According to the growth habits, flowering period, flower shape and other factors of various plants, evergreen vines and deciduous vines are planted at intervals and reasonably distributed. The entire corridor is planted with 13 varieties including wisteria, osmanthus, honeysuckle, trumpet creeper, and plum-leaved kiwi, with more than 3,000 vines.

The whole trellis presents a charming picture of vines connected and flowers blooming. The vines such as wood fragrance, plum-leaf kiwi, and loofah will be filled with color and fragrance. Qingshui Tianzi is only a six-year-old little girl, and she is not very strong. Yunluo led the little girl through a section of the Bogong Relic Corridor and took a short rest before dining on the terrace.

This is the granite statue of Zhang Bo on the terrace, the landmark of Bogong Island. On the round stone platform, Bogong is wearing a cloak, looking straight ahead, holding the reins in his left hand, and stretching out his right hand with five fingers, looking like he is pointing at the mountains and rivers. Look at his mount, which has a pig head and a dragon body. The landscape wall near the statue shows that this is the "Pig Dragon".

Legend has it that Zhang Bo dug the mountain day and night to dredge the river, which moved the gods. The gods temporarily turned him into a mythical beast called Zhupo Dragon. He swallowed up the dog-shaped monster that was causing trouble in Li Lake in one gulp, and used his mouth to open the "Shuidu Gate" and "Puling Gate". He finally succeeded in digging the river and connected Taihu Lake and Li Lake.

<

It is said that there are Nandu Mountain, Zhongdu Mountain and Beidu Mountain between Lihu Lake and Taihu Lake. The three mountains are connected like a pen holder, blocking Lihu Lake and Taihu Lake. Whenever there is flood or drought, the fields are often barren and the people are living in poverty. In the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Bo came to Wuxi and led the people to dig Dushan Mountain and open Dushan Gate, so that the water flow of Lihu Lake and Taihu Lake is smooth.

From then on, Wuxi became a land of fish and rice, with seagulls flying in the sky and fish playing in the shallows. "Opening the Dushan Gate, flooding out of Wuxi City" is the colloquial saying of Wuxi people to commemorate Zhang Bo's achievements in flood control.

This statue was erected to commemorate Zhang Bo's work in water conservancy. On both sides of the city sculpture, there is a group of stone line carvings in the style of woodcuts from the Ming and Qing dynasties. It introduces to tourists the legendary story of Zhang Bo's conserving Taihu Lake and saving the people. When you come here, you can admire the statue, watch the line carvings, remember the ancestors, and feel a lot of emotion!

This statue is closely linked to the environment and history of the park, allowing visitors to feel Bogong's life experience, personality, spirit and pursuit, and be influenced and enlightened.

Is the pig dragon a human or a god? There are two legends. One is that a human turned into a god. According to legend, Zhang Bo was determined and persevering in controlling the floods in Taihu Lake. He was not afraid of hardship and moved the heaven deeply. The Jade Emperor issued an imperial decree to transform him from a human into a dragon. Because the river pig is strong and familiar with water, it turned into a pig dragon.

After turning into a dragon, he swallowed a dog-shaped water monster that often caused trouble in Li Lake. He suddenly felt full of divine power and used his mouth to push open the Dushan Gate and open the waterway. From then on, Wuxi became a water town in the south of the Yangtze River with abundant crops. Therefore, the Heavenly Court named him the God of Water.

The second is the transformation of gods into humans. According to legend, there was a pig-headed dragon with a dragon body in the East China Sea. Although it was born strange and ugly, it was kind-hearted. After thousands of years of cultivation, it became a god and ascended to heaven. However, the good times did not last long. After accidentally breaking the rules of heaven, the Jade Emperor demoted it to the mortal world. After arriving at the Taihu Lake, it became a poor boy with a piece of silk on his body and a piece of silk on his head.

After being rescued by a kind-hearted person and growing up, he would reveal his true form at night, transforming into a pig-dragon, building water conservancy projects and benefiting the people. This shows that whether it is a human turning into a god or a god turning into a human, it means that Zhang Bo is both a human and a god.

According to legend, this statue is a fusion of mortals and gods. Looking closely, Zhang Bo's upper body is human, but his lower body is missing, and he has merged with the Zhu Po Long. Zhang Bo's mount Zhu Po Long has a pig-like mouth, but human-like ears, and eyes that are neither pig nor pig. This clearly means that Zhu Po Long is not an ordinary pig. It is both god-like and human-like, and it is also both god and human.

