Preface
As one of the world's most famous tourist destinations, China has countless natural landscapes, places of interest, each of which is worth sightseeing.
But except for some scenic spots that do not require tickets, most of China's tourist attractions need to pay to enter, which is cheap for dozens of yuan and expensive for hundreds of yuan.
Although the ticket price of a single scenic spot is not expensive, for some people who like to travel, if they go to several more scenic spots, then the ticket money alone adds up to a lot of expenses.
However, among these scenic spots that require a fee to enter, there are a few scenic spots where tourists can reduce their tickets by "reciting ancient poems".
Where are these scenic spots, and what are the ancient poems that need to be memorized?
Hunan - Yueyang Tower
Yueyang Tower is located in Yueyang, Hunan Province, which is the highest level of 5A-level scenic spot in mainland China, and has always had the reputation of "Dongting Tianxiashui, Yueyang Tianxialou" and "one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River".
Climb high and look into the distance, you can overlook the scenery of Dongting Lake, and the original body of Yueyang Tower was established in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, after the years of time, after several reconstructions, the general appearance that is retained now is the appearance of rebuilding during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, today's Yueyang Tower has strong artistic and architectural characteristics of the Qing Dynasty, both in terms of scenery and historical value, it is unique among the major tourist attractions in the mainland.
The reason why Yueyang Tower is so famous is because since the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of poems have been climbed upstairs to write poems and lyrics, just about the poems describing the scenery of Yueyang Tower, there are thousands of poems.
The poet immortal Li Bai and the poet saint Du Fu have written poems for Yueyang Tower, among which Li Bai wrote the couplet of "water and sky, wind and moon boundless", which is now engraved on Yueyang Tower.
But the most well-known thing about Yueyanglou is Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower", so as long as you travel to Yueyanglou on a national holiday, and then recite "The Story of Yueyang Tower" completely and fluently within 5 minutes, you can get free tickets.
Jiangxi - Tengwang Pavilion
Tengwang Pavilion is located in Nanchang, Jiangxi, and Yueyang Tower, Yellow Crane Tower alongside, known as "the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River".
It was originally established in the Yonghui period of the Tang Dynasty, and later became a tourist destination for countless poets because Wang Bo wrote the famous article "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" for thousands of years.
During the period of Tang Gaozong, Wang Bo passed by Tengwang Pavilion on the way back to his hometown, and was invited to participate in the banquet held by the governor of Hongzhou at that time.
"Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", the language is extremely gorgeous, exhausting the grand occasion of the banquet and the magnificent scenery of the Pavilion of King Teng, which describes the magnificent and lonely mountains and rivers, which makes people can't help but empathize with Wang Bo's desolate and sad feelings, and deserves the reputation of "Eternal Xiongwen".
Therefore, as long as tourists can recite the "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" completely, they can enter the sightseeing tour for free, but the "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" is a little too many words, so the difficulty is not small, if you want to try, it is recommended to prepare in advance.
Henan - Yue Fei Temple
Yue Fei Temple is located in Anyang, Henan Province, which is a 4A-level tourist attraction in the mainland, and is also a "holy place" in the hearts of countless patriots in the mainland.
Because it is to commemorate the famous anti-Jin generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is also a place of worship specially built by Yue Fei, a famous national hero in the mainland.
It is impossible to verify the time when this place was originally established, but it is certain that the Yue Fei Temple, which is now presented to the world, has undergone many expansions and reconstructions to have the scale it has today.
Now what Yue Fei left us, in addition to the stories of those who resisted gold and patriotism and suffered unjustly and tragic deaths, also left us a heart-wrenching poem "Man Jianghong".
Starting from the beginning of this year, as long as tourists recite "Man Jianghong" at the ticket office, they can skip the ticket fee and enter Yue Fei Temple for free sightseeing.
Sichuan - Jianmen Pass
Jianmen Pass is located in Guangyuan, Sichuan, which is not only a 4A-level scenic spot in mainland China, but also an international-level forest park and a geopark in Sichuan Province.
Jianmen Pass is the throat of the ancient Shu land of the mainland, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, built a plank road here, and Jianmen Pass is also named after Zhuge Liang.
And what really made Jianmen Pass famous was due to the poem "Shu Dao Difficult" by the poet immortal Li Bai.
The road to Shu is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and the road is full of difficulties and dangers in the terrain of Jianmen Pass.
Therefore, when tourists travel to Jianmen Pass, they only need to recite the "Shu Road Difficulty" in full, and they can enter the tour for free.
Anhui - Langya Mountain
Langya Mountain Scenic Area is located in Chuzhou, Anhui Province, and is a 4A-level tourist attraction in mainland China.
There is not only the peculiar scenery of "Nine Caves and Eighteen Springs" in this place, but also the Drunken Man Pavilion that enjoys the "first pavilion in the world".
Among the many tourist attractions in the mainland, Langya Mountain itself is not famous, but the Drunken Man Pavilion is famous for centuries because of the famous writer Ouyang Xiu of the Northern Song Dynasty "The Story of the Drunken Man Pavilion".
And now in the Langya Mountain Scenic Area, there is a stone carving that has been preserved since the Song Dynasty.
The content is Ouyang Xiu's "The Legend of the Drunken Man's Pavilion", and the calligraphy is written by Su Dongpo, another literary master, and this stone carving can be regarded as a precious artistic and historical relic.
Therefore, if you want to enter Langya Mountain for free, you need to recite Ouyang Xiu's "The Story of the Drunken Man's Pavilion", but the number of places that can be reduced or exempted by reciting poems is only 30 per day, so those who want to use this way to get tickets free must arrive early.
Hainan - Dongpo Academy
Dongpo Academy is located in Danzhou, Hainan, which is a 4A-level scenic spot in mainland China, and was established to commemorate the famous poet Su Dongpo of the Northern Song Dynasty.
It was originally established in the Northern Song Dynasty, originally known as "Zaijiutang", and was renamed Dongpo Academy after being rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty.
When Su Dongpo was relegated to Danzhou, Hainan, he lived in Dongpo Academy and gave lectures to the locals at the same time.
In Dongpo Academy, you can see many of Su Dongpo's calligraphy works, as well as a large number of classic materials about Su Dongpo.
Many famous works by later generations who came here for sightseeing and wrote poems and paintings are also collected by Dongpo Academy.
If you want to enter Dongpo Academy for free, you need to recite 6 poems of Su Shi in a row, although the number is a bit large, but many Su Shi test works have already been learned in Chinese textbooks, so the difficulty is not high.
epilogue
These scenic spots, which can reduce the entrance fee by "reciting poems", are all related to celebrities in mainland history.
Especially for those scenic spots that have been famous for centuries because of the poetry of the ancients, it is a very smart way to reduce the entrance fee by reciting poems, which is conducive to increasing the number of tourists and increasing popularity.
But if you want to use this way to enter the scenic spot for free, then you must do your homework in advance to ensure that you can recite the corresponding ancient poems completely and fluently.
Otherwise, if a group of people line up there to recite poems, if anyone is stumbling and stumbling, it will inevitably create an embarrassing situation.
But even if you don't have free admission by reciting poems, the ticket price of these scenic spots is not expensive, and it is worth the price compared to the special attractions in the scenic area.
