Ten thousand mu of lotus, natural scenery, beautiful!
The gate of the scenic spot is a tall and elegant archway. The three characters "Lotus Dang" on the archway were inscribed by Master Cao, a Golden Laker. He once became a monk in the Lotus Temple and is now the president of the Buddhist Association of Singapore. After the archway, you can walk along the road to the gaoyou lake Lake embankment and walk on the gaoyou lake Lake embankment. There are many fishing boats moored in a safe haven on the right, and a continuous lotus pond on the left.
Located in the northwest of gaoyou lake, the geographical position is remote and quiet. In that fiery era of fighting between heaven and earth, the people of Qiao Heng stood shoulder to shoulder, adding fuel to the flames, and ten thousand mu of Danghu Shoal United to plant paddy fields. In recent years, various lotus roots have been planted in this vast lake. Every summer, the wind rolls the lotus leaves, the green slopes burst, the lotus leaves come out of the water, and the fragrance overflows, forming a wonderful natural scenic spot.
There is a white marble "Lotus Fairy" sculpture in the central square of the Lotus Swing, and there is a sad and touching love story here. According to legend, during the Sui Dynasty, there was an old scholar named He in the west of gaoyou lake. When he was a child, he added a daughter named "Lotus" and loved her like the apple of his eye. In a blink of an eye 17 years passed, and the lotus flower fell on a girl with outstanding appearance. The matchmaker almost broke the threshold, but Miss Lian refused to answer. It turns out that Lotus already has a Mr Right in her heart, named "Qin Ting". The two hit it off and have been secretly married for life. Seeing that they are a match made in heaven, the old scholar agreed to this marriage and made preparations for the wedding. Who knows that there are unexpected events in the sky? At this time, Emperor Yang Di went to Yangzhou to see Qionghua. Seeing that the women in this area were particularly beautiful, he ordered the recruitment of beautiful women to enrich the harem. This lotus is just among the candidates. When parting, Lotus and Qin Ting wept bitterly, and they were inseparable. Lotus gave him a ribbon, and Qin Ting gave her Yu Sheng as a token, pledging not to be negative. After entering the palace, Emperor Yang Di saw that the lotus was delicate and charming, so he addressed her as the "Lotus Queen". He also specially built a palace for her, named "Lotus Palace". However, the lotus girl was born in a noble family and didn't want to enjoy the splendor, let alone climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. She was unhappy in Lacrimosa all day, just missing Qin Ting. The day of imperial luck is coming, and Lotus is at a loss and determined to fight to the death. Thought of here, I calmed down and fell asleep. In my dream, I seem to see an old woman say to her, "Fu Fuguifei, I'll give you a dress. After you put it on, the bad king won't dare to bend down. " Lotus woke up and saw a green dress beside her. It suits her very well. It turns out that the old woman who sent the clothes was Guanyin Bodhisattva. That night, when Yang Di saw the beautiful woman lying in bed, he was very happy, so he quickly took off his clothes. Unexpectedly, the lotus was covered with needles, which made the bad king scream. The dragon was furious and immediately put the lotus in the cold. Lotus was tortured after being put in the cold palace. Besides, this year, Qin Ting seized the opportunity of the exam and visited the Lotus in Beijing. It is said that the lotus has thorns on its body and was put in the cold palace. Qin Ting was skeptical that I would marry her even though she was covered in thorns. On this day, he disguised himself as a handyman and sneaked into the palace. The houses in the inner court of the deep palace are adjacent. Where can I find lotus flowers? While hesitating, I suddenly heard someone playing Yu Sheng. The voice is sad and piercing, which makes people cry. Qin Ting followed the sound and saw the lotus. The two hugged each other tightly and told each other the pain of parting. At this time, the needle on the lotus fell off, and the two were really surprised and happy. Who knows that they were unfortunately found by the guards when they fled. Qin Ting was pitifully killed, and Lotus was in great pain and jumped into the pool to die. After the death of Lotus. Beautiful flowers are blooming in the water. People call it "Lotus", and some people call it "Lotus". Yusheng fell into the water and became a lotus root, and his green clothes became a lotus leaf. Qin Ting became an insect after his death, which is now a "dragonfly". Whenever the lotus comes out of the water, it is always reluctant to go, flying around in the lotus pond and unwilling to leave for a long time. What you see is the legendary lotus girl statue.
"Lotus Fairy" Square is not only a nostalgic place, but also a good place to watch. You can watch the lotus flowers and take photos here during the day. At night, you can watch the moon and dance, which is the center of the whole scenic spot. Standing in the square, the breeze is blowing and the fragrance is fragrant. If it is a silver night, can you hear frogs like the tide? Enjoy the wine and the moon, and think a lot. It's really "an autumn cloud with a little chardonnay, very lotus leaf." You don't have to close the door when you sleep by the lake, and the cool breeze permeates the house every night. "On both sides, there is a lotus stone forest. Please see: On a stele gallery on the right side of the road, there is a Lotus Roaming inscribed by the famous poet Mr. Zhao Kai and the county calligrapher Mr. Zhou Simin. The article details the thousands of years of wandering in Cang Sang, and the ten thousand customs of the water town, which can be called both literary talent and unique poetry and books; On the left side of the road, there are dozens of poems about lotus written by local literati, which express the deep praise of children in water towns for natural scenery.
There is a four-corner pavilion in the southeast corner of the square, which is called "Bihe Pavilion". On both sides of the railing, there is a poem written by Yang Wanli, a great poet in the Song Dynasty: "The lotus leaves are infinitely green the next day, and the lotus flowers reflect different colors in the sun." Looking at the pavilions from afar, ten thousand acres of lotus fields are covered with blue waves and ten thousand lotus flowers are colorful. What you feel is not only the pleasing green eyes, but also the refreshing fragrant breeze.
