Located on the north side of Xihu Avenue in Leizhou City, opposite to Lei Hu Scenic Area. The lake covers an area of more than 3300 square meters.

In the fourth year of Song Shaosheng (1 097), Su Shi passed through here. Today, Leizhou West Lake Park has been built, including Sugongting, Laijingquan and other places of interest.

Introduction to the landscape of Leizhou West Lake Leizhou West Lake is a garden-like garden with beautiful scenery and rich humanistic and natural scenery. It is not only unique in the south, but also like listening to a ups and downs of Leizhou historical story. "Lake": Before the Song Dynasty, the West Lake was a "wild water" filled with smoke, a "reservoir" for water conservancy projects in the suburbs of the Song Dynasty, which transported nectar to the vast tidal fields in the East and was also a tourist attraction in ancient Leizhou, leaving many literati footprints.

It was called "Lei Hu" in ancient times. At that time, its water storage area was about five or six times that of the West Lake now. With the change of environment, there has been a repeated process from lake to field and from field to lake. Before the Song Dynasty, there were only Tianning Temple and clear water by the lake. During the period of Song Xianchun, there were eight pavilions on the lakeside, such as Hengzhou, Gull, Zhuofei, Fangsheng, Zong Yi, Duzhou Liushui, Meizhoumei and Splash, and two bridges, Huijidong and Xihu, were built on the south embankment.

Since then, Su Gong Pavilion and its renamed mass pavilions, Fang Xin Pavilion and Hu Xin Pavilion have appeared. From the elegant and meaningful names of these pavilions, we can trace back to the scenery of the lake in those days.

A picture of waves rolling, pavilions reflecting, birds singing and diving, and flat boats splashing is displayed in front of us. Since the brothers Su Shi, a great writer, got drunk here, Luohu was renamed West Lake.

From Luohu to West Lake, after a thousand years of mulberry, it is new and declining. It was once listed as one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Leizhou with the green West Lake.

At that time, the lake was connected with Tianning Temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of the magnificent scenery that the ancient temple has won the reputation of "the first mountain in the world". Yuan Wei, a scholar in Ming Dynasty and a Nanwei in Haibei, made a detailed observation on the scenery of the West Lake. He wrote eight poems about lakes, dikes, pavilions, boats, fields, fish, the moon and rain. Among them, the poem "West Lake Pavilion" describes it like this: "The lake is flowing and the pavilion is skillfully built.

In the blue sky, seven stars fell clearly. Four windows receive beautiful scenery, and high trees cover the sparse power.

Think about it for a while and try to throw as far as possible. There are many places of interest in Leizhou West Lake, including the Ten Immortals Temple, Yuan Jun Academy, Guan Gong Temple and Su Gong Pavilion.

The landscape of the Ten Immortals Hall is introduced into the Song Garden, and a large stone carving "Leizhou Ten Immortals Hall" can be seen on the right, which is the former site of the Ten Immortals in the Song Dynasty. Founded in the tenth year of Song Xianchun (1274).

Entering the cave, there is also a smaller stone carving of the Ten Immortals Hall, which is a precious cultural relic that has survived many wars. The inscription was written by Wen Tianxiang, the famous prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, with tears in his eyes. The manuscript is collected in the high place behind Qin Guan, one of the "Ten Sages". It was not until more than 500 years later, in the ninth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18O4), that Guangdong learned that there were many places of interest in Leizhou West Lake. The famous temples are: Ten Immortals Temple, Yuan Jun Academy, Kougong Temple and Su Gong Pavilion.

The landscape of the Ten Immortals Hall is introduced into the Song Garden, and a large stone carving "Leizhou Ten Immortals Hall" can be seen on the right, which is the former site of the Ten Immortals in the Song Dynasty. Founded in the tenth year of Song Xianchun (1274).

