Ten Legends of West Lake in Hangzhou: lake legend Story 1. Xiao Chun, Su Causeway.

In the fifth year of Yuan You in the Northern Song Dynasty (1090), when Su Shi (Dongpo) was the magistrate of Hangzhou, he dredged the West Lake and built a long embankment with lake mud, later called Su Causeway, with a total length of 2.8 kilometers. Six bridges were built on the dike, from south to north, namely Yingbo Bridge, Suolan Bridge, Wangshan Bridge, Dike Bridge, Dongpu Bridge and Hongqiao.

There are more than 40 varieties such as willow, hibiscus, peach and begonia planted along the embankment.

Su Causeway has beautiful scenery, with different flavors of sunny, rainy, cloudy and snowy, and the beautiful scenery of the four seasons is also different. Especially in the early morning of spring, poplars blow ashore, colorful peaches burn, the sun shines on the embankment, and the spring scenery is picturesque, so it has the reputation of "Xiao Chun, Su Causeway".

Lake Legend Story 2: Autumn Moon in Pinghu

Pinghu Qiuyue is located at the western end of Bai Causeway, with its back against the lonely mountain and facing the outer lake. Wanghu Pavilion was built in Tang Dynasty, and Longwang Temple was built in Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the autumn moon in Pinghu was named as one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake.

Wang Cong's poem "Autumn Moon in Pinghu" in the Song Dynasty said: "Cold light has been distributed all night, and the waterwheel is cloudless. Jiu Feng is far from the west wind, and the devil lights jade pots one after another. "

Whenever the air is crisp in autumn. The lake is as calm as a mirror, and the clean autumn moon is in the sky. The moonlight and the lake complement each other, which is quite a sense of "one lake is full of color in autumn". So a monument was set up by the lake, titled "Autumn Moon in Pinghu". The couplet of "Hutian Bilou" says: Wanqing Lake is as flat as a mirror; April is good, and autumn is best.

The story of the legendary lake 3. Broken bridge and broken snow

There is a waterside pavilion with "light clouds and fresh water", and there is a pavilion with broken bridges and broken snow beside the bridge. Broken bridge snow generally means that after the winter snow, the snow on the sunny side of the bridge melts, but there is still broken snow like silver on the shady side. Seen from a height, the bridge seems to be broken.

Standing on the bridge, looking around, the distant mountains are close to the water, and the panoramic view is a good place to enjoy the snow scene of the West Lake.

Legend of the lake story four. Qu Yuan's Wind and Lotus

Quyuan Fenghe, located in the northwest corner of the West Lake, is famous for its light and shadow, and is one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake.

Every summer, the smoky wind blows, and the fragrant lotus wine overflows, which is intoxicating. People call it "Qu Yuan Hefeng".

In the Qing Dynasty, when the restaurant was closed, Kangxi wrote down the ten scenic monuments of the West Lake when he visited the lake, so he changed the word "Qu" to "Qu" and changed the "river wind" to "Feng He". The scenic name of "Qu Yuan Feng He" has been in use ever since.

Lake legend story five, Leifeng sunset

The story of Leifeng Pagoda and White Snake is widely circulated. The Leifeng Pagoda in the story is located on Zhaoqian Mountain on the south bank of the West Lake. Qian Hongchu, king of wuyue in Song Dynasty, was built because Huang Fei had a son. The first name is "Huangfei Tower".

The original 13-storey pagoda was planned to be changed to 7 floors due to poor financial resources, and only 5 floors were built during the hard work. The structure is masonry structure with wooden corridor outside. The inner wall is embedded with banners engraved with Hua Yan Jing, and the statue of sixteen arhats of gold and copper is enshrined under the tower.

The building is magnificent, and it is a place to collect scriptures. Because the hill where the tower site is located was named Leifeng Mountain, later generations renamed it "Leifeng Tower".

Legend of the lake story six, Nanping night bell

Jingci Temple, located at the foot of Huiri Peak in Nanping Mountain on the south bank of West Lake, was founded in wuyue, and was called "Yongming Temple" in ancient times, which has experienced many vicissitudes. There are monuments such as Zongjingtang, Huiri Pavilion, Jizutang and Yunmujing in the temple, and there is a release pond in front of the mountain.

