Tour guide words describing Lushan Mountain
Guidelines for Zhenjiang Jinshan Scenic Area
Jinshan is located in the northwest of the urban area, with a height of 44 meters and a height of 120 meters. It is three kilometers away from the city center. In ancient times, Jinshan was an island standing in the middle of the Yangtze River. "Wanchuan flows to the east, and one island is neutral." It formed a corner with Guazhou and Xijin. It is famous for "across two hundred states in the southeast" and is called "a hibiscus in the heart of the river". It was not until the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty that it began to be connected to the land on the south bank, so "riding a donkey up Jinshan" became popular for a while. With its natural shape and secluded scenery, Jinshan Mountain has been one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in my country since ancient times.
Jinshan has many names since ancient times. The ancients compared the Yangtze River to the sea of perfume, and compared the mountain to the Qijin Mountain in the "Huayan Sutra", so it is called Jinshan. There is another saying in the "Nine Domains Chronicles" written by Wang Cun of the Song Dynasty: Fahai, an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty, traveled here to repair the temple for his son. He cut through thorns in the mountains every day and dug up gold in one day. The local official Li Qi rebelled against the emperor, and the emperor ordered that the gold be handed over to Fahai for the purpose of repairing the temple, and the mountain was named Jinshan. In addition, Jinshan has also been called Zexin Mountain, Fuyu Mountain, Huofu Mountain, Longyou Mountain, Zijin Mountain, etc. The name of Jinshan is related to Jinshan Temple. Jinshan Temple is cleverly built on the mountain and has a unique architectural style. The temples and back halls are connected with each other, and the pavilions and pavilions are connected layer by layer. The mountain and the temple are integrated into one, forming a group of citron mosaics. The ancient buildings are connected by buildings, with brilliant scenery and majestic momentum, forming a unique style of "temple wrapped in mountains". Since the Song Dynasty, there has been a saying in Beijing that "Jinshan Temple wraps around the mountain, Jiaoshan Mountain wraps around the temple".
Jinshan is also known as the "Myth Mountain". Every monument on the mountain has fascinating myths, legends and stories. The famous Chinese classical myth "The Legend of the White Snake" in which "water floods the Jinshan Temple" originated from this. It is widely spread among the people and adds a very charming color to this famous city. The Jinshan historic site "Qifeng Pavilion" visited by Yue Fei in the novel "The Complete Biography of Yue" has a pleasant scenery. In Zhang Hui's novel "Water Margin", "Zhang Shun stayed at Jinshan Temple at night, and Song Jiang outsmarted Runzhou City (now Zhenjiang City)", which gave a detailed and vivid description of the wonderful scenery of Jinshan. Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited Jinshan many times during their tours to the south, leaving behind many "imperial" cultural relics. There are many folk tales and legends about Qianlong's stay in Jinshan, which made Jinshan even more famous. Poets, calligraphers, celebrities and scholars of the past dynasties, such as Bai Juyi, Li Bai, Zhang Hu, Sun Li, Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi, Shen Tuo, Fan Zhongyan, Zhao Meng, Wang Yangming, etc. came to watch the scenery, leaving behind many precious relics and popular works. Title chant. Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been an endless stream of international friends and mountaineers. During the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese painting monk Sesshu and other Yang lived in Jinshan for two and a half years. He painted paintings about Jinshan such as "Dragon Touring the Zen Temple in Jinshan in the Heart of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty", which are now preserved in the temple.
Jinshan, a green snail-like hill, contains many romantic past events and has infinite charm, attracting countless Chinese and foreign tourists and tourists. Some people say, "If you don't go to Jinshan when you arrive in Zhenjiang, you have never been to Zhenjiang." This statement has its own truth. After you visit Jinshan, you will understand the mystery.

Jiangtian Zen Temple
At the entrance of Jinshan Temple, look up at the plaque of "Jiangtian Zen Temple", which was inscribed by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty when he came to Jinshan with his mother to pray. Jiangtian Temple, also known as Jinshan Temple, has been a famous ancient Zen temple in China since ancient times. It was first built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, more than 1,500 years ago. It was first named Zexin Temple and was called Jinshan Temple in the Southern and Tang Dynasties. The temple is large in scale, with more than 3,000 monks and tens of thousands of monks in its heyday. In the Qing Dynasty, Jinshan Temple, Putuo Temple, Wenshu Temple and Daming Temple were listed as the four famous temples in China.
