历山秋眺

Autumn Views from Mount Li

尽管济南人仍习惯地将它称为千佛山,而它最具光彩和自豪感的名字却是历山,或者,舜耕山。山不算大,但古朴,优雅,你顺着西边的山路往上走,首先看到的,是唐槐亭。此处原为曾公祠(曾巩对济南的贡献真是千古一人,纪念他最为得当),后为胡国公祠。如今改为唐槐亭,真是越改越缩小了意义;接着,齐烟九点、仰观俯察、云径禅关、峰回路转等坊,那是绝妙好词对应着恰如其分的绝妙好景的。兴国禅寺不大,但有韵味,给济南人的感觉如同趵突泉的东门,虽则旧,虽则小,但那雅致超逸的味道,却是任何的高门崇楼所不能取代的。

Although people in Jinan commonly refer to it as Thousand Buddha Mountain,its most glamorous and proud name is Mount Li,or Mount Shun.The mountain isn't big,but it's ancient and elegant.As you ascend the western side of the mountain,the first thing you encounter is the Tanghuai Pavilion.This place was originally the Zeng Gong Shrine,later transformed into the Hu Guo Gong Shrine.Now renamed as Tanghuai Pavilion,the significance seems to have dwindled with each change.Then come the‘Nine Points of Qi Smoke',‘Observing High and Low',‘Cloud Path Zen Gate',‘Peaks and Turns'and other pavilions,each name corresponds perfectly to its exquisite scenery.Xing Guo Zen Temple is not large,but it has a certain charm.To the people of Jinan,it gives a feeling similar to the East Gate of Baotu Spring.Though old and small.