It can be seen that the author of the statue accurately expressed the myths and legends, recreating the myths and legends in a way that is clear at a glance and unforgettable. This is the magical expressiveness of this statue!

Zhang Bo held the reins in his left hand and waved with his right hand. He was wearing a cape, holding his head high and looking piercingly, as he was digging the Dushan Gate. He was like a general commanding thousands of troops to march towards the Dushan project. The pig dragon raised its head and raised its tail, flying over the waves and surging, unstoppable, fully demonstrating its supernatural magical power.

The statue is carved from a whole piece of granite purchased from Shandong. The statue is five meters high and five meters across. It uses a huge piece of granite weighing 45 tons.

The location of the statue was well chosen. Looking around, there are green pines and cypresses behind it. In front of it, there is a wide lake. Looking up, you can see the scenery of Luding Mountain; looking down, you can see the rippling blue waves hitting the lakeshore. What is even more ingenious is that a garden-shaped terrace was built here, with Zhang Bo and Zhu Polong standing in the middle.

The rain and dew from heaven are received year after year to nourish the physical and spiritual strength, thus ensuring peace for thousands of years! This ingenious concept of the unity of man and nature, and the unity of heaven and gods is like a fairyland.

Zhang Bo was from Longyang, Wuling. He was born in the third year of Shenjue in the Western Han Dynasty. He was seven feet tall and full of vigor. He married Liu and Li successively and had five sons, one daughter, and eight grandchildren. Zhang Bo was proficient in Taoism and led the underworld troops to help dig a canal. He wanted to dig a canal to Tongli River, through Langchuan, connecting Nanyi Lake and directly to the Yangtze River.

Zhang Bo was driving the ghost soldiers to dig a river, so he didn't let his wife go to the front construction site. He had a secret agreement with Li beforehand, and they agreed to deliver food when the drum sounded three times. Later, he left food on the drum, and a bird pecked at the drum. When Wang arrived at the drum platform, he realized that the bird had been misled. Hesitantly, his wife arrived and beat the drum. Wang thought that he had been misled before and didn't come. Then his wife went to the construction site and saw that Wang was a big pig, driving the ghost soldiers to dig the river.

When the king saw his wife, she was not yet transformed. From then on, he was ashamed and stopped meeting her. The blasphemy was over. Zhang Bo lived in seclusion on the top of Hengshan Mountain in Guangde, practicing with all his heart. His wife, Li, also went to the east of the county and transformed.

Although the water from the holy land dried up and became farmland for the people, the people of Guangde were still grateful to Zhang Bo for his contribution to flood control. So they built the Cishan Temple in Hengshan and made statues to worship him. They also built the "Zhaofei Temple" at the east gate of the city, commonly known as the Niangniang Temple, where they worshipped from generation to generation.

According to the "Wuxi Chronicles", Zhang Bo was a water control hero who dredged Li Lake. Due to its suitable location, Li Lake became a natural reservoir for flood discharge and water storage in Wuxi. However, due to its limited volume and the water outlet connecting to Taihu Lake was blocked by Niudu Mountain, its regulation ability was affected, and floods occurred in rainy years.

Zhang Bo's determination to control the flood in Li Lake moved God, who turned him into a "Pig Dragon". He swallowed up the dog-shaped water monster that was causing trouble in Li Lake, and suddenly he had supernatural power all over his body. He used his mouth to push open the "Dushan Gate" and dredge the "Puling Gate", allowing the water in Li Lake and Taihu Lake to flow smoothly.

From then on, Wuxi, on the bank of Liangxi River, became a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, with kites flying, fish leaping, and abundant crops. So God named him the water god who "controls the prisons and ditch". Zhang Bo's last water conservancy project was in Guangde, where he died and was buried in Hengshan. That was the seventh year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty. Suffering from a drought that had not been seen for a hundred years, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty set up an altar to pray for rain, and it responded. Xuanzong was amazed by the divine power and specially conferred Zhang Bo the title of "Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Water Resources".

In view of Zhang Bo's development of the south of the Yangtze River, his lifelong efforts to control floods, develop agriculture, and save the world, his achievements were unparalleled, like mountains and rivers. It was far from enough to build palaces and temples to worship and praise him, so a mountain was named as a shrine, and Hengshan was named as the shrine mountain, and sacrifices were made from generation to generation. Since then, the shrine mountain has become a synonym for Zhang Bo, and later people added the honorific titles of Bodhisattva and Great Emperor after the shrine mountain.

