Somewhere (in order not to hurt the people of this place, I will not say the specific name of the place) there is a monk bridge, its origin is: a woman after the death of her husband, adultery with the monk, the monk on the north bank of the river, every night to this widow's home have to take off their shoes and dribble across the river, the widow will have to warm up his feet, the widow's son was later admitted to the Scholar's College, after returning to his hometown in order to not let his mother warm up the feet of the monk to build a bridge, the name of the monk bridge. After returning to his hometown, he built a bridge to prevent his mother from warming the monk's feet. Later, the widow died of illness, the son of the scholar to kill the monk, people asked: Why do you repair the bridge and kill the monk? He said: repair the bridge is for the mother of filial piety, kill the monk is to avenge his father!

According to the old generation, the immortal bridge was not there. Around the end of the Yuan and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, the Tujia uprising leader Xiang Dakun in the Hundred Battles Gorge after the defeat, it will be divided into three volunteer soldiers; all the way by the auxiliary Huanglong real people led to the SiNanyu direction withdrawn; the second way by Xiang Dakun himself led to withdraw from Suoxi to the Shengtang Bay; the third way by the Golden Flower Miss and Chen Qiang General is responsible for the protection of the sick and wounded and the Ministry of the withdrawal of the Monkey Slope under the Tien Zi Peak. When the soldiers reached the Prince's Cave, a deep canyon blocked the way forward. In this situation, General Chen Qiang decided to lead his own troops to resist the enemy, while Miss Golden Flower stayed behind to take care of the sick and wounded and his men. Miss Golden Flower was so exhausted that she fell asleep. In her dream, she saw a black-faced general in armor, with a long sword on his waist and a sharp axe in his hand, aggressively slashing down at her, which frightened Miss Golden Flower and woke her up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, only to see a huge stone firmly in front of her between the two rocky peaks, the abyss has become a clear path. Under the moonlight, she saw the black-faced general's longsword glittering at her side! Miss Golden Flower is not surprised, she called the sick and wounded and subordinates immediately withdrew from the bridge, while picking up the longsword towards the swarming up of the officers and soldiers rushed to kill. When she swung her long sword, the heads of the enemy fell to the ground one after another. Then the longsword broke out of his hand and turned into a transparent
white python, and the scales on the white python's body turned into countless small pythons. The big python with the small pythons, head held high, spitting out a red tongue, huffing and puffing, rushed toward the enemy. The officers and soldiers were so frightened that they threw away their armor and scurried away with their heads held high.
To this day, some old people still point to the west end of the Immortal Bridge viewing platform that the pavilion of the Maiden Stone, said Miss Jinhua in the view of the white python chasing the soldiers. The scaly Tianzi Stream at the bottom of the mountain is what that long sword turned into. Now, the white snakes on Tianzi Mountain are the offspring of that white python. The boulder lying between the two peaks, which the black-faced general chopped down with a sharp axe, is now the "Immortal Bridge". The bridge surface, seems to still have traces of the knife chopping miles.

Once upon a time, the three kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty, the three kingdoms of the Peach Orchard were united. The first master's name is Liu Bei, the word Xuan De, the family lives in the big tree Yan (yan4) Sang.
The second master's name is Guan Yu, word Yunchang, lives in Shanxi Pozhou Xieliang County. The third master's surname was Zhang Fei (张飞), his name was Yide (翼德), and his family lived in Fanyang County (范阳郡) of Zhuo (zhuo1) Prefecture (涿). The fourth brother was Zhao Yun, Zilong, who lived in Changshan County, Zhending Prefecture, and won a hundred battles and was later named General Changsheng.
