1, Night Tour at Chengtian Temple
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Genpox, on the night of October 12, 2006, took off his clothes and went to bed. He just saw the moonlight on the door and got up happily for a walk. Thinking that there was no one to play with, I went to the Tianhou Palace to find Zhang Huaimin. People didn't sleep, so we walked in the yard together. The courtyard is as empty as water, and the algae and grass in the water are intertwined and covered with bamboo and cypress. What night is there no moonlight? Where is there no bamboo and cypress? It's just the lack of free people like us.
On the evening of 2006 10/2, I was about to undress and fall asleep when I happened to see the moonlight shining through the portal, so I got up and went out happily. Considering no one to play with me, I went to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin. Zhang Huaimin hasn't slept yet, just taking a walk in the yard.
The moonlight shines as clear and transparent as clear water in the yard. Algae and water plants crisscross, which turned out to be the shadows of bamboo and cypress trees in the courtyard. When is there no moon? Where is there no bamboo and cypress? It's just the lack of idle people like us.
2. The Story of Tiger Hill
Ming dynasty: Li
Tiger Hill is especially suitable for Mid-Autumn Festival tourists. Scholars and women left the city, singing and laughing, filling mountains and boiling forests, and staying up all night. As a result, the ravine was turned into a wine field, filthy and hateful.
On the tenth day of the first month, I went to the county seat and visited Tiger Hill overnight. The moonlight is beautiful, and there are still few tourists. The wind pavilion and the moon pavilion are decorated with one or two teams of red powder, which is not bad. However, in the end, when the mountains are empty and people are quiet, they are alone.
Savor the autumn night and sit on the moon rock to fish. It was dark and there was no contact. When I smell the wind, the Buddha lamp looms in the forest.
In the middle of this spring, I went to Zhonghe with Infinite. In the middle of the night, no one came out, sat on the stone platform, stopped drinking and talking, faced it calmly and felt that he was going with the scenery.
I have only been to Tiger Hill twice in my life and have seen its true colors. A friend Xu Shengyuan said in his poem: "It is better to travel in the middle of the night than to be cold in the twilight." Truth!
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many tourists in Tiger Hill. All the gentlemen, students, women, children and singers in the city will go. Singing, music and laughter filled the whole mountain forest and lasted all night. As a result, the magnificent natural mountains and rivers have become wine fields, which is really hateful.
Arrived in the county seat on the tenth day and visited Tiger Hill that night. The moonlight is graceful and there are not many tourists. The wind blew through the pavilion and the moonlight fell among the trees. Occasionally, one or two singers, blowing sheng, are not disgusting. But it's better to go alone when the mountains are empty.
I once sat on the moon-fishing rock at the top of Tiger Hill in autumn night. It was dark, and no one came and went, only the sound of wind chimes and the Buddha's lamp of stupa were looming in the quiet night.
This spring, I visited Zhonghe here with Infinity. At midnight, the moon came out and disappeared. We sat cross-legged on the stone platform together, neither drinking nor talking, but sitting quietly opposite each other. We felt carefree and calm about the clean scene around us.
I have been to Tiger Hill twice in my life, and I have seen its true colors. My friend Xu Shengyuan wrote a poem: "It's so cold in my later years, it's better to travel at midnight." That's right!

The creative background of the night tour in Chengtian Temple;
This article was written in the sixth year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong (1083). At that time, the author had been exiled to Huangzhou for four years. In July of the second year of Yuanfeng, the famous "Wutai Poetry Case" in history, Li Ding picked out Su Shi's poems about the new law and said that he slandered them. In August, he was arrested and imprisoned. After a long trial and torture, he was almost killed.
1February, the author was released from prison and demoted to Huangzhou to be an assistant forever, but he was not allowed to "sign books to do business", that is to say, he was an idle official with positions but no rights. In this case, the author is almost exiled and depressed; But he is still enterprising, so he wrote this essay, describing the scenery of the moonlit night beautifully and recording a fragment of his life at that time.
