Eight Scenes in Baoding (Eight Scenes in Shanggu)
Shanggu is an ancient county name. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, the world was divided into 36 counties, and the north-central part of Hebei was changed to Shanggu County, among which Baoding was one. Later, Baoding became a metropolis in Hebei, which people called Baoding Shanggu. Eight scenic spots in Shanggu are eight scenic spots in Baoding.
1, Lingxiao City Pavilion-Dacige
Dacige is located in Yuhua Road, Baoding City, adjacent to the ancient lotus pond in the west. It is a masterpiece of ancient architecture in Baoding, a famous historical and cultural city, and a symbol of Baoding, an ancient city. There is a saying that "you have never been to Baoding until you have been to Dacige". Daci Pavilion was founded by Cai Guogong Zhang Rou in Yuan Dynasty (founded in 1227- 1232), formerly known as Dabei Pavilion, and it is one of the eight ancient scenes in Baoding. It is known as the "Lingxiao City Pavilion" in history, and its majesty can be called "the height can be tens of feet, the distance can be dozens of miles, and it looks like the sky from a distance". The existing Dacige was rebuilt many times after the fire in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty.
2. Kuilou should stay-the residual wall is still there today, but Gu Lou is gone.
Relevant records are as follows: "There were two Kuilou buildings in Baoding in ancient times. A double-eaved octagonal building, which was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and located at the top of the ancient city wall east of the south gate; The other was built in the early years of Qing Dynasty, located in the south of Dacige. It is six feet high and has four holes under it. People can come and go. It is commonly known as the heart-piercing building, later called the street building, and it still has the name of the street building. Kuilou, also known as Kuixing Pavilion and Wenchang Pavilion, is a symbol of the ancient city's long culture. Kuilou should stay, describing the height of Kuilou as echoing with Kuixing among the 28 stars in the sky. " Above the ancient city wall to the east of the south gate are two Kuilou buildings, which are known as one of the eight scenic spots in Baoding. However, the "heart-piercing building" left in the hearts of old Baoding people ceased to exist as early as the 1940s.
3. Hengcui Zhao Hui-Zhao Hui is everywhere. Where is the balcony?
Hengcui Zhao Hui, as its name implies, should be said that Gu Lou Hengcui and Zhao Xia complement each other and stand tall, which should be a beautiful scenery among the eight ancient scenes in Baoding. Guo Shu, a bachelor of cabinet in Qing Dynasty, described this in his poem: "The scenic spot is isolated in ancient Taizhou, and the name of the building does not float. The weather is fine, even the sea and the sun add color to the building, and the rain forces the building to embrace the smoke. " Imagine the city features of ancient Baoding-Dacige, where Hengcui Building is located, stands tall, and Kuixing Building ranks among them. The Governor's Mansion is majestic, the lotus pond in spring is beautiful, the bells of the ancient temples outside the city are ringing, pedestrians are singing and dancing, the grass is green, and the east city is endless. Not to mention climbing to the top of the mountain overlooking the beautiful scenery of Lang Feng, not to mention the ups and downs of the ancient temple in Xicheng. For the bustling crowd downstairs, isn't living in such a beautiful city a kind of happiness?
According to research, Hengcui Building is the Drum Tower, which was built in the early Yuan Dynasty and should be located in the east of the Governor's Office and the west of the Bell Tower. Opposite South Street, it faces south, about 8 meters high, and there is a passage about 5 meters wide below. There is an archway in front of the building, with Jintai on the left and Zhao Lao on the right. Chaoyang rises from the east, heavy buildings are immersed, auspicious clouds are shrouded, and the bearing is majestic. Coupled with the lush city, the scenery is self-evident.
4. Friendship Xia Yan-Guhetang
Gulianchi was first built by Zhang Rou more than 770 years ago, formerly known as Xiangxueyuan. At that time, "the curtains are sparse, the ripples are clear, fish swim and birds fly, and the city is prosperous, but it is the joy of three Hunan and seven Ze" ("Linyi Pavilion"). After the Yuan Dynasty, Baoding suffered an earthquake and the park was destroyed. It was not until the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty that Zhang Lie, then the magistrate of Baoding, was paid to repair the garden, and the garden was rediscovered. In the pool, "lotus plants scales, willows surround the pool", and pavilions and walls are built, which is called "water appraisal place", which means taking water as a mirror and teaching psychology by example, becoming a place for dignitaries to drink and have fun. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, Baoding Road was changed to Baoding House in Yuan Dynasty. In the second year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty, the Governor's Office in Yuan Zhili was upgraded to the Governor's Office, and Baoding House became the capital of Zhili. In the 11th year of Yongzheng (1733), Li Jue, governor of Zhili, ordered Lianchi to open an academy and build a hotel, which was later expanded into a palace. In Qing Dynasty, Lianchi had been consolidated and rebuilt three times on a large scale. In the garden, the rockeries are covered with green trees, the ancient trees are dense, the exotic flowers and grasses are in full bloom, and the mountains, water, buildings, platforms, pavilions and pavilions are uneven, forming the famous 12 scenes of Lianchi, which has won the reputation of "a few suspected cities are like Penglai". Since it was expanded into a palace, emperors Qianlong, Jiaqing and Guangxu have visited here. In the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1906), Zhili government changed the lotus pond to "Lotus Garden" after heating and maintenance. In the Republic of China 10, Cao Rui, the governor of Zhili, and Cao Kun, the governor, raised funds to rebuild it, and asked Xu Shichang, the president, to inscribe the four-character plaque "Gulian Huachi". The garden is centered on Linyi Pavilion, which is a pavilion in the water. It consists of twelve scenic spots, such as Junzixian Pavilion, Guanlan Pavilion, Jinzhuo Pavilion, Hanbi Pavilion, Algae Pavilion and Qinxiang Pavilion, all of which are set around the pool, with dense and scattered features.
