1. Poems about Jinan
Pearl Spring Qianlong
There are many famous springs in Jinan, which are collected by Yueyin water.
The biggest among them are Baotu and Pearl.
Baotu is already in good condition. With a little help,
Pearls are good at nature and create a surprising area.
Seventy-two Zhuoguan, branching into Daming Lake,
Several songs circle the Qiongfang, and one pool reflects the sparse flowers.
It can purify one's mind and discern one's eyebrows and beards.
The round flow is pregnant with spirit, and the particles are spinning around each other.
At first glance, it is like crossing the sea and Qiao, and the sharks hold out the rest.
It is also like facing Ming Bo, showing all the directions three or five times.
I wrote a poem about Lin Yang and Yao, and paid attention to things.
I am here in the late spring, and the farmers are making new crops.
Those who look at this Peng Peng are delighted to see it trickling down like this.
And the holy words are fulfilled, both near and far are moistened. 2. Poems describing Jinan

Lotus flowers are on four sides and willows are on three sides. One city is full of mountains and half is a lake. A cold spring recommends autumn chrysanthemums. , the earliest poet in Jinan who painted a boat wearing lotus flowers at midnight, is not the doctor Tan Guo who was selected into the "Book of Songs" three thousand years ago, but should be Shun, the people's leader in the Longshan Culture era four thousand years ago.
In the late Neolithic period, at the beginning of the formation of the country, the Qilu land around Mount Tai was the settlement of the ancient Dongyi people. Shun, who was born in Zhufeng (now Zhucheng), lived in Mount Li (now Qianfo Mountain in Jinan). He worked in the fields and then gradually moved westward. He once fished in Leize (now Heze) and made pottery in Hebin (now the old path of the Yellow River in northwest Henan). Finally, he was selected by Emperor Yao in Pangze Zhiyang (now north of Kaifeng City, Henan). And the Zen Emperor is located in him. According to historical records, Shun's mother died young and was abused by her stepmother, but she remained filial.
Later, he returned to Mount Li to visit the tomb and played the song "Missing Family". "Beyond the Lishan Mountains, Cui Wei... My parents are far away and I will return home safely?" When this lyric was recorded in the book "Qin Cao" in the Han Dynasty, it had been passed down by qin masters for two thousand years, so its lyrics may have There are misrepresentations and distortions.
The famous "Song of the Southern Wind" is also said to have been composed by Shun: "The smoke of the south wind can relieve the anger of our people..." Although it was recorded for a longer time than "Missing Family" It is about 500 years later, but its style is also influenced by the works of the Warring States Period.
However, the "Shu Jing Gao Tao Mo" (Shu Jing Gao Tao Mo), which was passed down simultaneously by Confucian and Mohist schools (later divided into two chapters "Gao Tao Mo" and "Yi Ji"), contains internal records of Shun and his ministers singing harmony. The poem was the earliest recorded. Although it is only two or three sentences, it should be close to the real situation. Shun was not only a poet, but also the founder of my country's earliest poetic theory. In "Shu Jing·Yao Qu", it is recorded that Shun said to Kui, the minister of music, that "poems express aspirations, songs speak forever, and sounds last forever." , rhythm and harmony."
From then on, the three words "poem expresses ambition" were regarded as the standard in later literary treatises, which had a huge influence. The influence of Shun is even more evident in Jinan's numerous relics.
The most famous and oldest of the "Seventy-two Famous Springs" is Shun Spring, which is the Shun Well that he left behind when he dredged the well. The famous ancient geographical work "Shui Jing Zhu" records that there is Shun Temple in Lishan Mountain and Shun Spring below. In the Tang Dynasty, it was clearly located in today's Shunjing Street. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, many poets have written about Shun Spring, among which the most famous For Ouyang Xiu, Su Che and others.
"Shui Jing Zhu" also records that there was a shrine for Princess E of Shun on the bank of Baotu Spring, and the stream formed by the spring was named E Ying River. "Shui Jing Zhu" is a work written in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was 1,500 years ago. The names of rivers recorded in the ancestral temples were probably in the Qin and Han Dynasties or earlier.
In addition, there is also the "Twin Girls Spring" in Xiguan, Jinan, which also commemorates the two concubines of Shun (disappeared after the late Qing Dynasty). About Lishan, also known as Shunshan, it is also the object of praise by historical literati. The earliest one was the "Shunshan Poetry" written by Wei Shu, a famous scholar in the Northern Dynasties and the author of "Book of Wei".
The "Qin Cao" mentioned above was written by Cai Yong, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cai's maternal ancestor was a Taiyang family, and he once lived in the Taishan area. Therefore, this book contains many lyrics from the Taishan area in Jinan, which can represent Jinan's poetry style.
In particular, Cao Cao was once the king of Jinan, and his son, the poet Cao Zhi, was the king of Dong'a (his tomb is Dong'a). At that time, Dong'a, where the royal palace was located, was now included in Pingyin County.
Cao Zhi was able to get in touch with Indian culture on Yushan here and created a new poetry style "Yushan Ming" (also known as "Yushan Fan"). This was the beginning of the emphasis on flat and oblique rhythms in the history of Chinese poetry. . Most of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an" led by Cao's father and son were also born in the area around Jinan.
In the Tang Dynasty, before the Anshi Rebellion, Jinan was a place where poets gathered. In addition to the locally born Cui Rong, the great poets Li Bai and Du Fu, the two brilliant stars in the Chinese poetry world, had also contributed to Jinan. The landscape is intoxicating. Li Bai visited Queshan Lake and Hua Bu Zhu, and wrote a famous poem with high spirits; Du Fu and the great calligrapher Li Yong drank and composed poems in Lixia Pavilion, and wrote "This pavilion on the right side of the sea is ancient, and there are many famous people in Jinan". Good verses that have been passed down through the ages.
After the Song Dynasty, Jinan has produced numerous poets, such as the "Queen of Poetry" Li Qingzhao. It is said that her former residence was by the Catkin Spring, and she once expressed the scenery of Xiting Spring in the word "Ru Meng Ling"; Xin Qiji, who defected to the Southern Song Dynasty because of his resistance to the Jin Dynasty, is said to have his former residence in the Dianliu area of ??Licheng. During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Jinan produced several outstanding sanqu composers such as Du Renjie (from Changqing), Liu Minzhong (Zhangqiu), and Zhang Yanghao (Licheng).
The achievements of the Ming Dynasty were even more brilliant. The "First Seven Sons" who appeared in the national poetry circle at that time, Bian Gong of Jinan, were the backbone figures. The leader of the "Later Seven Sons" who achieved greater success was Li Panlong of Jinan.
In addition, the dramatist Li Kaixian (Zhangqiu) and the famous poet Yu Shenxing (Dong'a, now classified as Pingyin) also wrote songs with their generous or beautiful poems. Mingquan's poems. In the Qing Dynasty, Wang Ping of Licheng was famous as "Wang Huangye" in the poetry circle.
Wang Shidan, a generation leader of poetry and a master of the Shen Yun School (a native of Xincheng, Jinan Prefecture, which is now part of Zibo City) invited talented people and beauties from home and abroad to compose poems at the Tianxin Water Pavilion in Daming Lake. "Autumn Willow" consists of four songs with seven rhythms. Soon it spread all over the country, and its authors, including Gu Yanwu, and other celebrities from all over the world came one after another.
Pu Songling (a native of Zichuan County, Jinan Prefecture, which is now Zibo City), a novelist at the same time as Wang, also wrote the famous "Ode to Baotu Spring".
Spring City gave birth to poets, and poets also loved famous springs. They not only wrote about it with the pen of Shenghua, but also named their collection of poems after the spring water. It is called "Huaquan Collection", while Wang Ping's poetry collection expresses his feelings in "Twenty-Four Springs Thatched Cottage".
Poets who lived in Jinan after Li Du, such as Ouyang Xiu in the Song Dynasty, wrote "Poetry on Shun's Spring"; Zeng Gong not only built Lishan Hall in memory of Shun, but also wrote poems such as "Golden Thread Spring" ; Su Shi sang the famous line "Jinan has good spring, snow has first cleared"; Su Zhe wrote "Trying the Tea Spring" and other poems "Ugly Nuer·Thousands of Peaks and Clouds Rising" "Thousands of peaks and clouds rise, and a sudden rain comes." Price. The sun is setting over the trees further away, and the scenery is like a picture.
There is no one else on the other side of the mountain, but there is nothing to do when I wake up in the afternoon. The bamboo windows are full of charm.
The wild birds are flying in, but the white gulls are looking at people, but they are still here.
, I’m new here, don’t say anything.” 2 Li He’s poem “Dream Sky” says, “Looking at Qizhou’s nine-point smoke, a cup of sea water pours down.” 3 A clear spring with catkins blooming, and the old house is rustling, but the sun is setting; the romance is not alone. The poets are gone, the gold and stones are scattered, and they are gradually dying.