Leave the Lotus Fairy and Lotus Monument Gallery and walk south along the corridor. Let's first look at the windmills and wooden houses standing on both sides. Do they have peasant customs? Look at this antique log arch bridge, which is called lianhua bridge.
After crossing the bridge, this big lotus field in front of you is called "Lotus Garden". According to statistics, there are currently 1000 species of lotus in the world, and our "Lotus Garden" has cultivated more than 30 rare species at home and abroad. You see, it's the Sino-American friendship lotus as white as snow, the red scarf is the local red, and there are roses and yellow and white water lilies, which are competing to open and colorful, making people linger.
The promenade is the central road of the lotus swing scenic spot. There is a milky white lotus corridor 1 0,400 meters long above the road. Grapes and wisteria are mainly planted, and green branches and leaves form green channels. The people in the corridor are cool and comfortable. The promenade is like a long green dragon crossing the lotus swing. The Quqiao Pavilion on the north side is called "Moon Pavilion", which was built to commemorate Su Dongpo's Mid-Autumn Festival visit to the moon and night boating. It is also a place where people enjoy the lotus and enjoy the cool. Sitting on the pavilion, the breeze blows, the lotus fragrance bursts, and the lingering aftertaste of the lotus leaves still exists, which makes people unconsciously integrate into the wonderful scenery of the lotus.
Continue along the promenade, and the long white bridge on the right will guide tourists to continue to enter the embrace of the lotus swing. Climb five Hong Ting with different shapes, lie on the blue waves, and then listen to the magical legend of Lotus Swing:
Gaoyou lake, Fushe Pavilion was originally named Fushe Lake. According to legend, one night during the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, the sky was as dark as ink, and suddenly a bright light shone in the lake. A fisherman saw a huge mussel with a bamboo plaque, and opened its shell to reveal a huge pearl, shining and reflecting the lake as in the daytime. Huang Tingjian, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, immediately wrote: "There are pearls in Fushe Lake, and plants in Huainan borrow Guanghua." Now people can sometimes see such a magical scene on the lake.
Ji Mingting In ancient times, an old couple kept an old hen. The hen didn't lay an egg for three years, and laid a big egg three years later. After eating the eggs of the first child, the old woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son named "Chicken". When the son was three years old, the old couple died one after another, and this old hen lived alone with her children. When it is hot, the old hen will fan him with her wings, and when it is cold, her feathers will keep him warm. People say that this old hen is a magical hen. When a local rich man heard about it, he wanted to keep it for himself. The god chicken said to the child, "You killed me and simmered it into soup. When the rich man comes to bully you, you spill the soup on the ground and you will eliminate the disaster. " The child still can't bear to kill it. Later, the rich man really came to rob the god chicken, and the god chicken pecked him, but the rich man dared not stick to the edge. The god chicken said to the child, "the rich man will not stop there." Kill me quickly. " . The child refused, and the magic chicken committed suicide with a sickle. The next day, the rich man brought someone, and the child poured chicken soup on the rich man according to the saying of the god chicken, and suddenly the flood filled the sky. Where the rich ran, the water flooded, and finally the rich man was drowned. A big pier has also grown in the place where the children live, and this place has been called "mother hen Pier" since then. It's also called "Cockcrow Swing", because this place is high in terrain, and the lights at night can point the way for the ships in the gaoyou lake. There is also a story about Chen Zhou in Chenzhou Pavilion. According to legend, before the Song Dynasty, there was a city called Chen Zhou in today's gaoyou lake, where an old couple lived opposite the government office. They live on grinding bean curd, and their business is very prosperous. One day, a crazy monk came to the city and said that as long as the stone lion in front of the mansion was red, Chenzhou City would sink. City people don't take it seriously, thinking that lions made of stone can have red eyes. Just a few children heard it and thought it was very funny, so they painted the eyes of Shishi red with rouge that night. The next day, the old couple got up early in grinding bean curd. They looked up and saw that Shishi's eyes were really red and they were very frightened. They packed their things and prepared to run for their lives. There is nothing of value in this family, only an ancestral treasure chest must be taken away. Who knows that there is a spring under the water tank, and when the water tank moves, the surging water rushes out immediately, and the old couple desperately climbs into the water tank to save their lives. But soon the whole of Chen Zhou was flooded. After the flood in Chen Zhou, people suffered, and the emperor sent Bao Zheng to release grain for disaster relief, saving countless people. Later, people built the Chenzhou Pavilion here to commemorate Bao Zheng. This pavilion has two floors. The top of the first floor is painted with murals of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Climb the stairs, lean against the railing and look around. The blue lotus is thousands of hectares and green everywhere, just like a fairyland on earth.
Phoenix Bridge used to have a big pier here. After a long time, there was only one slope left. It is said that a phoenix once landed here, hence its name. The ancients said, "A phoenix does not fall without treasure, and treasure attracts a phoenix." The pavilion on the far right is called "Longteng Pavilion". It is said that it used to be a treasure trove of geomantic omen, and it could be a "real dragon emperor". This story reached the ears of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and aroused great anger. Zhu Yuanzhang sent Liu Ji, a strategist, to visit, and he met Long Mai. So Liu Ji invited 72 craftsmen to drill 72 deep wells and build 49 shovels in Long Mai for 72 days. It took 49 days to dig a Qilong River in central Long Mai. The next day, I saw that the Dragon River was red and Long Mai was cut off. Although feng shui is broken, there is no real dragon emperor, but there are many skilled craftsmen here. Minqiao is a famous hometown of architecture, and Longteng Pavilion symbolizes the prosperity of Minqiao people.
The battle of love began in this way, with a tortuous plot and an unexpected ending.
