Eight views in the interior

"Watching the Tide in the East Building"

refers to watching the tidal rise of the Hanjiang River from the East Gate Building (Guangji Tower). Because the East Gate Building faces Xiangzi Bridge (Guangji Bridge), the Hanjiang River rises every spring and summer and flows through Xiangzi Bridge to form a unique landscape. This scene seems to be the same as "Xiangqiao Spring Rise", but the viewing position is different.

"Chrysanthemum appreciation in the West Garden"

refers to the villa garden of Huang Jin, the former minister of rites in the late Ming Dynasty, which is located from Daohou Lane to Mangxiang. Because the garden is called the West Garden, the artificial lotus pond in the garden is colorful, especially with the most varieties of chrysanthemums, chrysanthemum appreciation has become a scene. This place has been built as a school at present, so "enjoying chrysanthemums in the West Garden" does not exist.

"Sanskrit Singing in the Ancient Temple"

refers to the National Zen Temple in Kaiyuan Town, which is located on Kaiyuan Road. In the past, there were many monks, and every time they did their homework in the morning, they made a pleasant chanting sound, which made them intoxicating, thus becoming a scene. Unfortunately, Kaiyuan Temple is now in a downtown area, and there are not many monks, so it has no past effect. Of course, the morning and evening classes will still attract some listeners.

"government bell"

located at the junction of Yi 'an Road and Changli Road, the government office (the former city government) had a building in front of it, called zhenhai tower, and there was a big clock upstairs, which sounded the bell every time the night was still deeper, and it sounded all over the city. The 118 woodcarving monkeys on the railing stigma upstairs are lifelike and of high value, commonly known as "Fu Lao Monkey". During the Revolution of 1911, because the Qing army was holed up, the revolutionary army set fire to the building and set it on fire, and this scene also disappeared.

"Lotus Noon Photo"

Located at the intersection of Shangxiping Road and Xima Road, the lotus ancient well is a wonder because there are stone-carved lotus flowers in the well. When the light comes down the well at noon, the lotus flowers emerge in the water. It is said that at the beginning, because Jing Quan was too fierce and sprayed sediment, a stone lotus was pressed against the spring. Because there are many houses around now, it is difficult to enter the well at noon, and the well is abandoned due to the construction of tap water, and an iron fence has been built to protect it.

"Seven Stars Step on the Moon"

is located in Qixingqiao Lane, Zhongjiefang, Beima Road. It used to be a ditch pond with a stone bridge and a pier with seven holes. Every moonlit night, the moonlight pours into the bridge hole from east to west from midnight, reflecting the water. Pedestrians come here to enjoy the moon, which is unique. Now this place is all residential, leaving only Qixing Bridge Lane.

"Kuige Chenhui"

Located at the south gate of the ancient city, the original Kuixing Pavilion (also known as Kuixing Pavilion) has a rigorous and simple structure, and there is a sculpture of double dragons grabbing pearls on the top of the pavilion. Because the big pearl in the middle is dazzling under the morning light, it is called "Kuige Chenhui". At present, this pavilion has been abandoned.

"Ludi Night Watch"

is located at the place where King's Palace Lane connects with Huancheng Road. Originally, this place was connected with the West Lake, and it was called Ludizhou, also known as Xiaoxihu. It is named after the elegant scenery, especially the lights of the fishing village at sunset or night. Now it has been built into houses and hospitals.

Eight Scenery Outside

"Xiangqiao Spring Rise"