Entering the cave, there is also a smaller stone carving of the Ten Immortals Hall, which is a precious cultural relic that has survived many wars. The inscription was written by Wen Tianxiang, the famous prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, with tears in his eyes. The manuscript is collected in the high place behind Qin Guan, one of the "Ten Sages". It was not until more than 500 years later in the 9th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty 18O4 that Yao Wentian, the champion of Guangdong Province, wrote the stone carving. People stole this inscription as a companion piece of Song Zhengqi. Gu Lei County is located in a desolate place in the south. There were many officials and guests who were demoted in ancient times, and only seven prime ministers were demoted.

The imperial court sent these dissidents to this wild land, which was not only a political punishment, but also an insult to personality. Of course, among abandoned children, there are also loyalty, goodness and evil.

Ten Sages "Ten Sages" can be described as the representative figures of "Sages". They are noble, upright, knowledgeable and outstanding in political achievements, not those who think they are great and stoop for five buckets of rice. Listing them as "Ten Sages" reflects the wishes of Leizhou people.

The ten saints are: Kou Zhun, Li Gang and Zhao Ding. As prime ministers, they are the assistant to the emperor, the commanding minister and the chief executive in charge of state affairs. -Li Guang, demoted to participate in politics before. This position is the deputy of the Prime Minister and is called "Feng Zhi" together with the Prime Minister.

—— Wang Yanbi, envoy of the Tang Dynasty, adviser to the emperor and master of central secrets. -Su Shi, bachelor of Hanlin, known as "the inner phase".

-Su Zhe, assistant minister under the door, confidant of the imperial court, and adviser to the emperor. -Ren, Ren, belongs to-Ren, Ren, belongs to the admonition officer.

-Qin Guan, Ren, in charge of important books and periodicals of the imperial court. -Hu Quan, editor, editor of National History, Records and Documents.

In Wen Tianxiang's inscription for Tang Ji, Ding Wei and Zhang Chun, who were demoted to Leizhou at the same time as the ten sages, were named and blamed. Although he is also a high official and prime minister, his character is treacherous and evil, which is spurned by Leizhou people.

There are thirty-six West Lakes in the world, and Leizhou West Lake was called "Luohu" in ancient times. In May, the fourth year of Song Zhe Zongshaosheng (1097), Su Shi, a great writer, was banished from Huizhou to Danzhou, where he lived with his younger brother Su Zhe (living in Leizhou) and loved its beautiful scenery.

Ren Lei is a saint, and it was only when Luohu became the "West Lake". Before 1950, due to the insufficient repair of the lake pavilion, the temple was decadent, with cows lying in the grass and few tourists.

In the early years of the People's Republic of China, Su Ting repaired it, but the rest were not. 1in the spring of 984, county leaders attached importance to places of interest and allocated special funds for major projects.

A year later, the pavilions were completely new and named "Leizhou West Lake Park". Receive millions of tourists every year.

The park covers an area of 100 mu, including Sugong Pavilion, Kougong Pavilion, Diaoyutai Pavilion, Maoting Pavilion, Lotus Pond, Frog Island, Waterfalls and Plastic Stone. Elegant and simple, quite rich in southern customs.

At the same time, people can trace back to Yuan Jun Academy, the highest institution of learning in ancient Leizhou. It is the title of "integration into one" with Kouci.

Before the Song Dynasty, Leizhou had "a school in the middle and a school room in the alley", but it was not until the reign of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty that academies were set up. Yuan Jun College was founded.

Second, the folk customs of West Lake are different.

Zhanjiang, located in the south of China, has formed a folk custom in the long historical development process, which is obviously influenced by the folk custom of the Central Plains and has strong local characteristics. Like other parts of the country, the Spring Festival is the most grand and rich traditional festival among the people, but the Spring Festival in Zhanjiang also has local characteristics.

Generally speaking, it takes about one month from the preparation to the end of the Spring Festival in rural areas, starting from the middle of December of the lunar calendar, including decorating houses, purchasing furniture, purchasing new clothes and purchasing various new year's goods. New year's goods include cane sugar, glutinous rice, New Year pictures, couplets, candy, biscuits and firecrackers. Most of the money earned in one year is used for the New Year.