Rebuilt in 1986, it is a three-story and two-story building of Xie Dingfeng, with Brahma bell hanging on the upper floor and Jingci Temple Dizang Hall on the lower floor. Brahma clock is 3 meters high, 2.3 meters in diameter and weighs 10 tons.

Jingci Temple's late bell rings, the echo floats melodiously in the mountains, and the melodious bell echoes again, which reminds people of the poem "Nanping Late Bell" by Amin Nie Danian: "The willow is dark and the flowers are bright, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the sound is faint first." The meditation couch has repeatedly surprised the monk into meditation, and the window has been biased to tease the guests. "

Lake legend story seven, watching fish in Huagang

Huagang Guan Yu is located in the southwest corner of West Lake, bordering Su Causeway in the east, Xiaonanhu in the north and Xili Lake in the south. According to records, there is a stream at the foot of Huajia Mountain, which flows through here and flows into the West Lake.

Because there are many flowers and trees planted by the stream, English people often fall into the stream, hence the name "Huagang". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Yunsheng, the minister, built a house here, raised fish with flowers and built a garden, which gradually became large. The historical name of fish watching in Huagang originated from the title of "Landscape Painting of West Lake" by Ma Yuan, a court painter in the Southern Song Dynasty.

During Kangxi's southern tour of Hangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, he wrote a book "Seeing Fish Scenery" and set up a monument pavilion beside the fish pond.

Legends of Jianghu Eight or Six Lang Wenying

Aladdin, a great Hui businessman in Yuan Dynasty, built a mosque in Hangzhou after his death and was buried here, commonly known as Hui Hui's Tomb. In the Qing Dynasty, Liu Lang Wenying's old appearance was restored.

There is the name of Liuzhou. In the meantime, the oriole dances and cries, so it is called "Liu Lang Wen Ying".

Lake legend story nine, twin peaks in the clouds

Nanfeng is 256.9 meters above sea level, and Beifeng is 355 meters above sea level. The two peaks face each other, more than ten miles apart.

Zhang Dai's "Ten Scenes and Two (Double) Peaks in the West Lake Insert Clouds": One peak is in the upper position, and the two have a good talk. There is the West Lake here, so I refuse to go.

This scene was originally overlooking the lake, but it was moved to land in the early Qing Dynasty to erect a monument.

When the mountain is foggy, the two peaks show their double tips, just like the peaks go straight into the sky. The natural scenery is extremely beautiful, the peaks are magnificent, and the sunny and rainy days are different in the morning, especially after rain or cloudy and cloudy days. The colorful clouds and white clouds are thick or light, flickering and obscuring, but the clouds are mountains and hazy.

Santan Yin Yue, one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake, is located in the south-central part of the West Lake. It, together with Hu Xinting and Ruan Gongdun, is called "Three Islands in the Lake", just like Penglai Island in the ancient legend of China, so it is also called Zhou Xiaoying.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhou Xiaoying had become a good place to enjoy the moon on the lake. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, silt dredged from the West Lake was used to build dikes around the island to form a lake in the lake. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, between dikes and islands, curved bridges ran through the north and south, and earth dikes connected things, forming a garden feature of "there are islands in the lake and lakes in the island".

The total area is about 7 hectares, and the water surface accounts for 60%. Overlooking the whole Xiaoying Island, it is like a huge "field".

But at that time, women could not appear in public, so she disguised as men with the girl Yin Xin and went to Yuezhou to study. On the way, I met Yin Zhuangyuan and Shijiu Temple who were also going to study in Yuezhou. Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai hit it off and went to Yuezhou together.

During the three years in Yuezhou, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were inseparable, studying together during the day and sleeping together at night.

Folk Stories and Legends in Plum Blossom Monuments in Hangzhou

In the early years, there were ingenious old masons in Hangzhou. The old stonemason chiseled and carved stones all his life, and his beard and hair turned white. Nothing else, except good craftsmanship, which has made a name for itself in Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Huzhou.

