Baoding Eight Scenes (Shanggu Eight Scenes)
Shanggu is the name of an ancient county. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he divided the world into thirty-six counties, and changed the central and northern parts of Hebei to Shanggu County, with Baoding located among them. Later, Baoding became the city of Hebei, and people called Baoding Shanggu. The eight scenic spots in Shanggu are the eight scenic spots in Baoding.
1. City Pavilion Lingxiao - Daci Pavilion
Daci Pavilion is located on Yuhua Road, Baoding City, close to the ancient lotus pond in the west. It is a representative work of ancient architecture in Baoding, a famous historical and cultural city. A symbol of the ancient city of Baoding, there is a saying that "it is impossible to visit Baoding without Daci Pavilion". Daci Pavilion was founded by Zhang Rou, Cai Guogong of the Yuan Dynasty (first built in 1227-1232 AD). It was originally called Daci Pavilion. It is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Baoding. It is known as "Shi Pavilion Lingxiao" in history. Its majesty can be called "countless high". Ten feet and dozens of miles away, you can see the red and green clouds in the pavilion." The existing Daci Pavilion was a building that was renovated many times after suffering a fire during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
2. Kui Tower should be used as a place to stay - the ruined wall still exists today, but the ancient tower no longer exists
The relevant records are: "In ancient Baoding, there were two Kui Towers. One was built in In the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty, it was located on the top of the ancient city wall east of the south gate. It was an octagonal building with double eaves. The other one was built in the early Qing Dynasty and was located south of Daci Pavilion. It built a six-foot-long room and a tower on the top, with four holes underneath. Kui Tower, commonly known as Chuan Xin Tower, and later Chuan Xing Tower, still has the place name of Chuan Xing Tower. Kui Tower is also known as Kuixing Pavilion and Wenchang Pavilion. It is a symbol of Kui Tower's long history in the ancient city. Echoing the Kui Star among the twenty-eight stars in the sky, two Kui Towers, known as one of the eight scenic spots in Baoding, are located on the ancient city wall to the east of the south gate. However, the "Chuanxin Building" that remained in the hearts of old Baoding people ceased to exist as early as the 1940s.
3. Hengcui Zhaohui - Zhaohui is everywhere, but where is the tower?
Hengcui Zhaohui, as the name suggests, should be that the ancient building Hengcui and morning glow complement each other, creating a majestic scene. Among the eight ancient sceneries in Baoding, this should be the scene of a lady. Guo Fen, a cabinet scholar in the Qing Dynasty, described it in his poem: "The ancient Taizhou is alone in its scenic spots, and the name of the building is Hengcui. The sky is bright and the sea is bright, and the sun is adding green to the building, and the rain is blowing towards the sky, and the green is surrounding the building." Just imagine that year. The cityscape of ancient Baoding - Daci Pavilion stands tall where Hengcui Tower is located, Kuixing Tower is listed among them, the Governor's Mansion is majestic and solemn, the lotus pond is beautiful in spring, the bells of the ancient temple outside the city are ringing, and the birds are singing and swallows are dancing and the grass is dancing among the pedestrians. The water is clear and blue, and beyond the east city there are flowers and willows stretching as far as the eye can see. Not to mention climbing high and overlooking the beauty of Langfeng Mountain, or the undulating pines at the ancient temple in Xicheng.
Just looking at the bustling crowds downstairs at Hengcui, isn't it a blessing to live in such a beautiful city?
According to research, Hengcui Tower is a drum tower built in the early Yuan Dynasty. It should be located east of the Governor's Mansion and west of the Bell Tower. Across South Street, facing south, it is about 8 meters high and has a passage about 5 meters wide at the bottom. There are archways on the left and right in front of the building, with Jintai Junyan on the left and senior officials of the Zhao Dynasty on the right. The morning sun rises in the east, the towers are full of color, the auspicious clouds cover the sky, and the air is majestic. In addition, the city is full of greenery, red and green, and the scene is self-evident.
