Excerpts:
The poem says the Twelve Views of Bayu
During the Qianlong period, Wang Erjian compiled the "Chronicle of Ba County", and the most effort spent was probably the organization and comments on the Twelve Views of Bayu. Among these twelve scenes, there are three places that are directly related to the mother city of Chongqing.
Bashan towering show, jinbi has a high platform.
Where the heavens are fragrant, it is suspected that it comes from the moon cave.
The river ring is thousands of mountains, and the nine doors of yundu are open.
Every overlook of the railing, the clear fragrance of the grass Lai.
This poem is his "golden fragrance". Because this scene is close to the Yamen of Ba County, it is estimated that it is his vestibule backyard, so it is placed at the head of the "Twelve Views of Bayu". Jinbi Mountain is a node of the great beams of the mother city, and Yu Jiu, the envoy of the Sichuan system in the Song Dynasty, once built a jinbitai in this stone. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Junshou Shumin also built the Jinbi Pavilion here. Because of its excellent location and central location, in 1929, it was designated as "Central Park".
Jinbi Mountain has always been the best place to overlook the bustling scene in the city, at the foot of chongqing is the various levels of the government office, looking at the distance, the rivers and mountains are everywhere, close to the garden of Dangui, facing the breeze, the fragrance is charming.
"Hongya Dicui" is located on the side of the Jialing River, there is a Hongya Cave in ancient times, a waterfall on the nearby cave hangs down in the air, falls to the bottom of the cliff, and then flows down the rock mass from top to bottom as a trickle, over time, there is a stone moss appearing, naturally there is a "Dicui" effect. Wang Erjian commented on himself, "The pearls fly high on the shore, the green river flows, the oblique sun is hidden, and the sparkling stones are shining."
The place where the "Fotu Night Rain" occurred is in Fotu Pass, which was originally Xiongguan, which has always been a place of contention for soldiers in history, but behind the shadow of the sword and light, there is still a good story of "Fotu Night Rain", which has been rumored to be the associated place of "Bashan Night Rain Rising Autumn Pond", all because there is a night rain temple in Guannei.
The 1943 edition of the "Companion Chronicle" also records: "One of the twelve scenic spots of Bayu, the floating figure night rain, to Guannei there is a night rain temple, in the past there is a bluestone between the walls of the temple, although the drought is menstruating, the early morning is like a night rain." ”
