Chen Ming said to Xin Ran: "Big brother, what you see in front of you is the West Lake, which is the essence of the scenery of Lin'an Mansion. ”

Xin Ran said to Chen Ming: "This West Lake, the foolish brother has heard of its name for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to play, but when I see it today, it is really extraordinary."

"In this way, today, the little brother will introduce you one by one", Chen Ming continued.

"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the jade dragon and the golden phoenix in the sky found a piece of white jade on the fairy island by the Milky Way, they pondered together for many years, the white jade became a bright pearl, where the pearl of the pearl shines, where the trees are evergreen, and the flowers are in full bloom, but then this jewel was discovered by the queen mother, the queen mother sent the heavenly soldiers and generals to snatch the pearl away, the jade dragon and the golden phoenix rushed to Suo Zhu, the queen mother refused, so there was a scramble, the queen mother's hand was loosened, the pearl landed in the world, It has become the sparkling West Lake, and the Jade Dragon and the Golden Phoenix have also descended to the earth, becoming the Jade Dragon Mountain (i.e., the Jade Emperor Mountain) and the Phoenix Mountain, which will always guard the West Lake;

This is an ancient legend, of course, it is not enough to rely on, according to the local county records, the West Lake is a lake in Qiantang County, so it is called Qiantang Lake, from the Tang Dynasty, "Qiantang" changed to "Qiantang", and because there is a lake connected with it in the north of it, the water level is lower than it, called Xiahu, so the West Lake is correspondingly called Shanghu;

In the second year of Changqing, in order to increase the water storage of the West Lake, Bai Juyi built the lake embankment, which was several feet higher than the original lake shore, which was originally the connection between the upper lake and the lower source, and the water level of the West Lake was originally higher than the lower lake. Bai Juyi's construction of the lake embankment this time is epoch-making for the development of the West Lake, because since then, the West Lake has evolved from a natural lake to an artificial lake, and the West Lake has changed its nature due to Bai Juyi's embankment, but Bai Juyi still calls this lake Qiantang Lake;

Wu Yueguo era and the West Lake was renovated, to my Northern Song Dynasty, Jingde four years, Zhizhou Wang Ji, and dredged the whole lake, built the West Lake's sluice weir equipment, Renzong period, first mobilized tens of thousands of workers, rejecting the lake in the field, carried out large-scale dredging, and then in addition to the six wells, added a new well with a large water supply, that is, the descendants called the Shen Gong Well;

In the first year of Yuanyou, Su Shi came to Hangzhou for the second time to serve as the governor of the state, and formulated a plan for dredging the West Lake, and went to the court on the "begging to open the West Lake of Hangzhou", which was the first time that the name "West Lake" was used in the official document, and the name of the West Lake gradually became known to the world, and slowly formed the ten views of the West Lake:

One of them is the spring dawn at Su Causeway, which is the first of the ten views of West Lake. Su Causeway from the foot of Nanping Mountain in the south, north to the Qixia Ridge, a total length of nearly three kilometers, when the Northern Song Dynasty family, calligrapher Su Dongpo served as the governor of Hangzhou, dredged the West Lake, and used the excavated mud to construct. In order to commemorate Su Dongpo's exploits in governing the West Lake, the descendants named him Su Causeway.

It connects the South Mountain, the North Mountain, adds a charming scenery to the West Lake, after the cold winter, like the belated spring messenger, the willow sandwich the shore, the bright peach is scorching, and the lake waves are like a mirror, reflecting the shadow, infinite tenderness. The most touching thing is the first dew of the morning light, when the moon sinks in the west mountain, the breeze blows slowly, the willow silk rolls flickering, standing on the embankment, hooking the soul;

The second is the Quyuan wind lotus, which was originally a wine-making workshop opened by the imperial court today, near the shore of the lake to breed lotus, every summer, the wind comes slowly, the lotus fragrance and the wine fragrance are fused together, which is intoxicating;

The third is that the Pinghu Autumn Moon Scenic Area is located at the west end of the White Causeway, "the moon is cold and the cold spring does not flow, where is the song to return to the boat", whenever the night is quiet, a round of bright moon shines on the sky, the artistic conception is extraordinary;