Due to the different beliefs of the emperor at that time, Jinshan Temple was changed from a temple twice. Once in the Tang Dynasty, Jinshan Temple was changed into Longyou Temple for nearly two hundred years. Another time was the fourth year of Zhenghe in the Song Dynasty. Because Huizong Zhao Ji followed Taoism, Longyou Temple was changed into Shenxiao Yuqing Wanshou Palace (Taoist Temple), which was ranked first in Shenxiao in the world. Later it was renamed Longyou Temple.
Generally, the gates of temples open to the south, but the gate of Jinshan Temple faces due west. There is an interesting legend here.
It is said that a long time ago, the gate of Jinshan Temple also faced south. Jinshan Temple was burned down repeatedly, and earth-shattering roars would often come from the gate.
At that time, the head monk of Jinshan was deeply uneasy and felt that the matter was a bit strange, so he invited a wandering monk to divine the matter. Monk Yunyou walked around the mountain temple and said to the abbot: "Master, your mountain gate faces south and faces the Nantian Gate. It has offended the Jade Emperor and must change its direction." After hearing this, the abbot clasped his hands together and said, "Sin!" So he ordered people to change the gate to the west.
Legends are just legends after all, and there is a real reason why the gate of Jinshan Temple faces west. According to historical data analysis, the architects at that time had a purpose in building the west-facing mountain gate. Because Jinshan Mountain stood in the middle of the Yangtze River in ancient times, visitors looking through the Xishan Gate will see the vast river rushing down, which is in line with the poetic meaning of "the river goes east and the mountains come west". This can be said to be the originality of architects.
Enter the Heavenly King's Hall from the mountain gate, where Maitreya Buddha, known as the Laughing Buddha, is enshrined. The four King Kong sculptures on both sides are tall and lifelike, intended to guard the mountain gate. The four kings are commonly known as the four heavenly kings, so they are called the palace of heavenly kings. On the left are the Heavenly Kings of the Kingdom of the East and the Heavenly Kings of Growth in the South; on the right are the Heavenly Kings of Guangmu in the North and the Heavenly Kings of Duowen in the West. There is a couplet next to Maitreya Buddha, saying:
A big belly can accommodate many things in the world;
Full of joy, it laughs away the worries of the world in the past and present.
There is a pair of giant stone lions in front of the archway of Tianwang Hall.
Behind the Tianwang Hall is the Main Hall. Temples have always been damaged by fires. The original Main Hall was destroyed by fire in 1948. More than 260 pavilions, terraces, towers, pavilions, houses, etc. were burned down.
Xizhao Pavilion
Xizhao Pavilion contains seven imperial steles left by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty when he visited Jinshan during his southern tour. They are well preserved. These stone tablets have attracted praise from many literati, experts, historical researchers and calligraphers. Most of the content recorded in the stone tablets is Emperor Qianlong's six trips to the south of the Yangtze River to Jinshan, his evaluation of the scenery of Jinshan, and his determination to inherit the tradition of the Qing Dynasty and rule the Qing Empire. Qianlong not only left behind many traceable "imperial systems", but also left behind some quite interesting rumors. It stands to reason that Qianlong's father is Yongzheng, but there is a widely circulated legend here that Emperor Yongzheng "stole a dragon and exchanged it for a phoenix" to obtain Qianlong, and Qianlong came to Jinshan Temple six times to look for his biological father.
Guanyin Pavilion
Climbing up the mountain from Sunset Pavilion, there is Guanyin Pavilion in the middle of the south, also called Shi Pavilion. It is named because Guanyin is worshiped in the pavilion. This building is connected with Langjia Terrace and Miaogao Terrace, and Cishou Pagoda and Fahai Cave in the west. The rafters and ridges are connected to form a single building, which is enough to highlight the beauty of this famous mountain.
