describe

In ancient times, people used to use the word "Nine" to express the large number of streams. In fact, the streams in this mountain area passed through the forest all the way around the foot, and I don't know how many streams they confluenced. Eighteen streams, originally refers to the source of this mountain stream, the numerous mountain streams and springs in Longjing area. Therefore, the eighteen streams are also the ancient times when people used the multiple of "Nine" to describe the meaning of numerous mountain streams and springs, not only eighteen mountain streams.

Volume 9 of a brief introduction to Hushan in the Qing Dynasty: "Lin'an annals says that Jiuxi is located in the southwest of yanxialing, Tongxu village, out of the river and north to Longjing. According to the stream, it originates from yangmeiwu in Lingxia and flows southwest to Qingwan and Hongfa The village of Daxu is composed of nine rivers, so it is called Jiuxi. " Volume 2 of new records of the West Lake: "the nine schools of water that Jiuxi met were all named Jian at the end of the stream. The mouth of Huixi is only nine. When it passes around the foot of the forest and contains a small stream, it is eighteen times as many as nine. "

Zhang Dai also said: "Jiuxi is in the west of yanxialing and the south of Longjing mountain. Its water buckling migration ring, nine fold out, it is called Jiuxi. Its path is rugged, the vegetation is beautiful, the people are vast, quiet and quiet. It has a unique world and is not human. At the bottom of the stream are eighteen streams, so the place is deep, that is, the stream is not a secular one and cannot live for a long time. According to the records, there are Li Yan temple, Song Yang, Wang Mei Yuan and Mei Hua path in the stream, all of which have disappeared. However, those who are far away, far away from the river, and old at the West Lake have been searching for all the famous scenic spots. When asked about the Jiuxi and eighteen streams, they are all at a loss.

Li Liufang's poem "Eighteen streams"

You start at shibajian, go to the first bridge of Xucun with Mengmin and Wuji, and eat on the bridge.

The stream is murmuring, the mountain is round, and I can't go for a long time. There are also poems of harmony in the boundless world. Forget them.

There is a poem that says: Nine streams and eighteen streams flow everywhere.

I come to the middle of March, and the spring rain stops.

Running thunder and flying graupel are wonderful.

Sitting leisurely to the stream, Kuang to the mountain.

I want to participate in the cloud habitat, which is the extrication method.

It's good for Wang Zi to say that leisure goes out with the water.

Yu Yue, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, described this scene as a "nine streams and eighteen streams" scenic spot only ten miles away from Hangzhou West Lake. He didn't agree with Bai Juyi's praise of the cold spring as "the most beautiful place in Yuhang and the most beautiful place in jialingyin". He said, "Jiuxi and shibajian are the most beautiful places in the West Lake, especially in the cold spring." In addition, he made a unique poem praising Jiuxi

Jiuxi eighteen streams, the most beautiful place in the mountain. I've heard about it for a long time, but now I'm poor and interesting.

Overlapping mountains, winding ring road.

Ding Dong Dong spring, high down the tree.

During the period of the Republic of China, there were two or three private tea houses in Jiuxi eighteen streams, selling tea and supplying lotus root powder and sweet scented osmanthus candy. There are not many tables and chairs in the teahouse. In the spring and Autumn period, tourists use rocks beside the stream as their power. When Yu Dafu visited the West Lake in Hangzhou, he went to a tea pavilion for dinner. Facing the mountains near the water, he got the couplet "three Zhu, six bridges, nine streams and eighteen caves". Now he has not got the next sentence, but it is an interesting story in the literary world. At the end of Qing Dynasty, Lin Shu wrote a famous prose about Jiuxi and shibajian.

Notes on Jiuxi and shibajian

---Lin Shu

After several miles of Longjing mountain, the river is clear and faces the north of Jiuxi. The stream originates from yangmeiwu. The rest started from Longjing. Among the ten thousand mountains in the stream channel, the mountain is not steep, but cut, Heel Toe staggered each other, cangbi can't identify the way. Take the road along the stream, look at the East and hide the west, if there is resistance in front, you can get the road. Before water enters the stream, it is called stream. Jian to 18, several times more than nine also. Yu Yu stops at the stream. If you cross a stream, there will be a big stone flowing through it. Water and stone rush, Puzao dance. The body of the stream is four or five feet wide, the shallow one is JURU, and it runs through the grass; the deeper one is, although there are still sand and stone.

