In the center of Oujiang, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, the area was originally 60 acres and has been expanded to 107 acres. There are two peaks facing each other on the island, with a tower on each hilltop. The east tower was built in the Tang Dynasty, and the west tower was built in the Northern Song Dynasty. Between the two peaks is the Jiangxin Temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is surrounded by clouds and water and has towering ancient trees. The island has beautiful scenery, historical relics and rich cultural landscapes. It is a shining pearl on the Oujiang River and has always been called "Oujiang Penglai". Famous poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Meng Haoran, Han Yu, Xie Lingyun, Lu You, Wen Tianxiang, etc. They have left their footprints on Jiangxin Island one after another. Over thousands of years, countless literati and sages have left behind 800 famous poems about Jiangxin Island. The east and west twin pagodas soar in the sky, setting off Jiangxin Temple, which is a unique masterpiece. There are many places of interest on the island, such as Song Wenxin Guogong Temple, Haoran Tower, Xie Gong Pavilion, Chengxian Pavilion and Museum, Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall, and Workers' Nursing Home, all of which are provincial and municipal cultural relics protection buildings.
In this regard, the famous writer A Cheng and the famous poet A Yuan (also known as Chen Zhongyuan) described this: "The Jiangxin Temple is very clean, and the ancient temple is far away from the urban area and stands alone in the river. The tranquility and tranquility that can bring you into Zen are nothing to mention. The golden Buddhas in the east, west, south and north are solemn and orderly. There are also inscriptions written by Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and Zhao Puchu, the president of the current Buddhist Association. As for the four words "Jiangtian Blessed Land", it is said. It was written by Sha Menghai, a master of calligraphy. After leaving Jiangxin Temple, the owner thought that the island was not big, so he took a tour around the island. Whether it is the thousand-year-old rare tree "Ficus Embrace in the Camphor", the rows of Qibao Tathagata Pagodas, or even the Lingyun Bridge in the distance, the modern youth activity center, and the bonsai art garden that competes for beauty, all make people turn around every step of the way. It’s endless fun. Walking slowly on Jiangxin Island is really relaxing for your body and mind. Along the way, you can see fist-sized pink magnolia flowers and goose-yellow spring flowers. What’s even more amazing is that there is a huge green field on the island. The lake is called "Lian Lake", and there is a small green island in the lake, which is called "the island within the island". It is no wonder that literati and poets from ancient times to the present like to visit here, even the British who invaded here. At one time, they occupied this place and thought it was an "office" place. This matter is ridiculous and funny. When the British invaders arrived on the island and saw the East Tower standing, they felt very suspicious and thought it was some kind of military facility. It cannot be demolished. The top of the east tower is still open to the sky. Fortunately, an ancient tree has grown on the top of the east tower, which is both virtual and real, making it extraordinary.
The West Tower is naturally much better preserved than the East Tower. It is probably because the British finally understood that this tower was not a military facility. The East Tower was built in the 10th year of Xiantong in the Tang Dynasty, while the West Tower was built in the 2nd year of the Northern Song Dynasty. In short, the Tower of Two Dynasties is probably just a few pages of history.
When a group of people were tired, they went to Haoran Tower to drink tea. Mr. Chen Zhongyuan became poetic again. Compose a poem: "How long do I miss when I pass by the lonely island? It was once the spring river that conveyed my sentiments. The ancient cypress trees are covered with light clouds, and the peak of the tower is faintly covered with water. There are palaces in Wenshan that are still secluded, and the invisible fruits of Hongyi are vast. The melancholy and wind are gone now, and I will look at Jiang Xiang with hot eyes. "
Mr. Chen Zhongyuan likes to use exclamation points, which is also because he is young and full of energy. In addition to liking Zhongyuan's poems, I also have deep feelings for Du Fu's poems: "Where is the Lonely Island Pavilion, where is the end of the world? In the air. "Meng Haoran's poem is also good." Drinking in the distance among the mountains, and writing poems on the lonely island. "Of course the best is the poem written by Xie Lingyun, a local official in the Song Dynasty: "The turbulent currents drive away the righteousness, and the isolated island is charming in the middle of the river.
