After chasing the "Three Heroes of West Lake" in Hangzhou, I suddenly understood life
Hangzhou, a beautiful tourist city, is one of the first national historical and cultural cities, one of the six ancient capitals of China, and is known as the "Famous County in the Southeast".
If you take a closer look, you can see the Kuahu Bridge that is more than 8,000 years old, experience the Liangzhu culture that is more than 5,000 years old, touch the county seat established in the Qin Dynasty with more than 2,200 years of history, and explore the Wu Yue Kingdom of the Five Dynasties and the Southern Song Dynasty. During the tour, people can appreciate a large number of natural and cultural landscapes and relics, and experience the West Lake culture, Liangzhu culture, silk culture, and tea culture!
So the question is, how should friends who come to Hangzhou for the first time "get to know" Hangzhou? I suggest that everyone recall the "Three Heroes of West Lake" and you will suddenly understand life!
The route is: Yuewang Temple - Yu Qian Temple - Zhang Cangshui Temple
Yuewang Temple
The ticket price is 20 yuan. It is also known as Yue Fen and Yue Fei's Tomb. It is located at No. 80 Beishan Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is located on the southern foot of Qixialing Mountain in Hangzhou City. It is the tomb of Yue Fei, the famous general who fought against the Jin Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty. In 1961, it was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
In history, in the 11th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1142), the famous anti-Jin general Yue Fei was killed on false charges along with his eldest son Yue Yun and his general Zhang Xian. The jailer Wei Shun carried Yue Fei's body out of Lin'an City, went to Jiuqu Cong Temple, and buried it in the North Mountain. In the 32nd year of Shaoxing (1162), Song Xiaozong ascended the throne and issued an edict in the name of the abdicated Song Gaozong to rehabilitate Yue Fei. Yue Fei's remains were reburied with the ceremony of a first-rank official at the southern foot of Qixialing in Hangzhou. Later dynasties have rebuilt Yue Fei's tomb.
In the "Yue Fei Memorial Hall", the "Man Jiang Hong: Rage" with every word is as precious as a pearl:
His hair was standing on end with anger, and he leaned against the railing as the rain stopped. He raised his eyes, looked up to the sky and let out a long cry, his heart filled with lofty sentiments.
Thirty years of fame and glory are dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of journey are clouds and moon. Don't wait idly, your youth will be wasted and you will be filled with regret!
The shame of Jingkang has not yet been avenged. When will the hatred of my subjects be eliminated? Drive a long carriage and break through the Helan Mountain Pass.
With great ambition, I would eat the flesh of the barbarians when I am hungry, and drink the blood of the Huns when I am thirsty. Wait until the beginning, rebuild the old mountains and rivers, and face the heaven.
This makes people think of "character". The more worldly affairs one experiences, the more one will understand the value of the "five virtues" of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness. Being kind, loyal, upright, polite, trustworthy, and wise are not the upper limit of personal cultivation, but the foundation of being a human being.
Yu Qian Temple
The ticket price is 0 yuan. The full name of the temple is "Yu Zhongsu Gong Temple". It is located at No. 161 Santaishan Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, on the bank of Turtle Pond of West Lake. It is the tomb of Yu Qian, a national hero of the Ming Dynasty. It has three entrances, namely the front hall, the main hall and the back hall. The Yu Qian Temple Scenic Area has been formed, which combines Yu Qian Temple, Yu Qian's Tomb, tomb passage, archway and other cultural relics with natural mountains, forests and green spaces.
While visiting the museum, you can learn about Yu Qian's life, which is divided into four parts: "Ambition in Youth", "Diligence and Integrity", "Defending Beijing", and "Forever in History". It details Yu Qian's noble character, outstanding achievements, and tragic life. In addition, Yu Qian's works and commentary works about Yu Qian from past dynasties are also displayed, including "Collected Works of Yu Sumin Gong", "Complete Biography of Yu Shaobao's Loyalty", "Record of the Temple and Tomb of Yu Zhongsu Gong", etc. After leaving the Yu Qian Temple, about 50 meters north, you can see a Ming-style archway, which is Yu Qian's tomb.
Among the Yu Qian Temple, there is a very prominent one, which is "Lime Chant";
Thousands of hammers and chisels dug out the mountains, and the raging fire burned as if it were nothing.
I am not afraid of being torn to pieces, I just want to keep my innocence in this world.
Many people will feel the beauty of "bitterness before sweetness", and the same is true in life. If there is no boring and tedious journey day and night, there will be no joy when success comes.
Zhang Cangshui Temple
The ticket price is 0 yuan. The full name is "Mr. Zhang Cangshui's Temple". It is located at No. 2-1, Nanshan Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, at the foot of Litchi Peak of Nanping Mountain in West Lake. It is in the style of Jiangnan folk houses in the Qing Dynasty. Behind the temple is the tomb of Zhang Cangshui.
Unlike the previous two, Zhang Cangshui Temple is more simple and ancient, surrounded by green pines and cypresses, small bridges and pools. It is both a celebrity memorial and a garden. It consists of steles, statues, plaques, paintings and couplets, and has a strong contemporary atmosphere and artistic appeal. If you observe carefully, you will find that the eight murals vividly depict Zhang Cangshui's life of concern for the country and his love for the people. The plaques written by contemporary calligraphy masters such as Sha Menghai and Qi Gong add solemnity and dignity to the ancestral hall.
I remember Li Shanlan's "Inscription on the Portrait of Mr. Zhang Cangshui";
A piece of wood supporting the sky fell, and it hesitated for nineteen years.
Keep the clothes and etiquette of the victorious country and pay homage to the predecessors.
It is difficult to revive a declining fortune, and it is not easy to pass on a loyal heart.
The loyal soul doubts that he is still alive, and his hair and beard are growing taller.
Every visit will make people let go of the chaos and noise in their hearts, let their hearts sink into this vicissitudes of life and ancient greenery, and take a short rest. In fact, no matter what life is like, it should be like a flying wild goose stepping on the snow mud. After going through so much, looking back: I return, neither windy nor rainy, neither clear nor cloudy.
After communicating with many colleagues, everyone feels that the stories and memorial hall of the "Three Heroes of West Lake" are very worth visiting. Their hidden beauty is waiting for everyone who understands them!
