Starting from Qingfeng Town, Shen Ze and his entourage spent more than four days of hard work, and finally arrived at Jinan Mansion on the afternoon of the fifth day. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Jinan Mansion was Jinan County, Jinan State, Qizhou in ancient times, and Qi Prefecture was promoted to Jinan Mansion during the Northern Song Dynasty Hui Zongzheng and the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was called Jinan Mansion at the beginning. Since then, although the jurisdiction has changed, the title of Jinan Mansion has been used.

Daming Jinan Prefecture has 26 counties in four states, and the government is located in Licheng County.

Daming Jinan City rebuilt in Hongwu four years, is a brick and stone structure, the city wall circumference is 12 miles and 48 zhang, the moat "surrounds the city for a week, the pond is five zhang wide, the water depth is three feet", the river water is formed by the convergence of Eying water, Luoshui, etc. Since then, the city of Jinan has become an important city in the north.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, the third division of Shandong moved from Qingzhou Mansion to Jinan Mansion, and since then Jinan Mansion has become the capital of Shandong and the residence of the three divisions.

Jinan City is famous for its many springs, and it is called "Spring City"! Jinan Spring has many people, abundant water, and has four major spring groups of Baotu Spring, Black Tiger Spring, Wulong Pond and Pearl Spring that have been famous for a long time. Hundreds of springs in the city of Jinan are contending, and there is a saying of "seventy-two bright springs" among the scholars of Yashi. In the summer and autumn season, the springs in Jinan City are dense, and there are often the beautiful scenery of "spring water in every house, poplar in every household", "clear spring stone upstream", it is really a wonder in the north.

The city wall of Daming Jinan City incorporates Daming Lake into it, and the entire Daming Lake area accounts for nearly half of Jinan City, and Daming Lake and the surrounding Thousand Buddha Mountain, Queshan Mountain, Huashan Mountain and other scenic mountains set off each other, so Jinan has the reputation of "a city with mountains and half a city lake".

…………

Finally arrived at Jinan Mansion, Shen Ze's eldest brother Gao Yu Yaxing was very happy, and couldn't wait to take him to Daming Lake for a trip to enjoy the scenery of Daming Lake.

Because Shen Ze and they wanted to swim in the lake, although they came from the east of Jinan City, they did not enter the city from the east gate Qichuan Gate, but entered the city from the north gate of Jinan City.

The reason why you enter the city from the Huibo Gate is because the entire north of the Jinan City is the lake area of Daming Lake, and the north gate of the Jinan City is actually a water gate, and you can go straight to the Daming Lake from the moat of Jinan City.

The Gao family has a business in Jinan City, naturally there are shops, and there is also a yard to settle in, so Shen Ze and Gao Yu naturally don't need to go to the inn to settle down. At that moment, Gao Yu asked a group of Gao family guards, as well as the two families Ding Shang Nanshan and Xia Beihai newly received by Shen Ze, to enter the city from the east gate and go to the Gao family's store to settle down. He and Shen Ze only took Gao 5 people and went around to the north gate to visit the scenery of Daming Lake.

On the side of the moat outside the water gate in the north of Jinan, there are many boat owners who specialize in renting boats for their livelihood. There are many canopy boats lined up along the moat for guests to rent and swim in the lake.

If some people have higher requirements and are not satisfied with this slightly shabby canopy boat to swim in the lake, there are many more high-end carved boats and painting boats for tourists to rent.

Most of the carved boats and paintings are those Qin Lou Chu pavilions in Jinan City who come here to solicit business. These carved boat painting boats generally have those red girls from the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, and when guests rent carved boat painting boats, they will generally let these prostitutes accompany them by the way. Boating on the lake with beauty is also elegant.

Shen Ze actually really wanted to rent a painting boat from the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and take a few beauties on a boat trip to the lake! It's definitely more fun than boating on the lake with two big men.

