I like to have fun everywhere, whether it's a person or a group of people. Precipitated things will automatically eliminate bad pictures, all of which are beautiful.
You can see Suzhou buildings with blue bricks and white walls when you leave Suzhou Station. Its style is just like common ink painting: light white background, herringbone roof, blue frame, and appropriate tone, which is as simple as it can be.
Walking in the alleys of Suzhou ancient city, stepping on slender bluestone bricks, holding the white wall and examining the mottled traces on the corrugated wall, it seems to touch a vicissitudes of history.
Once upon a time, "the beauty here is the southeast crown", and even Cao Gong praised Suzhou as "the most prosperous and romantic place in the world of mortals" in A Dream of Red Mansions. At that time, there were many original boats, and Suzhou Pingtan, which sang lightly, was the most attractive.
Tang Bohu, a romantic genius, also left a sentence: "The city and rivers shake everywhere, and the streets stay up all night". Thinking about how many romantic past events have gone away like fallen flowers, I feel a little inexplicably sad.
When it comes to Suzhou, people always think of the phrase "small bridge running water" for the first time. There is a poem in ancient times: "When we meet in Gusu, people will sleep by the river. There are few leisure places in the ancient palace and many small bridges in the water lane. " In fact, there is no need to explore it deliberately. Walking around, you will find a bridge here almost every 100 meters.
Suzhou city's waterways extend in all directions and crisscross. Since the ancients built the city here 2,500 years ago, it has flourished for thousands of years, and it has also nurtured a heavy bridge culture. Especially those older stone bridges, which have different shapes, such as Hong Fei Bridge, stand on the clear water with graceful posture, which makes people have countless reverie.
According to him, Wannian Bridge outside Xumen is a famous three-hole bridge, which was built in that year and was grandly named "Wannian Bridge" during the reign of Qing Qianlong to show its long history. 1952, when the government rebuilt it, it was changed to reinforced concrete beam. The arch of the bridge is very high and the hole is also very high. At night, tourists often take boats from here and sail along the river unimpeded.
There are many small ancient bridges in Shantang Street, the old street in the urban area. Tonggui bridge and Puji Bridge are both integrated with the surrounding buildings, so you can make a scene at any stop. This kind of beauty is soothing and quiet, which instantly comforts an impetuous and tired heart.
Suzhou is known as the "city of gardens", and tourists from all corners of the country flock to Suzhou, mostly for the sake of gardens-even if they stop here for other reasons, they will always feel sorry if they don't take the opportunity to visit.
The so-called "Jiangnan garden is the best in the world, and Suzhou garden is the first in Jiangnan". It is said that there used to be more than 200 large and small gardens here, but now there are dozens. The four most famous gardens are Master Wang Garden, Lion Forest, Humble Administrator Garden and Lingering Garden.
I remember that I was in a hurry and had no choice but to choose the most prestigious Humble Administrator's Garden to feast my eyes on. Humble Administrator's Garden is located in the city center. At this time, it is the end of winter and spring is coming. The garden should wake up slowly. If there is snow, it will be another scene.
However, when I entered the Humble Administrator's Garden, it was already summer. Although it is difficult to have the scenery of "an egret flying over the quiet wetland", there is a green ghost of "mango birds singing in the trees in midsummer"
Walking into the Humble Administrator's Garden is the time with the most tourists in the morning. Looking around, there are figures coming and going, but they still can't stop the thick greenery that overflows the whole garden. Sunlight spreads along the smooth green, just like a colorful oil painting. In the painting, the rockery is green, and the cloister is winding, with three steps and one pavilion, and five steps and one pavilion. From a distance, there are towering trees, and from a distance, there are pools and lotus flowers. The landscape is exquisite and exquisite.
The tour guide introduces the greatest characteristics of Suzhou gardens, pays attention to "changing scenery", and has a very clever design for the arrangement and viewing position of the scenery, trying to perfectly reproduce the space and structure of the external world in the limited internal space. To put it bluntly, it is to compress and pack the natural landscape outside and move it to your back garden. This is perfectly reflected in the humble administrator's garden.
