Because of the cold weather this spring, the slender and enchanting willow branches are still in a pale yellow and hazy state, like a newborn baby, very delicate. What a pity it looks! Look at the smoky Lake Liu Xiahui. The blue waves are slightly swaying, and the lake is wide and calm. Perhaps because of Monday, most of the cruise ships docked at the lake, and the lake seemed calm and depressed. Even in such a scene, Guo Shijing, an ancient gifted scholar in Yangzhou, is not forgotten at this time: "The moon is in the sky, the scenery is quiet, and Senri Oe is in Yangzhou. From a distance, the three mountains are divided into three colors, and the four lights are flowing. The original painting is not lost with the road, and the high-rise building should be taken care of. Come and go, clear the camp, do whatever you want, and the piccolo doesn't stop at night. " And the poem says: "The West Lake is full of meandering water, with green willows on both sides, the original boat gently moves to pull out the green water, and the west and east of the lake are more enchanting." This poem. It's a pity that we didn't arrive at the moonlit night at 12 o'clock, otherwise we would be immersed in it at this moment, and the scenery, meaning and poetry would be integrated.
With the bustling crowd, we came to Diaoyutai. Diaoyutai stands in the middle of the lake, and it is said that there is also a widely circulated story. According to legend, when Emperor Qianlong visited here, he somehow became interested in fishing. So someone immediately sent a fishing rod. However, the fish in Slender West Lake are not obedient. On weekdays, the emperor Qianlong, who was always ready, fished for a long time, but no fish was hooked. The accompanying Yangzhou salt merchants were in a hurry, and immediately quietly selected several sailors with good water quality to dive underwater with live fish. Hold the lotus leaf and breathe against the lotus stem. As soon as the dried arowana rod above fell off, the live arowana below took the bait. This time, Master Long was naturally happy. Standing on the Diaoyutai, we can see the Wu Ting Bridge on the lake, which is like five lotus flowers blooming in Ran Ran. There is a treasure top on the pavilion, ceiling is painted in the pavilion, and wind chimes are hung outside the pavilion. The pier of Wu Ting Bridge is made of 12 bluestone, which forms a heavy and powerful I-shaped bridge foundation. Why can exquisite bridge body and heavy bridge foundation be so harmonious? The answer lies in opening a bridge. The bridge body of Wu Ting Bridge is composed of holes with different sizes and shapes. The ethereal dome rolling hole is matched with the solid bridge foundation, and the bridge foundation is matched with the curve of bridge opening in a straight line, with a natural and smooth proportion, so as to achieve a harmonious and unified visual effect. No wonder Mao Yisheng, a famous bridge expert in China, commented that the oldest bridge in China is Zhao Zhouqiao, the most magnificent bridge is Lugou Bridge, and the most artistically beautiful bridge is Yangzhou Wu Ting Bridge. The oval hole in the south of Diaoyutai can just see the towering white tower. The white tower is 27.5 meters high. Below is the Sumeru Pagoda, with eight sides and four corners and three niches on each side. The niche is carved with the zodiac. Seen from a distance, the White Pagoda is slim and graceful, standing there like a charming girl. The White Pagoda in Wei Wei also coincides with the Wu Ting Bridge around him. Looking around is like a beautiful picture scroll, which is displayed there. According to legend, 1784, Emperor Qianlong visited Yangzhou Slender West Lake by boat for the sixth time. Seeing the scenery around the Wu Ting Bridge from the water, I can't help but say with regret: "It's a pity that there is a white tower missing, otherwise it looks like the spring sound of Qiongdao in the North Sea." The speaker didn't care to listen, and Yangzhou salt merchants with deep pockets immediately spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy the pattern of Beihai White Pagoda with eunuchs. That night, they piled white towers with white salt packets all night. This is the story of "building a tower in one night" that has been handed down in Yangzhou so far.
From Wu Ting Bridge to Baita and then to the lake, the lake flows slowly. On the shore of the lake, the Qiongshu came earlier, but Qionghua was not in full bloom, but the tree was covered with buds of Qionghua, which was about to sprout. At the moment, I can imagine that the trees are full of blooming Qionghua, which must be unparalleled in the world. I vaguely remember a poet saying, "There are no flowers of the same kind in the four seas." Gorgeous rhetoric. According to legend, Yang Di came to Yangzhou with a veil to see the elegant demeanor of Qionghua.
After enjoying Qiong Garden, we unconsciously came to the Twenty-four Bridge, which is the most distinctive place in the water town. As soon as we stepped onto the bridge, the classic poem of Du Mu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, floated in my mind: "The green hills are covered with water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River is withered in autumn; On the moonlit night of the 24th Bridge, where can jade people teach to blow Xiao? " It is also reminiscent of the ancient beauty who stood under the bright moon in a plain shirt and skirt, holding a flute and dancing lightly by the bridge. A series of imagination can't help but make me sigh. Where is the old scene? Why did you go and never come back?
