Changshu Travel
December 9 to 16 days, I made a trip to Changshu.
From Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, car after Shanghai's Jiading, Jiangsu Taicang a half hour later, we have a line 10 to enter the territory of Changshu. The south of Suzhou Municipality, Jiangsu Changshu is a county-level city where the history is said to harvest crops every year, there is an ancient Chinese emperor wrote the imperial brush "the world Changshu" words. "Changshu" will become the names of here.
Changshu economically developed than I ever imagined. Changshu sector from entering into our stay at the hotel about an hour's drive all the way though still rural, but the roads on both sides and Shanghai, Jiading, Jiangsu Taicang along the way, as many factories have almost see farmland. The famous "porceden" down jackets in the company in Changshu city about 20 kilometers away from the place. Changshu is said to have the country's largest garment wholesale market, here more than the clothing sold in Russia. What we see are mostly local farmers, housing three small Western-style design is very unique, very beautiful wall decoration. In Changshu city, generally only in the larger cities of Hualian Business Building and the six-ring of large department stores also have in this county, next to the first Changshu Hualian Department Store, and there are several large specialty stores. Although the first department store things according to my opinion, expensive, somewhat irregular, and some commodity prices and hotel actually similar, but the mall's popularity is still very wang.
We stay in the hotel is located in Shang Lake Scenic Area. Shang Lake is by far the biggest lake I've seen, and the lake has 12,000 acres, Lake sides of the road is a neat fragrant camphor tree, wearing peach and white willow lake dam is very pleasant. Breakwater bridge some of the sculptures and the southern garden-style pavilions and corridors are still more so that adds a lot of Aura Lake.
We visited the temple and Yushan Changshu Hing Fook. Xing-Fu Temple is located at the foot of Yushan, Changshu city about 1 km away from the temples more than 1500-year history, the door couplets Tongzhi and the Qing Dynasty Emperor Guang Xu's teacher Weng Tong reading "Tibetan mountain temple, the door to make labor people." According to tour guide, Xing-fu temple called the Great Buddha at the temple inside the stone. Piece of stone left to see is a Traditional "Xing" word, the right to see is a Traditional's "blessing" is used. To earn a temple was built, it is more typical of the southern Chinese style of landscape architecture, so the temple looked elegant and refined compact. Temple of the things on both sides of each pond, rockeries, and pavilions. East Pool has a teahouse, tea in front of the Big Dipper Ping side of 67 middle-aged patrons sitting around basking in the sun a long winter a few, nibbling a pumpkin seed and sipped tea and laughing, was very pleasant. "There must have Tiyong Monuments" (Mr. Yu Qiuyu "white hair Suzhou" language) to keep abreast of tea a piece of stone inscription on the legislation, is one of the Song Dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu of the four authentic. Inscriptions book is a Tang Dynasty poet the money to visit the temple after xing fu wrote a poem:
Into the temple early morning sunshine Gao Lin
Flowers deep its winding at Buddhist temple
Birds of Tan Shan Koetsu drink empty hearts
Wei-Wen Chung Ju Ji Blues Wong, Mandala This exhausted tone, however, Mi Fu and did not follow the money to the original poem written, but according to their own insight in the temple give money Xing Fu's poetry changed from five. This five is "the beginning of the high sunshine forest" changed to "first day out of high forest," Mi Fu that is the beginning of day, temple must be according to the first light after the sun to the sun. , "Its winding Office" to "Bamboo Trail Pass secluded office" had the money to write "its winding Office" in Xing Fu Temple Emerald Buddha floor behind the hill, where there is a long clumps of Guanyin Zhu. Said that phrase "its winding" in the money from the date of the first poem. There are three of "Blues Wong, Mandala of this Ju Ji" and "Ju" to "all", "the only sound heard bell exhausted" and "Only" to "but", "smell" to "tonight's." Mi Fu's such a change, perhaps even more to add people to visit the temple Hing Fook interest. Because some people "seeking not so much scenery, as it is seeking poetry" (Yu "Cultural Journey").
Xing-Fu Temple there is a special feature is the king dedicated to bring up the rear of a building is "Sakyamuni Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" and then is the "Main Hall" and the arrangement of the traditional temple architecture is in accordance with "Heavenly King Hall, Main Hall, Kwun Yam Pavilion" sequence. Xing-Fu Temple This temple arranged relatively rare in the country.
Xing Fu left temple, we drove to the danger of the Peak. "Ten-mile Aoyama and a half into the city," the city of Changshu Yushan is a natural barrier. Here rich in Yellowstone and green tea. Yushan Yellowstone rockery built slightly Cuzhuo, unlike the lake was built rockery stone, "wrinkle, thin, transparent" smart. In Changshu ancient landscape architecture, it is precisely this Cuzhuo and smart contrast and glorified at the same time loved by people. 清乾隆年间, Tung Kok scholar Pu Jiang's son, Jiang Yuan-shu in Taiwan prefect built by famous garden --- Jiangnan Yanyuan (the beginning of the name "Chiang Kai-shek Garden") has both a rockery stone lake, another Yellowstone rockery. This Garden "5-zhi tong" before the rockery is "to Yushan modeled using Yushan Yellowstone, with rings the size of Yellowstone bridge law will take the hook formed, both strategically located and difficult also firmly" (Yuan Xue Han Gong Jianyi of "Suzhou Garden"). The famous Chinese writer Zeng Pu idea to complete the novel "A Flower" and other works when the House, "has Garden", "Joan Yuk House," with the name "One day a small" rockery adjacent to Yellowstone. "Has garden" courtyard in the South still has the name "Miao have" lake stone rockery. Famous garden in Suzhou, the "Lotus Garden" is more a result of the courtyard in the majestic Yellowstone rockery vigorous momentum and unique style ( "Suzhou Garden").
Yushan top there is a jiange. Jiange during the Ming dynasty is said to have later destroyed. The existing site in the original 1989 re-built. Along the steep stone steps from the jiange down to 100 meters away, you can see peaks split in two, the "Jianmen." According to legend, the late Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Gan-known craftsman, his wife Mo Ye collect "five fine iron mountain", "Kuni's Kim," Tempered sharp sword male and female. Gan future generations will be called "moye Sword" of the female sword dedicated lu king, the king would try to "moye Sword" is the sharp peaks split in half to form Jianmen. This story and Suzhou, Tiger Hill, "the king try sword stone" story version of the same, but different locations. Of course, the authenticity of the story is not important, after all, Yushan and Jianmen jiange the origins of the people making a lot of fun to give, so that foreign tourists because it is rather more profound impression on the Changshu, for example, I am.
