When you visit Tiger Hill, you can see the remains of wuyue's struggle.
Sword force test stone
On the left side of the broken Liangdianshan Road in Huqiu Mountain, there is an oval boulder with a slit like a sword in the middle. Next to it stands a stone engraved with the words "Sword Test Stone" written by Lu Shengqing and Wang Baowen during Song Shaosheng's reign. Next to the stone, there is also an inscription by Gu Ying in the Yuan Dynasty: "Try a touch of autumn with the sword, and the cliff will pour water to stop the flow;" How not to behead Zhao Gaotou after a hundred years? ! "
According to legend, He Lv, the king of Wu, competed for hegemony in the world, and let Master swordsman and his wife cast swords as scheduled. If they failed to do so, they would be punished by beheading. They worked day and night, picked the iron essence of the five mountains and the golden eagle of the six rivers, lit a stove in a workshop outside Xiangmen, Suzhou, and called on boys and girls to blow and feed, put on their hair and nails to show their painstaking efforts in casting swords. After many hardships, the male and female swords were finally forged. The lieutenant knew that offering a double sword would kill him, so he hid the male sword and let Mo Xie and his son escape from Suzhou overnight. The female sword presented by Wu, a general in the military parade on Huqiu Mountain, was better than the fish intestines and swords made by Ou Yezi, the state of Yue, so he raised his sword and struck the stone, splitting the boulder beside him in half. This stone is the "sword test stone".
It is said that this stone is the sword test stone of the king of Qin. Qin Shihuang dug up the sword used by King Wu for martyrdom and cut the stone into two pieces. It was also said that Qin Shihuang was about to excavate He Lv's tomb, and when he saw a white tiger resting on the tomb, he drew his sword and cut it. Where the sword fell, a boulder split in two, but the tiger ran away.
According to the test, the sword test stone is volcanic tuff, and the crack of the sword split stone is caused by the perennial action of physical chemistry and biology.
Qianrenshi
In the center of Tiger Hill, at the end of the mountain road outside Jianchi, there is a dark purple flat rock inclined from south to north, covering an area of one or two acres. Legend has it that after the completion of He Lv's tomb, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and his courtiers were afraid that the secret passages in the tomb would be leaked after the craftsmen returned home, and they plotted to kill people on the boat under the "Weighing Bridge". Fu Cha, the king of Wu, killed more than 1000 people in the name of inviting grave robbers to drink and watching cranes dance on boulders. The blood of thousands of people permeates the stone and does not fade for a long time, so there is a saying that the deep purple of the stone comes from the blood of thousands of people. Since then, several protrusions have appeared on the surface of the stone, and all the people walking on the stone have fallen from the boulder and died. Later generations built diamond stone pavilions and amitabha stone pavilions near Zuojin to cross over the undead.
Qianshi is a fine structure with spots. Stones are feldspar and quartzite, containing a small amount of iron and magnesium. It is a typical rhyolite, so the color is deep red. According to the investigation, there were many magmatic intrusions and eruptions in Suzhou area10.50 billion years ago. Tiger Hill is a volcanic rock, and thousands of stones are condensed from volcanic lava.
Thousands of stones are also called thousands of people sitting. "Taiping Universe" says: "You have Pingshi. It can accommodate thousands of people, so thousands of people sit. " "Continued Wu Jun Tu Jing" said: "Gong Sheng gave lectures to thousands of people, hence the name." The stone wall is engraved with the inscription "Shenggongtai" by Li in Tang Dynasty and "Sitting for a Thousand People" by Hu in Ming Dynasty. According to legend, Zhu Daosheng, a monk of the Jin Dynasty, gave a lecture here, and there were thousands of people sitting on the stone. As a boy, he had extraordinary understanding, and he went to the altar to give lectures, which was highly valued by the emperor. He was expelled from Beijing because he created the theory that "one person (who does not naturally become a Buddha) has Buddha nature". When I first arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, no one heard of it, but in Tiger Hill, "gather stones as disciples, reason, and all the stones nod." This scripture says, "Give birth to many people, and the stubborn stone nods." At present, there is also a "sleeping stone" in the pool next to Qianshi, which is a relic of Nodding Stone.
