Shaoxing Lanting Tour Guide 1 Ladies and gentlemen, the first part of Lanting is Goose Pond. Wang Xizhi's hobby of raising geese is well known, so there is a scene of goose pond in Lanting to commemorate this great calligrapher. It is said that an old man in Yin Shan wanted to ask Wang Xizhi to write a book called Huang Tingjing. He knew that Wang Xizhi liked white geese, so he specially raised a group of lovely white geese. When Wang Xizhi passed by, he saw a white goose with beautiful feathers. He couldn't help but stop and asked to buy a goose. The Taoist priest said, "I don't want money, as long as you write a book called Huang Tingjing. Xihe readily agreed, and the pen disappeared, but after half a day, when it was finished, the Taoist priest had put the goose in a cage. This is the story of White Goose Book. Entering the gate, through the bamboo path and the gurgling stream, a triangular pavilion appeared, engraved with two big characters: "Goose Pond". This is the first stone tablet about Wang Xizhi in Lanting. According to legend, Wang Xizhi was an official in Shaoxing. One day, just as he was writing Goose Pond with great interest, the imperial edict was delivered to him as soon as he finished writing the word "Goose", so Wang Xizhi had to stop writing and kneel down to receive the edict. His son, Wang Xianzhi, picked up a pen and continued to write "Chi". Look at these two words, "goose" is thin and "pool" is fat. This tablet became a famous "father-son tablet" in the history of calligraphy.
After Goose Pond Three stacked stone, it is Xiaolan Pavilion. There is a stone tablet in the pavilion. The inscription of Lanting was written by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty. The inscription was slightly flattened by many tourists, so this monument is called "military and civilian monument". Lanting was destroyed by the war, and the monument was smashed into three pieces. Although it has been repaired, there are still signs of damage, among which the word "Lan" lacks the tail and the word "Pavilion" lacks the head, but the ancient rhyme still exists. Lanting is not a pavilion, but a place name. According to legend, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, planted bluegrass here in the Spring and Autumn Period, and built a post pavilion in the Han Dynasty, from which the famous Lanting City came. There are seven Lanting pavilions in the world, which are located in Beijing, Ningbo, Taiwan Province and Japan, but the real Lanting pavilion is in Shaoxing.
Lanting in Shaoxing is located at the foot of Zhu Lan Mountain, about 13 km southwest of Shaoxing ancient city. It is a key cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province and one of the main scenic spots in Shaoxing. Because Lanting is located at the junction of Shaoxing Plain, water network zone and hilly area, the landscape of mountains and rivers and the characteristics of water towns have been fully and harmoniously reflected. So as early as 1600 years ago, it was a very famous scenic spot. The reason why Lanting is so famous is entirely due to a historical gathering of romantic figures such as Wang Xizhi, which is also the famous "Yonghe Xiuzuo" in history.
On the third day of March every year, in order to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, the ancients often organized a ceremony to repair ruins by the water, which was also used as a pleasure by the water. On the third day of March in the 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (353), Wang Xizhi invited 42 celebrities, including Xie An, Sun Chuo, Xu Xun and Zhi Dun, to practice here and organize "Qushui Flowing" activities. The meandering water is somewhat similar to the current pass package improvisation entertainment, except that the meandering water is a little more natural and less artificially controlled than we modern people. Who gives the program is completely decided by the running water. There are many "harbor" tunes in the flowing stream. Whoever floats down from the upstream and stops at the "harbor" in front of him must do his own unique skills or pre-agreed procedures. Scholars such as Wang Xizhi agreed that the activity is to improvise poetry, and poetry will not be fined. Among the 42 people who participated in the compilation at that time, Wang Xizhi, Xie An, Xie Wan, Sun Chuo, Xu, Wang Binzhi, Wang, Yuan, etc.1/each composed two songs. Tan, Wang, Hua Mao, Geng You, Xie Yi, Sun Si, Cao Maozhi, Hua Ping, Wang Xuanzhi, Wang Huanzhi, etc. 15 each got one song. Nineteen-year-old Wang Xianzhi and sixteen other people failed to write a poem, and each of them was fined three times for entertainment. Wang Xizhi compiled his poems into a collection, and at the invitation of everyone, he wrote a 324-word preface before the collection, and the world-famous Preface to Lanting was born. Preface to the Collection of Lanting, also known as Preface to Pavilion and Preface to River, is not only brilliant in literary talent, but also superb in calligraphy art. Chu Suiliang, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, called it "the best running script in the world", and Lanting has therefore become a pilgrimage site for calligraphers and calligraphy lovers in past dynasties, as well as other literati and scholars, and a famous garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Lanting is a small place, but it is very elegant. The main landscape buildings are Goose Pool Monument, Lanting Monument, Qushui Liu Yi, Shangliu Pavilion, Royal Monument Pavilion, Youjun Temple and Calligraphy Museum.
