Qiuxue nunnery

Qiuxue nunnery

Qiu Xue an is located in the center of Xixi River Wetland in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. It is also the essence of XiXi Wetland and is one of the eight scenic spots in Xixi. It was built in the early years of Chunxi of Song Dynasty, because on the isolated island, the endless reed beach in the southeast, under the bright moon in autumn, presents a vast artistic conception of fame and wealth. Chen Jiru, a great calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, took the artistic conception of the Tang poem "fishing boat in autumn snow" and named it "autumn snow nunnery". Among them, dangzhilou was inscribed by Dong Qichang, which became an important cultural content in qiuxue nunnery.

In autumn, the area of qiuxue nunnery still presents the ancient and elegant scenery of aloes: in the East, the reed flowers are flying on the qiuxue beach, in the south, the willow catkins are flying in the yangliucheng City, and in front of the baijialou, there are open and distant green grassland. With rich levels and typical wetland landscape, they form a very wide field of vision with the grass hall as the background and the water as the main body.

Qiuxue nunnery was originally a two-way courtyard structure. The main function of the building in the first courtyard is Buddhist culture. From the middle of the second courtyard to the early years of the Republic of China, the ancestral hall of two Zhejiang CI poets was set up to worship more than a thousand CI poets. It is an important place to reflect the cultural accumulation of Xixi. There is a stone walk in front of the gate, which is the core scenic spot of "eight sceneries of Xixi". Qiuxue nunnery plays an important role in Xixi's historical culture and cultural landscape. Because of its unique pastoral style, it has always been an ideal environment for literati to enjoy leisure, health and seclusion. They have left a large number of poems, paintings and inscriptions in Xixi.

Description of works

Qiuxue nunnery in a dream of the West Lake

Su mountain is sixty-two feet high, and the Zhou Dynasty is eighteen Li and two hundred steps away. At the foot of the mountain, there is Shiren Mountain, which is steep and upright. It is shaped like a human, with a towering bun. There are hundreds of residents in Xixi, which are gathered as villages and cities. It is said that when the Song Dynasty went to the south, Gaozong arrived in Wulin at the beginning, so he wanted to be a capital because of his rich land. After the Phoenix Mountain, is the cloud: "Xixi and stay." Later generations took their names. The place is very secluded. There are many ancient plum trees. The plum trees are short and small, and their branches are bent like Huangshan pine. Those who do good things go to the land, and those who buy very little will be listed as basins and pools for small scenery. Its place has autumn snow nunnery, a piece of reed, the moon, white as snow, is a wonder. I call the West Lake a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River. Those who enter the West Lake are tired of beautiful scenery, and those who are tired of singing songs. If they want to find deep streams and valleys, they can avoid the world like Taoyuan and JuShui. Yu Youjiang's road is dark, and he gives up his essence in Xixi to invite Yu Tongyin. More than to Lu Lu dust, failed to go, so far still have a grudge.

Zhang Dai's autumn snow nunnery poem:

Ancient Dang Xixi, the world heard, Wangchuan poetry is to record travel text.

The old grass in front of the temple is snowing in autumn, and the strange peaks outside the forest are covered with summer clouds.
