What about the broken bridge in Hangzhou?

The Broken Bridge is located at the water dividing point between Lixihu Lake and Waixihu Lake, with one end across Beishan Road and the other end connected with Bai Causeway. The name of Broken Bridge came from the Tang Dynasty, but its proper name is little known. At that time, it was a stone bridge, which was called Fuqiao in Song Dynasty and Duanjia Bridge in Yuan Dynasty. Of all the bridges in the West Lake, she is the most famous. It is said that the broken bridge existed as early as the Tang Dynasty, and the word "broken bridge" was found in Zhang Hu's poem "On Hangzhou Gushan Temple".

There are different opinions about the origin of its name. One said that the road to lonely mountain ends here, hence the name; It is said that Duanjia Bridge is called broken bridge for short, and homophonic broken bridge; It is said that there is a pavilion on the ancient stone bridge. When it snows in winter, the snow and ice on the sunny side of the bridge melt away. Jade and silver are still hanging on the bridge. Since Geling, bridges and dikes have been broken, hence the name "Broken Snow"; It is also said that the Southern Song Dynasty was in a peaceful corner, and the passionate painter took the idea of residual water in the mountains, so he drew up the name of the bridge and the name of the scene. The latter statement seems preferable. The current broken bridge was rebuilt in 194 1 year, and was modified in the 1950s. There is a pavilion in the northeast of the bridge, in which there is a monument of "Broken Bridge and Residual Snow". In The Legend of the White Snake, the white snake girl and Xu Xian meet in the rain, and they make love under an umbrella. Meet again here and make up. Because of this bizarre human-god affair, Broken Bridge is famous in West Lake and enjoys the reputation of the first lover bridge on the lake.

Looking at the broken bridge, it is beautiful in all seasons, especially when it snows in winter. Every time it snows, Chu Qing stands on the bridge and looks north. Gushan, Geling area, terraced fields covered with jade, crystal clear lakes and mountains, a little Leng Yan, a little sad, a lot of noise and excitement, a lot of green and red. It is well-deserved among the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. People often say: sunny lake is not as good as rainy lake, rainy lake is not as good as moon lake, and moon lake is not as good as snow lake. Broken bridge is the most accurate and vivid annotation. Li, a painter in the late Ming Dynasty, once said, "When you look at the lake from the broken bridge, you will know that your soul is dying. The lake is faint, like the morning light hitting trees and the bright moon entering the Lu. Covering mountains and rivers, there is a great sense of immersion in other places, not as good as it is! "