Langjiatai
"Langjia" is an Indian word, meaning "uninhabitable", or it is a mountain in the sea that is far away and unreachable. Langjiatai is located in the southeast of Jinshan Mountain and is built against the mountains and rocks. It is said that in his later years, Su Dongpo was entrusted by his old friend, the monk Foyin, to write the Lankavatara Sutra here, so it is also called the Shujing Tower. From the promenade on the top of the stage, you can see the blue sky and the majestic river. The river and sky are the same color, and the momentum is very spectacular. Climbing the Langjiatai from the bottom of the mountain requires passing through three layers of pavilions. Every time you enter a floor, you will undoubtedly find no way up. Once the cave door is opened, you will suddenly have steps to climb. The twists and turns and the staggered up and down often make tourists confused. On the top floor there is a couplet written by Wang Wentai of the Qing Dynasty:
The vast sea in front of the window can open one's eyes,
On the platform, Lengjia can initiate one's mind.
Foyin Shanfang
The residence of Master Foyin, the abbot of the famous Jinshan and Jiaoshan temples in the Song Dynasty. It is said that Foyin and Su Dongpo were good friends when they were young. Once they made a bet, Foyin lost the bet and had no choice but to enter Buddhism. Due to his superb knowledge, he eventually became the great abbot of the Jinshan and Jiaoshan temples, and Dongpo became a famous bachelor in the Song Dynasty. The two often recited poems and painted paintings in Jinshan.
Cishou Pagoda
Also known as Jinshan Pagoda, it was built in Qiliang more than 1,400 years ago. The tower is 30 meters high. There were twin towers in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, it was called "Jianci" Tower", "Jianshou Tower". In 1472, the Japanese painter Sesshu and other Yang Deng visited Jinshan and painted the "Picture of Longyou Zen Temple in Jinshan in the Heart of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty", which has two pagodas facing each other in the north and south. The twin towers were later destroyed by fire. After the collapse, a tower was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty and named Cishou Tower. According to the Buddhist customs in ancient countries, temples are generally built at the same time as pagodas. Especially for famous mountain temples, every temple must have a pagoda. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, the tower was destroyed again. In the 20th year of Guangxu's reign, Monk Yinru, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, vowed to build this pagoda and went to Kyoto to appeal to the Qing court. Cixi ordered him to raise funds to build it on his own. He traveled north and south, asking for alms along the doorsteps, collecting money from various sources, and got the support of Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang. After about five years, he raised 29,600 taels of silver to build the pagoda, which is still called Cishou Pagoda. This pagoda is exquisite, beautiful and tall, standing on the top of Jinshan Mountain. It fits perfectly with the entire Jinshan Mountain and Jinshan Temple, as if it has raised Jinshan Mountain.
The tower is a brick and wood structure with seven levels and eight sides. There is a spiral staircase inside for visitors to climb the tower and have a distant view. There are doors on four sides of each floor, connected by corridors, and there are views on all sides, with different scenery. Tourists climb to the top of the tower. Lean on the railing and look into the distance: look east at Jiao Mountain and the dangerous Beigu Mountain in the Yangtze River, look south at the city scenery and the overlapping mountains and peaks, look west at the sparkling fish ponds and the mighty rapids of the river, and look at the misty waves in the north The ancient town of Guazhou and the ancient city of Yangzhou are eye-opening and refreshing. This is evidenced by the poem "Golden Mountain" written by Wang Anshi, a famous politician in the Song Dynasty:
There are several floors with pillows and stones, and windows on the four walls face the wind.
Suddenly I saw a bird flying to the ground, and I was startled and was in mid-air.
On the outer wall of Cishou Pagoda, there are four characters "Heaven and Earth Tong Geng" engraved on it. These four characters were written by Li Yuan'an, an eight-year-old child in Hunan during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Legend has it that it was the 60th birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi. In order to celebrate his birthday, Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, went to Beijing to see Cixi and said flatteringly: "It's the 60th birthday of Lafayette. I don't have any generous gifts. I just built a pagoda in Jinshan, Zhenjiang, Jiangnan. I named it Cishou Pagoda. I wish you long life." " Cixi thought to herself that this pagoda with her name on it, standing on the top of a famous mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, was really an extraordinary birthday gift, and she couldn't help but feel happy. Then he asked Liu Kunyi: "You wish me a long life and see how long I can live?" Liu Yi was speechless and speechless for a moment. I thought that no matter how much I said or how little I said, I would be punished with beheading. When he was in a dilemma, a child among the ministers and officials quickly handed him a small note from behind. He saw it as if he had found a treasure and quickly handed it over. Cixi saw that it was "Heaven and Earth are the same Geng". With four big characters, Liu Kunyi smiled happily and rewarded Liu Kunyi greatly. Later, these four characters were engraved under Cishou Pagoda.
