Xisei Mountain in Huzhou, Zhejiang:

Xisei Mountain is located in Peixi Bay, Fanyanghu Village, Biannan Township, about ten kilometers southwest of Huzhou. Volume 12 of "Zhejiang Tongzhi" written by Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty states: "More than 20 miles from the south gate of Wuxing, the distant mountains between the Qingshan Mountains are Xisai Mountain. The mountains are bright and the water is beautiful, and it is really a desperate situation. It is called Xisai, Xisai Jiancheng was the place where (Chu Chunshenjun) stationed troops, so it was located west to east." This clearly explains the name of Xisai Mountain. "Huzhou City Place Names Chronicles" also records: "The old county chronicles stated that Yan Shangshu Zhenzhi's tomb was in Xisai Mountain. The Shangshu named himself Xisai Weng and was buried on the mountain. The natives still call it Xisai Mountain."

Speaking of Xisai Mountain, one must recite the "Fishing Song" by Zhang Zhihe, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "In front of Xisai Mountain, egrets fly, peach blossoms flow, mandarin fish fat, green bamboo hats, green coir raincoats, slanting wind and drizzle. Return". According to "Zhupo Ci Hua": "At that time, it was impossible to compare with "Yu Gezi", which means that there were countless people who related to this poem. The lyrics of Zhang Zhihe's "Fisher's Song" were also introduced to Japan. Emperor Saga of Japan's Heian Dynasty composed five poems with it, and the imperial daughter Prince Tomonouchi also composed two poems with it. This poem was included in Japanese textbooks together with "Mooring at Maple Bridge at Night" written by Zhang Jishu about the scenery of Hanshan Temple in Suzhou. For thousands of years, the masterpieces of these two poets surnamed Zhang in the Tang Dynasty have become eternal masterpieces depicting the unique scenery of Hu and Suzhou respectively.

Zhang Zhihe, a reclusive poet of the Tang Dynasty who vividly portrayed Xisai Mountain, was named Xuan Zhenzi and was a native of Jinhua, Wuzhou. During the reign of Emperor Suzong, he was an official in the imperial edict and was highly talented. However, he was not in tune with the times, so he left his official position and traveled around the world. In the seventh year of Dali of the Tang Dynasty (772), Yan Zhenqing became the governor of Huzhou. Nine years later, Zhihe came to visit. Your Majesty, the boat is damaged and leaking. Please replace it. Zhihe said: "I am willing to go back and forth between Taopei for the Fu family." (See "Huzhou Prefecture Chronicles" by Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty) At that time, the poet went boating day and night in the beautiful Tiaofei River area, and wrote about the beautiful scenery of this area with green mountains and clear water, misty waves, red peaches and white egrets, and fishing in the wind and rain with true feelings. Affection. The county annals record that Zhang Zhihe composed five poems in "Yu Ge Zi", among which the first one is the most famous. This poem has bright colors and meaningful artistic conception. Since then, "Mountains are conveyed by poems", and the poetic and picturesque scenery of Xisai Mountain has become a major scenic spot in Huzhou. In the "Huzhou Prefecture Chronicles" written by Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, "Late Fishing in Xisai" was listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Wuxing. Li Jie (Cishan), the governor of Piling (now Changzhou, Jiangsu Province) in the Southern Song Dynasty and a famous landscape painter, once lived in Xisai Mountain in Wuxing and wrote the "Picture Scroll of Xisai Fishing Society". He also asked his friends Fan Chengda and Zhou Bida to write and postscript . The famous poet Fan Chengda wrote a long postscript of more than 290 words in the twelfth year of Chunxi (1185). There are words such as "Waiting for the peach blossoms to grow in the water, sailing in a small boat to the west, asking the master to buy fish and wine, and leaning on the boat to sing." Da, with a handsome demeanor, won the beige god. This inscription and postscript once belonged to the collection of Zhang Daqian, a master of traditional Chinese painting, and the original is now in New York, USA.