The poem "Dream Sky" by Li He, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said: "Looking at Qizhou's nine-point smoke, a sea of ??water pours down from the cup." This is where "Qizhou's nine-point smoke" comes from. The poem evolved. "Qizhou" in the poem originally refers to China. People in the Qing Dynasty borrowed this poem to describe Jinan's mountain scenery because Jinan was called Qizhou in ancient times.
Haiyou Ancient Pavilion - Lixia Pavilion is located on the largest island among the islands on the surface of Minghu Lake. It has gone through many changes over the years. It is tall and dignified, simple and elegant, with red pillars, green tiles, and octagonal eaves. There are Du Fu's quatrains embedded in the pavilion: This pavilion on the right side of the sea is ancient, and there are many famous people in Jinan.

Jinan has been a scenic spot since ancient times, especially famous for its spring water and weeping poplar trees. "Every house has spring water and every household has weeping poplar trees." It's as if all the auras in the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers are dedicated to this place.
In the southwest of the old city of Lixia, there is a dendrobium spring water, which gushes from the ground and collects into a pool. There are weeping willows beside the pool. When the breeze blows over the Buddha, the catkins are fluttering everywhere, which is a wonder, so it is called "Catkin Spring". There is a house with dozens of couplets beside the spring. Li Qingzhao, the famous Chinese poet, was born here.
Later, Gao Zhaiyang and Liao Bingkui both wrote poems praising the historic site of "Catkin Spring":
A clear spring with catkins blooming, and the former residence is desolate but the setting sun shines;
Romance not only dies the poets, but also the gold and stones drift away.
From Longtan in the west to Baoquan in the east, beautiful talents live here;
The passing smoke and clouds are recorded in gold and stone, and every year is the spring breeze.
Don’t lose the tooth wisdom of your predecessors, compose new words every word;
A cold spring divides the catkins, and the petals are fragrant to offer to the lotus root god. 6. Poems from Jinan

When I wake up from drunkenness in the afternoon, the pine windows and bamboo doors are filled with all kinds of charm. Wild birds fly in, and it’s normal leisure again.