Xiangzi Bridge, namely Guangji Bridge, lies outside the east gate of Chaozhou, lying on the rolling Hanjiang River, with Bijia Mountain in the east, downtown East Gate in the west, Phoenix Island in the south and jincheng mountain in the north, with magnificent and charming scenery. Folk songs sang: "It's a waste of time to go if you can't reach the tide;" If you can't get to the bridge, you will walk in vain. " Guangji Bridge was built in the seventh year of Song Dynasty (1171) as a floating beam, which is called "Kangji Bridge". After that, it took more than 211 years to change, and it was only in the eighth year of Zhengde in Ming Dynasty (1513) that the unique style of "eighteen shuttles and twenty-four continents" was formed. Chaozhou folk song: "Chaozhou Xiangqiao is so romantic, with 18 shuttles on 24 continents and 24 terraces on the 24th floor, and two flying Niu Yi" sings the historical features of Xiangzi Bridge. "Xiangqiao Spring Rising" is one of the "Eight Scenes of Chaozhou": in late spring and March, the Hanjiang River rises and the river surface widens, and 18 boats in the middle of the eastern and western sections of Xiangzi Bridge are connected in a line, which is really like a long queue lying on the waves. Looking at the drip bamboo forests on both sides of the upper reaches, the peach blossoms in full bloom in Xianzhou and the green willows along the river are all floating on the water, and the scenery is pleasant, just like Sanxiang. There is a poem praising: Xiangqiao rises in spring, and eighteen boats lock the bridge. The stone snow flies to the heron on the beam, and the stormy waves sound through the Haimen tide. The waves of peach blossom rose in Yazhou, and the smoke in Crocodile Island was deep in wicker. Changhong in the area is good in March, and it is planned to go to the clouds.

"Hanci Oak"

Crossing Guangji Bridge, you can see the winding Bijia Mountain, where rocks are stacked, pines and cypresses are shaded from the sun, and you can climb up the mountainside along the stone steps of Zhongfeng, and the solemn and quiet Hanwen Temple stands in front of you. This is the scenic spot of "Hanci Oak". Bijiashan, formerly known as Shuangjing Mountain, is called Bijiashan because it looks like a penholder. Han Wen Gong Temple is located at the foot of Shuangjing Stone in the middle peak of Bijia Mountain. According to legend, when Han Yu was demoted as the secretariat of Chaozhou, he often climbed this mountain, built pavilions for sightseeing, and personally planted oak trees. Later generations admired Han Gong and called Bijiashan "Hanshan" and the pavilion "Assistant Lang Pavilion". In the 16th year of Song Chunxi's reign (1189), Ding Yunyuan, a military official, thought that Han Gong had swam here and planted oak by hand, and that the temple of Han Gong should be moved here, so he moved the Han Wengong Temple in Qili, south of the city to this site. The building of Han Wen Gong Temple is simple and elegant. The walls are all made of water-milled bricks. The temple is divided into two parts, with two corridors. After that, it rises seven feet, and there are stone steps to climb, right in the middle for the statue of Han Yu. The stone pillars in the temple are engraved with couplets, and the four walls are surrounded by 41 inscriptions of past dynasties, which detail the historical sites of Han Yu's ebbing tide and the rise and fall of the temple. According to legend, the oak planted by Han Yu in those days was in front of the shrine. According to the description in Han Muzan by Wang Dabao, a minister of the Song Dynasty, the oak tree is shaped like a canopy, covering the eaves, its skin is fish-scale-shaped, its leaves are thin and long, its veins are convex and angular, and it blooms at the turn of spring and summer, red and white, which is very beautiful. But the flowers don't bloom very often, and chaozhou people admired Han Yu, so much so that he became better at this oak planted by his hand. "The prosperity and decline of the name of the Oracle branch is based on the abundance of flowers", and even the Chaozhou Fuzhi has a record that "the oak flowers in the ancestral temple have been dry for nine years, and the name of the branch is prosperous". As a result, the ancestral temple, the name of Mubuke, and the "Han Temple Oak" have become one of the eight scenic spots in Chaozhou. Zheng Lanzhi, a member of the Yi people, has a poem saying: Plant a towering green mountain, and the assistant minister leans on the railing. The roots are deep in August and the temple is ancient, and Ye Yushuang is cold for years. The uneven shadows invade Qushui, and how many strange flowers are reflected in the temple altar. If visitors ask about the subject name, it means Fang Lin's old surname is Han.

