preface

Misty rain like Jiangnan, landscape like ink dye. It's as if you're not dry yet, but you want to wear it. The fishing boat is full of masts, mandarin ducks and harps. A light boat, a pair of oars leisurely, a soft River breeze slightly blowing Su Luo shirt A song of "sailing in the misty rain" disturbed my heartstrings. In the end, I can't forget the beauty of the ancient towns in Jiangnan. Take advantage of the clear air in autumn, then visit Wuxi and walk on the shore of Taihu Lake. Visiting Mashan, Wuxi, opened an unforgettable and interesting journey.

I went to Wuxi a few years ago. At that time, due to the lack of time, I knew about the ancient town of Dangkou in Wuxi and felt the gentle charm of Wuxi, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wuxi has always been known as the "Pearl of Taihu Lake". Because the city of Wuxi says that the beauty of Taihu Lake lies in its water. In fact, in addition to the beautiful water of Taihu Lake, Wuxi also has Lingshan scenic spot full of aura. This world-class man-made scenic spot is full of visitors because of its majestic momentum, resplendence and beauty. With aura at the foot of Lingshan mountain, many tourists from afar will choose to come one day ahead of time, just to worship in the scenic area in the early morning to show their piety. Outside the Lingshan scenic area, there are a lot of B & B hotels, but the most popular one is the insfeng B & B, where Deng Ziqi, a sweet singer, once stayed.

From ancient times to the present, people living in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River have innate talent for life aesthetics. Although the birthplace of Chinese B & B is Mogan mountain, people who have lived in the water town of Jiangnan since childhood have a high aesthetic awareness of architecture and decoration in life. Therefore, there are many characteristic B & B hotels at the foot of Lingshan mountain in Wuxi, which are all eye-catching. In Qunfeng community at the foot of Lingshan mountain, there is an art Zen style house. It is fashionable, elegant and ethereal, so it is often hard to find one.

This B & B is the home of M Vila Xiaomi, only 1km away from Lingshan scenic area. A new three story house. The whole house is mainly white, with blue and black doors and windows. It is simple and high-grade. It looks like a 3D ink painting, full of poetry. The small courtyard is surrounded by flowers and grass, which adds vitality to the White House. Not wide not narrow small yard, one side is the flower garden area, one side is the rest area.

Entering the hall, there is an L-shaped stone wall screen with a rectangular hollow hole in the middle. Through this hole, you can see the simple and warm front desk. Almost every passenger entering the door will be attracted by the stab. They need to have a look at it more. People who like photography even need to create some beautiful photos here. Opposite to the front desk is a small rest area. There is a wide area on the other side of the gate. There are plush sofas, long and narrow tables and chairs, which are mainly used for rest, reading, group building or birthday party dining area.

Up the gray and wooden stairs, the second floor is the guest room area of B & B. Every room has a good name about solar term, and every room has its own characteristics. What is worth mentioning is the origin of the name of the B & B. in fact, when you enter the B & B, you will find that many household appliances are made by Xiaomi brand. Because the landlord likes the brand of Xiaomi, she decorates her beloved B & B with Xiaomi products, so the name of the B & B is also called Xiaomi's home.

When it comes to two-story rooms, my favorite is the one in Bohemia. Wide bed, one side can be concave shape of a net red bathtub, there is a desk beside, some decorative small objects. Every corner is a background wall for taking photos. It's very beautiful. In addition, there are tatami parent-child rooms with small tents, fashionable business style and wood style rooms to meet the needs of different travelers.

On the winding stairs is a feather shaped lamp. Looking down from the top, it is also a picture with unique artistic flavor. Because the house is extremely beautiful, the pictures of the seller show are just like those of "photographers". In fact, everyone who comes here is a good photographer.

If you stay at Xiaomi's home, you can have a nutritious breakfast. You can also book a barbecue in the yard, an indoor hot pot, a cold meal, etc. With the popularity of Xiaomi's home in Wuxi's B & B circle, there is an endless stream of people who come to hold birthday parties, welcome the bride and build the Youth League. Netizens jokingly said: the most spiritual place at the foot of Lingshan mountain is Meisu, which only people who are predestined to live in.

Originally thought to be able to attract singer Deng Ziqi's B & B, it must be a tall on the United States. I didn't think it would be such a beautiful place of Zen. Although the B & B is not near, and there are no rural lakes around, all the proper decoration and aesthetic buildings enrich the feeling of "poetry and distance" in this beautiful B & B, which makes people feel calm and free.

Xiaomi, who never thought of Lei Jun, can also be a prop for decorating B & B. A seemingly ordinary B & B, but also hidden mystery, strange people sweet song Deng Ziqi also to punch. The "experience" of this B & B is also enviable, that is, it has received stars and witnessed the happy moments of millions of people. If the time is just right, we must live and enjoy aesthetic life slowly.