Ancient Fahai Cave
Fahai Cave, also known as Pei Gong Cave, is located on the cliff on the west side of Cishou Pagoda. It is said that this is where the founder of Jinshan Temple, monk Fahai, lived when he came to Jinshan. . There is a statue of Fahai in the cave, and a banner at the entrance reads "Ancient Fahai Cave." In the mythical story "The Legend of White Snake", Fahai is an evil monk who obstructs and destroys the happy marriages of young men and women, but in history he is a A virtuous monk. Fahai's surname was Pei, known as Pei Tuotou, and he was a native of Wenxi in Hedong. His father, Pei Xiu, was the prime minister of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He felt that "accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger". Once he offended the emperor, there would be no good end. He believed in Buddhism very much and believed that becoming a monk was not as good as wealth and glory, so he decided to send his son to become a monk. Pei Tuotou became a monk and went to Lushan, Jiangxi, and was named Fahai. He studied Taoism and Zen in Lushan and devoted himself to cultivation. Later I went to Jinshan, Zhenjiang. At that time, the temples were deserted, overgrown with thorns, and infested by pythons. He found this cave in the northwest corner of the mountain, lived in the cave, meditated, and the white python fled away. After Fahai came to Jinshan, his biggest wish was to restore Jinshan Temple. He once burned a section of his finger to express his determination. One day, the monks overcame obstacles and went to the river to dig soil. They accidentally dug out some yi of gold (one yi is twenty taels), and reported it to Li Qi, the governor of Runzhou. Li Qi reported it to Emperor Xuanzong, who ordered him to give the gold to Fahai. It was used to restore the temple and was named Jinshan and Jinshan Temple.
According to legend, after the death of Fahai, his disciple Fasun encased his body in gold and offered it in the cave for viewing. Later, his body died, and a stone statue was built as a souvenir. Zhang Shangying of the Song Dynasty came here to visit and wrote a poem about Peigong Cave: "Half of the stone room is a place for meditation. The fame of the past is not easy to wear off. The white python turned into a dragon and returned to the sea, leaving behind the old Toutuo in the rock." The temple monk wrote this poem. Make couplets and hang them on both sides of the cave door.
Liuyunting
At the highest point of Jinshan Mountain, there is a stone pillar pavilion named Liuyunting, also known as Jiangtian Yilan Pavilion and Sea Swallowing Pavilion. The stone tablet in the pavilion was a relic left by Emperor Kangxi when he accompanied his mother to visit Jinshan Temple in the middle of the river more than 300 years ago. Kangxi climbed high and looked far away. The great river went eastward, and the water and sky connected. It was a majestic sight. Then he wrote in Fenbi's handwriting the four characters "A glance at the river and the sky". The pavilion was rebuilt in the 24th year of Kangxi (1685) and rebuilt in the 10th year of Tongzhi (1871). Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang, carved the four words "A View of the River and Sky" written by Kangxi on the stone tablet and placed it in the pavilion. This is one of the best viewing spots to appreciate the beauty of Jinshan Mountain and overlook the beautiful scenery of Zhenjiang City.
It is said that when Kangxi was writing the book, the first three characters of "Jiang Tianyi" were written in one go, but the fourth character "Lan" had so many strokes that he couldn't remember it for a while. But he refused to "be ashamed to ask". He just kept repeating the four words "A glance at the river and the sky" and couldn't write anything. When the surrounding ministers and attendants saw this, they knew that the emperor was facing a difficult problem, but they did not dare to directly come forward to remind him. Although it was easy to mention a word, they were afraid of incurring the crime of deceiving the emperor and beheading him. When he was in trouble, a minister came up with a plan, knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "I see you now."