There are many tea trees, maple leaves and pines in the mountain. Passing through the small stone bridge to the road of an Li temple, the stone is particularly strange. The spring sheath begins to melt and moves the top of the rock like an old man's hair. Strange stones folded, hidden from the hillside, if the cabinet, if a few, if the letter letter. That is to say, the forest looks like it, but it has clouds. Rhododendrons are used as flowers to decorate the mountain roads, and the rocks are covered with sunlight. It's already noon.

March 6, the sixth of the year. The tourists are from Wuxiao village, Changle, gaofengqi, Qiantang and Shaobo.

From 1953 to 1959 after the founding of the people's Republic of China, Hangzhou municipal construction department built a pool here and a hydropower station for popular science education for teenagers. The mountain forest environment along Jiuxi eighteen streams was sorted out, the roads were opened to traffic, and the climbing trails and "Wangjiang Pavilion" were built. After 1975, the Department of landscape architecture reconstructed and built Jiuxi restaurant, teahouse and reception room in four phases, sorted out the mountain and forest environment, dredged the spring pool, built the dam, painted the bridge, laid the footpath, built the pavilion and expanded the tourist area.

scenery

Visitors to the Jiuxi tobacco tree must slow down, slow down the mind, leisurely, fine, enjoy the cliffs, haze, green trees, stream sound, bird song, cloud shadow, do not be impatient.

In 1947, Li Siguang, a famous geologist, visited Jiuxi twice to investigate the glaciers and found traces of ancient glaciers. He believed that the West Lake in Hangzhou was still a world of ice and snow in the Quaternary two or three million years ago. At that time, xialongjing was a water storage valley. It suffered a lot of ice and snow and flowed southeast through Jiuxi eighteen streams, forming a dangerous section of Jiuxi eighteen streams. The formation of Jiuxi eighteen streams is due to: shangtianzhu, Shuangfeng, yangmeiling, and hugongmiao. Between them is a basin with lower terrain. Longjing Village, the source of eighteen streams, and yangmeiling village, the source of Jiuxi, are two funnel-shaped basins with huge area. The mountains around the basin are basically composed of sandstone. Only limestone is exposed near Longjing spring in the northeast corner of the basin In yangmeiling village basin, countless small water flows on the slopes of surrounding mountains converge to the central part of the basin, forming a beautiful scenery of "thousands of valleys vie to flow down Jiuxi".

Strictly speaking, "stream in stream" is the confluence point of "Jiuxi" and "shibajian", below which the turbulent Jiuxi river flows into Qiantang River. Both of them originate from the foot of jiguanlong, but one is on the Shandong slope and the other is on the Shanxi slope. "Stream in stream" goes up along the stream to the East, which is called "Jiuxi". The road is full of mountains and old trees. The deep shadow is comparable to that of Tianmu Mountain Nature Reserve. You can reach yangmeiling village along the mountain road.

From the "stream in the stream" to the west along the stream, it is called "Eighteen streams". All the way around, the Qin rhyme of Qingxi is high and low, suddenly and slowly; the shallow flow or detour at the foot of the mountain, or sneak in the rock gap, or overflow on the road, and then from the empty place of the stone, light ups and downs, splashing a small bead of water, sprinkling a string of laughter. The eighteen streams have natural scenery and few craftsmanship. The streams are zigzag due to the mountains, from left to right. Six of them overflow the mountain path, with stone steps on them. Visitors can wade in the stream, or they can walk on the stone. Through the mountain screen, the trees at the mouth of the valley, the sound of chickens and dogs, and the shadow of green tiles and pink walls in the dense forest, the famous tea town Longjing Village is just in front of you. You can experience the scene, and you can feel the feeling of people swimming in the painting.
