Passed on in poetry. The eight scenes are: fishing in the east, reading in the south building, reflection of the West Lake, Beicun Lotus Society, Qinggao with flower shadows, bamboos in the meditation room, bright moon on the stone bridge, and locust tree hanging in the green courtyard. Before and after the Revolution of 1911, another theory emerged about the Eight Scenic Spots of Qintong. Namely: Guanyu in the east, Sophora japonica in the west, Beicun Zen Temple, Autumn Moon in Banqiao, Spring Orioles in Willows on the embankment, clear pond with flower shadows, and spiritual trees in deserted kilns.
