1, Su Xiaoxiao:

It is said that Su Xiaoxiao met a handsome young constantly chauffeured Ruan Yu by the West Lake. His father was the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. They fell in love at first sight and have been married ever since. Su Xiaoxiao wrote the above "One Heart Song" for this purpose. Soon, Ruan Yu wrote home to tell the story, and his father flew into a rage. How can the Prime Minister's son marry Ge Ji?

But Ruan Fu knows his son's nature well, so he knows his son better than his father. He immediately sent a generous dowry to congratulate him. At the end of the year, Ruan Yu received a letter from home, saying that his father was critically ill and hoped that Ruan Yu could go home to see his father for the last time. So, Su Xiaoxiao packed up and went to Ruan Yu that night. The second day early in the morning to send Ruan Yu on the road. When they left, they were reluctant to go. Ruan Yu vowed to come back as soon as possible after finishing the housework.

Su Xiaoxiao and I revisited Xiling, only to find that Ruan Yu never returned to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao is extremely single-minded and persistent in love, and still stands at the meeting place of Xiling, waiting for her Ruan Lang. With the passage of time, hope passed, only sadness, and finally Su Xiaoxiao fell ill and died of hemoptysis two years later.

On my deathbed, the wet nurse asked Xiaoxiao what his last wish was, and replied weakly, after my death, I was buried in Xiling, where I waited for my Ruan Lang. Bao Ren wept bitterly with a white crown in white, and then buried her in an excellent landscape not far from Xilong Bridge according to Su Xiaoxiao's entrustment to Jia Yi. A monument was erected in front of the tomb, engraved with "Tomb of Su Xiaoxiao in Qiantang."

2. Liang Zhu:

There is a woman in Shangyu County, Yuezhou, Zhu Yingtai who likes reading poetry and wants to study abroad. However, women at that time could not appear in public, so they disguised as men and went to Yuezhou to study. On the way, I met Yin Zhuangyuan and Shijiu Temple who were also going to study in Yuezhou. Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai hit it off and went to Yuezhou together.

During the three years in Yuezhou, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were inseparable, studying together during the day and sleeping together at night. Zhu Yingtai secretly admired Liang Shanbo, but Liang Shanbo's character remained unchanged. He never knew that Zhu Yingtai was a woman, let alone her mind.

On one occasion, when Tomb-Sweeping Day had a holiday, they went to visit Jinghu Lake. Zhu Yingtai hinted at the scenery to Liang Shanbo many times, but Liang Shanbo didn't understand it at all, and even made fun of Zhu Yingtai for comparing himself to a woman. Finally, Zhu Yingtai had to tell Liang Shanbo directly that Liang Shanbo had an epiphany. But all this was known by Ma Wencai who was watching, and Ma Wencai also knew that Zhu Yingtai turned out to be a woman.

Later, his family wrote to urge Zhu Yingtai to go home. Before he left, Zhu Yingtai left a letter telling Liang Shanbo that "28, 37 and 46 will be fixed", which means that Liang Shanbo will go to Zhu Fu to propose marriage ten days later, but Liang Shanbo thought it was three days together, so he went to propose marriage a month later. When Liang Shanbo arrived in Jiazhu happily, he knew that Ma Wencai had proposed first and got a dowry. Liang Shanbo had to leave sadly.

After Liang Shanbo returned to China, Acacia was seriously ill. He wrote to Zhu Yingtai asking for some prescriptions that he couldn't find or get, expressing his despair. At the same time, he hoped that Zhu Yingtai would visit him. Zhu Yingtai wrote back to tell Liang Shanbo that he had no chance in his life and only hoped that they could be buried in Nanshan after their death.

Later, she died of illness and promised Ma's marriage for a pretence, but asked the wedding procession to pass through Nanshan and let her get off the sedan chair. When Zhu Yingtai got off the sedan chair and went to visit the grave, suddenly the wind blew hard and the evil wind was piercing. Liang Shanbo's grave really cracked. When Zhu Yingtai saw it, he jumped into the grave and it closed again. Soon, a pair of butterflies flew out of the grave.

3. Luban incense burner:

Lu Ban, a skillful craftsman, took his sister to work in Hangzhou, and happened to meet the snakehead essence swimming in the West Lake, which made the whole city smoggy. Narcissistic snakehead also wants to marry Lu Xiaomei. Lu Ban chiseled a cliff in Baoshi Mountain as his dowry, and the giant incense burner placed snakehead firmly at the bottom of the West Lake, leaving only three gourd-shaped furnace feet on the surface of the West Lake.

4. Kangxi and Yunlin Temple:

Emperor Kangxi went down to the south of the Yangtze River and came to Hangzhou. He traveled around the West Lake, recited poems and wrote inscriptions, calling himself the refined emperor. One day, he will come to Lingyin to play tricks. The old monk in Lingyin Temple was really pleasantly surprised when he learned the news. He quickly rang the bell and drums and called more than 300 monks in the whole temple. The monk put on a brand-new cassock, put sandalwood on his head, knocked on the instrument and read "Amitabha Buddha in the South". Everyone followed the old monk and rushed to Shiliange, a mile away, to take Emperor Kangxi to Lingyin. The old monk accompanied Emperor Kangxi to play in front of the temple, behind the temple, on the mountain and under the mountain. Emperor Kangxi saw Lingyin, towering peaks, clear springs, shady trees on the mountains and underground safflower everywhere. What a nice place! As soon as he was happy, he ordered people to drink and eat in the temple, hoping to play for a while. ?