On the 29th or 30th of 2008, the most lively scenes were killing pigs, catching fish in ponds, catching New Year's Eve, and sending out men, women and children together. In the evening, every household posts "Year Red", which includes both New Year pictures and traditional "door gods". Most of the couplets are related to wealth, while the families of military martyrs post couplets issued by the civil affairs department at the gate, while the kitchens, pigs and chicken stalls post "Eat Enough" and "Six Livestock Flourish".

After the reunion dinner, it is lucky money. 12: 00, every household set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

On the first day of New Year's Day, three taboos are popular in rural areas: no killing, no pouring water and no sweeping the floor. Some rural areas are still accustomed to fasting. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I began to visit relatives and friends. You come, I'll leave.

During this period, most villages and towns had lion dances, wandering spirits, floating colors, performing big dramas, martial arts performances and ball games, and various folk activities lasted for more than half a month. Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, is the most distinctive traditional folk festival in the local area.

Lantern Festival has a long history. In ancient times, Leizhou celebrated the Lantern Festival as grand as an imperial ceremony. The traditional Lantern Festival is mainly about wandering gods, but now it is much richer in content.

Generally speaking, the village began to make preparations for beating gongs and drums at the beginning of the month, with January 15th being the most lively, and some areas extending to the 16th and 17th, all centered on the county seat, and the whole activity was very lively. As for Lantern Festival activities, the Suixi County Chronicle compiled during Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty records: "In the Yuan Dynasty, lanterns were decorated, lion dances were like zaju games, fire trees were made, fireworks were set off, swings were played, and scholars enjoyed a tour in solve riddles on the lanterns."

The Marriage in the East China Sea by Yuanxiao Gray, which was popular in Suixi in the 1920s, said: "Tourists look from the slope" and "a hundred eyes look at Zhang Dou"; Another Gray said, "The golden hairpin always falls on her head, which really makes the Lantern Festival lively.". It can be seen that in addition to wandering, there are also games for watching people and entertainment.

In the Qing Dynasty, Wu Chuan, a juren in Wuchuan, had a famous saying, "The scene of the Lantern Festival is just clear and harmonious, and the girl is like a cloud crossing the team." At present, all counties in Zhanjiang have activities to celebrate the Lantern Festival, mainly in county towns and ancient towns, with wuchuan city being the largest, and Leizhou County, Lianjiang County and Anpu Town also having their own characteristics.

There are small-scale activities such as setting off fireworks, setting off firecrackers, lighting lanterns and doing big plays in rural areas. Lantern shows and other activities are also held in urban areas.

During the Qingming Festival, the scenery is clear, which is a traditional festival for people to "chase the distance". Grave sweeping in this city is the same in both urban and rural areas. Most of them are concentrated in Tomb-Sweeping Day, and some are around Tomb-Sweeping Day.

In folk sacrificial activities, the main sacrifices are roast pigs, fat geese, rice balls, duck eggs, crabs and cakes. During his stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, organs, organizations and schools also concentrated on sweeping graves, laying wreaths to the martyrs and remembering them.

Dragon Boat Festival, that is, the fifth day of May, is generally regarded by local people as a festival to "drive away evil spirits and kill evil spirits". From the first day of junior high school, most rural people put moxa sticks on their doorsteps to ward off evil spirits. By the fifth day of junior high school, some people hung incense symbols (symbols made of flowers wrapped in spices in triangles or animal shapes) on their children's chests.

In the city, since the first day of junior high school, mugwort leaves and herbs have been sold in the streets, and citizens are scrambling to buy doors to boil water for a bath. Bathing is usually arranged at 12. It is said that bathing with wormwood syrup can wash away evil spirits and skin diseases.

On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, zongzi is widely eaten everywhere, and kite performances or dragon boat races are held in some areas. This activity is related to the memory of Qu Yuan. The most distinctive activity of Dragon Boat Festival is Anpu in Lianjiang Ancient Town.

The town holds a grand dragon boat race every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, which has a long history and is enduring. Especially in recent years, the scale of the event is more grand and the content is richer. Tourists are not only from this town and county, but also many foreign tourists, which are very lively.

