Jinshan Park, Zhenjiang, China

Jinshan is located in the northwest of the city, 44 meters high, 520 meters around, three kilometers away from the city center. In ancient times, Jinshan was an island standing in the middle stream of the Yangtze River. It was known as "a lotus in the middle of the river" for a long time. It was not until the reign of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty that it began to connect with the land on the south bank, so "riding a donkey to Jinshan" was once popular. Jinshan is a beautiful scenic spot in China since ancient times.

Jinshan has many names since ancient times. The ancients compared the Yangtze River to the perfume sea, comparing the mountain to the seven Jinshan in Huayan Jing, so it is called Jinshan. There is another saying in the book of nine regions written by Wang Cun of the Song Dynasty: Fa Hai, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, came here to repair the temple for his son. He cut through thorns and thorns in the mountains every day and dug gold one day. Li Qi, a local official, rebelled against the emperor. The emperor ordered that gold be handed over to Fahai for temple restoration, and the mountain was named Jinshan. In addition, Jinshan was once called Zexin mountain, Fuyu mountain, Huofu mountain, Longyou mountain, Zijin Mountain, etc. The name of Jinshan is related to Jinshan Temple, which is built cleverly according to the mountain and has a unique architectural style. There are many buildings in the back of the temple, and the pavilions and pavilions are connected layer by layer. The mountain and the temple are integrated to form a group of ancient buildings. The scenery is spectacular and magnificent, forming a unique style of "temple wrapped mountain". Since the Song Dynasty, there has been a saying in Beijing that "Jinshan Temple wraps the mountain, Jiaoshan mountain wraps the temple.".

Jinshan is also known as "myth mountain". Every historic site on the mountain has charming myths, legends and stories. This is the origin of the well-known Chinese classical myth "the legend of the White Snake", which is widely spread among the people and adds a very charming color to this famous city. In the novel Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan, Yue Fei visited the Jinshan historic site "Qifeng Pavilion", which has a pleasant scenery. In the chapter novel water margin, Zhang Shun lies in Jinshan Temple in the night, and Song Jiang takes Runzhou city (that is, today's Zhenjiang City) wisely. Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty visited Jinshan many times and left many "imperial" cultural relics. There are many folk tales about Qianlong in Jinshan, which makes Jinshan more famous. Poets, calligraphers, celebrities, such as Bai Juyi, Li Bai, Zhang Hu, sun bream, Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi, Shen Tuo, Fan Zhongyan, Zhao Meng, Wang Yangming, etc. visited the scenic spots, leaving many precious relics and popular chants. Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been an endless stream of international friends and tourists. Yang xuezhou, a Japanese painting monk in the Ming Dynasty, lived in Jinshan for two and a half years. He painted "the picture of Jinshan Longyou temple in the middle of Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty" and other paintings about Jinshan, which are now preserved in the temple.

Jinshan, a green snail like hill, contains a lot of romantic past events and has infinite charm, attracting numerous Chinese and foreign poets and tourists. Some people say that "if you don't go to Jinshan in Zhenjiang, you've never been to Zhenjiang". This has its own truth. When you visit Jinshan, you will understand the mystery.