Only because, a fierce battle in front of the long board slope, that Zhao Yun single person alone horse, against Cao's soldiers, cut down the metropolitan flag two poles, seize longxian (shuo4) three, the horse fell into the pit, can not waste life. At this time, Cao Cao is standing on the hill, see a small general wearing white, white helmet, white armor, white flag, riding a white dragon horse, hand make five hooks God flying gun, is really a member of the brave general. If I, Meng De, get this general, great things can be accomplished. I have the intention of loving this general in my heart. In the dark, there is Xu Shu to protect Zhao Yun, Xu Shu into the Cao camp, did not say a word, and now see Zhao horse fell into the pit, can not waste life. But he asked, "Is it possible that the Prime Minister has the intention of loving the general?" Cao Cao said, "That's right". Xu Shu said, "Don't shoot cold arrows, we may be able to subdue him". Cao Cao immediately sent an order to the three armies to listen to what they had to say: I'd rather have a living Zhao Yun than a dead Zi Long, and if any of my soldiers or generals harmed Zhao Yun's life, I'd like to take the lives of 830,000 men and 50 generals, all of whom would be killed by Zhao Yun alone. When Cao's soldiers heard this, they did not dare to advance and retreated. Relying on Zhao Yun's bravery, he killed seven times and broke out of the siege. When Cao's soldiers saw him, they could not let him go, and chased after him. Chase to dangyang, Zhang Fei arrived. He shouted, "Fourth Brother, don't panic, I'm here, I'm sure it won't hurt." Cao Cao let Zhao Yun's men go, and Cao Cao arrived, not seeing Zhao Yun, but a big man with a black face. Cao Cao asked, "Who is he?" Xiahou Yuan said, "He is Zhang Fei, the reckless one. Cao Cao was shocked to hear this. I think when Guan Gong in the White Horse Slope beheading Yan Liang, had said to me, he has a third brother, in the millions of battalions can take the head of the generals, as if picking up the general. Today, I see that he is really brave. "Remove a certain family green umbrella cover, watch reckless people martial arts how." Green Luo umbrella cover withdrawn, only to see Zhang Fei leopard head ring eyes, face like blade iron, black through bright, bright through black. Under the sea a black steel beard (ran2), as if the steel needle, just like iron wire, pressure ear black hair, grab pen similar. Head wearing bin iron helmet, two dragons teasing treasure, red gold lock forehead. Dressed in a large leaf locks son chain armor, lined with soap Luo robe, stirrups tiger boots, across the horse Miles smoke cloud beast. Holding a ten feet eight snake spear, standing on top of the bridge, gritted teeth, cursing Cao Cao listen to the real: "Today, you have three masters here, or attack or fight, or fight or fight, or into or out of. You don't attack or fight, you don't advance or retreat, you don't fight, you're a piker!" Shouting once, Cao's soldiers retreated; shouting twice, the water flowed horizontally; shouting three times, breaking the Dangyang Bridge!
A poem by a later generation praised it, saying, "Saving Zhao Yun in front of the Dangyang Bridge, scaring off Cao Cao's old traitors,
Surname Zhang Fei Zi Yide, a reckless man who has been immortalized through the ages."
4. Xiling Bridge and Long Bridge, Broken Bridge and known as the West Lake three lovers bridge.
West Lake bridge are not too long, modeling can not be said to have any special features, but put along the lake to grow a certain number of years in the middle of the French sycamore is just right, look extraordinarily comfortable. Xileng Bridge is no exception.
Lone Mountain towards the Beili Lake side, in the area of the intersection with Beishan Road, there is a large piece of lawn, winter afternoons, there are a lot of people are sitting in the sunshine on the grass playing cards and drinking tea. After passing the Xileng Seal Society, which has a large seal in front of its entrance, you will arrive at the Xileng Bridge.
About 1,500 years ago, on a warm spring day, a beautiful woman sitting in an oil-walled car gently lifted the curtain on the car, or there was no curtain at all, and saw a beautiful man riding a buckskin horse. Love happens like this on the willow-lined West Lake.
The westward slanting sunlight swept across the broad water and shone into the Mu Cai Pavilion at the head of the Xileng Bridge. From afar, I saw a female guide gesturing at the pavilion, next to a group of ten or so tourists, not wanting to approach, but the explanation has ended. I can only sit in the pavilion, alone, looking at the West Lake, and then imagine such a possible scene.
Su Xiaoxiao, the Southern Qi Qian sugar people, intelligent and beautiful, although a kabuki, but self-knowledge and self-love. This is a short review of her by people who lived more than 1,500 years later, replacing oil-walled carts and buckskin horses with sightseeing trolleys, inscribed on a stone monument right next to the pavilion.
Normally, it would seem that for a daughter of two dead parents and no siblings from a young age, coupled with her low social status, it would have been impossible for Su to lead a normal life, let alone a love life.
However, in the world of West Lake, Su Xiaoxiao was a maverick, living so passionately. Like her longing for the arrival of love, is her in the West Lake in the "self-driving car" tour met.
"My concubine rode in the oil-walled car, and my husband rode in the buckskin horse. Where are you going to tie the knot, under the pines and cypresses of Xiling Lake? This song, "Qiantang Su Xiao Xiao Song", which has been circulating since Southern Chen in the Sixth Dynasty, is about Su Xiao's first love. A chance encounter with Ruan Yu, the son of an official who came to visit, and then they lived together in Su Xiao Xiao's house by the Xiling Bridge.