Mid-Autumn Festival is also a grand traditional festival. In cities, the main contents are as follows: first, from the first half of the festival, a large-scale moon cake exhibition will be held, and residents will buy and give each other, with moon cakes from provinces and Hong Kong as precious; 2. Moon-watching activities on Mid-Autumn Festival night are mainly held in major parks or amusement places in the city. Most residents flock to various activity places, or three or five young people, or the whole family barbecues and eats moon cakes to enjoy the moon, while children play with small lanterns in fashion and stay up all night.

In rural areas, villagers eat moon cakes, sweet potatoes, taro and bean candy. Some young women play "floating needles" under the moon, put a bowl of clear water on the table of the Eight Immortals, gently put a new needle on the water, observe the ups and downs of the needle and predict marriage. Double Ninth Festival, which is popular in some areas of this city on September 9th, is a festival for literati, especially in Wuchuan and Leizhou.

Once upon a time, scholars from the two places got together and were very interested in this festival. "Leizhou County Records" contains: "Chongyang ascends the mountain, which is a day to collect medicine and make wine songs."

Leizhou West Lake, Sanyuan Tower and Meilong Denggao Slope are the main venues for activities. The Double Ninth Festival in Lumei Town, also known as the Poetry Festival, was donated by businessmen. Preparations began in May, and the literati introduced a teacher to write a topic. Participants write poems according to the topic, and August poems are collected and evaluated by teachers. On the first day of September, people from all walks of life and cultural circles sent representatives to the label factory on Gaodengpo to build elegant and exquisite bamboo houses on the slope and post poems, which was called "Poetry Club Factory".

At that time, lanterns were decorated, lions were played, and scholars climbed high to drink and write poems, which were watched by tens of thousands of people in a few days. This activity lasted for 200-300 years and was suspended after liberation.

1985 After the establishment of Wuchuan Branch of Zhanjiang Poetry Society, this activity resumed, and poets enjoyed chrysanthemums and drank wine to write poems. The wind of climbing mountains in Leizhou City is also flourishing. Teachers, students and tourists from all walks of life have visited Sanyuan Tower and Leizhou West Lake to show their pride.

On this day, urban areas and counties organize the elderly to carry out cultural and sports activities.

3. Leizhou West Lake Tour Guide Leizhou West Lake Park, formerly known as Luohu, is located in the northwest corner of Leizhou Ancient City, covering an area of more than 90,000 square meters. From the first year of Song Ganxing (AD 1022), Kou Zhun relegated Leizhou to join the army and lived by the lake. Later, many celebrities came here to visit, thus becoming a scenic spot. In the fourth year of Song Zhe (1097), Su Shi was banished from Huizhou to Danzhou, and he lived alone with his younger brother Su Zhe on the lake, lingering. Leizhou manually recorded the traces of sages, only when Luohu was called "West Lake".

Leizhou West Lake Park is a garden-style comprehensive park with beautiful scenery and rich humanities, which integrates natural scenery, historical sites and various amusement projects. People can not only witness the unique scenery in the south, but also listen to a ups and downs of Leizhou historical story.

4. The West Lake Historical Zhongshan Park was originally the royal garden of the Qing Dynasty, 1927. In memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, this park was named "Zhongshan Park".

When the park enters the door, there are two big characters "Lonely Mountain" on the stone steps, among which there are no solitary characters. People guess it means "lonely mountain is not lonely". He Fangting, located in the northeast corner of Gushan Mountain, was built to commemorate Lin Bu, who was famous as a "wife crane" in Song Dynasty.

Zhejiang Provincial Museum is located at the southern foot of Gushan Mountain, with a collection of 65,438+10,000 cultural relics. Since 2004 1 free to the public. Wen Lan Pavilion is located in the northwest corner of Zhejiang Museum. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt to store the Sikuquanshu, imitating the format of the Wen Yuan Pavilion in the Forbidden City.

