Baoyan Ecological Sightseeing Park is located in the green valley of Cangshan Mountain in Baoyan Bay at the southern foot of Yushan Mountain. After decades of development, it has become a natural ecological park with the richest forest landscape in Jiangsu Yushan National Forest Park. Traveling through the forest by tour bus, the green oxygen bar makes people forget the amorous feelings. Along the way, the foothills are dotted with pavilions, grottoes cold springs and Pinghu Waterfalls, especially the grottoes cold springs, which are the largest water diversion waterfalls in the south of the Yangtze River. As a part of national forest park, it is also a good place to learn popular science. All kinds of plants and cash crops in the park are labeled and displayed, and the eco-science education museum makes eco-environmental protection a favorite culture.
Good ecological resources make Baoyan Ecological Sightseeing Park attractive for leisure and holiday. This is the "national agricultural tourism demonstration site", and the most famous activity is the annual Yangmei Festival. Tourists come here to pick bayberry and have tea in Zhuhai Teahouse. The cultural characteristics here are also full of leisure interest. You can stay in Baoyan Temple to listen to the morning bell, or you can go to Liancheng Stone Wall to enjoy the impression of Yushan, which is dominated by Changshu culture.
"Look at Yangmei, burn incense."
"Watching bayberry burn incense" is a traditional folk custom in Changshu with a history of more than 900 years. At the end of June and the beginning of July in the lunar calendar, when the villagers are free, they will meet at Baoyan Temple to burn incense, which is called "burning incense", and by the way, they will look at the red bayberries that have already borne fruit all over the mountains. 1365, in the 24th year of Yuan Dynasty, Changshu local chronicles recorded that Myrica rubra was planted in Baoyan. The Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty also recorded the grand occasion of seeing Yangmei in Changshu, and people from neighboring counties and cities such as Jiangyin, Shazhou, Kunshan and Wuxian also came here. Every year, the number of people "watching bayberry burn incense" is nearly 6.5438+0.2 million.
At present, nearly 1000 mu of Myrica rubra is planted in Baoyan Ecological Sightseeing Park, among which 170 trees are more than 100 years old. After long-term improvement, Baoyan Myrica rubra has 16 varieties, such as Dongkui, Taohong, Zaohong, Mantis Seed and Crystal. In the new year, each tree produces more than 80 kilograms of Myrica rubra, which brings a lot of income to local people. Now, the local "Baoyan Yangmei Festival" is held every year to conform to this extremely vital custom and further polish the golden signboard of "Go to Baoyan to see Yangmei".
Bamboo sea tea, ask "childhood friends" and taste farm food.
"Empty Cui wet clothes." Baoyan Bamboo Sea has created a microclimate, which is about 5cc lower than the outdoor temperature on average. This is a good place to escape the heat in summer. There are large and small bamboo teahouses in the bamboo forest, a cup of Yushan green tea, and about three or five confidants, so you can enjoy a relaxing and beautiful day.
Baoyan forest landscape is gorgeous and spectacular, with large-scale natural coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests (pine, maple and bamboo) as the main ones. There are many kinds of forest plants. According to incomplete statistics, there are 89 families and 309 species. Bamboo Sea concentrates on Zizhu, Fengzhu, Torreya grandis, Zhu Fang, Arhat Bamboo, Chicken-feeding Bamboo, Filial Bamboo, Louzhu, and Polygonatum odoratum inlaid with gold. There is a grass pavilion in the bamboo forest, named "faint", which means "double": further on, I saw a bamboo bridge flying across, and the name of the bridge is "Gege", which means "bamboo". The pavilion and a bridge set each other off, and the humor of the garden builder can be seen. Here, you can also see the "childhood friends" where Myrica rubra and bamboo were born, and the "lover tree" where Liquidambar formosana and Quercus acutissima embraced each other. Because of the high content of negative ions and aromatic components in bamboo forest, the air is pure, which can refresh the mind and has obvious health care function.
