Xi historical site

Xiaxishi Temple in Zhuluo Mountain, Zhuji

Later generations built the Hall of Xishi at the foot of Zhuluo Mountain in Zhuji to commemorate this peerless beauty who endured humiliation and devoted herself to death. Later, the poetess Yu wrote another poem called "Stone Temple". This is the earliest writing about the stone temple that can be seen at present. In the Ming Dynasty, Xizi Temple had a considerable scale. Since then, it has been repeated like this. The foundation stone of Xi Shi Hall was laid on 1986 and completed on1October 7 1990. Covering an area of 5,000 square meters, the scenic spot consists of the gatehouse, Xishitang, Gu Yue Terrace, Zhengdanting, the stele gallery, the red pink pond, the sunken fish pond, the fairy pavilion and other scenic spots. During the reconstruction process, Xishi Temple Scenic Area also collected12,000 pieces of ancient architectural components removed from old houses, including beams, columns, doors, windows, brackets, square clearing, bucket arches, sparrow replacement and so on. These wood and stone components are exquisitely carved and exquisitely crafted. After careful collocation and rational utilization by designers, the historical and cultural connotation and ornamental value of Xi Stone Hall are undoubtedly greatly enhanced, making it more local.

The gatehouse of the scenic spot is shaped like a memorial archway, with three arched doors painted in scarlet among four green stone pillars, which gives people the first impression of simplicity and solemnity. As the main building, the stone shrine has absorbed the architectural techniques of traditional palaces and folk ancestral halls, and raised the pedestal of the main hall. The arch bridge is the main axis in front of the main hall, and it is equipped with a pool and east and west wings. This structure not only ensures the volume of the main hall, but also avoids rigidity, changeable opening and closing, and uneven height. The stone statue in the main hall (80 cm in height, 280 cm in height) is elegant and graceful, sitting in the hall.

On the right side of Xishi Temple, facing the gatehouse is Guyuetai, which is divided into upper and lower floors. Upstairs are Gou Jian, King of Yue, and his two advisers, Wen Zi and Fan Li. The lower floor is the story exhibition hall of "Western Practice". The pavilion far away from the stone hall was built to commemorate the beautiful women who entered Wu with the stone. The corridor of Xizi Monument is located on the left side of Zheng Danting, which is built on the mountain. All kinds of portraits made by Chinese and foreign painters for poems by literati in past dynasties are listed here. At the end of the stele gallery is the highest point of the whole scenic spot, with a panoramic view of the Huansha River and the hometown of Zheng Dan on the other side-Luciwan Village. Pass through the newly-built Torreya grandis Pavilion and Pearl Pavilion, go out of the door, and go down from the Huansha Pavilion to the Huansha Stone. It is said that Shi came here to wash the yarn. After 2500 years of vicissitudes, the past scenery has long gone, but the word "Huansha" in Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is still in sight.

14 monuments that have been handed down for thousands of years.

2 kilometers northeast of Linpu Town, there is a Moluo Mountain. There is a 2.5-kilometer-long Huansha River to the west of the mountain. On both sides of this stream, there are 14 stone historical sites, such as Stone Temple, Zhuluo Pavilion, Temple, Qibu Temple and Yumei Stone Gate. Up to now, a stone tablet of the imperial edict of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty has been preserved in the pink building Xishi Temple near Huanshaxi. In ancient place names and historical documents, "Zhuluo Village" and "Shijiadu" are closely related to stones. In the north of Linpu Town, there is a Shijiadu village. Most villages belong to the Shi family, which is said to be the birthplace of Shi. There are also many folk activities about history in Linpu. On the last day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the annual Lotus Lantern Festival was held in Hengyi Village to commemorate the teacher and her sister. This custom has been circulating for nearly 900 years. Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, it is said that it is Shi's birthday. On this day, not only Linpu, but also pilgrims from Xiaoshan, Shaoxing and other places came to the stone temple to make pilgrimages, which is still enduring.

Delineate a 3.95-square-kilometer historic site protection area.

Linpu Xishi Monument Group is a Xiaoshan district-level cultural protection unit, and the legend of Linpu Xishi was also included in the intangible cultural heritage list of Hangzhou in 2007.

In addition, Linpu folk artists also compiled six monographs on history and culture according to the stories of history circulating in Linpu. Linpu also invested more than 30 million yuan to protect and repair the historical sites of Xishi and built the Xishi Park. However, the historical sites of Xi Shi in Linpu 14 are generally scattered, and legends and stories cannot form tangible resources that can be seen and used.

The newly released Master Plan for the Protection and Tourism Development of Xishi Monument Group in Linpu has designated Xishi Monument Protection Area with an area of 3.95 square kilometers, including 14 Xishi Monument Group, Wan Li Tonggu Village, Lotus Lantern Festival and other folk activities and local famous products. In addition, quarrying, vegetation restoration and landscape creation will be prohibited in the surrounding environment of the reserve. In the 3.95-square-kilometer protected area, around "one mountain and one water", namely Zhuluo Mountain and Huansha River, Xishi Cultural Experience Center, Huansha River Scenic Area, Xishi Rural Leisure Area and Zhuluo Business Resort will be built. In the future, Linpu Xi Shi Monument Group will become one of the exhibition bases of China Xi Shi culture and one of the important nodes of Xi Shi's legendary experience tourism. At the same time, it has become a comprehensive cultural and leisure tourist area integrating sightseeing, experience, leisure and vacation in Hangzhou.

Focus on the image of "girl beauty"

There are many stone-themed scenic spots in China. Zhuji Xishi's hometown scenic spot, Yixing Xishi Cave scenic spot and Wuxi Xishi Zhuang scenic spot take "concubine Xishi", "hermit Xishi" and "love story between Fan Li and Xishi" as tourism selling points respectively. There are "Xishi Street" in Singapore, "Xishi Shop" in South Korea, and "Xishi Festival" is held every year in Akita, Japan to select Miss Xishi. The stone scenic area to be built in Linpu is based on the theme of "the beauty of girls" and developed in a staggered way. So far, Linpu has held three academic seminars on Linpu and Xi Shi. Some experts said that both Linpu and Zhuji have historical sites of Xi Shi, but they should complement each other and share resources, and should not be exclusive. In the future, scenic spots related to Xi Stone Culture in Linpu, Zhuji, Jiaxing and Suzhou will be combined into a regional tourist route.
