I believe that many people have heard the story of Wu Song, but few people know that Wu Song's tomb is actually in Hangzhou, and it is by the West Lake!
So, why is Wu Song's tomb by the West Lake? Which corner of the West Lake is the tomb of Wu Song, is it very biased, so the general tourists have not seen it?
Not really. Wu Song Tomb is on the road from Bai Causeway to Su Causeway, Su Xiaoxiao Tomb is about 50 meters away, Wu Song Tomb faces the West Lake, which can be said to be a very good site.
The current Tomb of Wu Song is not the earliest one, but it is also restored on the original site based on old photos, so it can also be regarded as the appearance of the old times.
There is a pair of Yang Lian on the tomb of Wu Song, which was inscribed by the famous writer Feng Jicai: Frustrated and Wu Haoke, when he was also a British duke.
So, why is Wu Song's tomb in Hangzhou? In fact, as early as Shi Nai'an's book "Water Margin", it can be seen. Because the novel mentions that Wu Song finally became a monk in Hangzhou and eventually grew old in Hangzhou, the people of Hangzhou, feeling the righteousness of the hero, buried him by the West Lake.
Although "Water Margin" is a fictional novel, in history, there are not many heroes like Wu Song.
Wu Song stills, invasion and deletion
Not far from the tomb of Wu Song, is the Temple of The King of Yue, when the Storm Pavilion incident, General Yue died tragically, a Lin'an jailer named Kui Shun risked his life to carry General Yue's body out, and guarded the tomb for 20 years. You know, if such a bold move of his is discovered, this act is a proper violation of the emperor's orders, and it may be related to the Nine Tribes!
Thousands of years later, Hangzhou's onion braised pork belly has become one of the intangible cultural heritage, and it is a must-eat local snack for tourists to Hangzhou. But hangzhou people will not forget that every onion wrapped in a braised bun is wrapped with a "fried ghost Qin Juniper"! This is the love and hatred of the Hangzhou people for loyalty and adultery, and the distinction between good and evil.
Therefore, it is not surprising that The tomb of Wu Song is in such a good location by the West Lake.
The wusong tomb is not large, and tourists can pay tribute to the hero when they come here, because it is not a closed attraction, so it is open 24 hours a day.
If you come from the broken bridge, you can walk along the White Causeway, and if you go to lonely mountain, you will encounter many celebrity tombs, such as Lin Kui, such as Su Manshu and so on.
West Lake is the West Lake of humanity, although West Lake is also a West Lake with lake light and mountain color. But if you are separated from these humanistic past events, the lake surface of the West Lake is actually not very spectacular.
However, just as Hangzhou was once the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, history will not be forgotten. Those who have truly existed in the long river of time, those heroes and good men, or treacherous villains, will be remembered.
Even fictional literary works represent people's yearning for beauty and the pursuit of goodness in their hearts.
Perhaps, for the rationalists, the real Wu Song will always exist only in "Water Margin", but tourists with a little sensitivity can go to the West Lake to take a look, and then go to Qinghefang to take a look, where the Wu Dalang baked cakes that have been like a day for decades, and the long queues of onion-wrapped braised windows on the main street are telling historical allusions, alternating between virtual and real, and the story and reality converge here, and are called a Hangzhou story.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" how to visit Wusong's tomb >? </h1>
WuSong Tomb is not crowded with tourists, and it is very quiet in normal times. Tourists can visit on the same line as the Broken Bridge and su causeway. Because from the broken bridge to the Su Causeway, if you don't take the road of Beishan Street, you will pass through Wu Song's tomb.
Wu Song's tomb is near Su Xiaoxiao's tomb, which is very inconspicuous, so it will be easy to be missed. It is probably about 50 meters from Su Xiaoxiao's tomb, which is the tomb of Wu Song.
Wusong tomb does not need a ticket, if you are interested in the West Lake wind objects, you can find that there are several very green seeds not far from the Wusong tomb, this season the fruit will fall to the ground, the fruit looks like a guiyuan, but the fruit can not be eaten.
If you have been walking around for too long and feel that your hands are sweating, you can pick up a fruit and rub it in your hand, and soon it will come out with rich soap, and then rinse it with water and it will be very clean. This is because the fruit can be used to make detergents. Hangzhou people even figuratively named it "soap fruit".
