Speaking of the origin of West Lake, there are many beautiful myths, legends and folk tales. 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, and they pondered it together for many years, and the white jade became a bright pearl. 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 the pearl, the queen mother refused, so there was a scramble, who knew that the queen mother's hand suddenly loosened, the pearl fell to the world, became the sparkling West Lake, the jade dragon and the golden phoenix also descended to the earth, became the Jade Dragon Mountain (that is, the Jade Emperor Mountain) and Phoenix Mountain, forever guarding the West Lake!

It is said that the place of this competition is one of the most famous "Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake" in West Lake. It should be said that the "Ten Views of the West Lake" was formed in the Southern Song Dynasty, basically distributed around the West Lake, and some are located on the lake: Spring Dawn at Su Causeway, Wind and Lotus in Quyuan, Autumn Moon on Pinghu Lake, Remnant Snow on the Broken Bridge, Oriole in the Willow Waves, Fish Viewing in Flower Port, Sunset on Leifeng, Twin Peaks Inserting Clouds, Nanping Evening Bell, and Three Pools Printing the Moon. The ten scenic spots of the West Lake are good at their own merits, and together they can represent the essence of the ancient West Lake.

However, this is the old "Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake" in 1985 after Hangzhou citizens and people from all over the country actively participated in the selection, and after repeated deliberation by the expert selection committee, it was determined that it was Yunqi Bamboo Trail, Manlong Guiyu, Hupao Dream Spring, Longjing Wencha, Jiuxi Smoke Tree, Wushan Tianfeng, Ruandun Huanbi, Huanglong Tucui, Jade Emperor Feiyun, and Jewel Liuxia. The new Ten Scenic Spots are characterized by their geographical scope being larger than the Old Ten Scenic Spots, most of which are located in the mountains around West Lake.

On October 20, 2007, at the opening ceremony of the West China Expo, the results of the three evaluations of the ten views of the West Lake were announced, which are: Lingyin Zen Trace, Liuhe Tingtao, Yue Tomb Qixia, Lakeside Qingyu, Qian Ancestral Hall Biaozhong, Wansong Academy, Yangdi Jingxing, Santai Yunshui, Meiwu Spring Morning, and North Street Mengxun. This is the new "Ten Views of West Lake"!

This time, the comparison is not at the "Longjing Asking for Tea", nor is it at the "Tiger Running Dream Spring", but at the "Quyuan Wind Lotus"! The Quyuan Wind Lotus is located on the west side of the West Lake, in front of Yue Fei Temple. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was an official wine-making workshop here, which took the stream water of Jinshajian to make koji wine, which was famous in China. The nearby pond is planted with water lotus, whenever the summer wind rises, the wine fragrance lotus fragrance refreshes people's hearts, because of the name "Quyuan wind lotus".

Quyuan, formerly known as Quyuan, is located in Jinsha Creek (the largest natural water source of West Lake) flowing into the West Lake, and there is a palace wine shop here in the Southern Song Dynasty, and lotus flowers are planted on the lake. The summer breeze comes slowly, the lotus fragrance and the wine fragrance are elegant, the visitors are physically and mentally refreshed, they are drunk without drinking, and the wind and lotus in the Quyuan courtyard have become one of the ten views of the West Lake.