4. Lotus Ripples and Summer Beauty - Ancient Lotus Pond
The ancient lotus pond was first built more than 770 years ago by Zhang Rou. It was originally called "Xiangxue Garden". At that time, "The curtains are sparse, the blue waves are rippling, the fish are swimming and the birds are flying. Although the city is noisy, I can still enjoy the joy of Sanxiang and Qizeze" ("Linyi Pavilion"). After the Yuan Dynasty, Baoding suffered an earthquake and the garden was destroyed. It was not until the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty that Zhang Lie, then the prefect of Baoding, paid his official expenses to restore the garden, and the garden was able to see the light of day again. In the pool, there are "artistic lotuses with scales, and willows planted around the pool like sills". Pavilions and walls were built and turned into the "Shui Jian Office", which means using water as a mirror to examine the body and mind, and become a feast for dignitaries. A place of pleasure. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Baoding Road in the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Baoding Prefecture. In the second year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, the Governor's Office of Zhili in the Yuan Dynasty was upgraded to the Governor's Office. From then on, Baoding Prefecture became the capital of Zhili Province. In the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign (1733), Li Weifeng, the governor of Zhili, opened an academy in Lotus Pond, added a hotel, and later expanded the hotel into a palace. During the Qing Dynasty, the Lotus Pond underwent three large-scale renovations and renovations. The garden is filled with rockeries, ancient trees, exotic flowers, and mountains, waters, buildings, platforms, pavilions, and pavilions scattered at random, forming the famous Ten Lotus Pond. The two sceneries have won the reputation of "a city with few doubts is like Penglai". Since it was expanded into a temporary palace, emperors and empresses of the Qianlong, Jiaqing and Guangxu dynasties all came here to visit and visit. In the 32nd year of Guangxu (1906), the Zhili Governor made the lotus pond a "Lotus Park" after repairs were made. In the 10th year of the Republic of China, Cao Rui, the governor of Zhili Province, and Cao Kun, the inspector, raised funds for reconstruction, and asked President Xu Shichang to write a four-character plaque with "ancient lotus pond" on it. The garden is centered on Linyi Pavilion, which is the water pavilion, and consists of twelve sceneries including Junzi Changsheng Pavilion, Guanlan Pavilion, Zhuojin Pavilion, Hanlv Pavilion, Zaoyong Pavilion, Xiangqin Pavilion, etc. They are all set around the pond and are densely packed. Appropriate and well-proportioned.
5. Spring rain in Donggao - several spring breezes and several rains, all the flowers disperse their fragrance
Chen Zhengyou of the Qing Dynasty wrote a poem praising Donggao Yun: "Dry rain in the eastern suburbs The fallen flowers are moistening, and the husband of the field joins hands to talk about the mulberry trees. The plateau is full of spring, and the chicken water is newly added to the sand. "It can be seen from this that the so-called spring rain in Donggao is just a description of the natural pastoral scenery outside the ancient city of Dongguan.
According to records, in ancient times, Baoding City had four gates and four gates. The North Gate was the Imperial Conduit with a street length of three miles; . Only Dongguan has low-lying terrain, sparse villages, endless fields, small bridges and flowing water. Tao Yuanming, the great pastoral poet of the Jin Dynasty, has a well-known line in his "Returning Words" - "Climb to Donggao to soothe the whistle, and write poems near the clear stream." This is where the "Spring Rain in Donggao", one of the eight ancient sceneries, comes from. . "The east wind rises overnight, and the spring scenery returns to the mountains." Advocating nature is not just for modern people, it has been around since ancient times.
The specific scenic spot of Donggao Spring Rain is on the soil slope east of the big stone bridge in Dongfeng Park and north. Legend has it that it is the site of a beacon tower in the Northern Song Dynasty. Before liberation, it was turned into a mass grave and execution ground. After liberation, it was transformed into Dongfeng Park.
6. Autumn waves in Xisha - looking for small bridges and flowing water in the ancient city
Among the "Eight Scenic Spots in Shanggu" in Baoding, two of them are related to Fuhe River. In ancient times, the upper reaches of Fuhe River were called both Yimuquan River and Jige River. The spring water gathered and flowed day and night, flowing to the vicinity of Lingyu Temple (today's No. 8 Middle School), and then divided into two. One stream flows into the Fu River through the south gate of the gate, and the roaring sound of the water is the "Autumn Wave of Xicha". One stream goes northeast around the city, joins the Fu River on the north side of Tianshui Bridge in Nanguan, and then flows into the city. The water in the river is crystal clear, and fish can swim everywhere. It is a "chicken with clear water and clear surroundings". Fu River, that mother-like river that once flowed clear and clear water, has gone from pure and kind to filthy. I have never understood how Baoding people could treat this mother river that once raised them like this. A few years ago, I heard that Fuhe would be "paid off", but now there is no news. At this time, Fuhe was hiding his face and crying, waiting hard.
