In fact, the most famous one, which is often mentioned, is the first of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing. Say it out, many people will suddenly realize that it was him. Yes, that's right. This is the famous "Lugou Xiaoyue". In ancient times, the rivers here were like practice, and the western hills were like flowers. Whenever dawn sets, the moonlight is reflected in the water, making it brighter and brighter, thus becoming one of the eight famous scenic spots in ancient Yanjing. At the east and west ends of the bridge, there are two monuments, one is the "Lugou Xiaoyue" monument inscribed by Emperor Qianlong in the east, and the other is the monument erected by Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty in 1698 to describe the reconstruction of Lugou Bridge. As we all know, the lions in Lugouqiao are lifelike, with different sizes and shapes. At present, there is no trickle under the Lugou Bridge like in ancient times, but seeing the stone lions and visiting the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Memorial Hall near the bridge not only cultivated sentiment, but also received patriotic education, making it a good place to travel.
One of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing-"Spring Shadow of Qiongdao", Qiongdao, why is this place so familiar? Oh, Beihai. I remember going to Beihai Park when I was a child. At that time, the admission fee was 1 cent, and later it was increased by 5 cents. Now the pass is more than 50 yuan, but I will still take some friends to the park to tell them about the history of Beijing in my spare time. Qiongdao, whose real name is Qionghua Island, is commonly known as Qiongdao by Beijingers. At that time, a generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan was handsome, and Mongolian fighters attacked the capital and set fire to the city. When his grandson Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan came to Beijing, there was no place to live in Beijing. Later, he found a picturesque place with vast waters, which was the back garden of the capital and the place where the emperor enjoyed the cool and summer. This is today's Beihai Park. We all know that there was a great hydrologist and astronomer Guo Shoujing in the Yuan Dynasty, so who presided over the construction of the Beijing City in the Yuan Dynasty? In fact, it is not hard to imagine who is more capable than Guo Shoujing. His master, Liu, was a strange man in the Yuan Dynasty. He built the city of Beijing with Qionghua Island as the center. Qionghua Island is the former site of the Palace in Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the island was not the tantric stupa of Qiongdao that we see now, but was built during the Qianlong period. There is a Guanghan Palace on the island, which is the place where the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty handled government affairs. The first three seas and the last three lakes are collectively called Taiye Pool, also called Haizi, probably because Mongolians have lived on grasslands for a long time and have never seen what the sea looks like. If you still want to see some old Yuan Dynasty objects, don't mention them. In Tuanzhen, Beihai, there is a big jade urn filled with Kublai Khan, which is known as a national treasure cultural relic and named "Du Shan Yu Hai". Interested friends must go and have a look. While enjoying the lakes and mountains of Beihai, don't forget to savor the history.
One of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing-don't mention you. I haven't heard much about this place, but out of interest, I rode my bike all over Beijing and found it. Later, I looked through ancient books and found in A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital that near the Red Temple outside Qihuamen (Chaoyangmen), there was an altar for Yan Zhaowang, which was said to be made of gold. I thought it over. Hey, I suddenly thought of a place name "Jintai Road". Perhaps this altar no longer exists, and later generations named it to commemorate it. This platform was originally built by Yan Zhaowang when he paid tribute to General Le Yi. It was covered with gold to prove his desire for talents. Later, in order to attract talents from all over the world, Jin people also built this platform in Zhongdu City. In Chang' an Hakka dialect, he wrote: "The sun is setting, and the ancient land is hanging alone. Those who board Taiwan Province, look forward to it." There are eight scenic spots in Beijing, which are called "Sunset photos of Huang Jintai". This is the origin of sunset photos on the golden platform.
One of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing-"Xishan Clear Snow" Xishan is the intersection of Taihang Mountain and Yanshan Mountain. The famous Xiangshan Park and badachu park are now good places for Beijingers to travel in autumn or enjoy the red leaves. But what is sunny snow? According to legend, it has been dry for fifteen years, with five snows in one winter and no rain in spring. The emperor and his ministers were worried. One day, Gan Long and others went hunting in Xiangshan for fun. Out of Xizhimen and across Qinglong Bridge, I saw the Xiangshan Valley as white as snow. The emperor was surprised and came to watch carefully. It turns out that 100,000 apricot trees are full of vitality, and the apricot blossoms in the mountains and plains are refreshing. Emperor Qianlong was moved by this scene and happily wrote "Sunny Snow in the Western Hills". It also records that Emperor Qianlong praised the spectacular scene after the snow in the Western Hills and wrote an inscription. "Whether the fine snow in the Western Hills stems from the magnificent scene of silver makeup after the snow in the Western Hills, or whether 100,000 apricot trees are full of vitality, and the apricot blossoms in the mountains and plains are refreshing and give people a good daydream. In the first month in Yun Zheyue, it snowed on 15, and on August 15, it was sunny. Maybe you are lucky enough to see this beautiful sunshine and snow scene.