5, smelly Qin Gui:

There is a moon powder near the West Lake. There are four iron statues kneeling in front of the moon powder, including two couples of Qin Gui who betrayed their motherland and killed Yue Fei. Earlier, there was a newly appointed Fu Tai in Hangzhou, surnamed Qin, who was a descendant. Soon after Mrs. Fu took office, she went to the West Lake with her hands. When I came to Yuefen, I saw my ancestors kneeling in front of others, covering their faces with sleeves and stepping back. Fu Tai returned to the yamen, fidgeting and fidgeting, so he called touts to discuss and wanted to move the iron statue. The master stroked his beard, thought for a moment and said, "If you touch it openly, the people will definitely refuse, and maybe something will happen. I think it's better to send someone to throw the iron statue into the West Lake in the dark. In such a big West Lake, the iron statue sinks to the bottom of the lake, and even if the waterwheel is dry, it is difficult to find it. " Futai repeatedly praised: "Wonderful! Wonderful! " So that night, someone sent someone to throw the iron statue into the lake.

Second, the historical story about the Three Embankments of West Lake:

1, white body: Bai Juyi

Spring outing in Qiantang was written by Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty.

From the north side of Gushan Temple to the west side of Jiating, the lake is just level with the embankment, with low clouds and waves on the lake.

Several early orioles raced to the sunny tree, and their new swallows were carrying mud in their nests.

Colorful spring flowers will gradually fascinate people's eyes, and shallow spring grass can barely cover the horseshoe.

I love the beauty on the east bank of the West Lake, and I can't get enough of it, especially the white sand embankment under the green poplar.

Going to the north of Gushan Temple and the west of Jiagongting, I stopped for a moment and looked up, but I saw the water level rising and the white clouds drooping, which was beautiful. A few orioles, scrambling to fly to the sunny tree, whose swallow brought spring mud to build a new nest? Colorful flowers, almost charming eyes and green weeds just covered the horseshoe. The scenery in the east of the lake is unforgettable, and the most lovely thing is the white sand embankment hidden by Populus davidiana.

2. Su Causeway: Su Shi

"Once you visit the West Lake, you will be immortal." This is Su Dongpo's quatrains praising the West Lake. It runs through the west of West Lake, with a total length of 2 or 8 kilometers. Because Su Dongpo presided over the renovation when he was the magistrate of Hangzhou in the Song Dynasty, there were six bridges on the embankment, such as Yingbo and Span Bridge, which were simple and beautiful. Many flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the embankment, and the scenery in spring is particularly touching. There is "Spring Dawn in Su Causeway" in the dike, ranking first among the "Ten Scenes of West Lake". At that time, Su Dongpo once wrote a poem praising the Six Bridges: "The Six Bridges span the Tianhan Mountain, and the North Mountain begins to meet the South Mountain; Suddenly, I was shocked by 250 thousand feet, and the old man swept across the sky. " ?

3. Yang Gongdi:

After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty in Yuan Dynasty, people blamed the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty on the West Lake. Since then, the government has not only abandoned the West Lake, but also allowed the giants to occupy it as a field. This wind continued until the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the West Lake was on the verge of extinction. 1503, Yang became the chief of Hangzhou. In desperation, he pushed through the crowd and, with the approval of the imperial court, began dredging the West Lake on February 2, 508, which took 152 days. At that time, 348 1 mu of farmland was demolished, and part of the dredged sludge benefited Su Causeway. Most of the silt builds a long dike opposite Su Causeway, starting from the west side of Qixia Mountain and going around Dingjiashan to Nanshan. West Lake has been restored to its original appearance in Tang and Song Dynasties, with convenient transportation between north and south. In memory of him, people called this dam "Yang Gongdi".

Extended data:

The origin of the name of West Lake:

Geography of Hanshu: "Qiantang, Governor of the West. Wulin Mountain, where Wulin water comes, goes east into the sea and travels 800 miles. " Later, there were various names such as Qianshui Lake, Qiantang Lake, Ming Sheng Lake, Jinniu Lake, Hanshi Lake, Shang Hu Lake, Kongtong Lake, Fangchi Lake, Xizi Lake, Gaotu Lake, Xiling Lake, Longchuan Lake, Xiaojinguo Lake, Ren Mei Lake, Xianzhe Lake and Yueming Lake, but only two were generally recognized and documented in the past dynasties. First, because the lake is west of Hang Cheng, it is named West Lake. The earliest name of "West Lake" appeared in Bai Juyi's two poems. The West Lake returned to Gushan Temple in the evening to present guests, and Hangzhou returned to the boat. After the Northern Song Dynasty, most famous poems were named after the West Lake, and the name of Qiantang Lake was gradually unknown. Su Shi's Seeking the West Lake in Hangzhou is the first time to use the name "West Lake" in official documents.