Another place that tourists must visit in Baoyan is the farmhouse restaurant. Farmers in the ecological park entertain guests in their own yards, eating fresh vegetables just picked from the fields and drinking homemade osmanthus wine. Needless to say, when we arrived at the farm yard, the two watchdogs each occupied a parking space and slept lazily in the sun. The driver honked at them and the dog was woken up. He looked up impatiently and stared at us. Actually, a man turned over to go back to sleep until he was scolded by the owner who heard the voice, and then he got up lazily and moved his nest, which made us laugh.
Soon, the enthusiastic host served a table full of farm dishes: Benshan bamboo shoots, Shang Hu shrimp, grass chicken pot, fried glutinous blood, and mushrooms, which made us unable to stop eating chopsticks and neglected the dogs who arrived in time to wag their tails to please us.
Going to Fuhai after dinner is blessed in Changshu.
Fuhai is actually a small lake, exquisitely carved.
Walking slowly along the wooden plank road by the lake, pruning bamboo bushes and spending a little, the scenery is elegant and pleasant. Fuhai has a history. Legend has it that Jiang Shang moved to Liu Jia, Liu Ding for 7749 days, and transferred the water from the East China Sea to the first bay of Yushan. Land's father-in-law is very grateful for the success of the lake, and Jiang Shang must give this small lake a name. Jiang Shang thought for a moment and said, "Blessed land leads to the sea, so let's call it Fuhai."
Like every tourist who comes here, I like to believe that this is how Fuhai came.
Yushan is the "root" of Changshu history and culture. Changshu's historical and cultural accumulation of more than 3,000 years can be traced back to Yushan.
Liancheng Stone Wall: Visible Yushan Culture
Sightseeing bus walked through the jungle and stopped at a rocky hillside. This is Liancheng stone wall.
On the platform in front of the hillside, you can see several life-size sculptures, some of which are playing the piano and singing, some of which are carefully taking the pulse, some of which are absorbed in carving chapters, and others are all about Changshu culture represented by Changshu celebrities: poetry school represented by money, painting school represented by Wang Shigu, Indian school represented by Lin Hao, Qin school represented by Yan Tianchi, and "Bronze Sword House" and "Crimson Cloud"
Yushan is the "root" of Changshu's history and culture, and most of Changshu's historical and cultural accumulation of more than 3,000 years can be traced back to Yushan. This Liancheng Shibifang captures the essence of Yushan culture and displays seven cultural highlights, such as Yushan Poetry School, Yushan Painting School, Yushan Qin School and Yushan Printing School, as well as books collection, calligraphy and medicine, in the form of characters, stories and events. These cultural scenes are based on the natural Yushan Mountain, which shows the organic combination of beautiful natural landscape and profound cultural heritage. In particular, Yushan Poetry School, Yushan Painting School, Yushan Qin School and Yushan Printing School are all famous in history and have been passed down to this day.
Poetry? Yushan school of poetry
The sculpture group of "Yushan Poetry School" shows the scene of drinking and reciting poems. In the middle is Qian, a famous writer in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and next to her confidante Liu. Qian is regarded as the leader of southeast literate Sect and Yushan Poetry School. As a poet, he initiated the poetic style of Qing Dynasty. As a historian, Qian is determined to finish the national history privately. People think that "Yushan (money) is still alive, but the national history is not dead". As an essayist, Qian is famous all over the world and is known as a "contemporary scholar". His students are Feng Shu, Feng Ban, Qu, Qian Lvcan, Liu and others. Yushan Poetry School occupies an important position in the history of China literature. Qu Shizhen's Qi Haoyin is accompanied by his eternal history. Qian Liu's poems are superior to those of his contemporaries, and he is the leader of Yushan Poetry School after Qian+Liu's representative works "Wuyin Grass" and "Lake Grass". He and Qian's white-haired and beautiful legend have left an eternal story in the literary world.
Print? Yushan impression
China's lettering, immediately written on gold, copper, jade and other materials, is generally called "stone". The seal is contained in the "stone". Zhu Caihong's seal is not only used for daily life, but also for calligraphy and painting inscriptions, which has become one of China's unique works of art..
