Mission Hills Pavilion is a palace building in the middle of the lake. This is the place where the Han family enjoyed flowers and waves in the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Shichun, the eight great talents of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, was once a guest of Han Dynasty after he was banished to Pingliang, an ancient book. He often talked with others and recited poems. He wrote a poem entitled "Look at the Lotus in Liuhu Lake", which goes like this:
The emperor's grandson, Tai Xie, was resting on the edge of the city and invited guests to reopen the banquet of brocade rust. flower
The bottom fish swims on the green barrier, and the flowing pond clouds hold the blue sky.
The clear waves are swaying with the wind, and the crimson hall is facing the sun.
I'm glad to receive the banquet and taste it, but I don't want to take a bath.
Heirs and sages.
In winter, in the midst of ice and snow, I feel the wonder of nature and have a sense of beauty of harmony between heaven and earth.
Liu Hu Qing Xue
Liuhu Lake is a famous natural landscape garden in Longdong, which forms a unique landscape with "willows in the lake". If you stroll along the stone steps, you will find Liu Yin lush, beautiful lakes, patchwork flower beds, exquisite pavilions and rowed boats, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. In the late spring, catkins float lightly and pervade the lake willow, which is known as "the clear snow in Liuhu Lake" and is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Pingliang. Maoliu is covered by rain and smoke, and the blue lake is reflected in the sky. Spring is green and the snow is good.
There are clear waves and warm springs in winter.
In the past, the vassal was the government, but now the public can relax.
Harmony and prosperity add a new scene, and watching the famous dragon garden shows its beauty.
Chen Geng Ya, a famous reporter from Shanghai Shenbao 65438-0934, once made a year's investigation in the northwest, during which he wrote brilliantly.
Investigation in Northwest China, serialized in major newspapers and periodicals all over the country, caused a sensation because of its keen tentacles and vivid realism. He also came to Pingliang for an interview and wrote the article Pingliang, the first city in Longdong, describing the economic, people's livelihood and landscape education of Pingliang at that time, and also wrote Liuhu Lake. Although the text is short, it is quite memorable. In his article, he wrote:
Pingliang scenery includes Liu Hu Park, Kongtong Mountain and Longwang Temple (Long Yin Temple). Liu Hu is below the northern city. It used to be Liu Hu Academy, but now it is the school building of the Seventh Division (Pingliang Normal School), and the service road has also been there. See the word "Liu Hu" on the garden gate (the school gate). There is a couplet saying "People rest in Liu Bian" and the left saying "Spring comes to the lake". The original author of Biography of Liu Hu Academy is Zuo. There are Han Xu Pavilion and Yule Pavilion. In the park, you can sit down and rest. The scenery is beautiful, and Liuye Lake is the best. There are dozens of weapons in front of the garden, with springs gurgling from the ground and green leaves in the middle, as big as bananas, drifting with the tide, both in winter and summer.
This passage was probably published in a big newspaper in China, and the earliest report about Pingliang Liuhu Lake was more than 70 years ago. seven
Although Liuhu Lake more than ten years ago and Liuhu Lake today are not what they used to be, there are still two original features. These two features are "six colors of lake light" and "Di Zi" as Mr. Chen Geng Cliff said.
A gurgling spring.
I graduated from primary school and passed the registration examination, and was admitted to Pingliang Teachers College in the early 1950s. Because Pingliang Normal School is located on the lakeside of Liu Hu, it has formed an indissoluble bond with Liuhu Lake, which is characterized by "Liuhu light" and "flowing spring water".
