Eight Scenes of Xichuan

Eight Scenes of Xichuan 》The name of "is derived from the famous person Wang Yucheng in the Song Dynasty.". In the time of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, Wang Chu knew Huangzhou. Because of the beautiful scenery of Muqi River, I came to the city to see things and visit places of interest. I chanted the sentence "Eight Scenes of Xichuan". According to the Old News Record of Hubei, "the scenery was praised for eight genera (Sanhuang, Liangqi, Ma, Luo, Guang) because the governor wrote poems at that time", which greatly increased the reputation of Xichuan. Although thousands of years have passed and the landscape has changed, the scenic spots can still be pursued.
Blue clear and rainy
Its scenic spots are today Lanxi Jiangkou is famous for its comments and stone carvings by Lu Yu, the "third spring in the world", and its poems by poets of all ages.
Back to the blue on the stone wall
The scenic spot is at the Nanmen Estuary on the lower right side of the Confucian Temple. There are stones crossing the river to form a torrent. The word "torrent" is inscribed on it. According to the "Old Annals", "The stone inscription was engraved by Su Dongpo. There is' Huilan Pavilion 'on it, which has been abandoned for a long time." The autumn moon scenic spot of Longtan is located in the Old Dragon Cave. According to the "Brief Annals of Xishui County", "The old dragon cave is commonly known as the dragon pool, which is on the south bank not far downstream of the Confucian Temple. There is a stone wall standing on the side of the pool, and an ancient cave underneath. It is unfathomable. It often hugs and puffs with geomantic omen and sounds like a drum, so it is called the Drum Stone. It is said that Su Dongpo once went boating here. It is inscribed with the words' strike the sky and bright '(breaking through the clear river in the moonlight). On the stone on the north bank, there are three characters inscribed, "Liu Liu Guang", which are all written in the Chinese language of "Red Cliff Fu". There are pavilions in the old The famous scholar in the Jingling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty passed the Qi River in Yuanchun and the famous scholar in Huangmei went to the Longtan to look for the stone written by Su Duanming (Su Shi is a scholar in Duanming Hall), "Strike the Kongming". There is an old style poem: "The river is windy and calm, and the summer water is silent. The boat is not lazy, and the stone calendar is the same. The three words on the stone are cold, and the moss is not eaten..." It is about sailing to win.
Sunset on the Phoenix Summit
Scenic spots in“ Fengqi Mountain ”, now located in Xishui Experimental High School in school. According to the Annals of the Ming Dynasty, "The mountain is located two miles east of Qishui County, and it is often said that the mountain is named after the phoenix." But there are different legends about the name of "Fengqi Mountain". According to the "Brief Annals of Xishui County", "It is said that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling, who once served as the order of Jiangzhou, abandoned the official to practice Taoism (known as" Tianshi Zhang ") and once refined pills in the cave at the foot of Yutai Mountain. Three people have become successful. One of them is chicken food, which turns into a phoenix. It flies in this mountain and is named 'Fengqi Mountain'. At the foot of the mountain, there was a three character stone inscription written by Su Shi, "The phoenix perches on the stone." During the Cultural Revolution, this stone was destroyed, and today people imitate the original stone.
Lvyang Chunxiao
Scenic spots in Jumping Dragon Gate Side moat (the river water comes from Xiongjia Lake and flows out of Xi River). The bridge is named because of the green poplar hanging down. This bridge is close to the city and beside the country. It is close to the mountain and across the water. Tourists come here to wash away the hustle and bustle of the city, feel the tranquility of the scenery and add elegance.
Su Shi Comes to Qi
Su Shi came to Qi and wrote a poem titled "The Moon on the West River": "The sun shines over the field and the waves are shallow, the sky is warm and the sky is warm. I am drunk and sleepy with grass before the mud gets rid of the arrogance of the white jade. Unfortunately, a stream of wind and moon can't be taught to break Qiong Yao. When Anying sleeps on the Green Yang Bridge, Du Yu hears the spring dawn." Just because of a new poem by a great writer, it tells us about a fairyland suspected of being immortal, which has aroused the poetic and picturesque feelings of future tourists.
The poem "Green Yang Bridge" written by Wang Yizhu, a scholar at Huanggang in the Ming Dynasty, said: "The willows hang down in a quiet shape, and people cross the stone bridge. The lofty and lofty customs are not for the purpose of understanding the saddle and labor." It is based on the original meaning of Su's words. Gu Jingxing, a famous scholar in Qichun of the Qing Dynasty, wrote the poem "Looking for the Green Yang Bridge" (note: at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the bridge did not exist, so it was said to "look for"): "Du Yu's voice is heard when things are going on in the past. Who sleeps on the bridge and stands on the moon is inclined to be a wine flag wind. There are no old trees on the old embankment, but new clusters in the wild shops. The past is known, and the brooks are everywhere.".
Yutai Danjing
The scenic spot is in Yutai Mountain. According to the "Unified Annals of the Qing Dynasty", its mountain is on the southeast corner of Qishui County, which is the commanding height of the whole city. It is named because it produces white stones like jade. It is said that Tianshi Zhang of the Han Dynasty came here to dig a hole and open a well to make pills. Later generations called the hole "Immortal Cave" and the well "Dan Well". Zhang Shishengyong, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem about climbing Yutai Mountain: "The winding water is surrounded by battlements, and the smoke is shining in the sky. The distant mountains are hung with rain at dusk, and the birds are singing with spring flowers. There is no trace of the well, the stone path of the cave entrance is oblique, and the Dan has turned into a phoenix. Where can I find the immortal raft?" In the 18th year of Shunzhi's reign (1661), the foundation was built in the middle of the mountain by blasting stones, and two large school buildings and canteens were built, called "Yutai Academy". Tan Yuanchun studied here. In the tenth year of Qianlong's reign (1745), the number of school buildings was increased and changed to "Qiyang Academy". As soon as children in the county enter the academy, their status will be doubled.
Later, the people in the county raised funds to build the "Spring Dawn Pavilion" on the top of the mountain, recording the anecdote of the literary giant Su Shi's visit to Qi. When the pavilion was completed, Shao Yinglong, a famous scholar of the city, wrote a poem to congratulate: "In those days, the scenic spots had been ruined for a long time, and the beautiful pavilion was now a new one. The mountains on all sides were green, and the streams on half a bay were full of fish scales..." Yang Jijing, a scholar of the city, and Gong Zhilu, the envoy (when Gong was the governor of Qizhou), decided to finish the title of "Chunxiao Pavilion".
Luyu Tea Spring Right army pen marsh
According to the "Interesting Tales on Place Names in Hubei", "In the sun of Fengshan Mountain, the yin of the temple is the spring for Lu Yu to cook tea; in the yin of Fengshan Mountain, it is the spring for Yishao to wash pens. The water of Wang and Lu both comes from a stream." Yang Jijing also quoted the poem: "The water of Lanxi Stone is the clearest, and the Lanxi Stone was the brightest last month. There is Lu Yu behind Xi in front of it, and there is no competition for water and moon here." The author also notes that this poem shows that Xibi Spring and Lu Yu Spring are together.