However, Shen Ze just thought about it, his eldest brother Gao Yu didn't mean to rent this painting boat, so it was naturally not good for him to take the initiative to bring up the matter. Before going out this time, Gao Ying asked Gao Yu to be optimistic about himself, Shen Ze didn't dare to mess around, let Gao Yu grab his handle, and go back to tell Gao Ying, I am afraid that he will have to suffer a lot.

Gao Yu asked Gao Wu to rent a canopy boat, and the three of them stepped on the pedal to get on the boat docked in the moat.

The boat on the canopy boat was an old man, but although he was old, his hands and feet were very sharp and strong, and he soon drove the boat through the North Water Gate and entered Daming Lake.

…………

The old man was busy with his hands, and his mouth was not idle, chatting casually with Shen Ze.

The old man smiled heartily and said, "The two sons are from Qingzhou Mansion who came to Jinan to participate in the Autumn Festival, right?" ”

"How did my husband know?" Shen Ze and Gao Yu didn't wear shirts or scarves today, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this old man explain his origin and identity.

The old man said with a smile: "The two sons are scholars at first glance, and they came to Jinan at this time, so naturally they should have come to participate in the Xiucai Gong of the Autumn Festival." And the old man has been doing this job for more than 20 years, and there are a lot of people from all over Shandong who have been rowed by boat, and the accents of each province can distinguish one or two. Hehe, and your Qingzhou Mansion accent is already heavy, so it's naturally easy to distinguish! ”

When Shen Ze heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I see." After he came to Daming, this was really the first time he left Qingzhou Mansion, and he really didn't know that Qingzhou Mansion had a heavy accent before.

The old man smiled: "It's the first time for the two Xiucai to visit Daming Lake, right?" ”

Shen Ze smiled: "Exactly! ”

"Our Daming Lake is really big, accounting for nearly half of Jinan City, there are Lixia Pavilion, Arctic Pavilion, Huibo Building, Xiaocanglang, Jiaxuan Temple, Yuexia Pavilion, Jiuqu Pavilion, Cuiliuping, Huxin Pavilion, Beiyangzhou, Minghu Tower and so on more than 20 scenic spots! Do the two sons want to visit at will, or do they try to see all the scenic spots? If you try to see all the scenic spots, the old man can take you around one by one, and the old man can also tell you about the origin and origin of this scenic spot. Don't look at the two sons who read poetry and books, but there may not be an old man who is familiar with the history and origin of this scenic spot in Daming Lake! But if you look at it everywhere, it will definitely take more time, and the old man will definitely have to work harder to shake the oar, and the price of this boat, the son will have to add a little more! ”

Shen Ze knew that the old man was telling the truth, in fact, Shen Ze had come to Daming Lake in later generations, and he still had some understanding of this Daming Lake, and the famous places on this Daming Lake had "one pavilion, three gardens, three floors, four shrines, six islands, seven bridges, and ten pavilions" in later generations, so he said that there were more than 20 scenic spots in this Daming Lake, which was not a lie. However, the Daming Lake in this period is still very different from the later generations, and its scenery is naturally not as many as that of the later generations. Because some of the famous places of Daming Lake in later generations, many of them were built during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, although the scenery is less than the later generations, the natural wild interest is much more than the Daming Lake in the later generations, the kind of deliberately chiseled scenic spots in the later generations, the artificial traces are too heavy, but it is not as good as the natural scenery of the Daming Lake at this time.

However, Shen Ze was not interested in visiting all the scenic spots one by one. This play is very leisurely, and if you look at the attractions for the sake of seeing the attractions, this play will lose its taste.

Shen Ze listened to the words of the old man, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This lake tour must be a state of mind, and it is boring to force you to visit everywhere!" In this way, you can take us around at will, you don't have to force us to go anywhere, this rafting trip to there, you will briefly tell us about the origin and origin of this scenic spot, and then you will definitely not be indispensable to your boat money! ”

When the old man heard that Shen Ze would not lose the money for the boat, he couldn't help but agree very happily: "Oh, okay, listen to the son!" ”

Shen Ze asked Gao Yu, "Big brother, do you think this is good?" ”

Gao Yu said casually: "Very good! When Shen Ze was talking to the old man who was rocking, he had been standing on the bow of the boat and looking at the picturesque Daming Lake, and he didn't know if he heard the conversation between Shen Ze and the old man.

