Introduction of Babel Pavilion attractions:
Just as Tiger Hill is to Suzhou and Wu Ting Bridge is to Yangzhou, Babao Pavilion is a symbol of Baoying. It's a pity that Baoying didn't go to Babao Pavilion. In the 30th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (155 1), Yue Dongsheng, a magistrate of a county, dug up the Baode River and erected a monument and pavilion beside the river to commemorate the real treasure. Qing Daoguang studied it twice in the early years of the Republic of China. During the Republic of China, Babel Pavilion was used as a reading room. In the 1950s, it was used as a private residence. 1983 The imitation prototype was rebuilt in Zongba Garden. The pavilion is square, with glazed tile roof and sharp corners, with a height of 5 meters, a perimeter of 12 meters and an area of 100 square meters. Inscribed by Zhao Puchu, a famous contemporary calligrapher. In the original pavilion, the remains of the thirty-year monument of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty and the inscription of Daoguang Pavilion in the Republic of China were also moved to the side of the pavilion, and the new inscription recorded the beginning and end of the reconstruction of Babao Pavilion.
Babel Pavilion is now located in Zongyuan, downtown. Turned into ordinary bricks. High-tile garden gate, walk through the flagstone road with weeping willows, and step on the small bridge with trickling streams, so that Babao Pavilion with upturned cornices can leap into your eyes. From a distance, Mr. Zhao Puchu's inscription "Babao Pavilion" stands out. Climb the stairs and stand in the pavilion. The wind is blowing from all directions, birds and flowers are singing, and watching the sunrise from a distance is like a fairyland.
As the sun sets, the sunset clouds are all over the sky, and the beautiful images of the Babel Pavilion surrounded by green willows are reflected in the water, swaying up and down, which is quite a bit like the artistic conception of "deep pools hiding ancient temples, clear water turning green".
Picturesque Babao Pavilion is named after a beautiful and magical legend. According to legend, in the mid-Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion led to untold sufferings, and wars in the Central Plains continued. There is a real mud iron who came to Anyi (now Baoying County) in Chuzhou from Gongxian County, Henan Province. One winter night, as if in a dreamland, I suddenly set foot on colorful auspicious clouds and came to the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor summoned her and gave her eight treasures, saying, "The lower world has been in chaos for a long time, killing constantly, and the stench goes straight into the sky. The dam uses magical treasures to suppress evil and rebellion. Here are eight treasures. When you go back, give them to the emperor. In this way, the soldiers can rest and the troubled times can be clear. "
Indeed, this matter was reported to the Secretariat in Xian Cui, and the Secretariat sent someone to investigate it. Just like taking out eight treasures: a day of "wishful beads"; Second, the "red shovel"; Three days of "Langzhu"; "Yuxi" No.4; Five or six are two pairs of "queen picking mulberry hooks"; Seven or eight are two "Leigong stone axes". Eight treasures are placed in the sun, and the white gas penetrates the sky; Put it in a dark room and shine like a bright moon. Xian Cui sent someone to trace the truth. In April (76 1), I went to Chang 'an to see Su Zong. When Su Heng was dying, he saw the treasure, summoned Prince Li Yu, and said, "You are Crown Prince Chu, obviously helping you!" After the death of Su Zong, Li Yu, the successor of Su Zong, changed the year number to the first year of Baoying (762), upgraded Chuzhou to Shangzhou, and changed Yi Anyi County to Baoying County. Since then, within the four seas, the war has gradually subsided and the grain has been abundant; People can live and work in peace and contentment in Hong Kong. Baoying County became King xian county. Interestingly, chess spread to Japan at this time was also called "Baoying chess" by the Japanese. Baoying became famous for a while. Dai Zongdayue built the "Xinyou Temple" and opened the "Debao River" in the south street of Baoying County where Zhenru lived, thanking God for his kindness to Sasuke. At noon during the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty, in order to commemorate the treasures given by the Jade Emperor, the "Babel Pavilion" was built in Nanjie. 1983, Babao Pavilion moved from Xiannan Street to Zongjiao Garden.
"Rebuilding Babao Pavilion" said: "Since the original site is narrow, there is no room for expansion, and there are no traces of Debao River and Xinyi Temple, the pavilion is moved to Zongjiao Garden." The legend of Babel is very nice. In fact, it is a "good show" that people perfunctorily polish. An Shi rebellion; Since the Tang dynasty, there has been no peace, no turmoil and no floating of people's hearts. At this time, Su Zong urgently needed a method acceptable to his subjects to put his son in the right position. Perhaps Chuzhou secretariat is good at trying to figure out the emperor's will, using the old trick of "falling from the sky"; Give the emperor eight treasures, make up a myth and legend, and naturally hit it off. However, ancient historians have seriously searched for a person to go down in history. "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty" said: "The Chu people were sealed by the prince. It is appropriate to build Yuan today, and the first year is the first year of Baoying. " From this point of view, the legend of Babel is not self-evident, no wonder it has been told by Baoying people for thousands of years.
The Babel Pavilion has experienced vicissitudes and is a witness to historical changes. Scholars and poets always pay tribute to this, leaving many poems and songs. Wu Min's Taoist poem in the Ming Dynasty said: "Ten thousand mu of river is dry and beautiful, and it is full of treasures for thousands of years. Every family has to get silkworms and pick mulberry hooks. " "Mulberry picking hook" is one of the eight treasures. Yue Dongsheng, the magistrate of Baoying County in Qing Dynasty, described it this way: "When you pass by this place, you will see clouds and clouds, and the atmosphere is extraordinary, with various colors, either bright as pearls, moist as jade, or colorful interactions, such as purple, yellow, magnificent and old. Hey! This is incredible, incredible, really like in time. "Exaggerated, the scenery really as wonderful as the fairy world.
It is worth mentioning that Babao Pavilion also left the footprints of Premier Zhou's childhood. When I was a child, Premier Zhou took his foster mother, Chen Lai, to visit relatives and read books and newspapers in Babel Pavilion. After liberation, when he met Ambassador Fan Chengzuo (Baoying), he asked about Babao Pavilion.
Historically, Babao Pavilion was a bright pearl on the ancient canal road. Tang Su 'e said in Du Yang Miscellanies; "It's like a treasure house. The river is high and the culture is moist." Baoying Daozhong written by Mei, a poet in the Song Dynasty, is a scene of bumper harvest. "Green old water chestnut leaves, there are countless real sharp. It's not too difficult to make waves. " The description of Qingyi people is fresh and natural: "Wild ducks fly in autumn water, and sellers sell ling in the sunset gate lane", which is a land of fish and rice.
Today's Babel Pavilion is full of legends. The "eight treasures" of water town: lotus root, water chestnut, arrowhead and crab have long been famous at home and abroad. Nowadays, Baoying's "treasures" are far more than "eight treasures", and even several new "treasures" such as "Babao Pavilion" wine, "Five Jin sauce", "Baosheng cable" and "steel cylinder stove" have won the national reputation. Yes, the Babel Pavilion has become a coordinate connecting history and future. The tide of the times has been surging in your Excellency Babel, and Baoying, who has rich materials and outstanding talents, will certainly contribute more "Babel" and write the legend of Babel Pavilion in the new era.