From then on, Zhang Bo officially stepped onto the altar and became the Bodhisattva of Cishan and the Great Emperor of Cishan. Hengshan and Cishan were known as the sacred land and holy land and became famous in Jiangdong. Later, due to the coronation of emperors of successive dynasties, the scale of the title and sacrifice to Zhang Bo became higher and higher. From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, 18 emperors successively performed Fengshan for Zhang Bo.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period, Liu Chen, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty in the Later Jin Dynasty, conferred the title of Guangde King on Zhang Bo. As successive emperors conferred titles on him, he finally conferred the title of "Zhengyou Shenglie Zhaode Changfu Chongren Fushun Lingyou Puji Zhenjun" with 18 characters, and conferred titles on his grandparents, parents, three wives, five sons, five daughters-in-law, one daughter, nine brothers, nine brothers' wives, eight grandsons, and four attendants to show respect.

The length of dynasties that bestowed titles on Zhang Bo and the number of titles he bestowed upon him are rare among all the gods.

Yunluo strolled along the Bogong Island Tingbu trail with Qingshui Tianzi in her arms along the east shoreline. A winding wooden plank road led the two people, one big and one small, into a beautiful canna bush.

Passing through the canna bushes, in a reed marsh, there is a nine-curve wooden bridge in front of us, named Qinyin Bridge. Qinyin Bridge. What a nice name, the ups and downs of the bridge are probably created by the rhythm of the music.

On both sides of the winding Qinyin Bridge in the lake, there are large patches of unknown green plants. Walking on the Qinyin Bridge, it seems like stepping on the harmony on the keyboard. There is a beautiful island on one side of the Qinyin Bridge. Then we came to Sanyou Xiaozhu. Why is it called this name? Is it because of the three friends of winter, pine, bamboo and plum?

However, apart from a bamboo forest at the corner of the pavilion, there were no pine or plum trees to be seen around it, and no explanatory text was found around it.

The swaying bamboo shadows have a unique charm.

The bamboo forest next to Sanyou Cottage has a couplet: Five lakes retain wildness; Three friends report Zen mind. An old woman stands beside a canna, red flowers and yellow leaves reflect the beauty. Looking for pine and plum blossoms at Sanyou Cottage, the sun casts a golden glow. Traveling to Taihu Lake in the cool autumn, looking at the fine stones.

The natural color of ice and jade, desolately trying to be a guest of the west wind. Refusing to marry the east wind, diligent in the frost and dew. Green window dressing late, smiling at the glass cup. The slanting sun on the dressing table, wine red and sleepy come.

Qinglian Bridge is located at the southern end of Bogong Island Scenic Area, running from north to south. It is a three-hole granite arch bridge with a flat deck. The bridge body is different from the ancient stone bridges in the south of the Yangtze River, with soft lines; exquisite workmanship and extraordinary momentum. The total length of the Qinglian Bridge is 30 meters, the bridge end is 3.5 meters wide, the bridge deck is 2.8 meters wide, and the height is about 3.5 meters. There are 20 stone steps at both ends.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The bridge railings are beautifully carved, and the tops of the columns are engraved with cloud patterns, which are lifelike and very beautiful. Among the green trees and flowers, the "Three Friends Cottage", "Hibiscus Pavilion", "Runxue Tower", "Xuyu Tower", barbecue house log pavilions and waterside teahouses are scattered along the lakeside ditches, adding a unique mountain and wild charm; on the slope in front of the "Wangtian Pavilion".

The cherry trees are covered with dense green leaves and the branches are full of fruits, which are mouth-watering. It is a rare and pleasant pursuit for people who have lived in the city for a long time to get close to the lake and relax. Yunluo and Qingshui Tianzi walked along the winding wooden plank road on the left hand side into the lake area. The willows are drooping, the reeds are dense, and the birds are chirping from time to time from the trees on the water.

The distant mountains and nearby waters are vast and boundless, and the sunlight shines on the lake, making the floating light golden and a bit dazzling. Marble tablets are erected every few dozen meters on both sides of the plank road to guide tourists to appreciate reeds, calamus, crape myrtles, etc., and are accompanied by photos and text descriptions to introduce the local flora and fauna and the process of building the wetland park, which is very interesting.

