Dear friends
Hello everyone! I'm glad to accompany you to visit Yuelu Mountain scenicspot
Yuelu Mountain, located on the West Bank of Xiangjiang River in ChangshaCity, is the tail of the 72 peaks of Hengshan Mountain. It has been a famousscenic spot since ancient times Although Yuelu is not high, it is indeed afamous mountain with rich cultural heritage. There are 15 places listed as keycultural relics protection units at or above the provincial level. Qingfengxia,aiwanting, Lushan temple, baihequan, caie's tomb, Huangxing's tomb, Yuwang'stomb, Yunlu palace, Yuelu Academy and other nearly 100 scenic spots areattractive everywhere.
Now, I come to Qingfeng gorge, the core scenic spot of Yuelu Mountain. Herelush forest, trees into Yin, streams around, three sides against the peak,beautiful scenery in the clip show, intoxicating. From Qingfeng gorge to the topof the mountain, a large number of primitive secondary forests have beenpreserved, with a total of 977 species of plants, 555 of which are wild seedplants, and exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere. At the entrance ofQingfeng gorge, one of the most famous pavilions in China, AI Wan Pavilion,stands high. AI Wan pavilion was built in 1972, the 57th year of Qianlong reignof Qing Dynasty. Its founder was Luo Dian, the head of Yuelu Academy, a scholarand educator at that time. In the past, Fenglin was all over Qingfeng gorge, soLuodian named the pavilion "Hongye Pavilion", also known as "Aifeng Pavilion".Later, the governor of Huguang, Bi Yuan, felt that the scenery here was veryclose to Du Mu's poem "a trip to the mountains" and changed its name to "Ai WanTing". Indeed, in late autumn, the top of Yuelu Mountain is shrouded in cloudsand mist, and the maple leaves around aiwan pavilion are as red as fire andgorgeous as blazing, which vividly expresses the artistic conception of thepoem.
Now, you can see the whole picture of aiwan Pavilion. It sits in the Westand faces east, surrounded by mountains and craggy rocks. It is surrounded bystreams on the left and right, with mountains, trees, streams and stones flowingin different directions. In his youth, when he was studying and working in HunanNo.1 Normal University, Comrade Mao Zedong often went to aiwanting together withCai Hesen, Luo xuezan, Zhang kundi and other close friends to "point out riversand mountains, excite and pronounce words", sometimes even all night. When thepavilion was rebuilt in 1952, Li Da, the then head of Hunan University, askedChairman Mao to write a title for the pavilion. Chairman Mao happily wrote downthe three characters "Ai Wan Ting", which is the plaque on the lintel of thepavilion.
Now you can see that there is a couplet on the pavilion: "the mountain pathis red and comfortable at night, and five hundred young peaches are new; theclouds in the gorge are deep and green, and a pair of tamed cranes are waitingfor the cage." This is the title of Luo Dian, the builder of AI Wan Pavilion. Itshows the style of AI Wan Pavilion at that time.
When Changsha and Kagoshima became friendly cities, aiwan Pavilion, as asymbol of the ancient city of Changsha, was imitated and built in Japan, thusbecoming a messenger of Sino Japanese friendship.
