From today onwards, when you walk through the bus stops along the Yanggong Causeway in Hangzhou's West Lake Scenic Area, you will notice that the bus stops have undergone new changes, and ancient paintings of the Song Dynasty with long ancient rhymes appear on the bus stops.
This is the Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area and Hangzhou Bus Group in the scenic area to create the "Asian Games, Appreciation of Song Paintings , Pin Ten Scenic Spots" activity, in the West Lake ink to trace the charm of the South Song Dynasty West Lake.
As the core element of the West Lake Scenic Area, "Ten Views of the West Lake" has always been familiar and well-known. But how this "ten scenes" was selected, many people may not know much.
In fact, the painters of the Song Dynasty were nostalgic for the landscape of the West Lake, recording the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in all corners of the West Lake, and according to the tradition of landscape painting at that time, the painter had to give his work a poetic name.
So there were inscriptions such as "Nanping Evening Bell" and "Su Causeway Spring Dawn". After the poetry of the literati inkers, the "Ten Views of the West Lake" was gradually formed. By the time of the Qing Dynasty, when the two emperors of Kangxi and Qianlong visited the West Lake, they wrote scene names and poems for the Ten Views of the West Lake, making this "Ten Views of the West Lake" famous all over the world.
This time on display at the bus stop is the "Ten Views of the West Lake" by Ye Xiaoyan, a painter from the time of Song Lizong. This set of "Ten Views of the West Lake" has a total of ten paintings, according to the title of the Ten Views of the West Lake, combined with the characteristics of the landscape, conveying the beautiful scenery displayed by the unique seasons of each scenic spot. Fusing the elements and atmosphere of the ten scenes, the reshaping is recreated to create a romantic painting scene with a confused light and shadow and a hazy fog.
In order to welcome the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, the West Lake Scenic Area excavates the cultural resources of Song Yun and protects, inherits and makes good use of history and culture. At the scenic bus station, Song Yun calligraphy and paintings are displayed, showing the profound heritage of history and culture everywhere in the scenic spot. The first batch of pilots was selected along the Yanggong Causeway that goes deep into the West Lake, and the follow-up will be within the scope of the West Lake Scenic Area, combined with the scenic characteristics of Longjing culture and the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain culture, through more forms, more carriers, and a wider range of Song Yun culture, so that everyone "people live in poetry, people swim in paintings".
