Many of Jinan’s eight scenic spots have been lost due to the vicissitudes of time

In our country, there are many Each place has summarized eight landscapes with the most local characteristics, such as the famous "Eight Scenes of Yanjing", "Eight Scenes of Xiaoxiang" and so on. Jinan, a spring city with profound cultural heritage and beautiful lakes and mountains, is no exception. The Eight Scenic Spots of Jinan were once widely praised in history, but now when it comes to Jinan’s scenic spots, only a few places such as Baotu Spring, Daming Lake, and Qianfo Mountain come to mind.

The Eight Scenic Spots of Jinan are also called the Eight Scenic Spots of Licheng. It is unclear when they originated. The earliest written record of the Eight Scenic Spots can be found in the "Li Cheng" (written by Liu Chi, in the sixth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1633 AD)). The earliest extant local chronicle of Jinan): "In the past, people marked the eight sceneries, but due to the vicissitudes of time, many of them were forgotten." It can be seen that the theory of the eight sceneries has existed for many years in the Ming Dynasty, but some landscapes have changed with the times. It was difficult to find traces, so at that time Liu Chi listed the "Sixteen Scenes in the History" in his mind.

However, the later "Licheng County Chronicle" published 8 pages of "Eight Scenes" at the beginning of the volume, and specifically marked the names of the "Eight Scenes": Jinping Spring Dawn, Baotu Tengkong, Foshan Qiuju , magpie flowers mist and rain, sinking waves in the evening, boating on the bright lake, white clouds and snow, and the autumn wind. This statement is generally recognized by people and has been used to this day.

As time goes by, hundreds of years pass in the blink of an eye, and some of these eight sceneries are "obliterated".

After the autumn wind, the scenery becomes cooler

The white clouds and snow-covered towers are ruined and it is difficult to see the scenery of the past

In ancient times, the water area of ??Daming Lake was much larger than it is now. The Lixia Pavilion before the Tang and Song Dynasties was located near the current Wulongtan. At that time, every autumn day, standing in the Lixia Pavilion on the high platform, I could see the whole city. I could see the lake's waves, the faint Nanshan Mountain, the rustling of reeds, and the rustling autumn wind. Regrettably, when the Gongyuan was built in the Ming Dynasty, all the pavilions and terraces in Lixia were destroyed, and the scene "Autumn Wind in Lixia" was left with no name.

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Lixia Pavilion was rebuilt on a small island in Daming Lake, and the scene of "Lixia Autumn Wind" was also moved to the Lake Pavilion. Pu Songling in the Qing Dynasty once described the scenery around Lixia Pavilion in his article "Ode to the Ancient Li Pavilion".

Every autumn, the scenery around Lixia Pavilion becomes more beautiful. The autumn breeze blows gently, the lake is rippling, and the clear waves hit the shore, like jade pendants hitting each other; the weeping willows on the shore sway with the wind, graceful and graceful, like goddesses dancing in the deep courtyard of clear waves; the lotus flowers in the lake tremble in the breeze, like the river

The concubine walked slightly on the water. In addition, there are waves of quiet lotus fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The scene of "white clouds and snow" in history is closely related to Pearl Spring. At the end of the Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Rong, Shandong's minister, marshal of the military and horse capital, and magistrate of Jifu, built a private residence by the Pearl Spring, which was known as "Zhang Sheren's Garden". Later, his grandson Zhang Hong, the governor of Yuan Dynasty, built a new Baiyun Tower here. Standing in the Baiyun Tower, you can see the clear blue waves of the lake and the sails of the Yellow River in the north, and the clusters of Buddhist temples and green mountains in the south. Especially in the early days after the snow, when you lean on the railing and look far away, you will see clear light and white clouds all around. The beautiful scenery is like a painting, which is breathtaking. Zhang Yanghao, a composer of San music in the Yuan Dynasty, once wrote "Baiyun Fu" and praised it: "The wings of the Chinese magpie intercept the mist and rain, and the sun and stars in the sky are carried on the back."

As time goes by, the Snow Tower no longer exists, and the beautiful scenery of "white clouds and snow" is naturally no longer available.

