Bishan chanting Club

Bishan chanting Club

Bishan poetry club was founded in 1482, the 18th year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty. Qin Xu, the descendant of Qin Guan, the leader of the graceful CI school in the Song Dynasty, moved to Wuxi. He bought mountains, built houses and pavilions, opened paths and piled slopes, led springs and dredged ponds, and built bamboo groves at the north foot of Huishan mountain. He also formed an association with nine old poets in Wuxi, which was called "ten old society" at the beginning, and later called "Bishan Poetry Society". In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, after several times of abandonment, the descendants of the Qin family restored the society several times. Later, it was burned to ashes by the Taiping army. In the early period of the Republic of China, Wenzhi of the Tang Dynasty was written according to the cliff inscriptions in Huishan

It is now on the left side of the backyard of Bishan chanting society. At the beginning of the Republic of China, when Huishan primary school was built, Wen Zhengming's inscribed plaque was found. Since the 1950s, it has been restored, and there are also activities of poets in Xiyi, but it has not become a climate. On January 6, 1986, Xu Jingyu, Zhuang Shen and Mao Yicheng initiated and implemented the restoration of the society. After the painstaking efforts of CAI Xuebiao and Yuan Zonghan, the Bishan Poetry Club grew year by year. By the end of 2014, there were nearly 200 members. In 2012, the forum was opened, attracting many young poets to join, actively carrying out creative activities, and the Wuxi classical poetry world was full of vitality. Every year, the Poetry Society collects "Bi Shan Yin Cao", which has been published nearly 30 issues, and published "Wuxi poetry" monthly in half a year. It has become a beautiful landscape in Wuxi cultural circles.

Bishan Poetry Society established Wuxi Poetry Association in the 1990s, with two brands and a team.

Open Air Museum

In the 1950s, Wuxi City gradually built Xishan and Huishan near the west of the city into Xihui park. Due to the long history and culture of Wuxi, there are still many remains, so people call it Wuxi open-air history museum. Huishan was called Lishan, Huashan, Jiulongshan, guanlongshan and xishenshan in ancient times. Huizhao, a famous monk from the western regions in Jin Dynasty, came to this mountain to settle in tin, which was called Huishan; Huitong and Huitong were later called Huishan. Xishan is said to have produced aluminum and tin in the Qin Dynasty, after which Wuxi was named according to the cloud. According to the investigation of modern geologists, it is impossible that there has ever been tin deposit in this mountain. As early as 4000 years ago, there were ancestors living here. Archaeologists found the site of an ancient village here (in front of the fountain in the garden), and unearthed the stone and pottery production and living utensils left by the ancestors. Now there is a landmark stone tablet of this site. During the Warring States period, Wuxi was the fiefdom of Huang Xie, the emperor of Chunshen. Huang Xie once drank horses in Huishan mountain stream, later known as Huanggong stream. In the Southern Dynasties, the Song Dynasty chief Shi zhanting built "Lishan thatched cottage" here, and later a monk built "Huashan jingshe" here. Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, built the Datong hall in 537 A.D., which was called "Fayun Temple" and "Huishan Temple" in the late Tang Dynasty. The existing Datong hall was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty and repaired in the 1980s. There are two stone Scripture buildings on both sides of the gate. One was built in 876, the second year of Qianfu in Tang Dynasty, and the other in 1070, the third year of Xining in Northern Song Dynasty. Huishan has been a scenic spot since the Tang Dynasty.

Zhulu mountain house was one of the destroyed buildings of Tingsong nunnery. In the early Ming Dynasty, Wang Ba, a painter with the reputation of being a master of ink and bamboo, lived in the nunnery. The abbot Hai let the bamboo craftsman make a unique bamboo tea stove. Wang Ba drew pictures and wrote poems for it, which caused some celebrities to sing and become a good story in the literary world. Emperor Qianlong was very interested in the bamboo stove mountain house, and asked the bamboo craftsman to imitate the bamboo stove and take it to the capital. During the period of the Republic of China, there was a Jinghui hall on Erquan (now renamed Luzi Temple). After the liberation of Wuxi, the deserted Xihui scenic spot was renovated, with a large number of trees planted, Yingshan Lake dug, azalea garden and zoo built, lakeside mountain hall, Huilu thatched cottage and JinSu hall built, zhangzhongcheng temple and Rencao nunnery rebuilt, Datong hall and huaxiaozi Temple overhauled. Now Jichang Garden is being renovated, and the damaged buildings are being rebuilt according to the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties To restore part of the lost landscape, so that the ancient garden to reproduce its most beautiful scenery. When a tourist visited Xihui Park, he once said something like this: "it's really Tang, song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties here. We can see the present from ancient times." This sentence really shows the scene of Wuxi, an open-air historical museum.

Scenic Spots and Historical Sites

Bishan poetry club is one of the major historical sites in Xihui Park, Huishan ancient town, Wuxi. It has been known as the poetry club for more than 530 years since it was founded in 1482. In fact, its original humanistic significance was the Wuxi Forum on the moral cultivation of the elderly, and the poetry club was only its form.

When Bishan chanting society was first established, its members were composed of nine elderly people over the age of Huajia, such as Qin Xu, and a 48 year old middle-aged man. Later, it was called Bishan's ten elders. At that time, every month when the wind and the sun were beautiful, ten members of Bishan chanting Club gathered in Huishan to enjoy themselves. They wrote poems and entertained themselves! This kind of spontaneous elegant leisure activities of the elderly has aroused widespread concern in the society, especially the important officials of the imperial court at that time, who were also famous honest officials. After Wang Shu, the governor of Yingtian, the right deputy capital of the Minister of the Ministry of war of Nanjing, received ten members of Bishan chant club, Bishan chant club was even more famous. Not only the local people were proud of it, they flocked to it, but also the foreign cultural people were attracted to it, leaving a lot of songs poem.

Among the poems sung by the Bishan society in the Ming Dynasty, the most familiar one is called "you Hui Shan Guo Bishan society", which says: "in the poetry world, renyin's age is built high, and things are passed on far. If you buy land, you can pay for it. If you taste spring, you can't ask tea fairy. Tree hiding Pavilion in the breeze, the road around the cloud root hole. Geng advocated that he would like to form an alliance with the later generations and return to the fields later. " Wu Kuan (1435-1504), whose name is paoan, is a famous poet, essayist and calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty. He was named Wu wending because of his posthumous title. He was born in Suzhou and won the first place in the eighth year of Chenghua (1472). Wu Zhuangyuan's poem records the founding year, origin, geographical location and other information of Bishan yinshe. His main point of view is that he compares the ten members of Bishan yinshe to the "ten talented poets" in the Dali Period of Tang Dynasty, which is of course Wu Zhuangyuan's highly compliment or "flattery" to Bishan yinshe from the perspective of literary history. Wu Kuan once served as youyude of youchunfang, a teacher of the crown prince Zhu Youzhe (known as emperor Hongzhi after he ascended the throne). He has a bright official career and is regarded as a "political star" by people. However, he shows his willingness to join Bishan yinshe after retirement. This is a modest attitude of putting himself in a very low position, and this attitude is like a red flower set off by green leaves, which shows the noble and elegant power of Bishan yinshe Centripetal force. However, in Wu Zhuangyuan's eyes, Bishan yinshe was at best a self entertaining old man