When Kangxi heard "I see you now", he suddenly realized it and wrote the word "read" in his essay. Because the traditional Chinese character for "Lan" consists of the three characters "chen, jin, and jian", the minister cleverly used the word splitting method to remind the emperor. Because Kangxi was stunned for a long time before he reluctantly wrote the word "Lan", the word looked particularly small, and so on.
Miaogao Terrace
Miaogao Terrace is also known as the Sutra-Shading Platform. "Miaigao" is the free translation of the Sanskrit "Xumi". "Jinshan Zhi" compiled by Liu records: "The Miao Gao Terrace is behind the Jialan Hall. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, monks you and Buddha sealed carved the cliff for it. It is more than ten feet high and has a pavilion on it. It is also called the Sutra Shading Terrace." Xue Shuchang rebuilt it one after another. In 1948, it was destroyed by fire along with the main hall of Jinshan Temple and the Sutra Library, and now only the ruins remain. In those days, Miaogao Terrace was a good place to admire the moon, and there is an anecdote that the famous scholar Su Dongpo once admired the moon here.
In addition, it is said that the story of "Liang Hongyu beats drums to fight against Jinshan" also happened here. In 1130 AD, the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Han Shizhong used 4,000 sailors to besiege tens of thousands of invading Jin soldiers near Jinshan. Mrs. Liang climbed to the Miao Gao platform to beat the war drums and encourage the troops to defeat Jin Wushu's tribe. This historical story was put on the stage of drama and has been famous for thousands of years.
Qifeng Pavilion
Qifeng Pavilion is located on Jin'ao Ridge on the west side of the mountain. In ancient times, it was named Qifengling because there were seven protruding hills. Later, the mountain was cut to build a pavilion, so it was named Qifeng Pavilion.
It is said that during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, a famous anti-Jin general, commanded the anti-Jin war in the north. When he was advancing in victory, the treacherous minister Qin Hui threatened Gaozong and summoned him back to the capital Lin'an (today's Lin'an). Hangzhou). When Yue Fei passed by Zhenjiang, he visited Jinshan Zen Master Daoyue and told Monk Daoyue: "Last night I dreamed of two dogs holding their heads and talking to each other. I don't know whether the trip will be good or bad?" Daoyue replied: "The two dogs talking to each other is the word "prison". I am afraid that I will be imprisoned if I go there, so I must be careful." Yue Fei thanked Dengzhou, and before leaving, Daoyue wrote a poem: "The waves are rolling under the storm pavilion, so be careful to keep the helm tight! Waves." When Yue Fei arrived in Hangzhou, he was framed by Qin Hui under the Fengbo Pavilion. Before he came, he said, "I regret not listening to Dao Yue's words." This sentence reached Qin Hui's ears. Qin Hui was furious and ordered He Li to arrest Dao Yue in Jinshan, Zhenjiang. When He Li arrived at Jinshan, Dao Yue was preaching in the hall. I saw Daoyue straightening her clothes and holding incense. She put her palms together and said a verse: "I am forty-nine years old. Right and wrong arise all day long, not for myself, but because I speak more. He Li came from the south, and I walked to the west. It is not because of the great power of the Buddha that I almost fell. Manpower." After that, he sat on the throne and passed away happily. He Li had no choice but to report the situation back to Qin Hui, and said that Jinshan has seven peaks and good feng shui, so every generation can produce eminent monks. Qin Hui was furious and immediately ordered people to go to Jinshan to level the seven peaks. Later generations built Qifeng Pavilion in memory of Yue Fei and Elder Daoyue of Jinshan Temple. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the war during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and was later renovated into Qifeng Pavilion.
White Dragon Cave
The Bailong Cave is located next to the Yudai Bridge at the foot of the northwest mountain of Jinshan Mountain. It is said that Lingtan, the great-nephew of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, came to Jinshan and meditated in this cave. The white snake fled away and the poisonous gas disappeared. White dragon refers to this white python.