Quyuan is the most splendid in the wind lotus scenic area, on the quiet lake, there are red lotus, white lotus, heavy Taiwan lotus, sprinkled golden lotus, and Ti lotus and other famous lotus. Lotus leaves and fields, enchanting and enchanting, clear waves shine red and blue. From the small bridge with different shapes on the water surface, walk and see, people lean on the flowers, flowers reflect the human face, people, flowers, water, sky, blend, blind date, love, pleasing to the eye, pleasing to the eye, appreciating, **. The summer breeze comes slowly, the fragrance of lotus and wine floats elegantly, and the visitors are physically and mentally refreshed, and they are drunk without drinking. When the Southern Song Dynasty painter Ma Yuan and others titled the Ten Views of West Lake, they also listed it as "one of the Ten Scenes". Later, the courtyard was depressed, and its scenery was abandoned. When Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty toured Hangzhou in the south and inscribed the names of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake, he moved this long-abandoned old scene to the side of the cross-Hongqiao of the Su Causeway, and wrote the four characters of "Quyuan Wind Lotus", and erected a monument to build a pavilion. The wind and lotus of the Quyuan Temple, with the theme of summer lotus viewing, is the second place among the ten views of the West Lake in the spring dawn of the Su Causeway. "Maiqu" courtyard was originally a brewing workshop opened by the Southern Song Dynasty court, located near the Hongchun Bridge on Lingyin Road today, close to the shore of the West Lake at that time, near the shore of the lake to breed lotus, every summer, the wind comes slowly, the lotus fragrance and the aroma of wine float around, make people not drink and get drunk. The Southern Song Dynasty poet Wang Wei praised in a poem: "The summer resorters return to the cold spring, and the clouds at the port are cool at night." The incense array of Aiqu is far away with people, and it is necessary to buy a boat on the high bridge. "Houqu Courtyard gradually decayed and fell into oblivion. After Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty tasted the ten views of the West Lake, he built the Wind Lotus Tablet Pavilion of the Quyuan Courtyard on the side of the Hongqiao across the Su Causeway. What remains is nothing more than a small courtyard with a small lotus flower on the lake in front of the courtyard.

The place where the two sides competed was the "Bamboo and Stone Pavilion" in the beautiful scenery of "Quyuan Wind Lotus", and a historic ancient pavilion. At this time, this kind of artistic conception is easy for people to have a sense of substitution, and they can feel the breath between heaven and earth. Xu Yang likes it here, he really likes it, it's much stronger than the haze that is increasing every day in the capital now.

Shimizu bamboo is also quite satisfied here, starting from the West Lake, with the introduction of the tour guide. Xu Yang saw that the eyes of this little lady of the Sun Country were blurred, if this little lady of the Sun Country was wearing a Chinese ancient shirt at this time, it would be a living fairy, but the kimono would be exempted. A robe and a "pillow" on his back! The most important thing is the small broken step that women take in the etiquette of the Sun Country. One step at a time, vomiting! Some want to vomit.

Xu Yang began to look around in the crowd, and soon saw his wife, cousin and Liu Jianing, who were forming a group to see the excitement. Xu Yang gestured at these women. The women also came back. After that, Xu Yang continued to watch the competition.

On both sides of the bamboo and stone pavilion are red lotus, white lotus, and heavy Taiwan lotus. Sprinkle golden lotus, and lotus and other famous lotus, lotus leaf field, Han Lian enchanting. Small bridges of different shapes are erected on the water surface, people cross from the bridge, such as walking in the lotus, people leaning on flowers, flowers reflect people's faces, flowers, people fall in love.

Stop and watch the beautiful scenery of "the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun". The breeze is coming, the lotus fragrance is bursting, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, and turning people into worries. Yingxun Your Excellency, there is a lotus culture exhibition room, to show people the "gentleman in the flower" out of the mud without staining the high wind and bright festival, as well as people's value orientation, aesthetic photos and moral pursuit of a variety of art and cultural masterpieces.

A lake of turquoise lotus leaves, gently swaying in the afterglow of the setting sun. The green leaves are dotted with pink and white lotus flowers. Most of the flowers are budding, like a shy girl slim. And the blooming ones are like a beautiful woman. In the afternoon, it rained a little, and the lotus leaves in the field were condensed with raindrops. Everywhere the wind passes, the raindrops and the light and shadow roll, crystal clear, sparkling, making this pool of lotus more fragrant.

