When it comes to gardens, it seems that there are only two factions, one is the northern royal gardens of Beijing and Chengde, which are bold and magnificent, and the other is the southern private gardens represented by Suzhou, which are exquisite and transparent. In fact, there can be another school of gardens, that is, Yangzhou gardens.
Li Dou of the Qing Dynasty said in the Yangzhou Painting Record:
Hangzhou wins with lakes and mountains;
Suzhou won the city;
Yangzhou wins with garden pavilions.
The three stand together,
Don't be intimidated.
In Li Dou's impression, Yangzhou gardens actually surpassed those in Suzhou.
In fact, Yangzhou gardens integrate the beauty of the south and the majesty of the north, and have both "north and south shows", and the artistic style and scenery characteristics can be called a model of classical Chinese gardens.
Of course, Yangzhou is not only beautiful and amazing, but also amazingly tragic, Xin Abandoned Disease stood on the Beigu Mountain, across the river to look north of Yangzhou trampled by the Golden Soldier Iron Horse, sighed: "Forty-three years, looking at the middle of the memory, Beacon Yangzhou Road"! Yangzhou, which is rich and beautiful, has become the first choice for soldiers. Hundreds of years later, there were even more tragic "Yangzhou Ten Days" and "Jiading Three Massacres", this massacre was still caused by the Qing Army, a descendant of Jin Bing. Since then, Yangzhou has probably declined.
Zhenjiang, which is adjacent to Yangzhou, also has a rich cultural history, "white snake green snake water flooding jinshan doufahai", jinshan temple and fahai monk are in Zhenjiang. My interest in Zhenjiang, on the other hand, came from Xin's words. His "Yongyule Jingkou Beiguting Huaigu" is magnificent and singing for thousands of years, and Jingkou is the ancient name of Zhenjiang. We learned another song in our junior high school textbook:
Northwest looking at Shenzhou,
Full of scenery North Gulou.
How many things have risen and fallen through the ages,
long
The Yangtze River is not endless.
Therefore, since the middle school era, I have fantasized that one day I can also stand in the Beigu Building, thinking about the rise and fall of the ages.
Who knew that as Liu Kezhuang's words said, he waited until "the students are old, and the opportunity comes!" ”
I bought a map, one side is Zhenjiang, the other side is Yangzhou, it looks like this is a twin city, always bound together.
Compared with the map, the car going to Yangzhou along the highway along the elevated cable-stayed Runyang Bridge across the wide Yangtze River, just crossed the river, saw a huge road sign on the side of the road, written "Guazhou Ferry", the famous sentence of the ancient can not help but emerge Wang Anshi's verse:
Jingkou Guazhou a water room,
Chung Shan is only separated by a few heavy mountains,
Spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River,
When will the moon shine on me.
Everyone knows that Wang Anshi used the stories of "spring wind and spring wind again", "spring wind and full", changed a few stubbles, and Gazier suddenly jumped out of a "spring wind and green".
The adjective "green" is used as a verb to introduce the ancient famous sentence of Lu You.
How did you know the world was difficult in the early years?
The north of the Central Plains looks like a mountain.
Lou boat night snow Gua Chau ferry,
The iron horse autumn wind is scattered.
How bold is that? Only a hundred years have passed since Wang Anshi to Lu You, and the water across The water between Jingkou Guazhou and The Song Dynasty is already a two-fold heaven of Song and Jin, and Lu You can only hope to take the "Lou Boat" warship to recover GuazhouDu in the snow at night, or to cross the iron horse and raise a battle knife in the autumn wind of hunting and rushing out of the Shaanxi Dashan Pass at the junction of the Jin and Song Dynasties.
Today's "Jingkou Guazhou a water room" has long been no longer used "building boat ferry", Runyang Bridge is a large span suspension bridge, the clearance under the bridge is fifty meters, the bus flies across the Yangtze River in ten minutes in "mid-air", and arrives in Yangzhou an hour later.