Goose Pond Monument is a triangular stone building. The word "goose pond" on the tablet is said to have been written by Wang Xizhi's father and son, and is also a famous calligrapher, which makes the tablet worth a hundred times. It is said that when Wang Xizhi was writing the word "Goose Pool", he had just finished writing the word "Goose" when he heard the voice of accepting the imperial edict. Of course, the local right army general Wang Xizhi did not dare to neglect, and immediately stopped writing and accepted it. At that time, the one who was watched by his father couldn't help but write a word "stupid". The Goose Pond next to the monument is a memorial building, which not only echoes the Goose Pond Monument from a distance, but also has something to do with Wang Xizhi's lifelong love for geese. Wang Xizhi likes to watch geese, write the word "goose" and raise geese, so there is a story about Wang Xizhi writing the Tao Te Ching for geese. Most places related to Wang Xizhi's memorial have goose pond buildings.
Lanting tablet, also known as Xiao Lanting, is inscribed with the word "Lanting", which was written in the 37th year of Kangxi (1698). There are broken marks in the middle, left during the Cultural Revolution. 1980 when it was restored, there was no small stone tablet between the two words. Although it has always been linked, tourists always feel deep regret. They like to use their own imagination to make up the painting with their fingers. After a long time, the incomplete part in the middle of the word "Lanting" seems to reappear vaguely, and the Lanting monument has also been dubbed as the "military and civilian monument".
Qushui is a winding stream left on the ground, which refers to flowing water. It is a wine glass floating on the meandering water, sitting by the water, singing one song after another, forming a famous meandering water. It can be said that without the winding activities of Wang Xizhi and others at that time, there would be no birth of Preface to Lanting Collection, and of course there would be no name of Lanting now. The winding water should be the soul of Lanting Scenic Area. On the banks of Qushui, there are often quaint and elegant people.
The building facing Qushui is Shangliu Pavilion, which is a place to commemorate Qushui. The present building was built in the Qing Dynasty. There are pictures of Qushui flowing in the pavilion, and there are masterpieces, poems and songs about Qushui flowing in those years.
After Shangliu Pavilion, the Imperial Monument Pavilion is an octagonal double-eaved structure. There is an imperial monument in the pavilion, which is 6.8 meters high, 2.6 meters wide and 20 centimeters thick, and weighs 1.8 thousand kilograms. It is one of the largest ancient stone tablets in China. The front of the tablet is the full text of Preface to Lanting written by Emperor Kangxi, and the back of the tablet is Lanting, which happened when Emperor Qianlong visited Lanting. This monument, like the father-son monument and the military-civilian monument, is called the monument of grandparents and grandchildren, and it is also the "three wonders" of Lanting Scenic Area.
Youjun Temple is in the east of Shangliu Pavilion. The right army shrine is ingenious in structure, surrounded by water, and there is a big hall on the water. There is a corridor in the hall. There is a pool beside the corridor. There is a pavilion in the pool. There is a bridge next to the pavilion. There are five views of heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars in the temple, which can be enjoyed by Mo Bao in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Youjun Temple is often used as a place to hold various commemorative and exchange activities, especially an important place for calligraphy and art exchange.
The Calligraphy Museum is behind the Imperial Monument Pavilion, just opposite the Xiaoxi Stone Bridge. The museum covers an area of 10 mu, and the environment is very quiet. This is a place to show the long history of calligraphy in China and the works of famous Chinese and foreign artists.
Zhang Tian Temple is located at the foot of Zhu Lan Mountain, facing Lanting across the river. Nowadays, Zhang Tian Temple has been destroyed for many years, and few people have made a special trip to visit it, but some professionals and people with special feelings for Lanting still do not forget to visit it on the spot.