Xiling Printing Society was founded at the southern foot of 1904 Gushan, named after Xiling Bridge. It is a famous stone carving, calligraphy and painting art group in modern China. There is also the Hang Cheng time-honored hotel "Louwailou" on the island, which is famous for cooking "West Lake Vinegar Fish" with grass carp caught alive in the West Lake.

Bai Causeway starts from the broken bridge in the east, passes by the Golden Belt Bridge in the west, and meets the Gushan at the "Autumn Moon in Pinghu", which is about 1km long. It was called Baishadi and Sandi in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also called Gushan Road and Shijintang in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

In ancient times, Bai Causeway paved the ground with white sand, then changed to asphalt pavement, and planted green peaches and willows on both sides, which is the best viewing spot to enjoy the panoramic view of the West Lake and surrounding mountains. The Broken Bridge (see "Broken Bridge Canxue" for details) is located in the east of Bai Causeway. In the folk story Legend of the White Snake, Broken Bridge is the place where White Snake and Xu Xian meet, so it is the most famous bridge in the West Lake.

The Golden Belt Bridge is located on the west side of the broken bridge, also known as Hanbi Bridge. Qing Yongzheng's Record of the West Lake Volume 8: "The old wooden frame of the Golden Belt Bridge is a beam, and the Emperor Saint Zuren (referring to Emperor Kangxi) is near the lonely mountain, and the royal ship turns to Lihu Lake."

It was rebuilt in the third year of the Republic of China (19 14). 192 1 year, cement concrete arch coupons were added while the bridge was broken.

The existing bridge is a stone arch bridge, with a length of 8. 1 m, a width of 8.6 m and a clear distance of 5.9 m. Su Causeway, formerly known as Su Gongdi, starts from Nanshan Road at the foot of Nanping Mountain in the south and reaches Yuewang Temple East in the north, crossing the lake. The dike is 2797 meters long and 30~40 meters wide.

There are six stone arch bridges in Su Causeway, from south to north: Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Dike, Dongpu (according to research, it is suspected that it is the fault of Pu Shu) and Duhong. Xian Chun's Lin 'an Annals in the Southern Song Dynasty (Volume 33): "Now, Jun Lake was opened on Dongpo, and a long dike was built due to grass accumulation. From south to north, it crossed the lake for several miles, with flowers and willows planted in the middle and six bridges in the middle, which was destroyed by walkers ... In the next ten years, Lv Huiqing was the county commander.

In the fifth year of Xianchun, the court gave money to the minister, saying that friends should be increased. ..... Twenty feet high, 750 feet wide and 60 feet wide, there are nine old pavilions and nine new pavilions, and hundreds of flowers and trees are still planted. "

"A Brief Introduction to Lake and Mountain in Qing Dynasty" Volume III: "In the second year of Yongzheng, the Zhouchao and Baisha Dike were built at the same time, and flowers and trees were planted in five years." "New Records of the West Lake" Volume 4: "Today, mulberry plants, the so-called Su Causeway willow, have been cut down."

1950 The dike body is raised and widened, and a trail along the lake is built with seats. The bridge between the White Snake and Xu Xian, a beautiful fairy tale, is located at the beginning of Bai Causeway.

The name "Broken Bridge" comes from the Tang Dynasty. There are doors and eaves on ancient bridges. When it snows, the snow in the middle section is on the eaves at the door, and only the two ends of the bridge are covered with snow. Seen from a distance, this bridge seems to be broken, so it is called "broken bridge". There are pavilions on the bridge, facing Lixi Lake, facing the Baoshi Mountain and the book tower opposite the lake. The mountains, towers, lakes, pavilions, bridges, peaches and willows by the lake constitute picturesque scenery, which is very charming.

Broken bridge is the only way to lonely mountain. Whenever it snows, people go to the broken bridge to enjoy the snow scene of the West Lake. The lonely mountain and Lixihu Lake are wrapped in silver, which is particularly touching, because it is called "Broken Bridge and Broken Snow". Zhou Xiaoying, Hu Xinting and Ruan Gongdun Santan silver moon Scenic Area are located in the southwest waters of Waixi Lake, including Zhou Xiaoying and three gourd-shaped stone pagodas on its south side, which are famous for enjoying the moon and water gardens.

