is highly admired by the poets of Tang Dynasty. Tang poetry monk Ling Yi has a poem praising: "Zhi Gong believes in Gao Yi and lives in the mountains for a long time", "who is a virtuous person in the bamboo grove.

Over the jade girl peak, a hundred meters ahead, there is a saddle like island called fanghefeng, because there is no wave on the water, like on a large transparent glass. This is the place where zhidaolin released cranes. Zhi Daolin loved the crane's soaring posture, so he raised a crane, and pitied the crane's loneliness and purity. He couldn't bear to let it become his own thing, so he let it fly. His elegant story of raising and releasing cranes was later passed down to be a good story through the ages, and became a favorite topic of poets in the Tang Dynasty.

The distant mountains are empty, the blue waves are vast, the jade space is clear, and there is no cloud. Floating on a boat in the clear, clear, and icy water, we forget each other in the river and lake. We can clear up the dust and forget the favor and disgrace together. But see the air colorless, five implications are empty, "color is not different from empty, empty is not different color" I think that Zhidun must have changed everything in front of him into nothingness in this situation. He came to the famous conclusion that "color is emptiness, and color is different from emptiness" in ancient and modern times. Therefore, he founded "namely color sect" among the six schools and seven schools of Buddhism.

Bai Juyi called Wozhou "southeast Brow". Li Bai, who traveled all over the world, took the measure of beauty of Wozhou to measure the beauty he loved. He said: "the five pines are more beautiful than the scenery of Wozhou". Xu Rulin, a man of Qing Dynasty, praised "the scenery of Wozhou is as beautiful as an eyebrow".