Zhang Tian Temple was built in the second year of Daoism from the Northern Song Dynasty (996) and was once a famous temple in Vietnam. Zhang Tian Temple was built much earlier than today's Lanting, which was a part of Lanting architecture at that time. Although Zhang Tian Temple was destroyed, the general trend is still the same. The foundation of the house is complete and the environment is quiet, so it is worth visiting.
Lanting, with its beautiful scenery and elegant environment, is a good place for people to relax. In 1980s, Takayama Tatsuo, an influential top Japanese painter, visited Lanting and came to Shaoxing to sketch. The original three-day trip was extended to seven days, and one day was completely soaked in the grass on the east side of Lanting Goose Pond for half a day. That day, Mr. Gao Shan visited Lanting and said to his entourage, "There is no better place than here. Let's sit quietly and enjoy it. " At first glance, he took a fancy to a small meadow on the east side of Goose Pond and sat on the floor. He had to get up and go back to the hotel until the park closed.
Lanting itself is a very high-grade garden masterpiece and a garden with rich historical and cultural connotations. But for those who visit Lanting, apart from enjoying the landscape of Lanting, the most fascinating thing is a large number of touching stories outside Lanting architecture.
Shaoxing Lanting Tour Guide 3 "Qushui Flowing" is a very famous scenic spot in Lanting. In front of Shangliu Pavilion, there is a winding water, a piece of wood fossil engraved with the words "meandering water flows". It shows the scene described in Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion: "There are mountains, forests, bamboo pruning, and clear streams, reflecting left and right, thinking that they are flowing." There is a very famous story: In the 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, on the third day of the third lunar month, Wang Xizhi invited ***4 1 celebrities to repair wine in Ji Ya, Lanting. They poured the wine into a glass and let it slowly flow down from the upper reaches of Qushui. If it floats in front of anyone, whoever doesn't do it will have to drink and write poems and be fined three times. During the activity, * * 11each wrote two poems, 15 each wrote1poem, and 16 people were fined for not writing poems. A total of * * * 37 poems were written, which were called "Preface to Lanting Collection" in a book, and the owner Wang Xizhi was recommended.
Every year, many literati come here to imitate Wang Xizhi and Lanting Ji Ya, drinking and writing poems. Every year, the Calligraphy Festival will hold an elegant gathering here. Shangliu Pavilion is a memorial to Qushui and one of the main buildings of Lanting, which was built in Qing Dynasty. The pavilion is surrounded by long wooden windows and surrounded by cloisters outside, which is antique. There is a flowing picture hanging on the wall of the pavilion, which vividly reproduces the scene of Wang Xizhi and others compiling elegant collections. Some of them bowed their heads and meditated, some raised their glasses and drank, and some were drunk, which was amazing. This picture is a fan painting by a painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, which is copied according to the original work. Later, the preface to Lanting Collection was written by Sun Chuo and by Yang Enshu, the magistrate of Shanyin County during Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty.
Lanting in Shaoxing is located at the foot of Zhu Lan Mountain in the southwest of Shaoxing 14 km. It is the residence of Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This area is a scenic spot on Yin Shan Road, with "continuous mountains and rivers, lush forests, bamboo forests, clear streams and swift streams". According to legend, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, planted orchids here in the Spring and Autumn Period, and set up a post pavilion in the Han Dynasty, hence the name Lanting. The current address is rebuilt by Shen Qi, the county magistrate in the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (AD l548). After repeated times, it recovered completely on 1980.
The layout of Lanting is centered on Qushui, surrounded by Goose Pond, Goose Pond Pavilion, Shangliu Pavilion, Xiaolan Pavilion, Yubei Pavilion, Mohua Pavilion and Youjun Temple. The land use planning of Etang is beautiful and has changed a lot. Surrounded by green, there are many geese swimming freely in the pond. The Goose Pond Pavilion is a triangular pavilion with a stone tablet engraved with the word "Goose Pond" and a silver hook. It is a private school handed down by Wang Xizhi. The word "Chi" was written by his son. The word "a monument" is a combination of father and son, and the villagers spread it as a beautiful talk. Shangliu Pavilion is the place where Wang Xizhi and his friends recited poems and finished Preface to Lanting Collection. On March 3rd, 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, 465,438+0 scholars, including Wang Xizhi, Sun Chuo, Xie An and Zhi Dun, gathered here for the "Xiuzi Day" banquet, sat on both sides of Qushui, and put the wine bottle on the clean water. Whoever floats to the front, will improvise poetry, otherwise he will be punished three times. There are 37 poems written by 26 people at this party. Wang Xizhi wrote a 324-word preface for it, which is Wang Xizhi's masterpiece "Preface to Lanting Collection", which is known as "the best running script in the world". Lanting has therefore become a pilgrimage site for calligraphers of past dynasties and a famous garden in the south of the Yangtze River.
