Cultural history

Before the Song Dynasty, the West Lake was a vast "wild water", a "reservoir" of suburban water conservancy projects in the Song Dynasty, conveying nectar to the vast tidal fields in the East. It was also a tourist attraction in Leizhou in ancient times, leaving the footprints of many literati and local officials. In ancient times, it was called "Lei Lake". At that time, its water storage area was about five or six times that of the West Lake. With the change of environment, there was a repeated process of Lake changing into field and field changing into lake. Before the Song Dynasty, only the ancient temple of Tianning and the blue water depended on each other day and night. During the Xianchun period of the Song Dynasty, eight pavilions were built along the lakeside, including Hengzhou, youou, Zhuofei, Fangsheng, Zongyi, Liushui Guzhou, zhouzhimeimu, and pubodi. Two bridges were built across the South dike to the East and west of Huiji.

After that, there appeared the pavilion of Su Gong and its name changed repeatedly, such as Yuzhong, Xinfang, Huxin, etc. From the elegant and meaningful names of these pavilions and bridges, we can trace back to the style of the lake at that time. A picture of waves, pavilions and pavilions, birds flying, fish leaping and boat splashing is displayed in front of us.

Luohu has been renamed West Lake since brothers Su Shi, the great literary giant, visited here drunk. From Luohu to Xihu, it has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes. It was once listed as one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Leizhou by the name of "green support of West Lake". At that time, the lakeside was connected with the Tianning Temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty. It was because of its magnificent scenery that the ancient temple was blessed with the praise of "No.1 mountain". Yuan maomei, a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty and a southward warder of Haibei, made a detailed observation of the scenery of the West Lake. He wrote eight poems about the lake, dike, pavilion, boat, field, fish, moon and rain. Among them, the poem "West Lake Pavilion" is described as follows: "the water of the lake is flowing and the pavilions are skillfully constructed. Reflection in the blue sky, clearly seven stars fall. Four windows with beautiful scenery, tall trees cover sparse power. Yu Yan thought for a while, pitching as little as possible. "

Main attractions

Shixian Temple

On the north side of Leizhou West Lake, there is also the song garden, in which there are ten sages' ancestral hall. It was built by Leizhou people to commemorate the ten sages of Song Dynasty, such as Prime Minister Kou Zhun, bachelor Su Shi, Shi Lang Su Zhe, Zhengzi Qin Guan, privy king yansuo, Zhengyan Ren Boyu, Prime Minister Li Gang, Zhao Ding, and Li Guang, editor Hu Quan. This "ten sages" can be said to be the representative of "sages". They are noble, upright, knowledgeable and have outstanding political achievements. They are not the people who flatter and bow down for five Dou of rice. Listing them as "ten sages" reflects the will of Leizhou people.

Su Gong Pavilion

Located in Leizhou West Lake Park. It was founded in 1539 in Jiajing of Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in Jiaqing of Qing Dynasty. It was originally named Yuzhong Pavilion, also known as Huxin Pavilion. Later, it was either Xinfang Pavilion, Ersu Pavilion, or Sugong Pavilion. The name has been changed many times, but the idea of remembering Su has never changed. Pavilion back south to north, brick and tile structure, double eaves four, the first floor for the column frame, four empty doors, surrounded by stone railings. The stone gates in the north, South, West and East are "Su Gong Pavilion", "clouds embracing the stars", "profound fish music" and "when it comes to its natural course"; the front and back couplets are "ten thousand li officials travel to the sea country, and the general rural scenery of Hangzhou" (written by cha tinggeng, a native of Yuhang, Zhejiang Province in the Qing Dynasty), "the light of the lake, the beauty of the clothes, the smoke and the miasma, and the bright sun and the moon" (written by Liang chengjiu, a native of Leizhou in the Qing Dynasty). In 1984, it was rebuilt again. A new tablet was set up in the west of the pavilion. A statue of Su Shi was erected in front of the pavilion. At the same time, Su dike was built, a lotus pond was built, willows and flowers were planted. So far, Su Gong Pavilion, which has experienced many vicissitudes, is even more spectacular against the backdrop of lakes, mountains, flowers and willows.

