Qingbo gate is one of the Xicheng gates, which is close to the southeast of the lake. It is named after "Qingbo" and has been used throughout the dynasties. Because Liufu underground ditch leads the lake water into the city, it is commonly known as the secret gate. There are many historic sites in the area of qingbomen. Historically, it used to be the residence of poets, poets, calligraphers and painters. Because the gate leads to Nanshan, most people need firewood to transport in from this gate. Therefore, there is a folk saying that "chaidaner outside qingbomen". In the 10th year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty, Taiping Army dug a tunnel to break the wall of qingbomen and entered Hangzhou. In the second year of the Republic of China, Hangzhou began to demolish the city. After the demolition of "Qiying", the three gates of Qingbo, Yongjin and Qiantang and the city wall were demolished and rebuilt into Nanshan Road and Hubin Road. In order to make the later generations understand the changes of the city, an inscription was set up on the site.

brief introduction

Qingbomen was built in the 28th year of Shaoxing (1158) in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is one of the four gates in the west city. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Qianhu gate, one of the four city gates near the lake, was abandoned, while only Qingbo gate, Yongjin gate and Qiantang gate existed in the west city. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, qingbomen became the only channel for people to go in and out of the southwest of the city. After the revolution of 1911, qingbomen was destroyed in the process of demolishing the city and building roads. The former site of qingbomen in the south of the intersection of qingbomen street and Nanshan Road has long disappeared in the dust of history, leaving only such a place name for people to hang on to. Gao Zhu of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote in "on the lake in the spring day": "when the boat is released outside the Qingbo gate, the sun is light and cold, and I love the guest's clothes. Flowers laugh, people talk, willow wall shadow, swallow fly. When the wind blows in the morning, the pear is thin, and when the rain falls at night, the shepherd's purse is fat. It's better to remember the old mountain and spring, and come at night to send the dream back. " It depicts the attractive scenery around qingbomen at that time. Now we can only imagine it in words. In the old days, poets, CI poets, Essayists and painters gathered around qingbomen. The old house of Zhang Xian (ziye), a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, is in Liuzhou, outside the gate of Qingbo. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhou Wei lived in the south of Qingbo gate, and his collection of notes was also called Qingbo magazine. Zhou Mi, who wrote "old stories in Wulin", also lives nearby. Liu Songnian, one of the four great painters in the Southern Song Dynasty, was called "secret Liu" because he lived in qingbomen.

On the lake in spring by Gao Zhu

When the boat was released outside the Qingbo gate, it was as cold as day. Laughter under the flowers, people talk together, willow masts shadow swallow fly.

When the wind blows in the morning, the pear is thin, and when the rain falls at night, the shepherd's purse is fat. It's better to remember the old mountain and spring, and to send the dream back at night. "

The monk sent "tell my heart" with Baoyue mountain

Qingbo has light clothes outside the gate, and poplars send each other off. The West Lake is also in the Spring Festival Gala, and the water trees are in disorder, and the warblers are crowing.

Close the courtyard, water curtain curtain curtain, late early return. The bell is far away, the fragrance of Zhuan is just on, and the moon is at the gate.