Where is the scene of "thrips", one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing? I tell you it's gone, but I can tell you where it is. There is a place called Jimen Bridge outside Deshengmen, which is no stranger to Beijingers. In fact, this is not the place where the thistle gate is located, but the site of ancient Ji Cheng, also called Qiu Ji. "Eight Scenes of Yanjing" says: "There are old buildings outside the door, carved columns and painted buildings, and tourists are wandering in the air. There are still two piles of soil inside the door, and the trees are lush and green, and they will not change at four o'clock." So it is called "thrips". For the memory of later generations, after 1949, according to historical materials and Qianlong's poems, a magnificent gate and monument were built in Tucheng on the west side of Xueyuan Road, and the monument of thistle tree stood tall again. Build quaint and elegant buildings, pavilions, cloisters, blue bricks and gray tiles, plant flowers and lawns, and reproduce the scenery of "fragrant trees and thistles, endless smoke and waves, green countryside".
One of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing-"Taiyue Autumn Wind" seems to have appeared somewhere just now. Yes, in the second scenic spot, I introduced you to a place called Sanhai around today, which has long been called yuechi county. How can there be the shadow of Taiyue autumn wind with Qiongdao Spring? That's right. I'm afraid you won't see this kind of scenery today in order to show the different rhythms and unique flavors of the two kinds of scenery in Taiyi Pool. Why? Not because he left, but because his place is so special. Where do you think the North Sea is going south? Don't think about the layers of protective nets and patrol soldiers around you. That's Zhongnanhai. Even if you want to see it, you won't be allowed in. In fact, standing on the Tuancheng, you can see an island off the sea of China from a distance. There is a pavilion on the island called Yunshui Pavilion. Standing around Yunshui Pavilion, the North is Beihai Bridge, which used to be Jin Ao Yuting. Wanshantang and Qianfo Temple on the east coast are close-ups; The majestic Ziguangge is hidden among the green trees in the west bank; Blue waves in the distance, lotus flowers reflecting the sun nearby, and the scenery is pleasant. In autumn, it is a pleasure to watch the autumn wind on the Shuiyun Pavilion.
Juyongguan Great Wall, one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing, is no stranger to Beijingers. It is the north gate of Beijing and one of the three famous passes of the Great Wall. The mountains on both sides of Juyongguan are majestic, green as a screen, with lush trees and beautiful scenery, so it is known as "Juyongdiecui". Emperor Qianlong visited many times in the Qing Dynasty and wrote the poem "Juyong Diecui": "Juyong naturally meets the peaks, and Wan Li's golden soup is solid on nine sides. Don't brag about the risks of the Three Gorges, but it's rugged and difficult to walk. Lan drags Qian Shan to float, and the morning peak spits purple smoke. In the prosperous times, there is no war today, and I am investing in Yamada. " Maybe Qianlong thought his poems were beautiful, or he wanted to praise this scene again. In the sixteenth year of Qianlong's reign, he wrote a poem instead: "Broken walls are crumbling, one after another. At that time, he only said that he would defend the border. The soldier's jade base can't be washed, nor can it be worn when guarding the city. The sound of rocks in spring is often cold, and there are warm peaks that want to smoke during the day. Whipping the intestines of Ana sheep can get more fields than before. And inscribed "Juyong Diecui", erected beside the southeast avenue of Juyongguan. I don't know where to go now, only the monument is abandoned on the west side of the expressway. You might as well drive there when you have time.