Few people know the first of the eight spring dawn scenes in Jinping

It is difficult to recreate the momentum of Baotu Tengkong

Spring Dawn in Jinping Spring Dawn is the first of the eight scenic spots in Jinan, located on Longdong Mountain in the southeast of Jinan City. The scenic area is surrounded by mountains, with mountains and cliffs, dangerous peaks and cliffs, and the mountains are amazing and the scenery is beautiful. The Jinping Rock on Duxiu Peak is more than 80 meters high. It is named "Jinping" because of its screen-like shape and the surrounding green pines and cypresses and willows. Liu Chi, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, once described the scenery of Jinping Rock as follows: "It is dotted with red and green colors, shaded by dawn clouds, and is as gorgeous as a brocade screen."

In addition, there is the Xilong Cave on the cliff of the west peak of Jinping Mountain, with Buddha statues engraved on the cave wall and stalactites and flowers on the top of the cave; there is the Donglong Cave on the east cliff, which is divided into "Golden Vase" and "Spring Dawn". There are two caves. It is said that on the first day of spring, Yang Qi will rush out from the cave, and dry grass and dead leaves will fly along with it. In the deep valley under the Dragon Cave, there was originally the "Shou Sheng Yuan". According to historical records, the architectural form of Shousheng Yuan is ancient, with green ginkgo trees, pines and cypresses, and several ancient steles in the courtyard.

In the past autumn, going to Longdong to see the red leaves was a major event for people in Jinan and nearby areas. Now the red leaves on the mountain are still as bright as cloud brocade, but tourists are sparse, probably because of the many new attractions. development, people have gradually forgotten about it.

Baotu Soaring into the Sky Baotu Spring is the source of the ancient Luo River and the first of the 72 famous springs in Jinan. It is known as "the best spring in the world". Historical documents record that Baotu Spring is "as powerful as a boiling cloud, several feet high, and crystal clear as a prism", so it is called "Baotu Soaring into the Sky".

According to historical records, the Baotu Spring has a maximum eruption height of more than 1 meter, which is really a wonder of Jinan. Green algae floats in the spring pool, gold fish shuttles back and forth, and there are many small springs in clusters, like beads and jade.

Since the 1970s, Baotu Spring has ceased to erupt seasonally, and has been dormant many times in recent years. After many efforts, Baotu Spring finally resumed spouting in September this year, but it is difficult to recreate the scenic scenery of the past. Very big.

Huibo in the evening shines on half the city

Go boating on Ming Lake and see more mountains on the water

Huibo in the evening Zhaoquan City Jinan's Pearl, Zhuoying, Furong and other springs all gather in Daming Lake, and then flow under the Yangong Temple in the northeast corner of the lake. The setting sun is reflected diagonally into the water through the gate, so it is called It is "Huibo Night Photo".

In the old days, there was a Yan Gong Platform built on the side of Yan Gong Temple. From the platform, you can clearly see the scenery to the north of the city. There was an arch bridge not far from the platform, which was named "Huibo". To the north of the bridge is the Beishui Gate, which is built of bricks and stones. The gate is surrounded by weeping willows. The slender willow threads are dotted into the water. The breeze blows and the microwaves ripple. If in the evening, the setting sun is reflected diagonally into the water through the ticket gate, emitting soft light and dyeing everything around it with a layer of orange color. The charming scenery is called "Huibo Evening Light".

In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, after the Huibo Tower was built on the water gate, the setting sun could no longer be reflected, and the scene disappeared. However, whenever dusk falls and people climb to Huibo Tower, they can see another kind of beautiful scenery: looking to the south, the Yan Gong Temple is majestic, the courtyard is covered with willows and bamboos, the ancient cypresses on Yan Gong Terrace are old and old, and the south of the courtyard is full of lotus. Red, the blue waves are sparkling in the distance, the setting sun is shining in the west, and the sunset is full of rays. The scenery is excellent, so later generations also called this landscape "Huibo Evening Light".

