Introduction of Eight Scenes of Longjing

Guoxi Pavilion: Located outside the gate of Longjing Temple. The eloquence of eminent monks in the Northern Song Dynasty retired from Tianzhu to Longjing Temple. There is a stream in front of the temple, named Huxi. The small bridge on Huxi is "seclusion", which means that eloquence has retired from the mountains. One day, when Su Dongpo visited, his eloquence hit it off with him, and they talked by candlelight. The next day, the debater escorted the guests down the mountain. As they walked and talked, the debater forgot the clear stipulation that "seeing Fujian off at the mountain gate, the farthest place is the Tiger Creek" and sent Dongpo across the Tiger Creek. Because the name of the bridge was changed to "crossing the stream". Later generations built pavilions on the ridge, which were called "Crossing the Stream Pavilion" or "Raul Pavilion". One of the eight scenic spots in Longjing.

A cloud: in the northeast of Longjing, it is a rock that looks like a cloud. Delicate and graceful, green and exquisite, skillfully carved and loose. One of the eight scenic spots in Longjing, Ganlong personally inscribed the name "A Cloud". Shenyun Stone: It is six feet high next to Longjing and looks like Youlong. The ancients said that when a stone was struck and prayed for rain, a cloud was born. It is said that it is very effective to ask for rain here during the drought in Hangzhou. This was fished out of Longjing in the Ming Dynasty. According to records, there have been cursive scripts such as "breaking the gods and transporting stones, and there are jade pools under them" in all previous dynasties. A poem named "Eight Scenes of Longjing" is engraved on the stone that I saw today.

Long Hongjian: Longjing, also known as Long Hong. Long Hongjian originated in Longjing, flowed through Dixinmu, Guoxiting and Waikeelung, and finally poured into the West Lake. The spring water here flows all the year round. From the edge of Longjing Temple, the cliff stands tall, and the flying stream pours over the pavilion and flows into the West Lake. The ancient people's travel notes once described the landscape of the Longhong River: in the Trojan Mountain area of Dixin, the river split out of the chaotic peaks like dozens of white dragons, and the sound of rapids hitting caves was as loud as millions of gongs and drums playing together. The title "Longjiang" is one of the eight scenic spots of Longjing in Qing Dynasty.

Fiona Fang Temple: An old Longjing building originally built by eminent monks in the Northern Song Dynasty. When Li Jue rebuilt Longjing Temple in Qing Dynasty, he relocated and rebuilt it. The theory that buildings are full of square toes and contain a round sky and a round place is originally a kind of understanding of the world by Buddhism. One of the eight scenic spots in Longjing. Wind chimes: During the Yuanfeng period of the Northern Song Dynasty, people admired the profound knowledge and noble character of monk Shangzhou after he retired from Longjing, and people came to visit him in an endless stream. For the convenience of pedestrians and tourists, Fengling raised funds to transform the mountain forest, open up mountain roads, plant bamboo extensively, and gradually formed a winding path paved by roads, hence the name Fengling. After the pavilion, along the stream, the mountain is high and steep, and the land is repaired and lived, and the charm is cool. One of the eight scenic spots in Longjing.

Di Xin Marsh: Upper reaches of Longhong River, outside the gate of Longjing Temple. Longjing spring water flows through here, and due to the terrain difference, a swamp pool is formed. Shousheng Temple Ji says that the swamp is pure. The meaning of "pure heart" is similar to that of Buddhism, which means purity. There is a heart-washing pavilion nearby. One of the eight scenic spots in Longjing. Cuifeng Pavilion: Cuifeng, also known as Biluofeng. Here, the strange rocks are deep and steep, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is excellent. Qianlong once boarded the pavilion and saw the scenic spot of Longjing, which he happily called "the best scenery of lakes and mountains".

Sunbi Mountain House: Song Daijin, named Sunbi, once worked as a magistrate. After the Song Dynasty was replaced by the Yuan Dynasty, he abandoned his official position and retired to build a house in Fengling. The self-titled room is "Sunbi Mountain Room". He is good at painting and calligraphy, with a left string and a right pot, and he is a historical artifact. He compared himself to Lin Hejing (Song people lived in seclusion in Hanggu Mountain for a long time after their forties, and died and was buried in it at the age of eighty-three). It embodies the quiet and comfortable pastoral life of literati indulging in natural landscapes.

Jia Xi Building: The name of the building is taken from Tao Yuanming's famous sentence "The mountains are getting better every day". It turned out to be the tower building of Enbukuji in Nantianzhu. The old things are on the second floor, and "Jia Xi" is the West Building. The building overlooks Hu Cheng Lake on the right and the mountain peak on the left. Whenever the sun sets, the afterglow shines, and the five colors are bright, colorful and exceptionally bright. It was built during the reign of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty and destroyed in the Ming Dynasty. Now it is rebuilt on the high slope of Chashan in Longjing Caotang, surrounded by emerald green, facing Santai Pavilion, with a unique style.

Longchi and Xiechi: Tianmu Mountain "Dragon and Phoenix Dance to Qiantang." The southern branch of the mountain range is Phoenix, which is called Phoenix Mountain. The northern branch is a dragon, and its spring is its bridge, so the name of the dragon is used. The North Branch governs the Longjing area, and there is a Longjing, which is the original reason. Longjing Spring, rich in water, flows down the mountain at four o'clock, flows into the waterfall after crossing the Xiting, forming a deep pool, commonly known as Longhong, also known as Longchi. A pavilion was built behind the pool. When Qianlong visited Longjing in the south, he stood by the pavilion and stared at the water in the pool, deeply feeling that "this spring is inexhaustible." The water in Longchi flows over the bridge and into Xiechi. After filtration, the flow velocity tends to be flat and finally flows into the West Lake.

Poetry Gallery: Four Youlong Wells of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty all chanted eight views, forming 32 poems with eight chants of Longjing. Most of the poems on display are based on the original of that year, and some are written by famous domestic calligraphers.

Huanhuachi: During the Ming Dynasty (1436- 1449), there was a great drought. At that time, the governor of Zhejiang, Li De, ordered the soldiers to dig wells, and the springs were surging, so he dredged the three ponds, and Huanhua was one of them. The spring water bets from Longhong, with flowers beside it, flying in the water and flying all over the sky, hence the name "Huanhua".

Longjing Caotang: Relying on the Heritage Garden, a classical garden full of wild interests in the south of the Yangtze River, Longjing Caotang inherits the theme of "enjoying the green hills and playing with water, and swimming with killer whales", deduces the traditional culture of China, making it a gourmet club dedicated to authentic folk dishes.
