Introduction to Hushan Mountain in Qing Dynasty (Volume 9): Lin 'an Annals says: Jiuxi is in the southwest of Yanxialing, connecting Xucun, leaving the river and flowing into Longjing in the north. According to the current, Yangmeiwu originates from the ridge and flows southwest to Wanqing, Hongfa ... to Daxu Village, which is combined with Jiushui, so it is called Jiuhe. "New Records of West Lake" Volume II: "Nine streams will raise nine schools of water, and those who stop at streams are called streams. There are only nine estuaries of Huixi River. When it bypassed the foot of the forest, including a trickle, I don't know how many, but it was eighteen, twice as much as nine. "
Zhang Dai also said, "Jiuxi is in the west of Yanxialing, Shan Zhinan of Longjing. Its water bends around the ring, giving out 10%, so it is called Jiuxi. Its path is rugged, its vegetation is beautiful, its population is barren, and it is quiet and quiet. There are eighteen streams under the stream, and the homeland is deep, that is, those who flow without passing away cannot live long. According to records, there are Yan Li Temple, Songyang, Wangmeiyuan and Meihua Road. In the stream, they all disappeared today. People who are far away and out of the way, older than the West Lake, have explored all the places of interest. When asked about the 18 streams of Jiuxi, I was at a loss. "
Li's poem Eighteen Rivers;
I started from the 18th River, went to the first bridge in Xucun with Mengmin and Infinite, and had dinner there.
The stream is swift and the mountains are round. I can't walk after sitting for a long time. There are endless poems that I forgot.
There is a poem that says: Nine streams and eighteen streams are everywhere.
I came in the middle of March, and the spring rain began to rest.
It's amazing to run like thunder and fly.
Sit leisurely by the stream, facing the mountain.
I want to join Yunqi, so I can get rid of it.
It's a bit like Wang Ziyan, where luxury goes with the water.
Yu Yue, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, described this scene as the "Jiujiang Shibashui Scenic Spot" scenic spot only ten miles away from Hangzhou West Lake. He disapproved of Bai Juyi's praise of cold spring as "the most beautiful and secluded". He said: "Nine streams and eighteen streams are the best places in the West Lake, especially on the cold springs." And unique, such as overlapping poems praise nine streams:
Nine streams and eighteen streams are the highest in the mountain. I have heard about it for a long time, but now my interest in it is poor.
Mountain after mountain winds around the road.
Ding-dong, Ding-dong, spring, high on the tree.
During the period of the Republic of China, there were two or three private teahouses in the area around Jiuxi Eighteen Rooms, selling tea and supplying West Lake lotus root starch and sweet-scented osmanthus sugar. There aren't many tables and chairs in the teahouse. On good days in spring and autumn, tourists fill tables and chairs with stones by the river. When Yu Dafu visited the West Lake in Hangzhou, he once dined in the tea pavilion. Facing the distant mountains and near the water, I got the couplet "Three Zhu, Six Bridges, Nine Rivers and Eighteen Holes". Now there is no sentence, but it is an anecdote in the literary world. At the end of Qing Dynasty, Lin Shu wrote a famous essay "Nine Rivers and Eighteen Rivers".
Jiuxi Shibaxi
-Lin Shu
After crossing Longjing Mountain for several miles, the color of the stream is clear, and the nine streams flow northward. This stream originated in Yangmeiwu. Yu's trip to the stream began with Longjing. Qian Shan in the stream, the mountain is not steep, the heel and toe are staggered, and the blue does not know the way. Take the road by the stream, glance east and hide west, and you will get the road if there is resistance ahead. Water that does not enter a stream is called a stream. The number of streams is eighteen, which is several times that of nine. I will stop when I meet a stream. When you cross a stream, there must be a big stone flowing through it. Water stones are rushing and algae are dancing. The stream is four or five feet wide, and the shallow ones drown and the grass walks; A little deeper, you can see sand and stones.
Its mountains are full of tea trees, maple leaves and pine trees. After crossing the small stone bridge, go to Anlisi Road. The stone is particularly strange. When spring comes, the top of the rock moves, like an old man's hair. Strange rocks are stacked in green, hidden on the mountainside, if it is a cabinet, if it is a few, if it is a letter. Is the forest looking at it, but with clouds. Rhododendron, dotted with mountain roads; It's too late to spit. It's already noon.
Guangxu jihai on March 6. The travelers are Wuxiao Village in Daxian County, Gaofengqi in Changle and Shao Bo in Qiantang.
From 1953 to 1959 after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the municipal construction department of Hangzhou built a pool here to build a hydropower station for popular science education for young people. Organize the forest environment along Jiuxi and Eighteen Rivers, open roads, build hiking trails and "Wangjiang Pavilion". 1975, the Garden Department was rebuilt, and Jiuxi Restaurant, Tea Room and Reception Room were built in four phases. Clean up the forest environment, dredge spring pools, build dams, bridges, pave roads, build pavilions and expand tourist areas.