One of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing-"Baotu Spring in Yuquan" Some people say that Baotu Spring does not belong to Jinan, Shandong Province. How can it be on Yuquan Mountain? In fact, Baotu Spring in Daming Lake in Jinan is also there. The spring of Yuquan Mountain was named "the first spring in the world" by Lord Qianlong, so with the first spring, there is the first Er Quan. Of course there is. Otherwise, where did the famous erhu song "Two Springs Reflect the Moon" come from Mr. Hua, a master of blind erhu? The second spring in the world is in Wuxi. Yuquan Mountain is very beautiful. Standing on the Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, looking west, there are seven or eight exquisite towers, that is Yuquan Mountain. The water in Kunming Lake and even Taiye Pool comes from Yuquan Mountain and Mentougou Coal Yuquan Mountain, which is a necessity for Beijingers. Gan Long wrote the inscription "The No.1 Spring in the World" and wrote: "Two mountain springs are flowing, Yuquan Mountain is clear, springs are spewing and snow is pouring, and there are not many Tu Tu in Jinan. Those who are interested in the Eight Scenes look down at the rainbow and lose the truth. So it's just a name, it's the first spring in the world, so remember. " And bluntly: "Even if you give me the Eight Scenes of Yanjing to go to Japan, it is no wonder that you don't follow the sound" and "misunderstanding is inevitable". As a result, the minister echoed and the people echoed, which lasted for hundreds of years. In the past 1000 years in Beijing, although the terrain has not changed much, the water level has dropped greatly due to the decrease of vegetation and drought. Today, not only the sudden surge has disappeared, but even the trickle has disappeared.
Xiao bajing, introduce one by one.
It should be said that there is no order in the Eight Scenes of Yanjing, so I will write them in the order I know well. Who is the most familiar with the eight scenes? It must be the "Silver Ingot View Mountain" in Shichahai. Growing up in Shichahai and under the Drum Tower, I have great love for Yinding Bridge. Entering Di 'anmen Street, I saw the bells and drums echoing from afar, with north and south gongs and drums lanes in the east and Shichahai in the west. Two new bar streets with China characteristics have been opened in Beijing. When I entered Shichahai from Yandai Xiejie, I saw a big sign that said, "Yinding Bridge has a mountain view, and barbecue is necessary in barbecue season." When I was a child, I often played by Shichahai. My grandfather told me that when he was a child, he stood on the Yinding Bridge and saw far away. However, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the sky in Beijing was gray and the air pollution was serious. I stood on the bridge, but I couldn't see anything. I was disappointed. Later, Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games strengthened the control of air pollution. It was not until 200 1 that I really witnessed the scenery of Yinding Mountain. Nowadays, fashionistas often go to Shichahai, and the scenery of Bar Street is in sharp contrast with Yinding Mountain, one of the eight small schools in Yanjing. While enjoying modern life, there is also a nostalgic atmosphere, which has become a scene of modern Beijing. This is well worth a visit. Don't forget to try the barbecue during the barbecue season, especially the dish "Tasmi", which is delicious in the world.
Eight scenic spots in the post-Yanjing period-"It rains in the eastern suburbs", and the so-called eastern suburbs are just outside Qihuamen. Today, near Landao, everyone in old Beijing knows that Jiumen takes nine buses and Qihuamen takes grain trucks, because Qihuamen is the granary of the national treasury. Today's Nanxincang Cultural Street is one of the larger ones. At the beginning of Qihuamen, the land was fertile and there was Ma Pingchuan. The countryside is dotted with far and near, and the flowers are bright, especially during the period of ploughing and farming in the spring rain, which shows the pleasure of pastoral scenery. Causing a scene of rain in the eastern suburbs.
After the Eight Scenes of Yanjing-"Bian Xi Sheep", it goes without saying that it must be at Xibianmen. Were there many sheep outside Xibianmen at the beginning, forming a spectacular scenery? Actually, it's not because there are many sheep. Actually, there are no sheep here. What the hell is going on? It turned out that dozens of white stones, three or four feet long, were scattered in the grass on the left side of the moat outside Xibianmen. From a distance, they are like white sheep in the grass, standing or lying or eating green, lifelike and different in shape, just like real sheep. It's really a scene. There are many folklore about these white stones. The most representative thing is that Lu Ban used magic to turn stones into sheep to build Beijing. Because it didn't work, Aries turned back to stone. This is just a folk legend, but it can be seen that people loved this landscape at the beginning.
Eight Scenes after Yanjing-Autumn Wind in the South Beijingers like to say two-part allegorical sayings, such as wringing hands at the front door, such a big shelf, and the police in the four archways. There is also a two-part allegorical saying to describe this scene, which is called the deer of Nanhaizi. What's going on here? It turns out that there is a water area in Nanyuan called Feifangbo. We said yesterday that people in the Yuan Dynasty didn't look at the sea very much. When they see some waters, they call it Haizi, so it is also commonly known as Nanhaizi. At that time, there were lush vegetation, nymph streams and beautiful environment, and many cranes and elk were raised. Every spring and autumn, the emperor often comes here to hunt. These deer have gradually lost their wildness because they have been fed. They eat and sleep, and when they sleep well, they are in a daze, waiting for a quick arrow to end their lives. In recent years, in order to restore the old appearance, the government has vigorously afforested, planted trees, brought back elk and rebuilt Tuanhe Palace, which will become a charming tourist area.