Fishermen's private dishes, Taihu Lake

Address: 128 Qunfeng new town, Guzhu Road, Mashan, Wuxi (close to Lingshan scenic spot) business hours: 10:00 ~ 22:00 transportation: only 354 meters away from Xiaomi's home, only 2 minutes' walk.

As the saying goes, "rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the sea to eat the sea.". When you come to Taihu Lake, you will naturally have a delicious river food. As a senior eater, I found that the smell of delicious food is extremely sensitive. It's only two minutes' walk away from the fisherman's private restaurant and Xiaomi's home. Listen to the local people say it's a very normal xibang dish. I came into the store with full expectation and found that it's actually a silver crown shop on the rating.

The antique style of the fishing village wharf covers the whole restaurant. When you enter the interior Hall of Chinese style decoration, an elegant flavor of Jiangnan comes. I've long heard that xibang dishes taste sweet and light, thick with sweet, fresh and crisp. Today, we have a dish called Taihu surf fish, which is exactly the same. The fish is fresh and delicate, the soup is thick and delicious, and the paofan is very good.

It is often said that if you have not eaten "Taihu Lake Sanbai" in Wuxi, you will not have been to Wuxi at all. From this, we can see that the delicious food we must eat in Wuxi is "Taihu Lake three white", which has already been ordered as a senior food. Taihu Lake three white, refers to the silver fish, white shrimp, white fish.

Silverfish is very small. It is often fried in Guizhou as a snack. The chefs of xibang cuisine prefer to cook the small and white silver fish with eggs to produce a mild, tender and refreshing silver fish stewed egg.

Taihu white shrimp is also very small, with a long beard on its head. In xibang dishes, most of the white prawns are cooked very light, and there will never be salt baked or choked fried. In order to maintain the delicious taste of Taihu white prawns, most of them are blanched in salted water and dipped in delicious sauces. There is a trick to eating Taihu white shrimp, that is, directly carrying the white shrimp's beard, a series of drag into the bowl, will never be less than you use a small spoon scoop. When you break the shell and eat the shrimp inside, the taste of fresh and tender q-bomb is absolutely amazing.

Taihu Lake white fish is mostly used for steaming, with local characteristics of the sauce, taste light, smooth taste, delicious meat. And the fish and the bone are separated with a flick. When eating fish, you should chew it carefully and swallow it slowly to prevent the tiny fish bones from choking your throat.

In addition to Taihu Sanbai, this private dish also has three signature dishes worth eating. The first course is Wuxi spareribs, which ranks first. The practice of xibang dish is similar to sweet and sour spareribs. Sugar and vinegar are used as auxiliary materials, and the juice is boiled slowly. The rich sugar color impregnates the spareribs, which is not only attractive in color, but also sweet and delicious in taste. It is suitable for young and old people.

For those who like to eat fish, it's especially happy to eat in this restaurant. In addition to wave fish and white fish, the store also has a spicy and salty fish beside Taihu Lake, which is also popular among diners. The size of the fish is not small, it is suitable for frying until golden, sprinkle a little salt and pepper, you can out of the pot. If you want to eat this dish, you must eat it while it's hot. Only when it tastes crisp and fragrant, can it revolve in the taste buds.

Wuxi People's breakfast, will choose the skin thin juicy small cage bag. Although it's time for dinner, I can't help but want to taste the flavor of Wuxi xiaolongbao. Compared with xiaolongbao in other places, it has thin skin and juicy juice, which combines the characteristics of Shaomai and guantangbao. First drink the soup, then eat the stuffing with the skin. It's delicious.

I thought it was a fancy food shop, but I was conquered by delicious dishes. Although the store launched a signature dish, can be called into the store must point. In fact, there are some hidden dishes, which seem to be ordinary, but actually are appetizing and slandering, such as sauced red stewed bean curd, patted cucumber, cold bean skin and so on. It is also the "Taihu Lake three white" into the top, no wonder when the guest yingmen.

When it comes to Jiangnan, I can't help thinking of the old town of "small bridge, flowing water and family". It is said that "there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below". In fact, in Jiangsu, there is another city neglected by the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is Wuxi with outstanding people. Wuxi is famous for Taihu Lake. The world knows its beauty. As everyone knows, in addition to the ancient town of water and the beautiful Taihu Lake, Wuxi also has a 5A level holy land for praying and worshiping Buddha. Here, there is a magnificent bronze Buddha, about 30 stories high, weighing 725 tons, which can be called "world-class Giant Buddha", so there is an endless stream of pilgrims.

This holy place for praying and worshiping Buddha is Lingshan Buddha located in Mashan Town, Binhu District, Wuxi. Lingshan Buddha is not a single scenic spot, it belongs to Wuxi Lingshan scenic spot. The whole Lingshan scenic area is mainly composed of Lingshan Buddha, Lingshan Vatican Palace, Wuyin Mandala, Ashoka pillar, Xiangfu temple, Jiulong Guanyu, Buddhist Museum, demon subduing relief, Baizi opera Maitreya and wuzhimen. Therefore, it takes half a day to visit Lingshan scenic spot at least and one day at most.

