history

Since ancient times, the night scene of mountain city has been known as "Water Lantern", which was one of the "12 scenes of Bayu" in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. Because the Yangtze River and Jialing River meandering intersection here, the shape is similar to the ancient seal character "Ba", so it is called "Zi Shui". "Night lamp" reflects "word water", and romantic occupies the whole world. Wang Erjian, a man of the Qing Dynasty, said in his poem: "the house of Yuzhou is high and low, and it is uneven and close to the stone city. Who will fire ten thousand families and shoot one river back. The waves are rolling and the light is hard to cover, the clouds are flowing and the shadows are clear. The sky and water are crystal clear. " One of the characteristics of the night scene of the mountain city benefits from the undulating terrain and the numerous buildings on the mountain. When the night falls, the lights of thousands of families shine high and low, such as the stars in the sky, which is extremely magnificent; second, it benefits from the two rivers and the adjacent twin bridges. The river is full of glory. The bridge deck is red and purple, just like a dragon. The movement is different, just like the sky that never sleeps.

Water Lantern

During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, Wang Erjian, the magistrate of Baxian county at that time, wrote a poem praising that he went down to Yuzhou house and worked as a counsellor near the stone city. Who will fire ten thousand families and shoot one river back. The waves are rolling and the light is hard to cover, the clouds are flowing and the shadows are clear. The sky and water are crystal clear.

In the past, the place where Wang Er appreciated the scenery was located in xiaoliangzi (now near the people's Park), which is the highest point of the old city of Chongqing. Jiangbei City and Nanshan Laojun cave on the south bank are also good places to enjoy the "Zi Shui Xiao Deng" in the old days.

The word "Water Lantern" refers to all kinds of lights at night, which are reflected with the waves of the river, as if the water and the sky are the same color. According to the old records, Chongqing's two rivers meet, cutting cliffs for the city, and along the river for the pool. At night, thousands of lights appear one after another. They cover each other. The light shines brightly on the river, and mingles with the stars and the moon.

The water lantern is formed by the unique topography of Chongqing. Yuzhong District, the mother city of Chongqing, is the former capital of Ba state. It is surrounded by the Yangtze River and Jialing River, and converges at Chaotianmen. The river is zigzag and flows eastward like the word "Ba", so it is called "Zi Shui". On the rocks on the South Bank of the lower river of Ciyun Temple, there are two big characters "Zi Shui", 3.5 meters high and more than 2 meters wide. They were written by Xu Changxu, a calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty, and chiseled by Cui Xingfa, a famous craftsman.