I haven't been to the place of "She Yan Qiu Ming", the post-Yanjing Eight Scenes. It is said that in the southeast of Cai Yu Town in Daxing, there is a platform about two feet high, which is called "Juyantai" by the locals. Therefore, according to ancient legends, it is the place where Yan Qun returned to the south. The day of gathering Yan coincides with the autumn meeting, so it is called "Qiu Ming". I wonder if there is one now. You can go and have a look if you are interested. In this big summer, by the way, bring back some watermelons produced in Daxing, which is delicious and enjoyable.
The Eight Scenes of Yanjing-"Chang 'an Tower" no longer exists. There are two towers in Qingshou Temple in West Chang 'an Street 13. There is a wonderful legend about this tower, but it is very old and little known. I'm still looking. I hope I can make up for it.
Eight Scenes of Yanjing in Later Ages-You may ask, why is this word so magical? Dying people will be found, but that doesn't mean. At that time, there was a Jiro Zhenjun Temple in dengshikou. Who is Jiro Shinji? Don't ask me, you must have seen The Journey to the West, Erlang God Yang Jian, who fought against the Monkey King. Later, with the help of my grandfather Lao Zi, he narrowly defeated Monkey Sun, holding three double-edged knives, followed by a roaring dog. Because Jiro had a lotus lantern and later returned it to Notre Dame, the play "Save Mother Huashan" came into being. Therefore, all the lamp sellers begged Jiro's blessing, and Jiro Temple was also called Dog Temple. It is said that during the Guangxu period in the late Qing Dynasty, a dog suddenly ran into the temple and refused to leave on the incense table. Residents nearby thought the dog was a roaring dog, so they burned incense and worshipped it day and night. The news spread like wildfire, causing a storm in the city. People call this dog the dog god, so Erlang Temple has the common name of Dog Temple. As for the "back to light" landscape of the dog temple, it is related to the Zhonghe Hall in the Forbidden City not far away. It is said that every morning at sunrise, there will be a ray of golden light in the dog temple. At first, people didn't know why, but it was amazing. Later, it was discovered that the temple base of the Dog Temple is opposite the Zhonghe Hall in the Forbidden City, and there is a three-meter-high golden dome in the middle of the Zhonghe Hall. The gilded treasure dome shines in the sun, and then it is reflected in the dog temple just two miles away, forming a wonderful scene of "coming back to life". This temple was demolished because it lived on the road when dengshikou Street was expanded. Today, I will never see it again. But I go to school near Wangfujing and often go to dengshikou by bus. 108 There are snacks in the Chenghuang Temple behind the bus stop. There is a stone dog at the gate, and I vaguely remember that it seems to have broken its hind leg. I didn't know what was going on when I was a child, and I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't know until I looked up the information later.
It goes without saying that it must be Xizhimen, but now the bustling Xizhimen can't see the beautiful scenery of weeping willows by the river outside. Xizhimen takes the waterwheel, because the water used by the emperor comes from Yuquan Mountain. Yuan said he was righteous. There is a white marble water grain stone carving at the entrance of Wengcheng, which is called "West Straight Water Grain" by Beijingers. Dongzhimen and Xizhimen take the meaning of "the people are enlightened, east to the East China Sea and west to the west". Xizhimen folding willow This is a description of the beautiful scenery of weeping willows along the long river outside Xizhimen. After Tomb-Sweeping Day every year, willows bloom. Friends and relatives invited each other for a spring outing in the long river outside Xizhimen, and reluctantly gave each other gifts when they left. Over time, the saying "Xizhimen breaks the willow" was formed.
These 16 scenes are symbols of old Beijing. If you are from Beijing, you should keep them in mind to prevent you from making a fool of yourself in front of foreigners. If you are not from Beijing, you must take a walk in person when you come to Beijing and feel the cultural connotation of old Beijing. To see the perfect scenery, you must go to Long Fu Temple or Huguo Temple to taste Beijing-style snacks, a pea juice, a dish of shredded water, a dish of inby and two doornail patties. They are beautiful and wonderful.