"Jinshan Gu Song"

Jinshan stands on the bank of Hanjiang River in the north of the city, about 41 meters high, and is like a kettle. It is the back pillow of Chaozhou ancient city, and forms three barriers with Hulu Mountain in the west and Bijia Mountain in the east. Jinshan Gu Song, formerly known as Maqiu Songcui. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Destroying the Front Village was leading the Chaozhou people to rise up against the invasion of Yuan soldiers. Later Yuan would buy Huang Huzi, the inspector of the South Gate, as the internal force, to capture Chaozhou City, and Ma Fa's "disability rate" was more than 111 people, who entered Baozicheng (namely Jinshan). I can't do it, so my wife hanged herself, and it came from the scorpion. "With a door full of martyrdom, the people of the whole city were killed several times in the process of Yuan Bing's massacre. Later, in order to commemorate Ma Fa and Chaozhou people's resistance to Yuan Dynasty, Ma Fa's tomb was built on Jinshan, and pines, pines and cypresses were planted as a metaphor for high morals and bright festivals. Zheng Lanzhi has a poem praising: The peak rises in the north of Jinshan, and a pine trees in the shade for ages. The lingyun hangs a hundred feet, and it is green and snow-resistant for three winters. The wind pavilion is covered with green flying floors, and the tigers and stones blow the waves every night. Changzhi Haibang standard strength festival, full of autumn colors in the forest. The secretariat court in Tang Dynasty and the state government in Song Dynasty were both located at the foot of Jinshan Mountain. During the period of Xiangfu in the Song Dynasty (1118-1116), Wang Han, a state official who knew the army in Chaozhou, saw that "the shape of a mountain wins all things". So cut thorns, promote civil engineering, open paths, build litchi pavilions, Phoenix pavilions, Chu Yang pavilions and Xihui pavilions, and build Duxiufeng, Chu Yang Peak and Wangxian Stone, showing all the scenery of Shigang. Successive dynasties have continuously repaired and carved poems and notes on rocks, making Jinshan a tourist attraction.

"Phoenix Rains"

The Phoenix Terrace is located at the northern end of Laoyazhou (later called Shazhou Island or Phoenix Island) in the southern suburbs of Chaozhou City. It was built in the second year of Qin Long in Ming Dynasty (1568) when the Chaozhou magistrate was waiting for it. Phoenix Terrace is the main building of Phoenix Island Park. Because it stands at the head of Phoenix Island, it has been flooded by fierce wave for many times in history. Before this reconstruction, the remnants were repaired in the early years of the Republic of China. The platform is a four-column, single-eaved pavilion with cement structure, which is far from the original appearance. The newly rebuilt Phoenix Terrace consists of two parts: the terrace and the pavilion, which sit south and face north, reaching more than 41 feet. The first stone seat in the platform is a high platform, which is as high as eight feet. The second floor is the Ming terrace, which is about eight feet high, and the pavilion is seven feet high. It is supported by eight eaves columns and 12 doorposts. The roof is a three-bay, high in the middle and low on both sides, forming a three-mountain shape. From the two levels with different heights of the roof, there are six cornices on the front and back, two cornices on both sides, and eight cornices are outlined. Staggered height, high eaves and teeth, majestic and elegant, magnificent and spectacular, reappearing the original face and charming style of Phoenix Terrace. The plaques on the pavilion, such as "Rain on the Phoenix Terrace" and "mainstay", set off against the wooden structure, the Ming arch bucket and the traditional blue tiles on the roof, which are unified and harmonious and have a brilliant literary spirit. If you appreciate it from a distance, it will be as beautiful as the ancients said, "smoke clouds open the picture, lights see the balcony." Phoenix Terrace is famous for borrowing scenery. One of the eight scenic spots in Chaozhou, "Phoenix Rain", refers to the beautiful scenery of rain and rain here in summer. In that season of rain and sunshine, the wonders on the river are ever-changing, sometimes the rain is sparse, the light smoke on the river is faint, and the sails are shuttling; Looking at Xiangzi Bridge from afar, it is misty and rainy, and the traffic is like a mirage; Looking up at Bijia Mountain, the clouds are misty, and the pavilions on the mountain are shrouded in gauze. Sunny and scorching sun, when the rain drops suddenly, it seems that thousands of silver beads are thrown from the sky, and the sunshine reflects raindrops, and it is like a thousand bead curtains swaying out of thin air, which makes people linger, feel relaxed and happy, and suspect in fairyland. The poem of Zheng Lanzhi, a scholar of Qing Qianlong, vividly describes this scenic spot: the terraces on the outskirts of Fengcheng, when it rains, cross the water. Yunsuo Xiangqiao suspects the sea city, and Yanfan Biling recalls Penglai. One day, the silver bamboo invades the bamboo threshold, and the flowers on the eight sides are covered with blue moss. After Wen, there are many mountains and rivers, and Laoyazhou wanders around.

