Chapter 335: West Lake
"Good poetry! What a poem, the talent of the virtuous brother is really as coquettish as it was at the beginning! ”
Li Hao doesn't need to look to know who is coming, who else can talk so lewd * except Fang Er? It was Room 2 who walked in from the outside.
"It's just that this West Lake refers to the lake outside the gate?" Li Hao woke up suddenly, and the West Lake at this time was not called the West Lake. But he came, this lake is not called West Lake, it has to be West Lake, this feels a bit like the crooked hard day lotus in later generations, it is not a red day, and it has to be hard if you don't give the day.
Now that Fang Er is here, Li Hao is not polite to him, here Fang Er is considered a local snake, let him arrange a few boats to go to the lake to go boating and picking lotus together after eating. On the one hand, Princess Gaoyang, who was originally listening to Li Hao's poems, heard that she could play again, and immediately excitedly went to find her little friend, she got up very early and was supported a lot.
Last night's dinner had a lot of delicious things that she hadn't eaten, so the food was a little supportive, of course, more importantly, I heard Li Hao say that the lotus root noodles in Hangzhou and the story I just heard said that the chicken tasted good, so I got up early and went to eat it, and it tasted really good.
Then I brought one to Li Hao, Li Hao ate a little bit, it tasted good, but he felt a little tearful after eating.
Once, in another memory, he went to Hangzhou to play. After how many circles on the edge of the West Lake, I queued up to go to a restaurant to eat Dongpo meat and called Hua chicken. I ate a piece of fat the size of a soap and a chicken the size of a pigeon, and it didn't taste very good.
When I asked the restaurant, it was directly a hard sentence "That's all, do you like to eat or not". Seeing the fat and delicious chicken in his hand now, can he not cry? What is the degradation of moral character, it can be seen from this little thing.
After dinner, Fang Er accompanied Li Hao's family to go to the West Lake by boat, it was summer, and the lotus flowers and busy lotus pickers could be seen everywhere when boating on the West Lake. Playing with Fang Er, everything is good, but it is inevitable that it is very troublesome to drink and compose poems. This guy doesn't know it himself, so he likes to listen to other people's songs. I don't know if it's influenced by Princess Dongyang over the years, but I've become more and more fond of this.
The poems in Li Hao's belly have almost been squeezed dry, and there will be no more chanting. So Li Hao tried his best to excuse himself, but he couldn't push it, so he came to the first "The water is shining and the sun is good, and the mountains are empty and rainy." If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate. ”
At this time, Princess Gaoyang interjected, saying that she felt that her Langjun seemed to be very familiar with Jiangnan, and Fang Eryi on the side patted her head and echoed that this was the case. The two of them pouted Li Hao together and chanted again, Li Hao had no choice but to come to the first "Jiangnan is good, the scenery is old, the sunrise river flowers are red, and the river is as green as blue in spring, can you remember Jiangnan?" ”
Groan, chant again, it's really gone, let's look at the scenery. Li Hao is thinking about the comparison between the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in his impression and the current West Lake, which is related to the transformation of the West Lake in the future.
There are ten views of West Lake, and the name of the ten views of West Lake comes from the landscape paintings of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhu Mu of the Southern Song Dynasty "Fang Yu Shenglan" and Wu Zimu's "Dream Lianglu" are recorded, and the literati poems at that time are also mentioned a lot. The ten scenic spots are all close to the West Lake or in the lake, the first ten scenic spots are the autumn moon of Pinghu Lake, the spring dawn of the Su Causeway, the remnant snow of the broken bridge, the sunset of Leifeng, the evening bell of Nanping, the wind and lotus of the Quyuan, the fish watching in the flower port, the oriole in the willow waves, the moon in the three pools, and the clouds in the two peaks.
West Lake is the main ornamental freshwater lake in China, and it is also the first batch of national key scenic spots in China in later generations. The West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with an area of about 6.39 square kilometers, a width of about 2.8 kilometers from east to west, a length of about 3.2 kilometers from north to south, and a circumference of nearly 15 kilometers around the lake.
The lake is separated by Gushan, Bai Dike, Su Di and Yanggong Dike, according to the size of the area, there are five water surfaces such as Waixi Lake, Xili Lake, Beili Lake, Xiaonan Lake and Yue Lake, Su Dike and Bai Dike cross the lake surface, Xiaoyingzhou, Huxin Pavilion and Ruan Gongdun three small islands stand in the middle of Waixi Lake, and the Leifeng Pagoda of Xizhao Mountain and the Baochu Pagoda of Baobao Mountain reflect each other across the lake, thus forming the basic pattern of "one mountain, two towers, three islands, three embankments and five lakes".
Now, during the Tang Dynasty, the area of the West Lake was about 10.8 square kilometers, nearly double the area of the lake in later generations. The west and south of the lake are deep to the foot of the West Mountain, and the northeast extends to the Wulin Gate area, and pilgrims can raft to the foot of the mountain and then walk up the mountain to worship the Buddha.
Due to the lack of water conservancy at this time, the West Lake was sometimes flooded by heavy rains, and sometimes dried up due to prolonged drought. Until October of the second year of Changqing, Bai Juyi served as the assassin of Hangzhou. During his tenure, Bai built water conservancy, expanded stone culverts, dredged the West Lake, built dams and sluices, increased the water capacity of the lake, and solved the irrigation problem of farmland from Qiantang to Yanguanjian.