Now there are two white stone statues of Bai Niangniang and Xiao Qingqing in the cave, each about one meter high. According to folklore, this cave is closely related to the "Shui Man Jinshan Temple" in "The Legend of White Snake". Bai Niangzi and Xiao Qingqing called for the water of the East China Sea and fought with the eminent monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple to save their husband Xu Xian. Xu Xian was imprisoned in the temple. Hearing the sound of war drums outside and seeing the pregnant woman fighting hard, she was very anxious. The young monk guarding the temple gate was very sympathetic and let Xu Xian run from Bailong Cave to Hangzhou to meet his wife at the Broken Bridge in the West Lake.
There is a stone crevice in this cave. One person can go in to a depth of several feet. If you go further, the cave will become smaller and no one can go in. I am afraid that only the white snake can enter. Otherwise, why is it called the White Dragon Cave?
Chaoyang Cave
Chaoyang Cave is also known as Rizhao Rock and Guanyin Cave. On the northeast mountainside of Jinshan Mountain, there is a cliff above the cave with the words "Rizhao Rock" on it. When Jinshan Mountain was still in the middle of the river, whenever the sun rose in the east, the stone walls from Chaoyang Cave to the south were covered with gold and green, and the water and sky were all red, which was a wonderful sight. Therefore Chaoyang is the best place to watch the sunrise. The three large stone characters "Chaoyang Cave" still left on the rock were written by Teng Mi in the Ming Dynasty.
Ancient Immortal Cave
The Ancient Immortal Cave is located at the foot of Jin'ao Ridge on the north side of Jin Dynasty. It is 6.6 meters deep and has a half pavilion built next to the cave. Taoism remains here. Legend has it that Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, peered into the river from inside, hence the name "Immortal Cave". A poem written by Cheng Minzheng of the Ming Dynasty goes:
A ghostly ax penetrates the bones of a mountain, revealing a clear window.
When the immortal steps up, he stands up and takes a look at the river.
Jade Belt Bridge
There is a Jade Belt Bridge in front of Jinshan Bailong Cave. Legend has it that Su Dongcheng lost the jade belt in a bet with Jinshan Abbot Buddha Seal. The Buddha Seal was often seen as if it were a treasure. There were too many people watching, but they were afraid of damaging it, so they ordered people to build a bridge in the style of the jade belt. Anyone who wants to see the jade belt can just go see the bridge. The Yudai Bridge is sixteen meters long. Under the bridge, the green waves are rippling and crystal clear, making you feel refreshed and happy.
The Four Treasures of Jinshan
A group of precious historical relics from Jinshan Temple are displayed in the room under Cishou Pagoda. Among them, Su Dongpo’s jade belt, Zhou tripod, Jinshan map and bronze drum are the Four Treasures of Jinshan.
Jade Belt: During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, scholar Su Dongcheng had a close relationship with monk Foyin from Jinshan, which was called "forgetting friendship". One time, the two of them used the Dongpo jade belt to make a bet with Zen couplets. Dongcheng was temporarily slow and lost, and the jade belt became the treasure of the temple.
Su Dongcheng’s jade belt has been in Jinshan for more than 900 years. This treasure is called a national treasure. The jade belt ring is about two inches wide and two feet long. The belt is decorated with twenty-four pieces of beige white jade, which are rectangular, round, and heart-shaped. In the early Qing Dynasty, the four-pronged Changduan Yan blockhouse was destroyed by fire. When Emperor Qianlong came to Jinshan, he ordered jade workers to repair it, and Qianlong's poems were engraved on it. However, the color of the four pieces of jade added later is different from the original jade color, and you can tell them apart at a glance. Zhou Ding: It is a bronze vessel from the era of King Xuan of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It has been in existence for more than 2,700 years. At that time, after King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty succeeded in the Northern Expedition, he cast a bronze tripod as a reward for the commander of the Northern Expedition, Sui Qiqi, so this tripod was also called Sui Qiqi tripod.
Jinshan Picture: This picture was painted by Wen Zhengming, a famous painter of the Ming Dynasty in my country. In the painting, the river is vast and the waves are rippling. The Jinshan Mountain is like floating jade floating on the waves. The mountain is green and green, with a mountain on it. The painted eaves of each building are decorated with Zhu Yu, showing the beautiful and majestic appearance of Jinshan and Jinshan Temple standing in the middle of the Yangtze River at that time. After the painting, there is a poem written by him called "Ode to Jinshan Temple":
White-haired Jinshan continues his old tour, still cyanotic clouds press in the middle stream;
The traces of sand disappear and the tide invades, The shadow of the sail is uneven and the sun is reflected in the building.