Yushan seal cutting school is a Jiangnan seal cutting school named after Yushan in Changshu in the early Qing Dynasty. The Indian people in Changshu are most famous for their Shen He, Lin Hao and Wang Jin, forming the "Yushan School". Among the modern seal engravers, Zhao, who has the greatest achievement and influence, is known as the "first person in the south of the Yangtze River" after Wu Changshuo, and is the master of the New Yushan Printing School. There are many people who have learned from Zhao. Qi Baishi is known as the "Northern Qi and Southern Deng". His daughter, who is good at epigraphy and calligraphy, is a representative of the modern Yushan Indian School.
The "impression of Yushan" scenic spot on the stone wall of Liancheng is ingeniously engraved with the seal cutting works of Lin Hao, Zhao, Pang Cai and Pang Shilong on the stones on both sides of the mountain road. The white stone is red and red, which is particularly eye-catching. Visitors can appreciate the profound cultural connotation of Indian studies in Yushan while enjoying the scenery.
Jane. Yushan qinpai
Guqin, formerly known as Qin or lyre, is the oldest plucked instrument in China with a history of more than 3,000 years. It is also the most famous musical instrument in ancient China, ranking first among the "Four Arts of Painting and Calligraphy in Chyi Chin". Changshu is the birthplace of guqin and the first place in the world with a piano school, a special piano site, a representative piano score, a representative figure and a theoretical program.
Yushan Qinpai was founded in the late Ming Dynasty, represented by Yan Tianchi, Qingshan Xu and Wu Jinglue. In terms of playing style, it pays attention to "clarity, agitation, broadness and peace" and is praised as "authentic ancient sound" by the piano industry. Yushan Qin School also left more than a dozen excellent music scores to future generations, which played a decisive role in the history of Chinese Guqin art. In June 2003, Guqin was selected as the second batch of "representative works of oral and intangible heritage of mankind" by UNESCO.
Painting? Yushan school of painting
Yushan Painting School can be traced back to Huang in Yuan Dynasty. Huang is good at landscape painting, drawing materials mainly from Yushan and Fuchun River, and is known as "the first in Yuan Sijia". He created the "light crimson coloring method" with the local ochre in Yushan, which had a far-reaching influence on later landscape paintings. The early Qing Dynasty was the heyday of Yushan School of Painting. The representative figure was Wang Shigu (Wang Cui), who was ordered by Emperor Kangxi to paint the southern tour and was known as the "painting saint". There are many scholars in Wang Painting School, and they have gradually become "Yushan Painting School".
collect books
Yu Hai's collection is the best in the world. Changshu's private collection has a long history and has been passed down from generation to generation. Known as the hometown of private collections in China. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of bibliophiles have emerged, such as Zhao from the Museum, Qian from Jiang Yunlou, Qu from Qin Tie and Bronze Sword House, Zhang Jinwu who loves the sun and the land, and Chen Yi from Jirui House.
calligraphy
Changshu calligraphy is based on Zhang Xu in Tang Dynasty. Zhang Xu's cursive script pioneered the wild cursive art in the history of calligraphy in China, and people respectfully called it "Cao Sheng". Since the Yuan Dynasty, there have been many calligraphers in Changshu, especially Yang Yisun, Weng Tonghe and Xiao Die, who emerged in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
Baoyan Ecological Sightseeing Park feels like a cup of Yushan green tea. Its fragrance is pleasant, suitable for tasting, but not suitable for description, because it is difficult to accurately express people's most comfortable state in words.
Seeing the experts in the industry introduce the "secret" of Baoyan's success, I think that the biggest feature of such an eco-tourism park is innovation. Taking advantage of Baoyan's unique natural and human resources, applying the principles of ecological economics, and adopting the artistic techniques of landscape architecture, through the three-dimensional planting mode of forest tea, fruit tea and forest fruit, we can promote the high quality and high yield of forest, fruit and tea, and at the same time provide people with a place for sightseeing, leisure and holiday, cultural education and popular science education.
I think the experts must have a point, but as a tourist, I like Baoyan for only one reason. It makes people happy because of simplicity. Here, getting close to nature and touching culture is very simple. In the treasure face of green mountains and green waters, we can find the innocence and curiosity, simplicity and joy of childhood.
