Walk the Grand Canal
Jiang Shikai
This has been me for almost twenty years
Study the history of the Grand Canal,

Sigh at everything
It takes time to settle
There is also an attitude of insisting that Qingshan does not relax
in order to be stable

Sigh carp
Jiang Shikai
Freezing ice is not what fish want
I don't know how cold the water is
Even if there is a dream of leaping over the dragon gate
It is in vain to leap at the wrong time
Leap out of the lake and freeze into ice
Dare to jump is a hero
There are thousands of ancient fish
Only the carp has its name

There is such a saying about the eighteen tea trees, according to legend, Qianlong came to Longjing Village during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, he was standing in front of the Hugong Temple and watched the tea girl picking tea, suddenly someone from the palace reported that the queen mother was seriously ill, Qianlong immediately put the tea buds in his pocket and drove back to the capital with a whip, the queen mother saw Qianlong smell the fragrance on his body for a while and couldn't help but ask what it was, so the Qianlong Emperor ordered the palace maid to cook the tea in the pocket, and the queen mother drank the tea after the eyebrows were clear and the liver fire disappeared. After that, Qianlong issued an order to seal the eighteen tea trees in front of Hugong Temple as "imperial tea" and send special people to take care of them for the queen mother to enjoy.
Today, the eighteen tea trees are protected as national treasures in Longjing Village and are fenced off so that no visitors are allowed to enter and can only observe them from afar. The fence is engraved with the words "Eighteen Trees".