The old stonemason is old, hunched and blind, but he still goes up the mountain every day. One day, the old stonemason found a shiny stone at the foot of Nanshan, which seemed to reflect the shadow of a tree. The old stonemason suspected that he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes and looked at it carefully. Yes! Clearly reflect the shadow of plum blossom, just like growing on a stone. The old stonemason reached out and touched the stone, which was flat and bare. The stone head is white silk embroidered by the girl's daughter-in-law, and the pattern was drawn before the embroidery. The older the stonemason looks, the more he likes it. The more he watched it, the more reluctant he was to leave. He tried his best to dig out the stone and staggered home.

The old stonemason looked at the stone for three months, touched it for three months, and thought for three months before he began to carve on it. This stone is too hard! Only one powder will pop up when chiseling, and only a few sparks will pop up when hammering. But the old stonemason didn't lose heart, didn't lose heart, just hammered. Hammer and chisel, carve a petal in ten days and a flower in a hundred days. Year after year, the old stonemason carved day after day and finally carved plum blossoms on the stone.

Plum blossoms are carved. What beautiful plum blossoms! Facing the spring breeze, a tree blooms like a sunrise and white jade. The old stonemason was exhausted, and the old stonemason died beside the plum blossom.

The old stonemason has no children and no property. Everyone respected him very much, so they buried him in a common field and erected his last plum blossom monument on the top of the grave.

Over time, strange things appeared! The plum blossom on the stone tablet turned into a meeting. Every spring, the plum blossoms on other trees are in bud, while the plum blossoms on the stone tablets are in full bloom. In summer, other trees are just green, and the plum trees on the stone tablet are already lush; In autumn, when there is no Ye Er on other trees, the plum tree on the stone tablet begins to shed leaves; In winter, the northwest wind messed up all the other plum trees, except the plum tree on the stone tablet.

This stone tablet can also predict the weather: when the sun is about to rise, it is bright and bright; When it is cloudy, the stone tablet is foggy and wet; When it was about to rain, the stone tablet was gloomy and wet. People can know the seasonal solar terms from this stone tablet, and it is raining in the sky. With this stone tablet, farmers will not make wrong arrangements for planting; People who go out should rest in the bank and have a certain mind. Everyone loves this stone tablet and regards it as a treasure.

One spring, a big official came to Hangzhou. Big officials have all heard of this magical stone tablet. Shortly after he arrived in Hangzhou, he took a group of his men to the old stonemason's grave. At first glance, the plum blossoms carved on the stone tablet are in full bloom. He was so happy that he went back to discuss with his master dog, so he built a yamen next to the old stonemason's grave, built a wall, surrounded the stone monument in the back garden, and publicly posted a notice saying: This place is public land, owned by the public, and ordinary people are forbidden to enter.

Strange to say, this stone tablet was sealed in the official garden. In less than two days, the plum blossoms on the monument gradually faded. Whether it rains or not, the stone tablet will always be gloomy and wet. Slowly, the stone tablet was covered with moss, which not only lost its luster, but also became extremely ugly. For this matter, the official was so bored that he didn't want to eat and couldn't sleep. He walked around the stone tablet all day. Seeing this, the dog head came over and offered a plan: "Sir, I think this is because the atmosphere is humid. If you put a torch at the foot of the stone tablet to dry it, the moisture will be fine. " When the official heard the truth, he sent someone to carry dry wood and charcoal. Burning on the top of the old stonemason's grave.

As soon as the flame reached the stone tablet, it exploded with a bang, and the raging flame sprayed far and far; In an instant, the yamen and the garden were on fire. The big officer and the touts tried to escape, but they couldn't escape, so they burned to death inside. The fire burned for three days and nights, burning the yamen into rubble, leaving only half a charred flagpole in front of the door.

This magical stone tablet was destroyed like this! Today, there are two place names left in Hangzhou Dongcheng: one is called "Plum Blossom Monument"; Another place is called "burnt flagpole".

Smelly Qin Gui.

There is a moon powder near the West Lake. There are four iron statues kneeling in front of Yue's tomb, including two couples who betrayed their motherland and killed Yue Fei.