However, sweet dreams are easy to wake up. The love affair ended after half a year, and Ruan Yu, who was recruited by his strict father to return to Jinling, never came back. But Su Xiaoxiao was not overly sad, and the mountains and lakes of West Lake were the best place for her to get rid of the blocks in her heart.
The man who built Su Xiaoxiao's grave was the second man she met at the West Lake, the once downtrodden scholar Bao Ren, who was later able to go to the capital to take the examination after she gave him hundreds of taels of silver. However, he also went like a yellow crane. And Su Xiaoxiao still ride the oil wall car, wandering in the landscape of the West Lake, until one day occasionally wind cold, in the most youthful 22 years old died. At that time, Bao Ren, who had already become the assassin of Slide State, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, cried a lot, and then chose a plot of land to build a tomb by the Xiling Bridge.
Su Xiao Xiao's marvelous point is that she saw through the fate of the beginning and end of the treatment of love, as if the sky of the wind and moon as natural as the clouds, rather than too much mediation hurt body. In addition, her character of recognizing talents and saving people from poverty was naturally respected by scholars and people for more than 1,000 years. Even hundreds of years after her death, the Song Dynasty, a man named Sima Caizhong, still in Luoyang dreamed Su Xiao Xiao sang for him, and finally infatuated with him also not far away from thousands of miles, to come to find the dream of the West Lake.
The descendants built a "Mucai Pavilion" for Su Xiaoxiao on the edge of the West Lake. Today, this side of the Xiling Bridge, hanging a couplet, "Lakes and mountains this place was buried jade, wind and moon of its people can cast gold. This Hushan gold and jade, but is an excellent match, is also considered the best memorial to this suave and kind of good people.
Today's people, the death of Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai double butterfly memorial, placed in the southeast of the West Lake on the Ten Thousand Pine Ridge. It is said that when Liang Zhu's three years of schoolmates, it was in the Wan Song Academy, on the Wan Song Ridge, which overlooks the West Lake, and today a special Liang Zhu reading place has been built.
If Liang Zhu really once studied in Wan Song Academy, that end is good. Because you go to today's renovated academy to see, from the door into the beginning, scattered on both sides of the statue, is once in the academy to open lectures, or to give the academy to the influence of the teachers: advocate "not based on the new saint's scriptures, not based on the decree of the world's new law," Zhang Zai, the advocate of " knowledge first after the" Zhang Zai, "the new world's law. Knowing the first after the "Cheng Hao Cheng Yi brothers, advocating the" spirit "and know how to cook, Yuan Mei, and the Southern Song Dynasty Confucian Zhu Xi, and so on.
But, under the tutelage of these famous teachers, Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo's love when it was born? Is it in the night of the bright moon shining between the pines, or in the daytime of the smoky waves covering the sandy embankment? The reading place of Liang Shanbo in Wansong Academy was installed in Yuxiu Pavilion. An independent courtyard, there is a large stone with the inscription "independent stone Zhuoer". On the first floor there is a statue of Liang Zhu reading in the cold window ****.
Not far from the courtyard, there is also a new Shuangzhao well, the original site in the city, for the eighteen send off one of the scenes. At that time, Yingtai pointed to the reflection in the well and said to Shanbo: a man and a woman smiling. Shan Bo, who was still in the dark, was annoyed and said: How can you compare me to a woman?
Wan Song Ling by the West Lake to go, looking for the long bridge Liang Zhu sent back then, but it is a short section along the lake, today became part of the road traffic rolling, if no one pointed out, it is difficult to recognize. On the contrary, not far from the Long Bridge, in the Long Bridge Park, West Lake, the new two-hole double-throw bridge, said to be in honor of the Southern Song Dynasty when another pair of desire for love can not be martyred and jumped into the lake of young women Tao Shi'er and scholar Wang Xuanjiao.
In the view of many people, a smooth sailing love affair, although it is no better, but no more thrilling, more or less always make people feel sorry. The romantic and ultimate beauty of love lies in the trials and tribulations and obstacles in the middle. Because of the family, because of the origin, because of all the pressures of the world, two people seem impossible to be together. But when all the obstacles are cleared away, and the lovers who have gone through the trials and tribulations are finally reunited, the love thus obtained will be even sweeter.