…………

Shen Zehao Gao Yu took a canopy boat and slowly sailed into the depths of the picturesque Daming Lake.

On the lake of Daming Lake, the kite flies and the fish jumps, the lotus is full of ponds, there is not a pleasure boat painting boat passing through, the willows on the shore are thick, the flowers are like brocade, there are visitors coming and going from time to time.

The water color of the lake surface is clear and blue, the embankment willow sandwiches the bank, the lotus and lotus are stacked and green, the thousand Buddha Mountains in the south reflect the lake, the distant mountains and near the water and the clear sky are integrated into one color, forming a natural lake and mountain color picture. There are many pavilions and pavilions in this lake, and the corridors and rockery pavilions are interspersed among them, adding many humanistic embellishments to this beautiful natural picture.

The beauty of the scenery of Daming Lake is really worthy of its name.

According to the old man who swayed the oar, there are pleasant scenery on this Daming Lake all year round. In spring, the warm wind blows on the lake, the willows sway gently, and the microwave ripples; In summer, the lotus waves in the lake are charming, green and red; In autumn, the reeds in the lake are flying, and the water birds are soaring; In winter, although the lake is temporarily lost in blue waves, it is covered in silver and is extraordinarily enchanting. Although Daming Lake is beautiful all year round, it is especially pleasant in autumn. Shen Ze and Gao Yu came to the lake at the right time when the autumn was crisp.

Shen Ze looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim: "'Lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake', this Daming Lake really deserves such a reputation!" ”

When Gao Yu heard Shen Ze's words, he couldn't help but praise: "Wen Hao's casual couplet, but he vividly said the beauty of Daming Lake, it is really an excellent portrayal of Daming Lake, it is indeed wonderful!" ”

Shen Ze couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Gao Yu's praise. Then he remembered that this couplet seemed to be the couplet of the Tiegong Ancestral Hall in Daming Lake in later generations, and it was also the best portrayal of Daming Lake and the best propaganda slogan of Daming Lake. However, this couplet has not yet been published, as if it did not exist until the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In this era, there is not even the Iron Gong Temple! After all, the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still the descendants of the Yongle Emperor, I am afraid that it is easy to overturn the case for Tie Xian, even if some people admire Tie Xian, I am afraid that they will not dare to set up a shrine for Tie Xian. After Shen Ze blurted out this couplet, he was thought to have been created by his eldest brother.

This matter is not easy to explain, Shen Ze had no choice but to accept Gao Yu's worship, and said very modestly: "Hehe, the eldest brother has said it, the younger brother has it casually, this couplet is just a general work, and the eldest brother should not praise it so much!" ”

Gao Yu smiled and said, "Wen Hao, don't be too humble. cough, big brother, I can't understand you more and more, sometimes I have to talk to you about composing poems and pairs, you always say that you can't do it, but this is often a casual little poem, a pair is a classic, it's really weird. Well, but Wen Hao's coupling is definitely a classic pair, let's find a topic, maybe it can be passed on as a good story! ”

Shen Ze smiled bitterly: "Little brother's casual work, what kind of classic is it, is it still unnecessary?!" ”

Gao Yu said with a smile: "Wen Hao doesn't have to be too modest, this couplet is definitely a classic pair to describe the scenery of Daming Lake." ”

The old man who was swaying heard that the two wanted to find a place to inscribe the poem, and immediately said on the side: "Although the old man doesn't understand much, but listening to Shen Gongzi's pair, it's really good!" Hehe, if the two sons want to inscribe poems, let's go to the Lixia Pavilion! There is a long corridor next to the Lixia Pavilion, and since ancient times, there have been many literati and writers who often write poems there! ”

Gao Yu ignored Shen Ze's modesty, and smiled at the old man who was rocking: "Then there is Lao Lao to take us to Lixia Pavilion!" ”

…………

Lixia Pavilion was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and today's Lixia Pavilion was rebuilt during the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty, when Zeng Gong was serving in Qizhou. Lixia Pavilion stands majestically on the largest island in Daming Lake. There are not only the pavilions on the island, but also the corridor of the hidden path, the rockery pavilion, and the flowers and trees are planted all over, and the scenery is very good. Because Lixia Pavilion is the most famous, so the people of the time refer to the scenery of this island in the lake with Lixia Pavilion.