The water is rippling, the cruise ships are dotted, and the mountains are empty in the distance, and the green and green are green. "After all, in the middle of June, the scenery of West Lake is not the same as the four seasons. "In the summer of the West Lake, it should be this lotus that takes the lead. The best place to enjoy lotus in Hangzhou in summer is the wind lotus in the courtyard. "Quyuan" was originally a brewing workshop opened by the Southern Song Dynasty court, located near Hongchun Bridge on Lingyin Road today, on the verge of the shore of West Lake at that time. Lotus flowers are cultivated on the shore of the lake, in summer, the gentle breeze comes, and the fragrance of lotus and wine floats everywhere, making people drunk without drinking. Houqu Courtyard gradually decayed and fell into disuse. After Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty tasted the ten views of the West Lake, he built the Wind Lotus Tablet Pavilion of the Quyuan Courtyard on the side of the Hongqiao across the Su Causeway. What remains is nothing more than a small courtyard with a small lotus flower on the lake in front of the courtyard.

Xu Yang stared at the lotus in front of him in various forms, and remembered that Mr. Song Zhou Dunyi wrote "Love Lotus Said". “...... To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilions and quiet planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed. "To live in the world is to live in the mud. How many people can not be stained with the filth of the mud, and how many people can keep the innocence of "coming out of the mud without being stained"? People yearn for the lotus to come out of the mud without being stained, but it is just a kind and loving nature. Like me, every time I look up at Guanyin Bodhisattva, sit on the lotus throne, hold a lotus flower in my hand, ethereal clouds, peaceful and serene. I thought that the lotus must mean love and tolerance. Or, a kind of detachment after a thousand tempers.

Suddenly, Xu Yang stood there motionless, and had another "epiphany"! Xu Yang's situation was immediately discovered by Su Xiaoxiao, she knew that she must have bodyguards by her side, so she immediately contacted the past, and after a while, Xu Yang's side had already changed. Replaced with a group of fresh faces, these people were mainly protected by Xu Yang in the middle. They will not let others spare their own masters. For Xu Yang, these people in the entire Xu family really admire it in their hearts, although everything Xu Yang has done since his return has been a little arrogant at times, but what he has done in the end is beyond the reach of others!

No one else noticed the situation here for a while. Everyone accompanied this Qingshui bamboo tour, and at this time, these people from the Sun Country and the Stick Country also fell into the beautiful scenery of this place. Xu has seen a lot of the literati and ink writers' lotus picking songs, wandering among the lotus lotus, there will always be a vague scene, a group of young women boating, wading through the river to pick hibiscus. And the woman must have been in a bun, wearing a green shirt, and smiling. "Pick hibiscus flowers, don't pick hibiscus leaves. He will ask his husband what color he is like a concubine. "Lang went to pick lotus flowers, and Nong went to harvest lotus seeds. Lotus seeds are in the same room with one heart, can Nong know lotus seeds?" The ancients loved to refer to beautiful women as lotuses.

Xu Yang seemed to be accommodated in these lotus flowers at this time, and with the lotus flowers, the lotus leaves swayed, and Xu Yang felt that he was a lotus flower at this time. The kind that grows out of the mud, is not polluted by the mud, and is very fragrant, and feels as if you were born in the troubles of life and death. And to exonerate from the troubles of life and death, this feeling is very transcendent, Xu Yang really doesn't know, this mysterious feeling is the "lotus hidden world" in Buddhism!

Solemn and wonderful, the lotus flower is soft and pure, sitting on it on the flower is not bad, but it can also show divine power. In fact, the lotus flower has been sublimated into the flower of the sky, which is different from the flower in the human being, "The lotus flower in the human world is not more than a foot, and the lotus flower in the sky is as big as the nine car covers, which can accommodate knots and sits."

Xu Yang felt that he was out of the mud and unstained holiness, beyond the mortal dust, the four major were empty! Flowers are dead and the roots are immortal, and the souls of people are immortal, and they are constantly reincarnated. The magic is ordinary. As if by providence, a gust of wind blew, Xu Yang opened his eyes, there was infinite wisdom in his eyes, and he was indeed very calm......