5, Gaodong spring rain-a few degrees of spring breeze and a few degrees of rain, the flowers are overflowing.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a poem praising Dong: "It's drizzling in the eastern suburbs, let's talk about Sang Ma hand in hand. The plateau is full of spring, chicken water and sand on both sides. Young grass is irrigated like smoke, and Changhong hides color. Who gave the song and rain and flew into the restaurant with a smile. " It can be seen that the so-called spring rain in Gaodong is just a description of the natural pastoral scenery outside the ancient city of Dongguan.
According to records, there were four gates and four passes in ancient Baoding, and the north pass was the capital tunnel, and the street was three miles long. Xiguan is the main road in the south of the Yangtze River, with a street length of two miles. Nanguan is a water transport pier, and the street is one mile long. Only Dongguan, low-lying, sparse villages, endless fields, small bridges and flowing water. Tao Yuanming, a great pastoral poet in Jin Dynasty, wrote a famous sentence-"Be quiet, flow in a clear spring and write poems", from which the "Spring Rain in Gaodong", one of the eight ancient scenes, came. "The east wind rises all night, and the mountains return to spring." Advocating nature is not the patent of modern people, it has existed since ancient times.
The specific scenic spot of Gaodong Spring Rain is on the north slope to the east of Dashiqiao in Dongfeng Park. Legend has it that it is the beacon tower site in the Northern Song Dynasty. Before liberation, it became a mass grave and an execution ground. After liberation, it was converted into Dongfeng Park.
6. Looking for bridges and flowing water in the ancient city.
Of the "Eight Scenes of Shanggu" in Baoding, two are related to Fuhe River. In ancient times, the upper reaches of Fuhe River were called both an acre of spring river and a chicken-distance river. The spring water gathers and flows day and night, and flows to the vicinity of Yu Ling Temple (now No.8 Middle School), splitting in two. A small stream flows into Fuhe River through the south of Dazha, and the sound of water is roaring, which is called "Xisha Tao Qiu". One goes around the city to the northeast, joins the Fuhe River on the north side of Tianshui Bridge in Nanguan today, and then flows into the city. The river is crystal clear, and the fish swim vividly, which is "clear chicken water." Fuhe River, a mother-like clear river, is from pure and kind to filthy. I have never understood how Baoding people treat this mother river that once raised themselves. A few years ago, I heard that I would "pay off the Fuhe River", but now there is no news. At this point, Fuhe is hiding his face and crying, waiting hard.
7, chicken water is clear-drowning and listening to birds fly, I want to ask how clear the city is.
Baoding, an ancient city, an acre of spring water and Fuhe River have made the ancient city brilliant in the past. There is a mural in Baoding Riverside Park, which reads "Chicken water is clear": "In the early Yuan Dynasty, when Zhang Rou rebuilt Qingyuan County, a new canal was built to introduce chickens from an acre of spring water into the city. During the Wen Jian period of Ming Dynasty, when Baoding was transformed into a brick city, a moat was built to lead an acre of spring water from a chicken farm around the ancient city. The clear river water and the majestic ancient city of Baoding constitute a beautiful scenery of the chicken water ring. " It shows the beauty of watercolor in old Baoding. Spring, with an acre of land divided into three parts, has won the reputation of "Little Jiangnan" because of the fragrance of roses and the moving scenery of birds and fish. In 1950s, the "Eight Factories" relying on an acre of spring water laid the foundation for Baoding's industrial take-off. However, due to the massive exploitation of groundwater in the later period, not only a "funnel area" was formed, but also the mother river in Baoding was cut off and dried up, and the "root of Wanquan" became the memory of the old people.
8. Wolf Peak Competition Show-Langya Mountain
Langya Mountain is a famous mountain, surrounded by dangers and beautiful scenery. As early as two thousand years ago during the Warring States Period, "Langya Jingxiu" was one of the ten scenic spots in Yan State at that time. Today, it is not only a provincial patriotism education base, but also a provincial forest park. The newly completed "Langya Mountain Five Warriors Exhibition Hall" covers an area of 8 16 square meters, with a building area of 1300 square meters. There are pictures, historical materials, anti-Japanese cultural relics, battle scene sculptures, etc. The museum vividly reproduces the heroic achievements and tragic history of our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians under the leadership of the party in fighting against Japanese aggressors and defending the country.
Langya Mountain is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, 45 kilometers southwest of Yixian County, Baoding, and 45 kilometers away from downtown Baoding. It is named after its strange peaks and rocks, towering and steep, and resembling spikes. The petals of the main peak lotus are 1 105 meters above sea level, with steep cliffs on the west and north, and a narrow path leading to the main peak on the east and south. Climbing high and overlooking, you can see that thousands of peaks are like waves in the sea, ups and downs. Near the west side, the stone forest is tall and natural, with lotus peaks of all sizes, such as hibiscus, in full bloom proudly, and the Metz Gorge is misty and mysterious.

Baoding, the city of longevity, has the habit of fitness since ancient times and has become a social fashion.

After the reform and opening up, it developed supernormally. "When the grass reaches an anguo, the medicine becomes medicine, and the medicine is fragrant after Zhou Qi" has become the motto believed by drug dealers all over the world.
