For hundreds of years, the proverb “there is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below” has been widely circulated. “Heaven on earth” is still a good name for Hangzhou by people at home and abroad. One end is connected to Hangzhou West Lake, known as the “paradise on earth,” and the other is connected to the Huangshan Mountain in Anhui, which is known as “Returning without looking at the mountains.” A “exquisitely beautiful” Fuchun River wanders among the mountains like a green streamer. This is the Fuchun River in the painting city of Tonglu, the “most beautiful county in China”. The endless Fuchun landscape and the endless poetry and paintings of Tonglu. Speaking of Tonglu, the Fuchun River is definitely a scenic spot that cannot be bypassed. This is the site of the famous Yuan Dynasty landscape painter Huang Gongwang’s painting “Living in Fuchun Mountain”. Fuchun River is famous for its “exotic mountains and different waters, unique in the world”. The picture of Fuchun Mountain Residence depicts the early autumn scenery on both sides of Fuchun Mountain in Zhejiang. Huang Gongwang spent three or four years in drawing the long scroll “Fuchun Mountain Residence Picture”, which fixed the most beautiful section of the Fuchun River in eternal time and space.

Because Tonglu is located in the “three rivers and two lakes” Xin’an River, Fuchun River and Qiantang River, West Lake and Qiandao Lake in the prime location, the profound culture and quiet and beautiful scenery also make Tonglu known as the “Chinese Painting City”. The Fuchun River is located in the middle reaches of the Qiantang River. The section of the Qiantang River that flows eastward from Fuyang to Tonglu is the Fuchun River. The Fuchun River is 110 kilometers long. With the stalwart shore of the mountains, the momentum of the stone, and the charm of the water, the beauty of the forest, the green hills and the turquoise rivers interweave each other to form a Chinese Zen-like landscape painting. Such a poetic and picturesque scenery is naturally indispensable for the footprints of literati. “The world’s beautiful landscapes, ancient and modern push Fuchun.” Wu Huan in the Yuan Dynasty praised the beauty of Fuchun River with these words. “It’s not the Li River, it’s better than the Li River.” This is today’s evaluation of the Fuchun River, and it is called the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the Lijiang River in Guilin as the three most famous river scenic tours in my country. There are not only beautiful natural scenery, but also rich historical allusions.

Ziling Gorge, Zixu Gorge and Longmen Gorge are collectively called the “Fuchun River Small Three Gorges”. The Small Three Gorges of the Fuchun River is the most beautiful section on the Fuchun River. With a total length of 24 kilometers, the river is as green as a jade, flowing like a green brocade. Longmen Gorge runs from Qililongkou to Yanziling Fishing Platform. The mountains in the Gorge are high and deep, the peaks are facing each other, the river surface is stretched, and the water is gentle. Ziling Gorge is the deepest and most beautiful gorge in the Small Three Gorges of Fuchun River, with the longest tour route. The two mountains in the gorge rise from the water and the cliffs on both sides of the gorge. Zixu Gorge is 8 kilometers long from Zixudu to Sanjiangkou. It was named after Wu Zixu ferryed here during the Spring and Autumn Period. The river here is deep and tortuous, the ancient trees on the mountains are tall and straight, the green bamboos are slender, the mountains are filled with water, and the water overflows with beauty.

There are green mountains and green waters on both sides of the Fuchun River, roaming in this naturally constructed world, it is enough to feel the wonderful metaphor of “you want to visit the small Three Gorges without visiting the Yangtze River” in the small Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Leaving aside the historical and cultural heritage, just talk about the beauty of the Fuchun River’s landscape and beauty. The water here is particularly clear. Taking a boat down the river, there is a kind of artistic conception of “walking to the poor water and sitting and watching the clouds rise”. Both sides of the strait are crisp and verdant, the air is intoxicating, as if a person is swimming in the middle of a painting, and the boat is on the river, and there is a poetic and picturesque image of “people walking in the mirror, birds in the screen”.

Relying on the Fuchun landscape “unique to the southeast”, it also attracted many literati and writers to write many magnificent poems. Southern Dynasty writer Wu Jun once praised Fuchun River in his “Book of Thoughts with Zhu Yuan”: “From Fuyang to Tonglu a hundred miles, strange mountains and waters, unique in the world.” As the country’s top ten “diaotai” historic sites The Yanziling Fishing Platform at the top is one of the main scenic spots on the Fuchun River, and it is also a place that literati and inkmen of the past dynasties miss. Many cultural celebrities such as: Li Bai, Su Shi, Lu You, Fan Zhongyan, Meng Haoran, Li Qingzhao, Zhu Xi, Kang Youwei, Yu Dafu, Zhang Daqian, Guo Moruo, Ba Jin, etc. have come to the Diaoyutai to express the Chinese chapter poems of Fuchunjiang and Yan Ziling Diaotai, leaving behind A lot of poems and essays.

Looking into the distance, Huang Gongwang, one of the four great painters in the Yuan Dynasty, lived in Fuchun in seclusion, and spent several years drawing a picture of “Living in Fuchun Mountain”. This historical masterpiece has gone through the vicissitudes of life, and it was almost turned into ashes as a burial object of the rich. Now this two-part picture scroll is hidden in museums in mainland China and Taiwan. The beautiful landscape and the dazzling cultural monuments complement each other. You can not only feel the influence of history and culture, but also appreciate the thousand-year-old landscape. If you have a leisure time, you can also hold a rod of green bamboo and fish in the Fuchun River, and feel the Yan Ziling’s return to Fuchun River. State of mind.