The east and west of Jiang and Han have passed away for thousands of years, and the universe has been lifted up and down;
I have been relegated to immortals, so I have been very melancholy, and I have stayed in the clouds to look at the imperial state.
The characters are several inches large, chic and cute.
Bronze drum: It is a drum-shaped bronze vessel, eight inches high, one foot and five inches in diameter, and weighing twenty-three pounds and eight taels. Legend has it that it was invented by Zhuge Liang. It can be used as a cooking utensil for cooking during the march and as a war drum for beating during battles, so it is also called the Zhuge Drum.
Imperial Pier
There are thirteen steps in the north of the mountain, originally built in the style of accompanying the moon, with stone railings on both sides and bell and drum towers on the left and right (destroyed during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty). When Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the south, they came to Jinshan several times and landed at this pier, so it was called "Imperial Wharf".
The guardrail is now engraved with the three characters "Yu Pier".
Guo Pu’s Tomb
Guo Pu’s tomb is located on Shibu Mountain to the west of Jinshan Mountain, also known as Yungen Island. The remains of Guo Pu, a famous writer and exegesis expert of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, are buried on the island, and it is commonly known as Guo Pu's tomb. Guo Pu (AD 276-324) was a native of Wenxi, Hedong (now part of Shanxi). According to records, he was erudite and talented, and was said to be the best in poetry and poetry in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He has annotated important ancient works such as "Erya", "Shan Hai Jing" and "Chu Ci". He is also good at Feng Shui and destiny. At the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he served as Zuo Lang, and was later appointed by Wang Dun as a reporter to join the army. Wang Dun wanted to rebel, but he didn't know whether it would be good or bad. Everyone at that time said it was good luck. When he asked Guo Pu, Pu kept silent. Wang Dun was angry and was killed in Nangang, Wuchang. In the 33rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Huang Jishi, the imperial censor, built a monument for him. The tombstone was engraved with the words "Jin presented the tomb of Guo Pu, the prefect of Hongnong".
The best spring in the world
The best spring in the world is also known as Zhongling Spring and Nanling Spring, one mile west of Jinshan Mountain. It was already famous all over the world in the Tang Dynasty. The first spring was originally in the same river as Jinshan. During the Xianfeng and Tongzhi years of the Qing Dynasty, it landed with Jinshan. According to records, in the past, the spring water was in the river. The river water came from the west and was blocked by Shibu Mountain and Falcon Mountain. The water flow twisted and turned, and was divided into three lings (Leng means water bending, and the three lings are Nanling, Zhongling, and Beiling). Ling), and the spring water is under a water bend in the middle, so it is called "Zhong Ling Spring". Because it is located southwest of Jinshan Mountain, it is also called "Nanling Spring".
Zhonglingquan was lost for a time after landing ashore. Later, in the eighth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, it was discovered by Xue Shuchang and others, who ordered masonry workers to pile stones on the four sides of the spring to form a pool, and Chang Zhentong Seaway Observation Mission Shen Bingcheng wrote a note and erected a monument in the spring of the 10th year of Tongzhi, but the pavilion collapsed. During the Guangxu period, Wang Renkan, the prefect of Zhenjiang, built stone railings around the pool and pavilions beside the pool. Forty acres of land were expanded, ponds were planted with water chestnuts, earth embankments were built, and thousands of willow trees were planted to withstand the impact of the river flow. The willows and lotuses complement each other, making it very beautiful.
On the stone wall south of Fangchi, there are five powerful characters "The No. 1 Spring in the World" engraved on it, which were written by Wang Renkan. A pavilion was built next to the pool. There was an octagonal pavilion built in the south of the pool with double-layered columns and a diameter of seven meters. It was very spacious. It was named "Jianting", which means using water as a mirror and spring as a mirror. There are stone tables and benches in the pavilion for visitors to take a rest, which is very cool and elegant.