Walking along the wooden plank road by the lake, you will be completely immersed in the beautiful scenery of vast sea of ​​clouds and withered lotus leaves. Along the way, the autumn breeze blows on your face, the fragrance is wafting from afar, and the waves of the lake hit the shore. It is really interesting and intoxicating. Before you know it, you come to Juyue Pavilion for a rest.

The so-called pavilion is a building built on a soil platform or on the water surface, and is generally open and transparent on all sides. The Juyue Pavilion is a waterside pavilion built on the water, a viewing platform facing the water on all sides, for tourists to enjoy, look out, and take a rest.

This pavilion is different from the common small pavilions. It consists of two large halls in the east and west. There is a long corridor bridge connecting the two halls, forming a dumbbell-shaped building with large ends and a thin middle.

The entire waterside pavilion is built on the lake, and three trestle bridges are built to connect it to the surrounding lakeshore. In addition, there is a water viewing pavilion on the east lakeshore, and a Xiaohe Hall on the south lake. The pavilion, pavilion, and hall are arranged in a semi-circular shape, seemingly disconnected, reflecting each other, which is spectacular.

Juyue Pavilion advocates nature and pursues simplicity. The roof is covered with thatch. The beams, columns, fences and chairs below are all made of logs. Not only are the beams carved and the buildings painted, but the chairs are also painted and the fences are not oiled, showing the original color of the wood, which can be said to be a return to nature. This simple style is completely different from the pavilions and corridors with multiple buildings, flying eaves and corners, carved beams and painted buildings.

The architectural style of this waterside pavilion is simple, but there are many couplets inside the pavilion, which visitors find very elegant and interesting. One couplet is: The reeds on both sides of the river tell the years, and the smoke and waves in the lake record the mulberry trees. Reeds are a general term for reeds, which grow by the water. This couplet seems to make people look back to the past and recall the merits of the ancestors who controlled the water and opened up the wasteland to benefit the people.

The couplet of Juyue Pavilion is: Come to enjoy the moon and lotus and have a leisurely mood, just sit by the balcony and drink tea, why bother talking about swords and flutes. Play together. This couplet seems to be tempting people to enjoy the moon and lotus without talking about the past and present, playing music and singing. Sit on the beauty in the pavilion, hold the teapot in your hand, and enjoy the bliss. The couplet of Yaoyue Pavilion is also interesting: The spring breeze blows the Chu River all the way; the autumn rain washes the Wu Mountain several times.

There are two words in the couplet, "Chu River" and "Wu Mountain", which shows that the author intends to climb to a high place and look far into the distance. He can see the two places of Wu and Chu in the southeastern region of my country from the sky. It seems that he has been trekking all the way to the edge of Chu River, and has experienced wind and rain on Wu Mountain many times before arriving at the shore of Taihu Lake, feeling like a fish in water and full of spring breeze.

The couplets in pavilions, terraces, pavilions, halls and other landscapes should usually be in line with the theme of the landscape, reflect the surrounding scenery, and inspire and inspire visitors. The above couplets can all be called Shangchen works.

There are two plaques on the waterside pavilion: one is called "Jiao Yue" and the other is called "Jiu Yue Pavilion". It indicates the theme and is the soul of this waterside pavilion, and its meaning is extremely profound.

The word "徼" in "徼月" is similar to the word "邀" in "邀请", which means to seek. "徼月" can be understood as inviting the bright moon. The builders of the waterside pavilion had a wild idea and built a pond in the pavilion specifically for the moon: in the east hall of the waterside pavilion, a large water surface is surrounded by a fence in the middle, and above the water surface, the roof is completely open.

Whenever night falls and the moon is bright in the sky, people invite the moon to come down and cast a silver light on the pool. At this moment, we lean over the railing, stretch out our hands and scoop up the bright moon in the water to enjoy it in our palms.

There is a song that goes: Hold the moon in the water, drink the wine, and be intoxicated by the moonlight to relieve your sorrow. The world is full of troubles. If people have the leisure and open-mindedness of holding the moon in the water, they will have a kind of ethereal beauty that penetrates their hearts, like a fairy, strolling on the road of life, heading towards the future, and heading for the distance.

It is said that Guanshui Pavilion was the place where Zhang Bo observed the sky and the water. The seal script couplet of Guanshui Pavilion reads: Watching the waves and opening the two gates of Pudu has benefited the people for generations; measuring the temperature and depth of the lake has benefited the people.
