In Suzhou, when it comes to the upper mountain forest park, it is almost a household name, our deepest impression is her Hundred Flowers Festival, whenever the spring flowers bloom, the purple and red, the smoke is good-looking, but after this festival, it seems that Suzhou natives do not like to climb Fangshan, nor do they like to climb the famous Lengga Tower, so many people say: The upper mountain is very yin, there is a place of "borrowing yin debt", is this really the case? When we climbed the Lengata And came to the Lengata Temple to overlook the stone lake, the scenery was picturesque, and the lake and mountain color of the upper mountain in the sunset that day made me even more intoxicated, so why is this so? Let me unveil her mystery with you.

From the gate of the park to the top of Fangshan Mountain, there are two roads to choose from, one is to take the Qianlong Emperor's royal road, one is to go along the scenic road and then climb less mountains, the Qianlong Royal Road is lined with trees, very cool. And walking around the road is basically unobstructed, plus that day the weather is very hot, I did not hesitate to choose the Qianlong Royal Road, this royal road is about 1 kilometer or so, the ground is full of granite small stones, showing buddha beads carefully arranged, every 10 meters with green bricks made of cranes, bats, unicorns and other patterns, legend has it that one year Qianlong wanted to tour the south of Shihu Lake, the government used craftsmen to build this road in three days, this road, we are now walking up very well, you can imagine how good the quality of the project was at that time.

Walking through the stone platform on the outskirts of the Wu King's sacrifice in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is not far away from the Lengata Temple, and I am the first time to go under this tower. This Lengga Pagoda was built in the fourth year of the Sui Dynasty, in 608 AD. In the fifth year of Tang Huichang (845) the national ban on Buddhism, Lengjia Temple and pagoda were also demolished, to the ninth year of Xiantong (868) and then rebuilt the pagoda, the Northern Song Dynasty Taiping Xingguo three years (978) rebuilt again, he is a seven-story and eight-sided imitation wooden pavilion-style brick tower, is the second oldest pagoda in Suzhou pagoda construction, the age of the pagoda is second only to the Tiger Hill Pagoda, and the South Gate ruiguang pagoda and lingyan mountain duobao pagoda is very similar, the famous qing dynasty poet Gong Zizhen said in the poem "the upper tower overlooks the qing autumn" It is said that this tower has added a lot of lake light and mountain color to The Stone Lake.

There was a time a long time ago, here in the name of the five gods, the temple was made of black smoke miasma, and some people were sick, and it was also said that it was for the five gods to see and not to treat. In the twenty-third year of Kangxi, Tang Bin served as an inspector of Jiangsu, and when he took office in Suzhou, he was very angry when he saw that the upper mountain was engaged in this kind of activity, and the following year, he ran to the mountain and tied one end of the iron chain to the statue of the god, and one end was tied to his head, so he pulled down the five gods and threw them into the stone lake, cracking down on the cult at that time
During the Daoguang years, the incense of the Wutong Ancestral Hall on the upper mountain was revived, and it was Yu Xiao, who was the inspector of Jiangsu in Suzhou at that time, who was a Mongolian Yellow Banner man, and when he was in power in Suzhou, he had been fighting against this cult, and he followed Tang Bin's example of "issuing a notice to destroy the shrine and destroy the temple." ”。 Therefore, until now, Suzhou people are generally not used to introducing relatives and friends to the upper mountain Lenggata to play, and the shadow of the past five gods of belief is related, that the "yin qi" of the upper mountain is heavy. However, now the management of the pagoda courtyard has introduced the official Buddha, Taoist religion, and further improved the tourism function, and the upper mountain LenggaTa has become the most famous attraction in the Stone Lake Scenic Area.

Although the scenery of Shihu Lake in Suzhou is beautiful, it is really famous because of Fan Chengda of the Southern Song Dynasty, who is a native of Wu County, that is, a native of Suzhou, who was in The Twenty-fourth Year of Song Shaoxing, Zhongjinshi, in the sixth year of Song Qiandao (1170), he was crowned as a senior scholar of the Imperial Palace, resisted the Jin soldiers, and lived in seclusion in Shihu in his later years, and he mainly did the following practical things in Shihu:
1⃣ The "Chronicle of Wu County" was compiled, which is an extremely valuable historical value in Suzhou.
2⃣ Writing poems in Shihu, the achievements of poetry are huge, he is the "Four Great Poets of Zhongxing", and his sixty poems of "Four Hours of Pastoral Miscellaneous" are representative works of Chinese pastoral poetry.
3⃣ He compiled the JuQu and Mei Pu, and the Mei Bi was the first monograph on Mei in China
4⃣ A pink story happened: he had a Hefei girl named "Xiaohong" in green clothes, and in the winter of the second year of Shao Xi (1191), one of his students named Jiang Yaozhang came to him to learn poetry, and Fan Chengda also wrote him poems called "Dark Xiang" and "Shuying", which are two very famous words in the history of Chinese literature. Not only that, he also fulfilled a marriage between Xiaohong and Jiang Yaozhang, leaving a good story in the literary world. Fan Chengda lived in Shihu, and Song Xiaozong personally wrote "Shihu" as a gift, and Shihu became more famous.

Today there are very few people who come to see Fan Cheng's ancestral hall, even if the people who come to visit are also hurriedly walking through, this is worth the deep thinking of the tourism industry, we have heard Tang Bohu's autumn incense, such a popular story, we have also heard the story of Wu Wang and Xi Shi, we have also heard the story of Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu, Fan Cheng's gift of Xiaohong is also a wonderful story, and the Shihu Lake Scenic Area can excavate such historical and cultural resources. Erecting a monument to them will inevitably multiply the tourists' travel.
We saw a stone pavilion on that day's tour, which is the famous Baoguang Pavilion, which was built by the people of Okinawa Prefecture in Japan and completed in November 2007, which was built by the people of Okinawa, Japan to commemorate the dedication of Xu Baoguang. He is at the foot of the mountain at the eastern foot of Shangfang Mountain, next to plants such as camellia and rhododendron, and is a five-column circular spire, all granite structure, with the typical characteristics of Chinese pavilion structures.

Xu Baoguang was a native of Wujiang, Suzhou, who won the Shuntianxiang Examination in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, was admitted to the jinshi with the third place in the fifty-first year of Kangxi, was commissioned as the deputy envoy of Ryukyu in the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, and went to the Ryukyu kingdom on behalf of the country to be crowned as the king of the great-great-grandson Shangjing of the Ryukyu kingdom. Today, the people of Okinawa (known in ancient times as Ryukyu) refer to Xu Baoguang as a "cultural ambassador" and a monument is erected in Naha, the capital of Okinawa, to commemorate it.

Xu Baoguang was a kangxi envoy to Okinawa in the fifty-eighth year (1719), and he wrote a book on this mission, called "Zhongshan Transmission Letter", which is of great value, which irrefutably proves that diaoyu Island, Huangwei Island, Chiwei Island, etc. are all Chinese territory. In Cheng Shunze's book "Guide to Yiguang", it is clearly stated that the boundary mountain in Okinawa, Japan is Gumi Mountain and Diaoyutai. Huangwei Island, Chiwei Island, etc. belong to China. Bao Guangting can testify that the relationship between Suzhou and Ryukyu is not ordinary!

Then it spread to the official palace, and finally to the Qianlong Emperor, who also invited him to see a doctor, and Xu Dachun's reputation spread at once. The locals are very grateful to him, honoring him as "A-Dad" meaning an elder, Xu Dachun and the Chenghuangshan Taoist Temple, just like the relationship between the boat and the water, the water rises and the boat rises, complementing each other.
