History of diancuizhou

Diancuizhou was famous in Song Dynasty, where Chen Cheng first built the pavilion. In the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, it was changed into Diancui Pavilion, and then it went through several ups and downs. In 1913, Liudan Pavilion (also known as martyr Pavilion) was built on the island to commemorate the martyrs who died in the "battle of Ma'an" in Huizhou during the 1911 Revolution. There is a couplet at the front door of Liudan Pavilion: "the pavilion is cool, breathing the light of the lake and drinking the green of the mountain; the heaven and the earth are healthy, leaving the heart of the elixir to shine on history." This is a poem written by later generations from Dongpo and Wenshan. In front of the right side of the main entrance of the pavilion stands a stone tablet inscribed with the inscription of the late Chinese leader Liao Chengzhi, vice chairman (from Huizhou), who visited Liudan Pavilion in diancuizhou, West Lake in 1984.

The tiles, walls, corridors and columns of the pavilion have strong characteristics of national ancient architecture, which is solemn and elegant. The trees in the island are green and luxuriant. From a distance, the whole island only shows the roof of the pavilion, which can be called "oasis".

In the northeast of Liudan Pavilion, there is a pavilion corridor standing on the lake, opposite to Liudan Pavilion. From diancuizhou through the stone arch bridge, then to the loquat island.

Diancuizhou culture

Kong shao'e, a talented woman in the Ming Dynasty, said in her poem diancuizhou that "the West Lake and the West son are married, and the lake surface is suitable for diancuizhou. A section of beauty can not be described, and the Moon Bay is like a brow." this is the best scenery of the West Lake Island. In the Song Dynasty, Chen, the governor of Huizhou, said that he built a pavilion on the island. In the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, it was changed into a green Pavilion, and then it was abandoned several times. After the revolution of 1911, Liudan pavilion was rebuilt to commemorate the martyrs who died in the battle of Tongqing saddle. Later generations gathered together Dongpo and Wenshan and said, "the halls and pavilions are cool, breathing the light of the lake and drinking the mountains; the heaven and the earth are healthy, and the heart of the heaven and the earth shines on history." In 1924, the lake was dredged to accumulate soil in the west of the pavilion, and an additional Pipa island was built, on which a Pipa pavilion was built. Because of the green ancient trees, red walls, green tiles and vermilion columns, Zhouzhu stands tall and straight, surrounded by thousands of green waves, known as "Liudan Diancui". Now the pavilions and pavilions are more beautiful, the trees are full of shade, and there are nine curves back to the bridge, so the scenery is more quiet and pleasant.