"Longqiu Pagoda"

originally refers to a stone pagoda built in the Song Dynasty on a small sandbar on the Hanjiang River in the north of Chaozhou City. There are lush forests and elegant and quiet temples under the tower, which reflect the scenery around the car and form a wonderful and beautiful scenery. At the beginning, it was named "Tayuan Weizhou", which was named after the yacht Changxi mooring line. Because there is "Longqiu Spring" by the tower, it is also called "Longqiu Pagoda". Once upon a time, watching this scene, we can see that the ancient pagoda stands in the middle of the river, far away from the Yixi River, and the river surrounds the small continent. If you climb the tower and look ahead, you can see that Xiangqiao, like Changhong, crosses the river, followed by the Phoenix Mountain, which is high in the clouds, the downtown area with smoke curling on the right, and a vast green countryside on the left. When you enter the temple, you will see monks burning incense and worshipping Buddha, ringing bells and playing drums, which has a unique flavor. At night, yachts are like shuttles, and they stay up all night. Whenever there is a moonlit night, tourists or boaters will drink tea to express their feelings. Or lying on your back in the boat, silently counting the stars all over the sky, listening to the gurgling water or lifting the curtain to watch the waves floating on the river, it is really leisurely and enjoyable. As Zheng Lanzhi described: The ancient pagoda is towering over the head of the crocodile, and the courtyard is full of boats. The sail hides the lights and shadows in the middle of the night, and the cable bells travel for five nights. It may be windy when you stop, but you love the waves when you open the window. At the distance of several floors of the ramp, a picture of Jiangcheng shows autumn. Unfortunately, the pagoda collapsed in the Qing dynasty, and the temple was deserted. The remaining tower foundation was later washed away by the flood, and Xiaozhou was blown up because of the renovation of Hansha, leaving only underwater residues. Now, instead of this scene, there is the scenery of "Phoenix Tower". The "Phoenix Tower" was built by Guo Zizhang, the magistrate, during the Wanli period (1581-1585). The tower is opposite to the Phoenix Mountain and is named after the Phoenix Terrace across the river. There is a north stream on the right side of the tower, which often dries up during drought, so it is called "Dry Stream", and the Phoenix Tower is also called "Dry Stream Tower" for this reason. The tower is thirteen feet high, with a base of fourteen feet and four feet, seven floors and eight sides, and is of masonry structure. The tower was built on the south side of Hanjiang River in Chaozhou, just as two rivers were about to rush, like a dike to protect the villages behind the tower. Sunset afterglow or rising sun, water moving, golden light flashing, is very wonderful; Whenever the autumn is crisp, the river is calm, the blue waves are like mirrors, Shui Ying is reflected, and the ancient pagoda is like a giant column, which is spectacular. Climb to the top of the tower along the escalator in the tower, overlooking the beautiful scenery in all directions, and the natural features of the ancient city protected by three mountains and one water can be seen at a glance.

"Crocodile Crossing the Autumn Wind"

There is an ancient ferry called Crocodile Crossing in the middle section of the Hanjiang River north dike outside Chaozhou. In ancient times, crocodiles plagued Chaozhou, so Hanjiang originally called it crocodile creek (evil creek). According to legend, Han Yu, assistant minister of punishments in the 14th year of Yuanhe in Tang Xianzong (819), heard that crocodiles were infested and endangered people's lives and property, so he set up an altar at the ferry on April 24th, 2118, "I wish it with a pig, a sheep and a pond in a bad stream", so the hipsters called the ferry crocodile crossing. This is the widest river in the upper reaches of Hanjiang River. Every autumn, the scenery here is the most charming: the blue clear sky reflects the white clouds, the autumn wind wrinkles the calm river, the burly and straight kapok trees rustle on the embankment, and the yellow leaves that fall intermittently slowly float on the vast river. The boat full of white sails is drifting slowly, and anything is particularly comfortable and free. There is a poem that praises: the canoe is chasing the breeze and carrying it west to the east. People stand in clear waves, autumn waters are green, and the sunset glow in Ye Fei is red. A stream is cool and the tide is wide, and the crocodiles cross the air on both sides. Naturally, it is the beauty of offering sacrifices to the gods, and it is sung in the river today.