Boating on Minghu Lake "Eight Scenes of Licheng" wrote a poem when describing the scene of boating on Minghu Lake: "You can see more mountains on the water, and the boat on Minghu Lake seems to be passing through a mirror", which vividly reproduces the past Foshan on Minghu Lake The reflected beautiful scenery and the clear water quality of Minghu Lake are difficult to see even when boating on the lake.

Daming Lake is a natural lake formed by spring water. In the past, the water was clear and green, with embankments and willows on the banks, green lotuses and green mountains, and the reflection of Foshan, forming a natural picture. People go boating on the lake, "like traveling in the country of fragrance", which is really a great pleasure in life.

In recent years, the springs have stopped spraying many times, coupled with the continuous discharge of sewage, the water quality of Minghu Lake has become increasingly poor, and tall buildings have continued to rise nearby. "More mountains can be seen from the water" can only be empty words.

Foshan Autumn Chrysanthemums and Magpies in the Misty Rain

The fame is still there but not as good as before

Foshan Autumn Chrysanthemums are famous in the southeast of Qianfo Mountain. There is a mountain in the distance called "Fohui Mountain". On the mountain is the largest stone Buddha statue in Jinan, about 10 meters high; There was originally a dew spring under the stone cliff. The sound of the water was tinkling and full of music. Every autumn, the valleys in the mountains linger, and wild chrysanthemums bloom all over the mountains and fields, in red, white, yellow, and purple, in all colors, but yellow is the main color. When the wild chrysanthemums are in full bloom, they are like gold scattered among the green pines and cypresses. It is very beautiful!

Since "Shandong Tongzhi" confuses Qianfo Mountain and Fohui Mountain, some people also regard "Foshan" in "Foshan Appreciating Chrysanthemums" as Qianfo Mountain. According to historical records, there was originally a "Chrysanthemum Appreciation Cliff" on the south side of Qianfo Mountain, which was a place for ancient people to appreciate chrysanthemums. In order to allow people to better appreciate this landscape, in 1984, people built a "Chrysanthemum Appreciation Pavilion" on the huge rock on the top of the mountain, providing a place for people to stop and appreciate chrysanthemums in autumn.

However, in recent years, due to the increasing number of tourists visiting Fohui Mountain to enjoy chrysanthemums, the natural ecological environment of the mountain has been greatly damaged, and the number of autumn chrysanthemums on Fohui Mountain has been greatly reduced. In addition, the original famous landscapes Kaiyuan Temple and Ganlu Spring no longer exist and can only be found in historical books.

Quehua Mist and Rain Que and Hua Mountains are located in the north of Jinan City. They have beautiful mountains and charming scenery. Queshan is arranged horizontally like a screen with no main peak. The mountains are covered with green trees and there are ancient monuments such as Queshan Courtyard, Queshan Pavilion and Bianque Tomb. Legend has it that this is where the famous doctor Bianque lived and practiced medicine. It is said that there were originally two stones, bell and drum, at the foot of the mountain. If they were struck with stones, the sound could be heard for miles.

Huashan Mountain was originally called "Hua Bu Zhu Mountain" and faces Que Mountain across the Yellow River. Huashan has a long history. Literati and poets of all ages have visited this mountain and many of them have praised it. Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem praising this mountain: "How steep and beautiful this mountain is, green as a hibiscus." There are temples and temples such as Huayang Palace, Sanyuan Palace, and Mount Tai Palace built on Huashan Mountain. The ancient cypresses in the temple courtyard are green and spectacular. There was Huayang Lake at the foot of the mountain in ancient times, and there was Queshan Lake between Que and Hua Mountains, with vast expanse of blue waves and vast lake. In the old days, there was an arched stone bridge on the south bank of Daming Lake, called the "Quehua Bridge". On a rainy day in spring and autumn, standing on the bridge and looking northward, I could see the two mountains of Que and Hua in the drizzle, looking as if they were far away. Together, they disappear and appear, the clouds and mist are lingering, like two points of blue smoke; coupled with the background of the fields and fishermen's houses in the water villages, it is simply like a poem and a dream, rather like a wonderful waterside picture.

Unfortunately, the lake gradually dried up, the mountains were damaged, and the scenery was no longer what it used to be.
