Brief introduction of xiaocanglang

In the 57th year of Qianlong reign of Qing Dynasty (1792), when Alin Baozhong built Tiegong temple, it was built with reference to Canglang Pavilion in Suzhou. Its name comes from the book of songs of Chu, the fisherman: "the clear water of the waves can wash my tassels; the turbid water of the waves can wash my feet." Its pavilion faces south, half immersed in water, rectangular form, Xieshan cornice, surrounded by veranda sitting column. Under the eaves hangs the plaque of "xiaocanglang Pavilion" written by Shandong governor Jueluo chongen. Pavilion week, three lotus pond, four willow waves, small bridge water, lotus overflow. The pavilion is connected to the East-West corridor in the south, and on the corridor in the west, there is a small classical gate facing the lake, with a plaque of "xiaocanglang" hanging on the gate. The whole building borrows the scenery of the lake and mountain into the garden, which can be appreciated. Liu e, a famous novelist of the Qing Dynasty, once described the scenery he saw here in his travels to Laocan: "in front of Tiegong temple, when he looked south, he saw the Buddhist monk's building on Qianfo Mountain opposite him, alternating with the green pines and cypresses, red and red, white and snow-white, green and indigo, green and green, and the half tree red maple in it, just like a big painting of Zhao Qianli in Song Dynasty And made a screen that was tens of miles long Looking down, who knows that the clear lake is like a mirror. The reflection of Qianfo Mountain is reflected in the lake, which is very clear. The trees on the terrace are particularly brilliant. I think they are more beautiful and clear than the thousand Buddha mountain above. " Later generations will call this scene "Foshan reflection", which is a big landscape of Ming Lake. It's a beautiful place for people to drink tea. In the summer of 1804, the ninth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, Liu fenggao, the governor of Shandong Province, and tiebao, the governor and calligrapher of Shandong Province, once had a banquet here, and they were in high spirits. Liu's impromptu couplet was: "four lotus flowers, three willows, a city of mountains and half a city of lakes.". Tiebao wrote impromptu. The stone inscription of this couplet, which has been embedded on both sides of the entrance of the west corridor wall of the garden, has become a famous couplet to describe the style of the ancient city of Jinan.

The songs of Chu

"Xiaocanglang" comes from the meaning of "clear water of Canglang can wash my tassels, muddy water of Canglang can wash my feet"

From the small waves to the north, the bridge "small rainbow" reflected in the water, water waves, like a rainbow.. This is the best place to enjoy the water scenery. In front of the lotus Pavilion, there is a pool of water resources, which seems to be boundless. Before arriving at Xiangzhou, there was a sudden diversion of water. One of the tributaries came in a zigzag way. After passing the "little rainbow" and "little waves", there was a feeling that the aftertaste was not enough.

Feeling