Wandering silently in the middle of bridge 24, my heart is a little scattered. I wonder if my sudden sadness disturbed me when I sighed? Or did the consciousness of seeing things and thinking about people invade me? Anyway, at this time, my heart is hazy, my mind is hazy, and my god is hazy. All the scenic spots brought me back to the Tang Dynasty and the time when Emperor Qianlong went to Yangzhou. I can't express my feelings at this time. I have a boundless attachment, a reluctant attachment, in Liu Xia, beside peach trees, by the lake. This is a euphemistic and penetrating attachment. Deeply moved by the scenery in front of me, I don't know when kindness has gone away.
After crossing the Twenty-four Bridge, my eyes were attracted by a deep corridor. There are still willows and peach blossoms on the east side of the promenade, corresponding to the long lake with rippling blue waves. However, in the west, there is a large exhibition of famous poems. Every word in every poem introduces the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou and describes its human history. Because of the time, I couldn't read all the famous poems in the gallery. I just passed by, which is a little regrettable.
It's getting late. We must turn around. Because it takes several hours to drive home, I didn't enjoy visiting every corner of Slender West Lake this time. What a pity! Looking back at Slender West Lake, I reached out and waved my sleeves, silently saying, "Slender West Lake, I will definitely visit every corner of you next time!" "
Danqing is hard to describe Slender West Lake.
It is best to go to Slender West Lake in Yangzhou in late autumn, when the lake is thinner and even the mountains in the garden are thinner. Only by losing weight does it look particularly chic, like a light and elegant painting painted by a painter.
The stone boat that sailed in slowly as early as 200 years ago is still moored on the light blue lake. What's standing on the boat overlooking? A rare monarch in the Qing Dynasty was enthusiastic and optimistic. He likes to write poems, write inscriptions and travel around. Yangzhou and Beijing have different styles, which makes him fidgety. The winding gravel road starts from the Royal Pier where he landed, and his Royal Monument Pavilion stands in the West Garden by the lake. I think the inscription is very general, but the calligraphy reveals the extremely happy mood of this smug king. It is conceivable that when he picked up the pen holder with a smile, his eyes stared at the green and clear garden, and he used it to imbue his passion and spiritual side, making every word on the tablet shine with wet and strange brilliance.
In my memory, there was a monk Shi Tao who was at odds with the Qing court. When he came to this beautiful lake, he was reluctant to leave for a long time. But he is also a painter, and it takes a certain distance to understand aesthetics. So, he bought Shouzhi Garden in Dongguan Street and went back and forth directly every day, from Shouzhi Garden to Slender West Lake. As he walked, he conceived and planned to connect the sad mood after the death of the Ming Dynasty with the beautiful mountains and rivers. So in his landscape book, there is such a sketch: a bamboo is mixed in the ruins, and a boat floats alone on the vast lake. Of course, the lake has not been painted, but from the wet blank, we can already feel the sound of running water and even smell the fragrance of grass ... This painting touched the hearts of millions of viewers, first shocked, then puzzled, thinking about it carefully, we have to admire the tragic feelings of this well-meaning and loving painter.
With Shi Tao's footsteps, another painter boarded Xiaojin Mountain. He came late, as if at dusk, but the lake was the brightest. Looking at the lake in Ming Che, his eyes are full of bright colors. He stood in the wind pavilion overlooking the panoramic view, with his back straight. This time, he was convicted and dismissed from office for opening a warehouse to help the people without authorization. After moving to Yangzhou, he wanted to make a living by selling paintings. He has experienced countless disasters and hardships in his life, and always wants to get drunk, but he is too rational and sober to be confused! In Osmanthus Hall in Xiaojinshan, he hung a couplet: "The moon is full of water, and Yun Qi is Tianshan Mountain". Some people say that this is a good place for him to experience when he is drunk and his eyes are hazy. Look at that hook and paddle, just like paving the road with stones and hitting the floor. Seemingly casual, he has his special experience and understanding. The font is steep and cold, so you can know that it is Zheng Banqiao's handwriting without signature.
Between drunkenness and drunkenness, Slender West Lake also ushered in a bold and unrestrained Su Dongpo. When relegated to Yangzhou, the Gulin Hall was built in memory of my teacher Ouyang Xiu, which was far from the Pingshan Hall built by Ou Gong himself. The fate of these two elegant prose masters is also very similar. Officials are getting smaller and smaller, and they are getting farther and farther away from Beijing. Maybe it's far from the emperor, but it's close to art. After they are frustrated, they indulge in mountains and rivers, accompanied by wine, and really live the taste of people. Su Dongpo, a genius of heaven and earth, is excellent in poetry, songs and miscellaneous studies. His calligraphy is more original and holistic. His usual stroke of the hand is fascinating. The heavy pen and ink have never stained the paper, and the momentum has penetrated the back of the paper. It seems that there is an inner lasting appeal between strokes, so strange and elegant. He obviously combines solemnity and lyricism. His "Thousand Cliffs Fu" is still hanging in Gulintang, so beautiful and elegant.
Because these artists came to Slender West Lake, she became famous in China and swallowed mountains and rivers. However, once again, she came to this famous garden saturated with antique art, and her face was even more youthful. I can't believe this is the Slender West Lake in my heart. She is so beautiful that even the most talented painter can't describe the Slender West Lake that changes every day.