7. A chicken's water is surrounded by clear water - when you drink water, you can hear the birds chirping and want to ask how clear the city is.
In the ancient city of Baoding, one acre of springs and the Fuhe River have contributed to the ancient city's former glory. . There is a mural in Baoding Binhe Park. The above-mentioned words "Ji Shui Huan Qing" are as follows: "In the early Yuan Dynasty, when Zhang Rou was rebuilding Qingyuan County, he built a new canal to divert one acre of chicken spring water into the city. In the Jianwen Year of the Ming Dynasty When the earthen city of Baoding was transformed into a brick city, a moat was built and an acre of spring water surrounded the ancient city. The clear river water and the majestic ancient city of Baoding constitute a beautiful scenery surrounded by chicken water. Yimu Spring has also earned the reputation of "Little Jiangnan" because of the moving scenery of roses and lotus smelling ten miles away and birds swimming and fish singing and dancing. In the 1950s, the "Eight Major Factories" relying on one acre of spring water laid the foundation for Baoding's industrial take-off. However, due to the large-scale exploitation of groundwater in the later period, not only the "funnel area" was formed, but also the mother river of Baoding was cut off and dried up. "Pearls and thousands of Dendrobium spring roots" have become the memories of the elderly.
8. Wolf Peak Competition - Langya Mountain
Langya Mountain is a majestic and famous mountain with beautiful scenery. As early as the Warring States Period two thousand years ago, "Langya Mountain" "Yajingxiu" was one of the ten scenic spots in the Yan Kingdom at that time. Today, it is both a provincial patriotic education base and a provincial forest park. The newly completed "Five Warriors Exhibition Hall of Langya Mountain" covers an area of ??816 square meters, with a construction area of ??1,300 square meters. The museum contains pictures, historical materials, anti-Japanese war cultural relics, battle scene sculptures, etc., which vividly reproduce the heroic achievements and tragic history of our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians under the leadership of the party in fighting the Japanese aggressors and defending the country.
Langya Mountain is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, 45 kilometers southwest of Yi County in Baoding, and 45 kilometers away from Baoding City. It is named after its many strange peaks, which are towering and steep and look like wolf teeth. The main peak, Lotus Petal, is 1,105 meters above sea level. The cliffs on the west and north sides are thousands of meters high, while the east and south sides are slightly lower and gentler. Each has a narrow path leading to the main peak. Climbing high and looking into the distance, you can see thousands of peaks and ridges, undulating like waves in the sea. Looking closer to the west, the stone forest stands tall and natural, the large and small lotus peaks are like hibiscus emerging from the water, proudly blooming, and the clouds and mist in the Chui Gorge are mysterious and unpredictable.

Special snacks
1. Donkey meat roasted
Origined from Caohe Town, Xushui County, now spread all over the land of Yanzhao, "dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground" ". Donkey meat roasting is said to have originated in the early Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di rebelled and went to Caohe, Xushui County, Baoding Prefecture, where he was defeated. King Yan was so hungry that he was about to see the King of Hell. The soldier came up with an idea and asked him to imitate the ancients and kill the horse to eat. In fact, as the saying goes, "Donkey meat is fragrant, horse meat is smelly, so I would rather not eat mule meat to death." The fiber of horse meat is thicker and not particularly delicious. But he was too hungry, so he cooked the horse meat and ate it with local fire-roasted food. Unexpectedly, it tastes very good. Later, local people also began to kill horses to make "horse meat roast", and horse meat roast became famous because it was once eaten by the emperor. But the good times did not last long, because horses were needed to fight the Mongols. The horses here are not dead horses cooked and eaten, but living war horses. Horses have become strategic materials, so of course they cannot be burned and eaten by the common people. But what should I do if I want to eat horse meat and burn it? So a substitute emerged - donkey meat. The fiber of donkey meat is finer than that of horse meat, and it is lean but not fat. It has been a good delicacy since ancient times. Moreover, the Baoding area belongs to the central Hebei Plain, with rich water and grass, which is most suitable for raising donkeys. There are two types of donkeys in Hebei, one is the Bohai donkey in the coastal area, and the other is the Taihang donkey in the mountainous areas and plains. The donkeys in Baoding are generally Taihang donkeys, while the other donkey meat roasted in Hejian is Bohai donkey. Comparatively speaking, Taihang donkey is more delicious than Bohai donkey. So under various inter-species meetings, donkey meat fire roasting was born.