Lanting in Shaoxing is located at the foot of Zhu Lan Mountain, about 13 km southwest of Shaoxing ancient city. It is famous because Wang Xizhi and others collected it here and left the famous Preface to the Lanting Pavilion. Lanting is a small place, but the scenery is elegant. Echi Monument, Lanting Monument, Qushui Liuxiang and Yubei Pavilion are the main landscapes here.
Not far from the ticket gate, you will see a stone tablet that says "Goose Pond" in cursive. According to legend, the word "Goose" was written by Wang Xizhi and looks handsome and tall, while the word "Chi" was written by his son Wang Xianzhi, so this monument is called "Father and Son Monument". Almost all tourists who come here will take pictures here. Legend has it that Wang Xizhi likes geese very much, and now there are several white geese in the goose pond in Lanting.
On the north bank of Echi is the Lanting tablet pavilion, and the word "Lanting" on the tablet is the imperial pen of Emperor Kangxi. Next to Lanting Monument is the area where Qushui flows, which can be simply understood as the current drinking order. Someone put a glass of wine in the upstream of Qushui, and the glass floated downstream with the lotus leaf. Whoever stops there will have to write a poem, and the loser will be fined a glass of wine. At that time, Wang Xizhi took advantage of drunkenness and achieved the Preface to Lanting, which is known as the "best running script in the world". Nowadays, many tourists come here, fill plastic cups with drinks and put them into Qushui to "flow" and experience the fun of Qushui in those days.
Youjun Temple is in memory of Wang Xizhi, and there is a lotus pond around it, which was built during the reign of Kangxi. Here, I mainly look at the different copies of Preface to Lanting. Further west, you can see the Imperial Monument Pavilion. On the front of the monument is the full text of Preface to Lanting Collection written by Emperor Kangxi, and on the back is the seven-rhythm poem Lanting is a poem improvised by Emperor Qianlong when he visited Lanting. Two generations of emperors have the same book and a monument, so it is also called Sun Tzu Monument. Two generations of emperors carved tablets at the same time, which is unique in China and the treasure of Lanting Town Museum.
There are eighteen water tanks behind the Imperial Monument Pavilion. Visitors can dip their brushes in water and write on the stone table to experience the scene of Wang Xianzhi learning Chinese characters. In addition, there are Lanting Calligraphy Museum and Lanting Porcelain Ink Stone Art Museum in the northwest of the scenic spot, where many calligraphy works and various inkstones are exhibited. If you are interested, you may wish to have a look.
Shaoxing Lanting Tour Guide 6 talks about Preface to Lanting Collection. Everyone must want to witness Wang Xizhi's original work, but unfortunately it is difficult to do so. As a family heirloom, Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting has been handed down from generation to generation. When Zhi Yong, the seventh generation descendant of Wang Xizhi, became a monk, he passed on the preface to his disciples. If eloquence is wealth, hide it in the dark sill between beams. At this time, it was the era of Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong loved Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Knowing that the Preface to Lanting was in the hands of eloquence, he ordered Xiao Yi to design an original.
Dressed up as a poor scholar, Xiao Yi went to visit the debater and make friends with him. They often drink, write poems and comment on the paintings and calligraphy of the two kings. When the wine was hot, the debater finally revealed that he had the real book Preface to Lanting Collection. Xiao Yi's debater regarded him as a "good friend" and lost his guard. He put the original preface to Lanting Collection on the console table and never put it back in the dark sill between the beams. One day, knowing that the debater was away, Xiao Yi sneaked into the monk's room and stole the original Preface to Lanting Collection.
After Xiao Yi stole the original Preface to Lanting Collection, he went to the local government office and ordered him to preach eloquence and knock on the suggestion of suggestion. After the eloquence arrived, Xiao Yi told him that he had come by decree to get the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, and now he has it, so he specially called to say goodbye. After listening to eloquence, he fainted and died of shock and regret.
