Broken bridge and snow is a famous scenery on the West Lake, which is famous for its looming bridge deck in winter snow. It belongs to one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. Broken bridge snow is a good place to enjoy the snow scene of West Lake. The legend of the White Snake, a famous folklore in China, adds romance to the broken bridge scenery.
When the snow began to fall, I stood on the gem mountain and looked south. The West Lake is covered with silver and Bai Causeway is covered with snow and ice. The arch surface of the broken bridge is exposed, and the ice and snow melt in the sun, revealing mottled bridge railings, while the two ends of the bridge are still covered with snow.
The ethereal stone bridge seems to be hidden, but the white snow in the culvert shines brightly, which is in contrast with the taupe bridge deck and looks like a broken bridge from a distance, so it is called a broken bridge. Standing on the bridge, looking around, the distant mountains are close to the water, giving people a deep impression of vitality.
Extended data:
The earliest recorded "Broken Bridge" is Zhang Hu in the Tang Dynasty. His poem "Broken Bridge is barren and rusty" shows that the broken bridge is an ancient stone bridge with mottled moss. At the beginning of the heavy snow, the original mossy ancient stone bridge has been damaged but not gone.
It is inevitable that there are some residual mountains and water, so the rare landscape of the West Lake "Broken Bridge and Residual Snow" was drawn up. Amin writer Wang Keyu has a quip about the beauty of the West Lake in Talking about Picking up Vegetables in Xizi Lake: "It is better to win the West Lake than the Rain Lake.
Rain lake is not as good as moon lake, and moon lake is not as good as snow lake ... How many people can really lead the landscape in the world! "Hangzhou, located in the south of the Yangtze River, has a short snow period every year, especially on snowy days. As soon as the silver makeup is wrapped, it creates a constant time.
A snowy lake with different scenery. Whenever it snows in Chuqing, I come to the broken bridge and look to the west and north. The terraced fields in Gushan and Geling are like jade, crystal clear and have a kind of Leng Yan beauty.
Legend of broken bridge and broken snow:
West Lake is a broken bridge, originally called Duanjia Bridge. A long time ago, the white sand embankment of the West Lake meandered from the lonely mountain to here, and there was only a small wooden bridge with no name, which was closely connected with the shore of the lake. Visitors who want to visit this lonely mountain must pass this small wooden bridge.
In the sun and rain, the bridge deck often breaks, which brings great inconvenience to tourists. There is a humble hut by the bridge, where a couple named Duan lived. Both of them are kind and hard-working. Men fish in the lake for a living, and women set up wine stalls at the door to sell local wine.
Because the wine tastes bad, customers seldom come to the door and business is light. One day, when the sun was setting and the couple were about to close the door, an old man with white hair and rags came, saying that he had come all the way and was penniless and asked to stay overnight. Duan Jia and his wife saw that he was old and pitiful.
Enthusiastically let him stay, but also burned a carp just caught from the West Lake, and put on a bowl of homemade wine to entertain the elderly. You're welcome. The old man drank three bowls in a row and then fell asleep on the bed.
When the white-haired old man left the next morning, he said, "Thank you for your hospitality. I have three kinds of wine medicines here, which can help you make good wine. " Say, take out three red wine medicines and say goodbye.
Duan Jia and his wife put the old man's three kinds of wine medicines in a wine-making jar, and the wine brewed was bright red and extremely sweet. Since then, every day, customers are crowded, and Duan Jia scarlet wine is famous in Hang Cheng, and its business is booming day by day.
Duan Jia and his wife tore down the hut and built a restaurant. In order to thank the white-haired old man, they saved a sum of money and prepared to thank him well. Years passed, and three years passed. This winter, it was snowing heavily in the West Lake, and the white-haired old man braved the heavy snow to come to Duanjia Hotel.
When the couple saw the benefactor coming, they were overjoyed and asked the old man to stay in his house for a long time. However, the old man will say goodbye the next day. When they left, Duan Jia and his wife took out 320 pieces of silver and gave it to the old man.
The old man declined with a smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I am a lonely old man. What's the use of asking so much money? " You still use it in the most important place! "After that, he walked across the snow to the bridge.
Duan Jia and his wife stood at the door to see each other off. They saw that the old man had just stepped onto the small wooden bridge, his foot slipped, the bridge broke and the old man fell into the lake. The couple rushed to the rescue, and suddenly saw the white-haired old man standing on the lake, walking on the ground, smiling and waving to them, drifting away.
Duan Jia and his wife realized that the white-haired old man was not a mortal. Remembering what the old man said when he left, he used the money to build a tall Qingshi arch bridge and a pavilion at the bridge head. Since then, people who visit the West Lake are no longer afraid of the road slipping and breaking the bridge.