The fourth is the remnant snow of the broken bridge. The broken bridge is high and has a wide field of view, which is the best place to watch the snow scene of West Lake in winter. Whenever the snow is shining, standing on the gem mountain and looking south, the West Lake is covered in silver, and the white causeway is covered with snow willows and frost peaches. The stone arch of the broken bridge is unobstructed, and the ice and snow melt in the sun, revealing the mottled railings, while the ends of the bridge are still covered in snow. The vaguely discernible stone bridge body seems to be looming, and the snow in the culvert is shining, and the bridge deck is gray-brown to form a contrast, and it seems to be broken from a distance, so the broken bridge is named;

The fifth is the willow wave warbler, the season of fireworks in March, the willow silk flutters, the warbler sound is crisp, people can't bear to leave;

The sixth is the flower port to watch the fish, in the past, the waiter built a private garden under the Huajia Mountain, the flowers and trees in the garden are sparse, the water is drawn into the pool, and the five-colored fish are stored for viewing pleasure, and then many friends come here to enjoy, and gradually become known to the world;

Seven of them is the sunset of Leifeng, this tower was built in five dynasties, it was built by Qian Hongyue, the king of Wuyue, to celebrate the son of Huang Fei, the original name of Huang Fei Tower. Because it was built outside the Xiguan at that time, it was the brick tower of the Xiguan again. Standing on the edge of the West Lake, under the sunset, people can't help but sigh at countless vicissitudes of life;

Eight of the ten views of West Lake are twin peaks inserting clouds, its south peak is close to West Lake, the peak is 257 meters high, on the way to climb the mountain, the steep rock is exposed, and the cliff is grandiose. Climb to the top of the mountain and look down to the east, the panorama of the West Lake is vivid, not a drawing, but a drawing; The north peak is 314 above sea level, it is the mountain of Lingyin Temple, go up the mountain from the west side of the temple, the stone stone is more than thousands of levels, the coil turns back and goes around 36 bends, the mountain stream is clear and turns along the way, the forest overlaps, it is very spectacular;

Nanping evening bell is nine of the ten views of the West Lake, the Xingjiao Temple at the foot of Nanping Mountain was built in the Northern Song Dynasty Kaibao five years, it was the base camp of the Buddhist Tiantai Sect of the mountain family, Jingci Temple, Xingjiao Temple plus nearby small and medium-sized temples, forming another Buddhist temple community on the lake after Lingyin and Tianzhu, the morning bell and dusk drum, burning the shell Buddha, the cigarette candlelight, Nanping Mountain has since added the charm of the Nanping evening bell of the other name of the 'Buddha Mountain', leisurely formed. The mountains around Nanping Mountain are made of limestone, the mountain is porous, and the rock wall of the mountain peak is like a barrier, whenever the evening bell of the Buddhist temple rings, the oscillation frequency of the bell is transmitted to the mountain, the rock, the cave, etc. are forced by it, the vibration of the sound wave is accelerated, and the amplitude increases sharply to form a resonance. Rocks and caves then create a loudspeaker effect, enhancing the resonance. At the same time, the bell also flies to the sky above the West Lake at the same frequency, reaching the other side of the West Lake, and encounters the Geling and echoes composed of igneous rocks on the opposite bank.

Ten of the ten views of the West Lake are the three pools of the moon, Xiaoyingzhou and the Pavilion in the center of the lake, and Ruan Gongdun are collectively called the three islands on the lake. The whole island covers an area of about seven hectares including the water surface, and is connected by curved bridges in the north and south, and the east and west are connected by earthen embankments, and the embankments are crossed in a zigzag shape, which divides the water surface of the island into four, and the periphery of the water surface is a circular embankment. Viewed from the air, the terrain of the mainland of the island is like a large "Tian" character, showing that there are islands in the lake and lakes in the island, which is unique in the ten views of the West Lake. ”

Chen Ming led Xin Ran, while walking along these landscapes, he introduced, and when he finished talking about these ten scenes, he also happened to lead Xin Ran to complete these ten scenes.

At this time, the night was already deep, and the two stayed overnight on a cruise ship by the West Lake.