The old man who swayed the oar carried Shen Ze and Gao Yu to a stoppable place next to the island in the lake, put down the board, and let the two go to the island.

Shen Ze and Gao Yu stepped on the board and boarded the island in the lake where the Lixia Pavilion is located, only to see that the whole island is surrounded by green willows, flowers and trees are sparse, pavilions and corridors are scattered, and the bamboo and flowers are dotted in the meantime, and the scenery is really elegant and extraordinary.

Standing on the island, but seeing the rippling lake around you, lotus leaves and fields, lotus flowers overflowing, and the cool breeze blowing, it is refreshing! According to the old man who swayed the oars just now, this "autumn wind" and "boating on the Ming Lake" are one of the eight scenic spots in Jinan. At this time, it is the time of high autumn air, and it is appropriate to enjoy this "autumn breeze".

In this autumn season, there are many tourists on the island in this lake. Shen Ze and his eldest brother walked on the winding path on the island and came to the Lixia Pavilion not far away.

Lixia Pavilion is located in the center of the island in the lake, eight pillars stand, red pillar green tile, bucket arch support, octagonal heavy eaves, eaves corner flying, accumulate pointed treasure top, pavilion ridge decorated with kissing beast, it is a grand view. The pavilion body is empty, there are wooden railings around the pavilion, and there are stone carved lotus tables and stools in the pavilion.

At this time, there are already a lot of people in the lower pavilion, gathered together in twos and threes, or enjoying the scenery, or chanting poems, each having their own fun.

There is a long corridor next to the Lixia Pavilion, which is the place where the inscription wall of the literati and scholars of the past dynasties is left on the wall, and it is also jokingly called the "Celebrity Gallery". This promenade has a white wall on one side and a wide lake on the other.

Shen Ze saw that there were many poems and couplets left by famous people on the inscription wall of the corridor, and famous celebrities such as Du Fu and Zeng Gong had left poems here.

The couplet that Shen Ze recited just now was not made by himself, and he didn't want to leave the title, but his eldest brother had to say that this couplet was excellent, and it must be a classic in the future, maybe it could become the business card of Daming Lake in the future, and the title was also a good opportunity to become famous here.

Shen Ze really had no interest in the literati's favorite fame, but he couldn't resist the persuasion of his eldest brother, so he had the cheekiness to inscribe the couplet on the wall.

On this wall, there are often literati and scholars who occasionally get good sentences to leave inscriptions when they visit the lake, but not everyone always carries pen and ink with them, and it is a smart vendor who sells pen and ink here.

Most of these literati who came to the inscription wall were not bad for money, and the ink was dripping after the poem, and it was not easy for this literati to take away, and finally after these small sales, they could be recycled from time to time, which was a good way to make money.

Shen Ze sold a medium-sized lake pen in the hands of a vendor carrying a bamboo basket to sell stationery supplies, and by the way, he dipped the ink cartridge in the hawker's basket and came to the front of the inscription wall. Most of the questions on the wall are left by famous artists, and Shen Ze is afraid that he will be embarrassed if he can't write well, so he is determined, so he concentrates and waves, and puts the sub-couplet on the topic. Then I added a note below and left a name!

Shen Ze had just finished this couplet, and suddenly heard a clear but slightly vicissitudes of life next to him exclaiming: "Good couplet, good words, this 'lotus flowers on all sides, willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake', it is really a coincidence, wonderful, the scenery of this Daming Lake is completely outlined, it is really wonderful!" ”