The whole island covers an area of about 7 hectares, and the water surface accounts for 60%. Zhou Xiaoying, Zhou Xiaoying was formerly known as Baoning Temple in Shui Xin, also known as Hu Xin Temple. It was a beautiful place to enjoy the moon on the lake in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its garden architecture and landscape layout were basically formed in the early18th century.

In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, Qiantang made Nie Xintang appear on the water conservancy road, built ridges around the beach, and became a lake in the lake, thinking it was a place of release. In 39 years, Yang Wanli continued to build the outer ridge, and in 48 years, the regulation was perfect. "

Seen from the air, the whole island is like a huge Tian Zi, which constitutes the spectacle of "there is an island in the lake and a lake in the island". Zhou Xiaoying is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The main attractions are Zhejiang Pantheon, Jiuqu Bridge, Nine Lions Stone, Wang Kaiting, Tingting, Bamboo Trail leading to a secluded spot and our soul mate pavilion.

The Three Pagodas on the Lake were built in the fifth year of Yuan You in the Northern Song Dynasty (1090), but according to the documents in the early Qing Dynasty, the Three Pagodas were built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The top of Shisan Tower is gourd-shaped, the tower body is spherical, 2 meters above the water surface, and it is hollow. Five small round holes are evenly distributed around the tower body, and the tower foundation is an oblate stone pedestal.

The three towers are distributed in an equilateral triangle, and each side is 62 meters long. Hu Xin Pavilion Hu Xin Pavilion is located in the center of West Lake.

Records of the west lake in Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty, Volume 9: "The pavilion is in the middle of the whole lake. There are three pagodas outside the ancient temple in the middle of the lake. During the reign of Xiaozong in the Ming Dynasty, temples and pagodas were destroyed. Nie Xintang's "County Records" said: There are three pagodas outside Hu Xin Temple, of which the South Pagoda is abandoned, and it is the North Pagoda Infrastructure Pavilion named Hu Xinting.

Rebuild Desheng Temple at the base of the old temple and release it. Accordingly, the old Hu Xin Temple is today's release pond, and today's Hu Xinting is the base of the three pagodas. "

Sketch of Lakes and Mountains Volume III: In the Ming Dynasty, "Xu Ting rebuilt nude according to the four-year investigation in Wanli, which was called" too empty ". Li Jian Sun Long is surrounded by stones and pavilions, but they are collectively called' the pavilion in the middle of the lake'. The state has invested heavily in renovation, and the left and right wings are carved with railings, and the floor is above ... "

In the twenty-seventh year of Qing Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong wrote the book "Bright and Clean Edge". After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the former site of Xiqing Pavilion was converted into the Temple of Wealth and Guanyin Hall.

1980, the island was engraved with the stone tablet "Insect" (the middle part of the traditional Chinese word "wind"), which means "boundless wind and moon". Ruan Gongdun Ruan Gongdun is located in the west of West Lake, and the pavilion is in the middle of the lake.

In the fifth year of Jiaqing (1800), when Ruan Yuan, the governor of Zhejiang, dredged the West Lake, he piled up dredged silt into islands, commonly known as "soft beaches". The island is 34 meters long from north to south and 33 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of 0.57 hectares. For a long time, there are no buildings on the island, and the trees are overgrown with weeds, which has become the habitat of migratory birds.

When the West Lake was dredged from 1952 to 1958, riprap was added around the island, and the area was slightly widened. 1977 Embankment was built around the island, which expanded the area again and filled with foreign soil.

198 1 year, more than 1000 tons of soil was added to the island, and a "small building with a green garden" was built. There are memories on the island.

Fifth, the folk customs of West Lake are different.

Zhanjiang, located in the south of China, has formed a folk custom in the long historical development process, which is obviously influenced by the folk custom of the Central Plains and has strong local characteristics. Like other parts of the country, the Spring Festival is the most grand and rich traditional festival among the people, but the Spring Festival in Zhanjiang also has local characteristics.