However, the world is not all so as one wishes, in the real love, the lovers are often caught in the reality of more factors, and finally had to be separated. Such things, since ancient times, abound. Therefore, if Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai's butterfly is a heartbreaking romance, then the lake under the Shuangtou Bridge, where "two jade hibiscus are newly blooming", is an extreme measure of love. Today, people walking across the Long Bridge and Double Throw Bridge, in addition to the lake with the wrath of the other, it is possible to think about, love needs courage, but in the blockage appeared, it is more important to let the love in this life to continue.
Only a hundred meters long broken bridge is a single hole ring hole bridge, located in the northeast end of the White Causeway, one end next to the North Mountain Road, across the road is a good view of the Jewel Mountain. From here, if you walk along the White Causeway to the southwest, you can reach Lone Mountain, the most culturally rich mountain in the entire West Lake. The bridge, which got its name in the Tang Dynasty but has never been broken, is the place where the White Lady and Xu Xian met in the folk myth "The Legend of the White Snake".
The feet of those lovers in pairs also come and go like running water. On the Broken Bridge, I saw a pair of student couples wearing school uniforms and holding hands, humming "999 roses" in unison as they walked toward the White Causeway.
Spanning the Broken Bridge in the middle of the water, across both sides of the lake, the south side of the West Lake is wide, and the far shore is the silhouette of the bustling city. The north of the Beili Lake water is narrow, is reflected in a line of hills and trees along the lake bank. There are many people standing in the center of the bridge to take pictures. If the weather is good and the angle is right, the photo from the north side is likely to show two pagodas, one on top of a hill and the other upside down in the mirror-like water, with two rows of similar French sycamores in between.
The east end of the bridge near the Beili Lake on this side, there is a pavilion with a water pavilion with a monument in the center of a stone tablet written "Broken Bridge". Under the water pavilion, in the lake against the Beishan Road, there are dozens of acres of lotus ponds. Unfortunately, at this time of year, the lotus leaves have long disappeared, once upright branches have also decayed, three boats, several workers are using the Penny to salvage these stumps and stems on board.
"Broken Bridge snow" is one of the old ten scenic West Lake, but this weather obviously can not see the ancients most respected West Lake snow scene. Sitting in the water pavilion at the east end of the Broken Bridge, opening the late Ming literati Zhang Dai's "West Lake Dreams", there is this classic description, "the sky and clouds, and mountains, and water, up and down a white. Shadow on the lake, but a trace of the long embankment, the lake Pavilion a little, and the remaining boat a mustard, boat people two or three grains only", roughly imagined a few hundred years ago on the West Lake, the white sky and the world, but the remaining two or three things of the scenery to a feeling of lonesomeness came to life.
Think, white Suzhen and Xu Xian's youthful meeting, certainly not in the winter time. At least, in the legend about them, there is a very important love props - umbrellas, it is in the process of borrowing and returning, brought out a period of earth-shattering love. More appropriate, should be in the peach green spring or lotus reflecting the summer, at least in the season of all things upward, feelings will be more enthusiastic than usual. Otherwise, even if the white snake had become a beauty, in the ancient times of strict etiquette, such as the male-female sex is not intimate and other prohibitions, will make people, at least Xu Xian deterred.
In the feudal society, the love between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian was a task that could not be accomplished, not to mention the fact that the middle was also separated by Fahai, who represented the feudal norms. The people of those times ah, is because of this, how many budding in the heart of love, and ultimately can only let it in the eyes of the afterglow of the dull disappearance.
But for thousands of years, people's yearning for love has never been the same, and then more sticks to suppress and shackles blockade, can not stop the love of the vigorous birth. Only, limited to the historical limitations of the narrative, we can only from the legend of the White Lady and Xu Xian, and later circulated in the world of words, drama, by the tower down the people reunion of the end of the people to see the respect for love, as well as the maintenance of the good wishes.
So, there is also a version of the story that the people who visited the West Lake, because they hated Fahai and tried to rescue the White Maiden, who dared to love, would draw away a brick from under the base of the Leifeng Pagoda every time they went there. The cumulative following years eventually led to the collapse of the Leifeng Pagoda, a symbol of feudal oppression.
Standing on today's Broken Bridge, looking southwest to the end of the lake, a towering pagoda rises above a sliver of hills on the edge of the West Lake, and that's today's newly rebuilt Leifeng Pagoda, which stands on top of it, overlooking a panoramic view of the West Lake
