自然、保护与土地

Nature,Protection,and Land

半年前带学生苏州实习,有机会再次到城西北的虎丘,据说在远古时代原本是海湾中时隐时现的孤丘,称海涌山,经历代持久地营建而成名胜。过山门海涌流晖、大吴胜壤,经拥翠山庄、憨憨泉,过流纹岩的千人坐和白莲池,沿剑池风壑云泉上双井桥,到隐喻海浪如雪的雪浪亭后登顶见云岩寺塔,30 m高的小山竟迂回曲折,气象磅礴,穿越了春秋至今2000年的时光,让人由衷赞叹人工之美入天然的风景魅力。

Half a year ago,during the time I was leading the students’field trip in Suzhou,I paid another visit to the Huqiu Hill in the northwest of the city.It is said that in ancient times,it used to be a butte in the bay,called Haiyong Hill,sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.After consistent constructions and renovations one dynasty after another,it became a scenic spot.Walking through the screen wall with characters“HAIYONGLIUHUI”and the inscribed tablet“DAWUSHENGRANG”at the hill gate and passing through the Yongcui Villa and the Hanhan Spring,and then the giant rhyolite rock“A thousand people’s seat”and the White Lotus Pond,guided by the Two-well Bridge aside the Sward Pond Spring scripted with“FENGHEYUNQUAN”,you will reach the Snow-white-wave Pavilion,leading to the top,where the Yunyan Temple Pagoda stands.This round-about route on the mere 30-meter-tall hill takes one on a time-crossing trip from the age of Spring and Autumn Period 2,000 years ago to the present.One can only marvel at the glamourous fusion of man-made works and the nature.