Wang, the first gardener, had a bad career and was disheartened. He returned to his hometown to "build a house and plant trees and enjoy himself". "This is also my humble opinion." Therefore, this garden was named "Humble Administrator's Garden". The tower shadows, weeping willows, lotus flowers and four-sided pavilions in the garden are the most talented designs, all of which have a strong shadow of freehand brushwork landscape paintings by literati in Tang and Song Dynasties. The landscape is implicit and full of humanistic atmosphere.
Follow the tour guide around the garden, out of Linglong Pavilion, and come to Jianshan Building. This is a very interesting ancient building, which comes from Tao Yuanming's "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely". I heard that you could see a mountain outside Suzhou upstairs before, but now you can only see the rockery in the garden upstairs because the surrounding buildings block the view. There is no open staircase in this building, but a tunnel is built in the rockery beside the garden. The ingenious design is really amazing, much better than the office building in the suspense film in the film and television drama.
I miss the lush flowers and plants in the garden. Especially the flower in a corner, red and fragrant, was later called the other shore, a title full of Buddha's nature. The metaphor about the other side always makes people feel a little mysterious. I'm curious about its origin and wonder if it has anything to do with distant ancient India. I remember seeing this kind of flower in my hometown many years ago, commonly known as fire phoenix. I want to reach out and pick one and bring it back to the north to leave a thought. After all, I am not willing to lay hands on it.
Climbing Tiger Hill is to pursue beautiful legends and unknown allusions under the dust of history. Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, once said, "It's a pity not to visit Tiger Hill in Suzhou", so whether the scenery is beautiful or not, he decided to climb it.
The name Tiger Hill is very impressive, but it is actually just a hill outside the city. According to historical records, He Lv, the king of Wu, was buried here. It is said that a white tiger sat on it three days after burial, hence the name.
There are many scenic spots on Tiger Hill, among which three are impressive: Leaning Tower, Sword Pond and Mother's Tomb.
The leaning tower, the scientific name of Yunyan Temple Tower, is one of the eighteen scenic spots in Tiger Hill. It is 47 meters high and has seven octagonal floors, made of blue bricks. Built in the Five Dynasties, it has a history of 1000 years. It is said that the foundation of the oldest large brick tower in the south of the Yangtze River partially subsided during the construction. After successive repairs, the inclination of this ancient pagoda was finally controlled at 198 1.
The most mysterious and attractive monument in Tiger Hill is Jianchi. Walking through the boulder of thousands of people, looking north, there are four characters of "Tiger Hill and Sword Pool" next to the circular cave door, each with a stroke three feet high and vigorous brushwork. Entering the round cave door with a hole in the sky, it feels cold and dark, and the weather is changeable.
I looked up and saw two steep stone cliffs rising from the ground, locking up a pool of green water. The water reflected the shadow of a stone bridge. Looking up, the arched stone bridge flew high on the floor, and several tourists were looking down curiously, looking at each other and smiling.
Touching the mossy stone wall makes me feel chilly, but I doubt whether this stone wall was really a famous sword pool thousands of years ago, as the tour guide said. Because according to historical records, countless people came here to look for swords, and they all "returned in vain." It can be seen that legends are limited to legends after all.
The most fragrant legend on Tiger Hill comes from the mother's tomb. According to legend, this story is related to Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Zhenniang was originally a geisha in Suzhou in Tang Dynasty. Her parents died when she was a child and she was tricked into a brothel. She is famous for her beautiful appearance and good at singing and dancing. However, her character is noble and clean and she is determined not to be insulted. She committed suicide to resist the oppression of the madam and was buried in Tiger Hill for the tomb of her true mother.
When Bai Juyi was appointed as the secretariat of Suzhou, he heard about it and wrote the poem "Mother's Tomb" many times, which has been passed down to this day. I really don't know what kind of beauty this is, which makes great civilian poets so obsessed.
Geisha and poets, beauty and literary talent, men and women, death and fate, embedding these themes in the background of feudal times is enough to make people think deeply.
Just behind the legend, it is difficult for us to guess the truth. And those have nothing to do with romance and leisure.
