Jiangsu Province Wuxi Huishan Zhulu Shanfang Couplets

[Introduction to Huishan Bamboo Furnace Mountain House] The bamboo furnace mountain house downstairs in Yun Qi of Huishan and north of Er Quan was originally the Mituo Hall of Huishan Temple. Because of the anecdote of the poet Puzhen bamboo stove cooking tea in the early Ming Dynasty, it was changed to its current name in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. During Qianlong's southern tour, he tasted two springs here, copied a bamboo tea stove and brought it back to Beijing. Now this stove is treasured in the Palace Museum. Zhulu Mountain House was destroyed in Xianfeng and Tongzhi years, and now the house was rebuilt in Guangxu years, with three halls. There are platforms and verandahs in front, and Pantuo stones are placed on both sides. Behind the entrance hall, there is an elegant inner court dotted with lake stones and flowers and trees. It is a main building facing south, "Rain and Autumn Hall". The name of the hall is taken from Wang bi's poetry: "The steam is steaming and the sun is envious of three spring rains, and the vocal cords are on both sides of Xiangjiang River in autumn." Nave has exquisite wood carving and Yunlong pattern floor cover. There are 38 stone carvings embedded in the wall, such as the Bamboo Map in Sunny Rain by Wang Gu, the Bamboo Furnace Tea Map with poems inscribed by Qianlong and poems inscribed by Ming and Qing Dynasties. On both sides, new couplets are made from Qin Kui's poems of the Ming Dynasty. The calligraphy of Zhong Ying's hanging dry dragon is "returning to the old plaque", which makes people see things and think a lot.

The bamboo cutting and weaving stove was originally an old thing from the mountain house;

burning loose and boiling snow has been treasured for a long time.

—— Ming and Qin Kui's topic Huishan bamboo stove mountain house

The snow and ice are clear, and it is not polluted by dust;

cold chastity, why not rob the fire and burn it.

—— An anonymous poem titled Zhulu Mountain House in Huishan by Ji Ming and Qin Kui.
