Exploring plum blossoms in Lingfeng

Lingfeng Tan Mei is located at the foot of Lingfeng Mountain in Wu Qingzhi, in the western mountainous area of West Lake. Lingfeng Temple was built in the late Jin Dynasty. In ancient times, there were Cuiwei Pavilion, Shuiyuntang, Miaogaotai and dishwashing pool. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, monks scattered on the ruins of the mountain temple, leaving only this temple. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Lingfeng Temple was rebuilt in Lianxi, Dewey, Zhejiang Province, and more than 100 plum blossoms were planted around it. In the first year, Zhou planted another 300 plum trees, which became a good place to enjoy plum, also known as "exploring plum in Lingfeng". After the Republic of China, temples were destroyed. After liberation, the people of Hangzhou restored the ancient landscape.

1in the spring of 988, the garden department redeveloped more than 400 mu of plum gardens. There are more than 5,000 plum trees here, including 200 rare "pull-down" plants. Also in the site of Lingfeng Temple, a new plum-viewing building complex has been built, and there is an elegant "gathering moon building" where you can enjoy both plum and green plums. And the "Pot Washing Pool", "Yue Quan" and other historical sites have been repaired. Nowadays, in this valley surrounded by green mountains and trees, the grass is lush, the merlin is like the sea, the pavilions are uneven, the fragrance is floating, and the scenery is very attractive.

A probe into plum blossom culture in Lingfeng, Hangzhou

Lingfeng, Xixi and Gushan are collectively called the three places to enjoy plum blossoms in the West Lake. Historically, there were temples before plum blossoms. During the Song and Ming Dynasties, plum blossoms appeared in Lingfeng Wu Qingzhi area, but there were few related records. Lingfeng planted plum for the first time in 23-25 years of Daoguang, and was later destroyed by war. In Xuantongyuan, Zhou Qingyun added 300 plums to Lingfeng. 1988 Lingfeng Meihua Scenic Area was rebuilt and opened.

Lingfeng, once called Jiu Feng in Song Dynasty, is located in the north of West Lake, south of Xixi, west of Wu Qingzhi, nine miles away from Qiantang Gate in Hangzhou and four miles away from West Lake. Lingfeng, Xixi and Gushan are collectively called the three places to enjoy plum blossoms in the West Lake. Historically, there were temples before plum blossoms. During the Jin Dynasty (944~946), King Yue of Wu built Jiufeng Temple here, and in two years, it was renamed Lingfeng Temple. Gaishan is easy to be called because of the temple, and the temple is named because of the mountain. When Su Dongpo visited Lingfeng Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty, he left a wall poem "Baotuo Temple at the foot of Lingfeng Mountain, and Dongpo with white hair will come again. The Deyun Society in the previous life is me now, and I still vaguely remember that wonderful high platform. " Then the name of Lingfeng began, and incense became a famous temple in Wulin. In the Song Dynasty, the Lingfeng Temple in Beishan was the Northern Tianzhu, echoing the Lingyin West Tianzhu. "Sawing vulture ridge, next to Taoyuan, facing Wu Zhi, building a small pavilion is the most secluded place in the forest." Lingfeng has been a secluded place since ancient times, with winding stone paths, loose paths and strange peaks and rocks. The temple is known as Cuiwei Pavilion, Sleeping Cloud Hall, Dishwashing Pool and Miaogaotai. The gap between trees is surrounded by Huangfei Pagoda in the west and Qian Jiangchao in the east, and sails and sand birds are in sight. It is "Qu, Wushan Cloud, West Lake Moon, generating picture books, which is a grand view of the universe". Since Lingfeng became attached to Plum Blossom, Qifeng, Ancient Temple, Youquan, Pine, Bamboo and Plum naturally complement each other. Zhou Qingyun once hung a vertical shaft of Peng Yulin landscape in Bumei 'an, saying, "The lonely peak fills with snow, and the flying spring freezes and washes the jade cold." There are thousands of plum trees around the house. What if they are Yuan An? "Zhou Qingyun thinks that only the scenery of Lingfeng conforms to the poetry of this painting, and only plum blossoms make the scenery of Lingfeng reach its acme. Then Lingfeng and the plum blossoms in the temple experienced ups and downs. Today, many years later, the temple is gone, but plum blossoms are still in full bloom. Exploring plum in Lingfeng has become a famous plum viewing spot in China. Does the vicissitudes of time explain the rise and fall and development of Lingfeng plum blossom, and also explain the previous understanding of Lingfeng scenery?