The embankment built by Bai Juyi is near the stone culvert bridge outside the Qiantang Gate, which is called Baigong Dike, which is not the white embankment of modern times. Bai repaired the embankment outside the Qiantang Gate, built a stone culvert gate, stored the lake water, and also wrote the "Qiantang Lake Gate Record" engraved on the stone tablet, indicating the function of the embankment, as well as the method of storing and discharging water and protecting the embankment.
In later generations, the ruins of Baigong Causeway have long been gone, but later generations have borrowed Baigong to remember Baigong. Lao Bai not only left behind water conservancy projects that benefited future generations, but also wrote a large number of poems about the West Lake. The most famous works are "Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake", "Spring Theme on the Lake" and "Remembering Jiangnan", and now Li Hao has taken out several songs.
The era that had the greatest influence on West Lake in history was the Wu Yue Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty, which were extremely prominent in the history of Hangzhou's development. It was during these two dynasties that the comprehensive development of West Lake and its basic finalization were finalized. Entering the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Wu Yue Kingdom took Hangzhou as its capital, promoted transportation with coastal areas, and traded with Japan, Korea and other countries.
At the same time, because the kings of Wuyue Kingdom worshiped Buddhism, built a large number of temples, pagodas, prayer buildings and grottoes around the West Lake, expanded Lingyin Temple, created Zhaoqing Temple, Jingci Temple, Li'an Temple, Liutong Temple and Taoguang Nunnery, etc., built Baochu Pagoda, Liuhe Pagoda, Leifeng Pagoda and White Pagoda, and was called the Buddha country for a while.
Lingyin Temple, Tianzhu and other temples and the Qiantang River tide view were tourist attractions at that time. Due to the geological reasons of the West Lake, the silt accumulation speed is fast, and the dredging of the West Lake has become a daily maintenance work, so the king of Wuyue Qian Biao placed thousands of soldiers in the lake in the second year of Baozheng, and dredged the spring with grass to ensure the existence of the water body of the West Lake.
In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the famous poet Su Shi also made great contributions to the governance of the West Lake. From the Five Dynasties to the late Northern Song Dynasty, the West Lake was incurable for many years, and the obliteration of the grass occupied half of the lake's surface. In the fifth year of Yuan You, Su Shi wrote "Begging to Open the West Lake of Hangzhou" to Song Zhezong, asserting: "Hangzhou has West Lake, just like people have eyebrows, and the cover cannot be abolished." ”
In April of the same year, Lao Su mobilized 200,000 migrant workers to dredge the West Lake, and used the dug grass and silt to build a long causeway of 2.8 kilometers across the lake from south to north, and built six stone arch bridges on the embankment. In order to commemorate him, later generations called this causeway "Su Causeway".
According to legend, Hangzhou's famous dish "Dongpo meat" is the delicacy of Su Dongpo to reward dredging migrant workers. Like Bai Juyi, the great poet Su Shi also left many poems in Hangzhou, the most famous of which are "Drinking the Lake After the First Sunny Rain" and "Wanghulou Drunken Book".
And Li Hao is going to plan the West Lake, so that the ten views of the West Lake can be displayed, which is based on the model of Bai Juyi and Su Shi's governance of the West Lake, and will also make a series of changes to the entire Hangzhou. The source of drinking water and fresh water in Hangzhou City is very inconvenient, so Li Hao plans to imitate the practice of the Tang Dynasty in the future and lead the water of West Lake into the city.
There are some other problems, as long as these problems are solved, Hangzhou will have an explosive development. As an emerging city, Li Hao's ideas can be better developed here, and then influence the world and change the direction of the country.
This country is now a strong and prosperous country, but there are also many drawbacks that restrict the greater development of this country, and perhaps if you don't pay attention to it, you will go back to the old way. This Li Hao has a deep understanding that it is very difficult for Li Hao to implement his own ideas in Chang'an.
Because there are a large number of old nobles of the family gathered there, although they have improved a lot after Li Er and Li Ke's two cleanups, there are still a lot of these people. If Li Hao's ideas are fully implemented, it will seriously infringe on their interests and bring a serious backlash, so they can only rely on influencing the people around them to change slowly, but that time is too slow.
Li Hao still feels that his previous way is good, as long as most of the people in the world where he has stayed can accept his own views and train some young people to come out, even if there is no self in the future, this Datang will still be able to develop in the direction that Li Hao wants.
So before Li Hao was ready to come here, he began to lay out here. The academy is indispensable, and its own students are not missing from sending some people over. These are the people who are suitable for their own use, and they rely on them to help them do their own things.
Li Hao plans to deal with the affairs of Hangzhou Mansion and then go back to Chang'an to be his own sacrificial wine. Compared with doing things alone, cultivating more people to accept their own ideas to do things by yourself is not only easier, but also more things can be done.
Li Hao's plan is to develop the triangular economy around Hangzhou Prefecture, Guangzhou Prefecture and Dongting Lake, and then drive the great changes in the entire south of the Yangtze River to produce a completely economically prosperous region. It will take a long time for this plan to be fully implemented, but fortunately, Fang Er has completely laid the foundation in the past few years, and has achieved good results.
Li Hao just needs to add another fire on this basis, and the West Lake and Hangzhou in front of him are an opportunity. And before that, he has to clean up the mess on this side of Gangnam Province, otherwise it is difficult to say whether there will be a riot, in the original history, there will be a riot here in a few years.