Emperor Taizong got the original of Wang Xizhi and ordered him to copy it and give it to his prince as a close minister. When he died, he left a testamentary edict, and Preface to Lanting Collection was to be buried in Zhaoling as a funerary object. Since then, people will never see the original preface to Lanting Collection, but you can still appreciate Wang Xizhi's exquisite calligraphy art from various manuscripts.
To the east of Shangliu Pavilion is Youjun Temple, whose structure is very ingenious. Surrounded by water, a hall is built on the water. There is a corridor in the hall. There is a pool next to the corridor. There is a pavilion in the pool. There is a bridge next to the pavilion. In the room, you can see the five scenes of heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars, and you can also witness books of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are many stone carvings inscribed by later generations embedded in the cloister walls on both sides of Mo Chi, most of which were copied by calligraphers of past dynasties according to various versions and handwriting of Preface to Lanting Collection. The pool in the middle is Mo Chi, whose masterpiece is the phrase "calligraphy by the pool, the water in the pool is all black". The pavilion above is called Mohua Pavilion. The cloisters on both sides are places where calligraphers and calligraphy lovers exchange calligraphy. 1987 The grand book art exchange meeting of China-Japan Lanting Book Fair was held here.
Wang Xizhi's portrait hangs in the main hall of Youjun Temple. (This is the masterpiece of Song Zongyuan, vice president of Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, a contemporary painter.) The couplets on both sides were written by Mr. Sha Menghai: "I have spent my life in mountains and rivers, and there is nothing to say in the past and present", which fully expresses Wang Xizhi's character of wandering between mountains and rivers without any intention of official career. There are various versions of Preface to Lanting copied by calligraphers in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, among which Feng Chengsu's Dragon Book in the Tang Dynasty is the most authentic.
Ladies and gentlemen, now we come to the "Royal Monument Pavilion" behind Youjun Temple. The Imperial Monument Pavilion, with octagonal double eaves, was originally a wooden structure. It collapsed in 1950s and was rebuilt in 1983, with a height of12.5m. The Imperial Monument in the pavilion is 6.8m high, 2.6m wide and 20cm thick, and weighs1.8000kg. It is one of the largest ancient monuments in China. On the front of the plaque is the full text of Preface to Lanting Collection written by Emperor Kangxi, which is free and easy. Yin Bei wrote a poem "Lanting is a thing" when Emperor Qianlong visited Lanting. The works of two emperors, grandparents and grandchildren, are carved on the same stone tablet, which is called "the tablet of grandparents and grandchildren". It is unique in China and can be said to be a national treasure. "Father-son Monument", "Military-civilian Monument" and "Ancestor Monument" are called "Lanting Three Musts".
Ladies and gentlemen, let's visit Lanting Calligraphy Museum next. Lanting Calligraphy Museum, completed on 1988, is located in the southwest of Yubei Pavilion, covering an area of 10 mu. Across the stream is the calligraphy museum, and the environment is very quiet, really like a paradise. This museum is a place to display the long history of China's calligraphy and famous works at home and abroad, and also a place to hold calligraphy exchanges.
In order to meet the respect of calligraphers at home and abroad for Lanting and Wang Xizhi, the relevant departments have planned to build a new stele gallery here. Now, calligraphers such as Sha Menghai and Qigong have erected monuments in Nishinomiya City and Tianxi Society in Japan, from which we can appreciate the artistic style of Chinese and foreign calligraphers.
Eighteen cylinders in Linchi is a participating scenic spot in Lanting, which consists of eighteen cylinders, Xiziping and Taizi Monument. The scenic spots are based on Wang Xianzhi's eighteen-cylinder Linchi book and the allusions of Wang Xizhi's great achievements. According to legend, Wang Xianzhi didn't want to practice after practicing three tanks of water, thinking that he had written very well. He's a little proud. Once, he wrote some words to show his father. After reading it, Wang Xizhi felt that his writing was not good, especially one of the words "big" was too loose in structure, so he clicked a little and turned it into "too" and said, "Show it to your mother." After reading it, Mrs. Wang Xizhi said, "My son has practiced three tanks of water, but there is only one thing like Xi Shi." Wang Xianzhi was very ashamed after hearing this, knowing his own gap, so he worked hard to write eighteen jars of water and became a famous calligrapher when he grew up. Lanting has been introduced, thank you!