Kougong Temple

Xiguan · laiquanjing

Kou Gong temple, also known as Zu Zhong Temple, is located in the West Lake Park of Leizhou in the west of the city. It was built in the first year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1023) to commemorate Kou Zhun. It was rebuilt in 1985 and covers an area of 800 square meters. According to historical records, in April 1022, the first year of Qianxing in the Northern Song Dynasty, Kou Zhun, the prime minister, was trapped by Ding Diao, the prime minister. He was demoted to Leizhou to serve as a military officer. He left the West Hall of Tianning Temple for the first time, then lived in guihuafang, and died in September the next year. Lei Ren, on the other hand, set up a tune in the West Hall to commemorate his contribution to Leizhou. After Kou Zhun died, he was granted the title of Duke of Lai. Lei Ren called the well he drank in the east of Xiguan, which is called laiquanhe. In recent years, a tall stone statue of Kou Zhun was erected in the middle of the CI, surrounded by pines and cypresses.

Ruiyuan Academy

Located in Leizhou West Lake Park, east of kougongdiao. Originally, it was the West Hall of Tianning Temple (once built as Kou GongDiao). In 1272, Chen Dazhen, the governor of Chengchun County of the Southern Song Dynasty, even wrote CI for the courtyard, that is, Laiquan Academy was set up in Kou Gongci. In the early Yuan Dynasty, it was renamed Pinghu academy after Su Shi's poem "xihuping, number one scholar". In 1818, Xie bangji, the magistrate of Haikang County, and Chen Changqi, a famous scholar, proposed to renovate it. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial examination was abolished and the school was revived. In January 1904, the Academy was transformed into an official primary school of higher learning. For hundreds of years, the Institute has trained a large number of talents.

Luohu, formerly known as the West Lake in Leizhou, Guangdong Province, was built in the Northern Song Dynasty. Since the brothers Su Shi, the great literary giant, had drunk here, Luohu was renamed the West Lake. Later, in order to commemorate Su Gong, people in Leizhou built Su Gong Pavilion in the West Lake Park of Leizhou in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. In front of the pavilion, there is a stone statue of Su Shi standing up with his head high and looking north with his eyes, which shows his patriotic feelings of being on the side of the ground and still looking forward to the Central Plains. "Brothers gather and disperse in the north and south of the sky; the smoke and water are boundless, and the feeling is whether there is or not.". This is a couplet of Su Gong Pavilion in the past. Walking along the southwest direction of a Su Shi language memorial archway with "xihuping, the number one scholar", we can see a Su Dongpo statue and a small Lingdong building with red pillars and colorful eaves floating on the lake. This is the Su Gong pavilion built more than 400 years ago in the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. It stands in a small island in the middle of the lake surrounded by blue waves on three sides and connected in one path.

In the seventh year of song Shaosheng, Su Shi was demoted from Huizhou to Danzhou and traveled thousands of miles through Leizhou. He was lucky to meet his brother Su Zhe, who was demoted to Leizhou. My brother chose a day to go boating in Luohu lake. He was attracted by the beautiful scenery of Luohu lake. He did not want to return home. After that, he went to Tianning Temple on the lakeside to have a rest. Su Cheng is still full of fun. The four words "the first mountain" were written here and now.

To commemorate the two great writers of the Soviet Union, Leizhou people changed Luohu into the West Lake and built pavilions to commemorate them. Although the name of the pavilion has been changed many times over the past 400 years, the meaning of remembering Su Gong remains the same. Su Gong Pavilion is the basic structure of reconstruction in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. Many eunuchs and scholars in the past dynasties wrote antithetical inscriptions at the gate, lintel and corridor of pavilions, such as "clouds embracing the stars", "deep fish music", "natural course", "thousands of miles of official travel to the sea, the general rural scenery remembering Hangzhou" and other lintel plaques and couplets. In the early Qing Dynasty, Chen Yu, governor of Fujian Province and governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Province, was a native of Leizhou. He wrote a poem: "to be a courtier, to travel the same way, to be a difficult brother and a difficult brother at the end of the world. His neighbor has already been Dai Hongen, and his banishment place is still Tang Di Rong. Looking to the north, the mountains rise face to face, and the waves float to the south to meet the balance. I'll do my best to leave here. I'll pay my respects to anyone.