Slender West Lake
Yangzhou was called Guangling in ancient times, also known as Weiyang. Before the Qing Dynasty, Yangzhou was always called the north-south transportation hub because of its proximity to the Grand Canal. Yangzhou is located in the north of Jiangsu, not in the south of the Yangtze River, but from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, northerners felt the feeling of the south of the Yangtze River as soon as they entered Yangzhou. It is said that Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan six times, and the first stop was Yangzhou. Besides, Yangzhou's landscape and humanistic atmosphere are no different from those of Jiangnan, not to mention the ancients. Even today, people have long regarded Yangzhou as the south of the Yangtze River.
I should have known the name Yangzhou in "Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou" by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. I don't know how many times I have recited the sentence "Fireworks in March in Yangzhou". Later, I read some famous sentences, such as "Ten years' dream of Yangzhou won the name of a brothel", "Twenty-four Bridges on a moonlit night, where can I teach jade people to play the flute" and "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze Yangzhou Road", and so on. I not only knew Yangzhou, but also had a yearning heart.
I've always thought of Yangzhou because there are too many places of interest in Yangzhou and the poems and songs left by literati and poets in past dynasties. It is impossible for people not to be attracted by the singing of Xizhuyuan and the charm of firefly garden. I remember that Mr. Yu Dafu wrote a poem before going to Yangzhou: "Throw gold to buy Gillian, and then play the flute in Urumqi when you are poor, and the flute will cross the Jianghuai and blow to the 24 th Bridge in Yangzhou." It can be seen that Mr. Duff had flown to Yangzhou before he arrived. He is a great writer, and more importantly, we are waiting for young players.
We set out from Taizhou when we arrived in Yangzhou. It's early summer, and the road is flat and fertile, with lush flowers and trees. Although we can't say "the spring breeze is ten miles" on the way to Yangzhou, our joy is as bright as sunshine. At noon, our bus entered Yangzhou City, and the simplicity and massiness of Yangzhou suddenly appeared before our eyes, with pavilions and carved beams and painted buildings. Qingyang and tourists let us appreciate the gentleness and prosperity of Yangzhou. I am not only amazed at the precipitation of history, but also admire the spirit of hard work of Yangzhou people. Yangzhou has been plundered for more than 1000 years since the Sui Dynasty. Compared with Hangzhou and Suzhou, it was ravaged the most. The phrase "heartbroken spring is like Yangzhou" bears witness to the devastated sadness. Maybe time is a good medicine for historical trauma. According to Yangzhou people, after nearly 30 years of Yangzhou's rule, Yangzhou, which was once brilliant and prosperous, will reappear. The bustling Yangzhou is just around the corner.
The most fascinating place in Yangzhou is Slender West Lake. I don't know how many literati are fascinated by its gorgeous charm. The name of the West Lake was borrowed from Hangzhou, but the word "thin" was added in front of it, giving it the charm of Yangzhou. I don't know what Li Qingzhao has to do with Yangzhou Slender West Lake, but her "curtain rolls west wind, people are thinner than yellow flowers", "Do you know? Do you know that?/You know what? There is no doubt that "green manure, red thinness" and "thinness" of Slender West Lake have the same effect.
After eating authentic Yangzhou fried rice, we came to Slender West Lake. The winding clear water, the willows swaying with the wind, the twenty-four bridges with wonderful workmanship, and the girls leading the boat are all the unchangeable pictures of the Slender West Lake for thousands of years. The beauty of Slender West Lake has long been famous all over the world, so I'm not surprised. What really excites me is that I met a group of egrets perched on a big locust tree. When they stay at the top of the tree, from a distance, they seem to be covered with a thick layer of snow. In March and April this year, I also saw flocks of egrets on the island in the middle of the lake in my hometown. They like to live by water, walk in groups and fly on the water. I think if I saw the egret in front of me in my hometown, then I really have something to do with Yangzhou and Slender West Lake. The beauty of Slender West Lake lies in its exquisite scale, its bridges and willows, and its original shipmates. These egrets living in harmony with nature should also be a unique scenery of Slender West Lake in May!
Leaving Slender West Lake is always a little sad, which may be a heart disease for all tourists. What Mr. Duff didn't give up was the beautiful girl who punted for him, but what I didn't give up was the pure beauty of Slender West Lake and the group of egrets as light as snow. It seems to me that this autumn, I will meet them on an island in the middle of my hometown lake, and we will not be separated.
Maybe beautiful things always give people more reverie. At this moment, my heart is once again full of wonderful poems such as "Fireworks in March in Yangzhou", "Four hundred and eighty halls in southern dynasties, and how many pagodas are misty and rainy". I thought, the misty rain in Yangzhou in March should be another scene. At that time, Yangzhou and Slender West Lake were the real poetic Jiangnan. Then, it occurred to me that in March next year, I would invite three or five confidants, hire a canoe, set out from the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, go downstream, and then visit Yangzhou.