I still remember when I was studying in Liuhu Lake, the middle of the lake was covered with reeds more than one person tall. In summer, among the reeds, there are not only frogs ringing day and night, but also a kind of gray duckling flapping its tender wings and flying around on the water. Among the reeds, between reed leaves, there is a kind of fruit like red fluff, which is a ball with only a dark red tip, swaying on the reed with the wind. We call it "Mulaju". "Mulazhu" is a good medicine for knife wound and a filling material for pillow core. It is very effective to apply it to the wound to stop bleeding. When it is used to fill the pillow core, it is easy to fall asleep and refresh your mind. With this magical effect, every summer, students take off their coats and go down to the lake to pick them hand in hand. At this time, there will always be slippery eels shaking their heads and tails among the reeds. People who don't know the eel mistakenly think it is a water snake, screaming and running around, splashing their eyes. There is an expert who knows about eels, and that is the music teacher Hong Yunchan. He stood on the shore and calmly ordered, "Don't be afraid, it's not a snake, it's an eel. Four pieces of paper, grab it! Catch it! " No matter how sleek the eel is, it can't escape from the crowd after all. The eel was caught. It is more than two feet long, and its trunk-like body is covered with grease. Teacher Hong had an idea. He straightened the eel with two pins and nailed it to a small board. He cut the eel with a blade. When President Taifu saw this, he was extremely opposed, because he taught biology and was an animal protector. He criticized Mr. Hong for "killing life". But Mr. Hong is a gourmet. In less than an hour, he came out from home with a plate of "Braised Monopterus albus" and enthusiastically let everyone try it with chopsticks. No one in Pingliang has eaten eel, but some people.
I shook my head and stepped back. Someone stood up and studied it carefully. I got up the courage to take a bite, which was delicious.
When I was studying in the lake, what impressed me most was Mr. Hong's "Monopterus albus" and his body.
Teacher Liu's cold bath in winter.
At six o'clock in the morning in winter, students will get up and do morning exercises. At this time, the stars are still hanging in the sky, and there are still leaves on the willows.
The light has fallen, and the morning light and moonlight shed a faint green light from the sparse trees. Coupled with the slightly whistling north wind, the winter morning is really cold. After the wake-up bell rang, we shivered and carried the washbasin to the water stove to wash our faces. There are many people in the queue, and sometimes the people behind can't get water. In order to do exercises on time, they had to turn around and scoop up warm spring water. Warm spring is in the warm spring pavilion, called the pavilion. In fact, it is a big tile house near the root of Nanshan city wall, with doors and windows in front and doors and windows inside.
There is a stone tablet in the pool with the word "warm spring" on the left seal. The inscription "Pingliang is cold, spring is very cold, only warm, and winter is not ice" is engraved below the stone tablet. Finger-thick streams gush from the cracks in the gravel at the foot of the mountain all the year round, and when they drip into the holding pool, they are still emitting slight heat. Leader of Taiwan Province has measured its water temperature, and it still reaches 17℃ in the dead of winter. But when we picked him up to wash his face in the morning, it was already -20℃ and it was already frozen outside. If we want to wash our face with the spring water here, we are just helpless and afraid of being late for punishment, but there is danger. Just as I was shaking to scoop water, I was shocked by the scene in front of me, which was an exercise scene I had never encountered before I was thirteen years old. I saw Mr. Liu of sports, leading several volleyball players, standing in two rows face to face, naked and wearing only shorts, taking a cold bath in the pavilion in the weather of MINUS 20℃. Mr. Liu is over forty years old, but still
Standing with a few boys in their late teens, pouring cold water with only a dozen degrees overhead, the water was rolling with snow-white spray under their feet. Their developed chest muscles were shaking, shouting loudly, panting and laughing. Teacher Liu saw me and shouted, "Come on, little guy, take off your cotton-padded clothes. Come on, it's very comfortable. " I trembled, my teeth rattled, and I fled in panic. 、
These vivid memories have passed for more than 50 years. Today, I have changed from a teenager in Liu Hu as a student to a 60-year-old old man, but Liu Hu has become more beautiful and younger. Now, there are many pavilions, thousands of hectares of water and days, winding paths leading to a secluded place, and emerald green is intoxicating. Whenever I see young men and women immersed in laughter and sitting on colorful yachts, I can't help but think of the old days when they were boating and singing freely on bright and colorful lakes. Now, although the warm spring water is no longer gurgling like before, the lake is expanding eastward. The newly-built Liu Hu Academy is magnificent, the watchtower towering above the ancient city wall is magnificent, and the whole Liuhu School is full of vitality and unique style. However, both Mr. Hong and Mr. Liu from Leader of Taiwan Province and the famous Chen Geng Ya are long gone. What would they think if they knew something underground and saw Liu Hu today?