Legend has it that in the Ming Dynasty, a newly appointed Fu Tai came to Hangzhou. This man is also surnamed Qin, and he is a descendant. Soon after Mrs. Fu took office, she went to the West Lake with her hands. When I came to Yuefen, I saw my ancestors kneeling in front of others, covering their faces with clothes and stepping back.

Fu Tai returned to the yamen, fidgeting and fidgeting, so he called touts to discuss and wanted to move the iron statue.

Touts smoothed her beard and thought about it; "If the move is clear, the people will be miserable, and maybe they will make a big deal out of it. I think it's better to let the iron statue be thrown into the West Lake in the dark. If the iron statue sinks to the bottom of the lake, the waterwheel will not be found even if it is dry. "

Futai said; "wonderful! Wonderful! " That night, I sent someone to lose the iron statue.

I didn't know that a strange thing happened at dawn the next day; The water in the West Lake stinks. The stench is bad, and pedestrians are dizzy and want to vomit.

I don't know who it was, but I found two iron statues missing from Yue's tomb and cried. "Look, the two iron statues are gone. Someone must have thrown them into the West Lake. Otherwise, how could the lake be so smelly? "

When people learned the news of the loss of the iron statue of Yuefen, they all went to Futai Yamen to complain and demanded the arrest of the bad guys who lost the iron statue.

Mrs fu is still sleeping in bed, and when she hears the noise from outsiders, she gets up and asks questions. The men told the reason. Futai felt guilty, so he called to say that he was ill.

Where the people refused to leave, more and more people gathered, and the stone lion in front of Futai yamen was almost crushed to pieces. I was afraid that something would happen to Futai, so I crustily skin of head and came out to meet people. He said: "This-this is all a rumor. You must not be credulous. "

The common people said, "Is it a rumor? You will know after reading it. "

As he spoke, he gathered around and insisted on pulling him away. Unable to help Taiwan Province, I had to go to the West Lake in a sedan chair with eight people. There are still a few miles away from the lake, and sure enough, there is a stench coming straight at the car door. Fortunately, he didn't have time to eat that day, and finally managed to hold back his vomiting.

When the car reached the shore, it hit the platform and looked out through the gap in the car curtain. I see people in front of me. His heart thumped, he slowly walked out of the car door, coughed a few times and said, "It's natural for the lake to stink for a while, so don't make a fuss." In my opinion, this has nothing to do with the iron statue. "

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted; "Are you from Qin Gui? Actually, it is to protect him! "

Fu Tai didn't know how to answer at the moment. After a pause, he comforted himself: "Don't panic! The iron statue has sunk to the bottom of the lake. Who can find it? " Thinking of this, he proudly said, "Stop joking! If someone really fished out the iron statue from the lake, the official was willing to resign and plead guilty! "

If you caress Taiwan Province, the dark lake will suddenly become crystal clear. A pair of iron statues floated up from the bottom of the lake, as if someone were holding them, and floated straight to the platform.

Fu Tai scared his face like yellow paper. Willy-nilly, he got into the car and shouted. "run! Run! "

The sedan chair was carried to the yamen, and many holes had been punched in the top of the sedan chair. On the back of Fu Tai's head, there are three lumps the size of walnuts. He escaped from Hangzhou overnight without an official hat.

The iron statue floated to the lake, and everyone salvaged it, moved back to the grave of Yue and knelt down.

Qixinggang

The Zilai Cave on the mountainside in Huang Huang was originally called "Dragonfly Cave" because there was a flying dragon living in Guang Chen Cave. This flying dragon is very strange. Every ten days, at night, it always flies out of the hole, flies in the sky, spits out fire beads and sucks. The fire beads are far away and near, and the dragons chase and play. In this way, the fireball has sown many Mars, and wherever Mars falls, it will burn. Therefore, when the flying dragon came out, many families in Hangzhou suffered.

Everyone hates this hateful dragon, but there is no way to cure it. So they have to calculate the time it flies. Men, women and children climbed onto the roof, watered it and watched it all night. At the same time, he threatened the dragonfly with gongs and drums, trying to make it fly further. Even so, there are frequent fires in Hangzhou.

