What are the "Eight Scenes of Xiaoxiang" and where are the Eight Scenes?

The Eight Scenes of Xiaoxiang are said to be eight places in Xiangjiang River Basin around Manxiang.

Shen Kuo in Song Dynasty was described in Meng Qian Bitan's Painting and Calligraphy.

Throughout the ages, there have been talented people who pursued peace.

Xiaoxiang Night Rain-East of Yongzhou City

Xiangshui is called Xiaoxiang after Yongzhou meets Xiaoxiang.

Xiaoxiang night scene is a famous landscape for ancient literati to express their feelings.

"Have sweat Xiangjiang tree, waste ChuTianLu.

Tie up the ferry and don't teach it to go downhill.

(Yuan Jiexi) Sad and helpless feelings are as sad and touching as the rain itself at night. For thousands of years, people have loved mountains and rivers and the rain at night, or the rain at night in their hearts.

Wild Goose in Pingsha —— Yan Hui Peak in Hengyang City

Xiaoxiang descended hundreds of kilometers from Yongzhou and reached Yan Hui Peak, the first of the 72 peaks in Nanyue.

"Mountain to Hengyang, peak to yan zhen.

You should pity the way back and can't bear to fly south again.

Due to the limitations of the geographical thinking of the ancients, I mistakenly thought that geese would not fly south when they arrived in Hengyang.

The weather in the north turned cold, and the army marched south, and the autumn wind in the south was beautiful.

The desert is flat, with sand and reeds, which often leads to strict accommodation.

What a beautiful picture of autumn geese playing on the beach.

Night Bell of Smoky Temple —— Liang Qing Temple in the north of Hengshan County

Xiangjiang River is several kilometers to the north, passing through Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, a Buddhist resort.

The wind came late, everything was asleep, but the ancient clock in the temple sounded melodious from time to time.

Jiangzhou passengers tie boats or travel far here.

Sunshine Mountain, Blue City —— Zhaoshan Mountain at the junction of Xiangtan and Changsha

Xiangjiang River reaches Zhaoshan from Hengshan northbound 150 kilometers.

Purple gas is pervasive, blue smoke attacks people, and clouds steam and glow.

One peak crosses the river, as beautiful as a fairy who has just bathed.

Evening by the river-Orange Island

Oranges have been a scene in Changsha since ancient times, with Changsha in the east and Yuelu Mountain in the west.

When it snows, the snowy days are exactly the same, everything in the world is silent, merchant ships in the river are sailing and berthing, and twilight smoke is floating on the snow lamp. People's mood is particularly cold, and their thoughts dance with the snowflakes. That kind of cool leisure may be the leisure closest to the essence of winter snow.

Return from Sailing —— Riverside of Xiangyin County

Go north along the river from Orange Island, about 70 kilometers, and then go to Xiangyin.

Every evening, the distant mountains are full of flowers, the willows on the shore are like smoke, the sails are back, and the fishing songs are bursting. Fishermen waiting to return to their boats and prostitutes looking forward to staying in the evening breeze stood in the sunset, setting off a warm and disappointed busy scene.

Autumn moon in Dongting Lake-Dongting Lake

From Xiangyin to the north is the endless Dongting Lake.

Autumn night, the moonlight is like silver, the sky is not doped with any traces, the lake is 800 miles, the clear water is like a mirror, and it is calm.

The sky and the lake reflect each other, the moonlight and the lake light blend with each other, and boating on the lake has a different taste. It must be another feeling to climb Junshan or Yueyang Tower.

Sunset in Fishing Village —— Wulingxi, Taoyuan, Xidongting

Tao Yuanming said in Peach Blossom Garden that "fishing is a profession in Wu Lingren".

Because of fishing, Wu Lingren discovered the Peach Blossom Garden, and the fishing village where people live became the place that literati yearned for.

During the day, fishermen cast nets in Dongting; In the evening, I packed my fishing nets, carried fat fresh fish and walked home singing fishing songs in the sunset.