"West Lake Raft"

The West Lake Raft is the most poetic and intoxicating scenery in the beautiful and spectacular scenery of the West Lake, so it is named after the fish raft haunts the vast expanse of emptiness and the ever-changing lakes and waters. Every early summer, the lake overflows with stone piles, lush trees and unique pavilions, which are reflected in the mirror-like lake. The wicker on the bank is swaying with the wind, and the lotus pond in the distance exudes a fragrance. More than a dozen fishing rafts floated in the lake, throwing nets for fishing, and then moored by the lake. Fishermen exposed their nets on the rafts, drinking and laughing, and it was full of a calm and happy scene. In autumn, the scenery of the West Lake is more charming, the water is clear, the fish swim like a shuttle, the fishing rafts float in the middle of the lake, gathering and scattering, the mountains and trees reflect the bottom of the water, and the shadows move and wave. If it is light rain, the lake will be empty. Several pairs of fishing rafts are looming, throwing nets and closing nets, just like a natural color painting. When the autumn is strong, it is even more interesting to hide in the Liu Yin or fishing platform by the lake and watch the fish and fish. Zheng Lanzhi, a native of the city, touched the scene and wrote a poem: Fangtang is as clear as a mirror, and fishing rafts are not lost in the wind. A few reed flowers float clean, and the sunset lake in Bangan Mountain is low. There are thousands of frost on the heron flying over the rocky mountains, and fish weave a stream of waves and silk. It has its own fishing platform, which can send autumn scenery across the west of the city. The West Lake was dredged in the Tang Dynasty and was originally a releasing pond. It was dredged again in the Song Dynasty and turned into a lake tour. There are Hongqiao across the lake, a unique pavilion in the middle of the lake, a pavilion in the lake and a fishing village, which fully embodies the small, exquisite, elegant and simple features of southern garden architecture.

"Beige Buddha Lantern"

Beige was originally the general name of a group of pavilions at the foot of the mountain to the east of Jinshan. Here, the rushing water of the Hanjiang River in the east, the North Pavilion, the "Crocodile Crossing the Autumn Wind" on the north embankment, the "Hanci Oak" across the river, the "Xiangqiao Spring Rising" and the "Phoenix Raining" in the lower reaches of the Hanjiang River are vivid. Overlooking the Hanjiang River, the river is surging and white sails are dotted. According to legend, the Buddha's lanterns in front of the pavilion are glittering at night. Lights can be seen on the river from Luhu Lake, fifteen miles upstream of the Hanjiang River, to the emergency water tower downstream, from Nanwudong in Raoping to Fuyang in Chaozhou in the east, which is the symbol of Hanjiang's night flight. Beige Scenic Area, built in the Song Dynasty and formed in the Ming Dynasty, has been promoted and abolished in all previous dynasties, and has been completely destroyed on the eve of liberation. In the new construction period, all things are flourishing, and this long-lost scenic spot has been rebuilt. The whole scenic spot is surrounded by mountains and waters, starting from the bottom, with high and low levels and grandeur. The newly-built Xuantian Pavilion, with yellow tiles and red walls, has double eaves and upturned corners. Qin Esheng, a 98-year-old famous calligrapher, inscribed a plaque for the Xuantian Pavilion and wrote a couplet: "One river stands on the wall of Optimus Prime, and hundreds of springs fly to the ground." Rebuild the artistic statue of Emperor Zhenwu in the Pavilion. A stone Buddha lamp stands beside the pavilion. Your hillside is Hanjiang Tower, which is a two-story building. The upper part is for viewing and the lower part is for statues of Guan Yu, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang. Professor Rao Zongxi of the Chinese University of Hong Kong inscribed a plaque for the building and repeated the couplet: "Loyalty lasts forever and there is light, so why not seek daylight;" The righteousness hangs on the two, that is, this is the sky. " On the south side of Hanjiang Tower, a pavilion is built, and the couplet inscribed on the pavilion reads: "The sound of the river is low, and the sky peaks and shadows fall on the head of the city." again