On this day, an old blacksmith came to Hangzhou, with a hammer in his hand, and went to a small inn to stay. It happened to be the night when the dragonfly came out of the hole, and the whole family climbed onto the roof, and no one greeted him. The old blacksmith was surprised to see this and climbed onto the roof. When he found out, he climbed down the roof without saying a word, picked up the hammer and left.

On this day, the flying dragon danced in the sky for a long time, and the sparks of the fire beads were scattered. When the old blacksmith returned to the inn, the shop had burned down. The host family cried around some junk that had been rescued. The old blacksmith was very sad after seeing it. He said something comforting to the shopkeeper, gave him all the odds and ends of money around him, and said, "Don't be sad. I saw the dragonfly with my own eyes in Huang Yu just now. " The shopkeeper thanked the old blacksmith and was surprised to hear that Jade Emperor Mountain had seen the flying dragon. He asked, "Is this true?" The old blacksmith said, "It's true. I saw Feilong fly out of the cave, flapping fire beads in the sky, flying back to Huangyushan and sleeping at Feilongkou! " The shopkeeper was even more afraid. Because Jade Emperor Mountain is a place where dragons lurk, no one dares to go up. The old blacksmith thought for a while, then suddenly knocked his head with his hand and said, "There is a way, there is a way, and I have a way to subdue this dragon!" " After listening to this, the shopkeeper quickly asked, "What can you do, old man?" The old blacksmith said, "As long as every household in Hangzhou can give me a sword, I can subdue the dragon." The shopkeeper looked at the old blacksmith and didn't look like a braggart. I believe he has an idea. After the news spread, people were both surprised and happy. Who doesn't want a kitchen knife in order to put out the fire and eliminate the disaster! In a few days, kitchen knives piled up like a hill.

The old blacksmith invited all the blacksmiths in the city to build an iron smelting furnace and put all the kitchen knives into the furnace to melt. Qi Xin made seven big tin cans in three days. Many people get together to look at these seven big iron tanks, which is very strange. The old blacksmith invited everyone to lift it, and some young people rolled up their cuffs and tried it. When they lifted it, haha! It takes nineteen people to lift an iron drum! So, the old blacksmith ran up the Jade Emperor Mountain alone and looked at the dragonfly hole. Hey, dragonfly is still sleeping! He ran back quickly and shouted, "Come with me to surrender the dragon! First, 133 young and strong people were carrying tin cans, and 19 people were carrying one and followed me up the hill. Everyone in the back has to carry a bucket of water. Listen to me. Don't be afraid, everyone. I have a hammer. If the dragonfly moves, I will fight hard! "

Everyone followed the old blacksmith up the Jade Emperor Mountain and came to the mouth of the dragonfly, who was still asleep. The old blacksmith quietly told everyone to press the two whiskers, four feet and a tail of the dragonfly with an iron tube, because they were all pressed on the whiskers, so the dragonfly didn't feel it yet. The old blacksmith pointed a hammer at the dragonfly's forehead. If the dragonfly woke up, he would hit it with a hammer. The old blacksmith told the people behind him to pour the bucket of water into the iron jar. When the water in the seventh iron pitcher was almost full, unexpectedly, a man tripped with a bucket, and the water in the bucket splashed into dragonfly's nostrils, causing dragonfly to sneeze, but the old blacksmith was sprayed out of sight.

Dragonfly felt that he was pulled by something and couldn't lift his head. When he won it, he knew he was pinned down. So he roared and rolled on the spot, hurting his beard and hair. He turned around and plunged into the dragonfly's cave. I got out after drilling in Anhui from the ground, shook myself and flew to the sky to escape. Since then, I have never seen Fei Long come back. Legend has it that the Longfei Cave in Hangzhou leads directly to Anhui.

The dragonfly escaped, and the seven iron tanks that suppressed the dragonfly were still in the hole of the dragonfly, arranged like the Big Dipper in the sky, so people called it the "Seven-Star Tank". It is said that if all seven tanks were filled with water at that time, the flying dragon would be nailed to the Jade Emperor Mountain forever.

Until now, Hangzhou people still have an old saying, "Seven stars nail a dragon, just a bucket of water", which refers to this story.