Scholars of all ages have sung a lot about this topic. Tang jiadao's poem "Thousand Stones" says: "Thousands of people sit on it, and a hundred feet are loose; Bichi hide the sword, cold current hidden dragon. " Song Yangbei's poem "A Thousand People Sit" said: "The famous mountains on the sea are tiger hills, and the remains of the public have survived to this day. At that time, it was said that thousands of people were sitting, and once they saw a rock nodding. " The poem Dian Shi Ji in Yuan Dynasty said: "People are born with white stones, and dust blows on the ceiling. Poor people in the dust, I don't understand. "
Jianchi
It is the most magical monument of Tiger Hill, about 60 steps wide and 2 feet deep, located in the north of Qianshi. It is wide in the south and narrow in the north, like a flat sword. The pool water does not dry up, and the air conditioner attacks people. In Song Dynasty, Zhang Qian said in "Yong Jian Chi": "Zhan Yuan is quiet. Standing on the wall is self-control. There is no loss in four seasons, but there is always one. If you don't study it, it won't stick. " Describe the virtue of a gentleman. Stone in the pool to the tomb of He Lu, "the bronze coffin is triple, the mercury is poured into the pool, and the golden jade is a goose." When the tomb was built, 100,000 migrant workers were recruited. It took three years for elephants to carry stones, dig ponds to penetrate the soil and accumulate soil into hills. Because He Lv loves swords, there are three thousand swords buried in Zhuan Xu's Fish Intestine, hence the name Jianchi. It also said, "Qin Shihuang visited the Tiger Hill in the east and asked for Huang Wu's sword. Its tiger is a tomb. The first emperor hit it with his sword, missed it, and hit the stone by mistake ... The sword was not found and was trapped in a pool, which was called the sword pool in ancient times. " In addition, he said, "Many dissenters cut mountains for rarity, and I don't know where they are; Sun Quan got nothing to wear and cut into a deep stream. " In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Yue said, "The sword pool built the place where the ancients fought swords." . "Wang Yucheng said," The spring stone is a wonder, which is made of manpower, built from the sky, and the pool is natural. "
1955 dredged the sword pool, and found the stone carvings of Changzhou county magistrate and other officials in Ming Dynasty and Tang Yin and Wang Hao on the east wall of the pool, which recorded the fact that the tomb gate of the King of Wu appeared in the sixth year of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty (151). After excavation, there is a stone crack at the northern end of the bottom of the pool, which is sharp at the top and wide at the bottom. Five people can be accommodated in the cave, and bluestones are stacked in the north of the cave, which is similar to the shape of the cave cemetery in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so it is suspected to be the tomb gate. In order to protect Tiger Hill and Kentucky, the eternal mystery of sword pool has never been uncovered.
The word "Jianchi" carved on the west cliff of Jianchi was handed down by Wang Xizhi. That year, he swam in the sword pool and saw two geese, one black and one white, playing in the pool. He wants to buy it, but he has no money on him. After being instructed by an old man, he happily wrote the book "Sword Pool" and got two geese. Who knows the word left a cliff, the old man disappeared, and two geese became a tiger in Yi Long. The words "Tiger Hill and Sword Pool" inscribed by Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, are engraved next to the circular cave entrance. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the famous seal engraver in Suzhou copied the word "Tiger Hill", so it was said that "the fake tiger hill is really a sword pool".
There is also an anecdote about Yan Zhenqing's inscription. Mo Bao, the abbot of Yunyan Temple in Tang Dynasty, was a famous collector. One day, Yan Zhenqing was welcomed into the temple gate, and the word Zhai Qiu stood under the rock wall of Jianchi. He praised the word "a word is worth a thousand dollars". Yan smiled and said, "That's it. The word' Tiger Hill and Sword Pool' is worth 4,000 yuan. I'm afraid I'm going to bet on Tiger Hill." The abbot said urgently and nodded in agreement. Yan Zhenqing touched the scene and meditated. With a wave of his hand, "Tiger Hill and Sword Pool" appeared on the rock wall. After Yan was promoted from the plain satrap to the official department minister, the abbot was afraid that he would raise money and that his official position would punish himself like a mountain. So, he made a plan, dug a mountain stream at the foot of the mountain to surround the Tiger Hill, and hung the plaque of the Suzhou magistrate's book "Yunyan Temple" on the newly opened south gate, and the Tiger Hill was hidden in the temple. The following spring, Yan Zhenqing went on patrol, but he was not introduced to Tiger Hill. He left a poem for the temple: "Looking at the moon and going upstairs, the sea is faint and the sword pool is bottomless; I am afraid that the mountain will take me away and teach you to lock the temple gate at sunset. " Waving at the door, heartless. He said, "I'll teach you to lock the temple gate before sunset." This is an elegant poem written by Gao Qi, a gifted scholar in the early Ming Dynasty.
Sunwuzi pavilion
This pavilion is located in Dongling, Huqiu. In the 11th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1806), Sun Xingyan, a scholar, built a temple of Sun Wuzi and erected a statue with the inscription "I am a very high general, and I am not a bully when I succeed to the throne". Now Sun Wuzi Pavilion is rebuilt in 1955, and there is an inscription in the pavilion by Zhang Aiping, a neighbor: "Sun Tzu's Art of War, conquering the enemy. Jiao Niang practices martial arts and the story spreads. " At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Wu, a famous strategist, was born in the State of Qi. He advocated the reform of Qiang Bing. Author of Sun Tzu's Art of War, Volume 82, Figure 9. Thirteen Articles on the Art of War is the earliest art book in China. When I lived in Wuzhong, I was introduced by Wu Zixu. Once he took Sun Tzu's Art of War to see He Lv, the king of Wu, and was appointed as a general. Legend has it that He Lv wanted to test Sun Wu's military ability, appointed him to train female soldiers in the palace, and made two Aiji as the captain. Sun Wu came to power in disguise and gave orders to the queue one after another. two of a kind covered his mouth and laughed, but he didn't listen to the orders. Sun Wu reiterated that the military order still didn't work, that is, he ordered the beheading of two Ji; Acting in accordance with the law, He Lu was speechless. The ladies-in-waiting saw that the military orders were like a mountain, and all of them were purged and obeyed. Later, Sun Wu trained female soldiers in Tiger Hill. In addition, it is said that its address is Jiaochang Mountain on the coast of Taihu Lake today, because there is a tomb site of Jill nearby.
When Sun Wuren was a general, he fought with Wu Zixu against neighboring Chu State, won all five wars, captured Du Ying (now north of Jiangling, Hubei Province), and joined forces with Qi Jin in the north and Yue people in the south. According to legend, Sun Wu once lived by the Sun Wuzi Bridge in the southwest of Qiao Feng and was buried outside Wumen.
Sun Wuzi Memorial Pavilion also has one in Yushan, Changshu.