Before we know its name, we see its shape. If you have never heard of the famous Lingshan Buddha before you come to Mashan town in Wuxi, you will often be attracted by a huge bronze Buddha standing in the forest when you travel through the city roads. This is the open-air bronze statue of Sakyamuni in Lingshan scenic area.

Lingshan Buddha, the light of Buddha. It is magnificent and towering. Fengshui is a wonderful place for Buddhism. Thousands of pilgrims, long blessing.

It is reported that although it is called Lingshan, it is not the Lingshan in Buddhist scriptures. Lingshan in Buddhist scriptures refers to lingjiu mountain in India. The site of Lingshan Buddha is located in Mashan, Wuxi. After returning from the west, Xuanzang traveled to the southeast and saw that "the mountains and green, the scenery is extraordinary" here, which is like the spirit eagle of Xizhu. Therefore, he praised it and named it "xiaolingshan". With this origin of Buddhism, Lingshan Giant Buddha landed here.

The whole terrain of Lingshan Giant Buddha is like a "grand chair", but it is a geomantic treasure land with abundant aura. Today, the Giant Buddha stands as steady as Mount Tai, with Qinglong mountain on the left and Baihu mountain on the right, Taihu Lake in front and Lingshan mountain on the back. It is the top place of Fengshui in China.

Facing the fresh air and listening to the sound of Sanskrit, we come to the scenic spot of Lingshan. After the magnificent Wuyin mandala and the resplendent Lingshan Sanskrit palace, we finally come to the square at the foot of Lingshan Buddha. Through the square of Ashoka column, you come to the world's first palm of the Buddha's hand seal and Baizi opera Maitreya area. From here on, all the way up, you can see the believers who come to burn incense and pray.

Before many people came to Lingshan, they would tease that Lingshan Buddha is a man-made scenic spot! That's because people don't know that there is a thousand year old temple hidden in Lingshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area. This ancient temple is the Xiangfu temple that Xuanzang once visited. It is said that the temple was built during the reign of Zhenguan. In history, incense flourished and eminent monks came forth in large numbers. It is known as "the mountain is linked to Jiuling, and the law follows kindness". However, it did not escape the doom of war and was rebuilt after the reform and opening up. Only the ancient well lotus pond in the temple and the Millennium ginkgo remains behind the temple have witnessed the Millennium wind and rain of Xiangfu temple.

Along the steps continue to go up, through the Xiangfu temple came to Lingshan Buddha at the foot of the "Dengyun road.". There are 216 steps in this section, which are based on 108 worries and 108 wishes in Buddhism. It means that only after climbing this ladder can the worries be completely eliminated and the wishes be fulfilled. When you go to the top platform, there is a queue to touch the entrance of Buddhism. If you have enough time, you must line up to get in and feel the style and shock of Lingshan open-air Buddha. If you are in a hurry, you may as well go up the steps on both sides to the first platform at the foot of Lingshan Buddha. Here you can burn incense and worship, and also have a panoramic view of Lingshan scenic spot from the perspective of God. A close look at the splendor and a distant view of the majestic spectacle.

Follow the way you came, all the way down, back to Ayu square. Cross the park road straight down, you come to the location of the relief. The relief is made of a complete piece of red copper, 8 meters high and 26 meters wide, which records the story of the Buddha's conquering the devil and becoming a Taoist. If you are a Buddhist lover, you will know the fun.

Facing the relief is Jiulong Guanyu square. In the center of the square stands a huge stone pillar shaped like a lotus lamp. There is a giant lotus pagoda on the top of the stone pillar, in which there is a gold-plated Buddha statue of the crown prince. The lotus tower is supported by four Hercules, with a white round marble pool at the bottom. Nine flying dragons and eight different donors surround the huge pool.

When the music of "Buddha's birthday" sounded in the square, the huge six lotus petals slowly opened, and a 7.2-meter-high gilt Buddha slowly leaped out, one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the ground. At this time, Jiulong sprayed a 10 meter high water column towards the gilded Buddha, just like the prince Buddha Bathing. Later, the statue of Buddha of the crown prince rotates clockwise for a circle, which means "the light of Buddha shines everywhere".

In the back of Jiulong Guanyu square, there are 108 Scripture turning tubes, which are the traditional Tibetan Buddhist tools. The five seal mandala of the park is just opposite here. It is 31.55 meters high and covers an area of 8000 square meters. It is majestic and magnificent. The mandala is dedicated to five Buddhas, with exquisite murals, wood carvings, and crisscross Sutra banners, reflecting the unique Tibetan Buddhist culture. Therefore, most Tibetans will come here for pilgrimage first.

Separated from the five seal Mandala, you can see the Lingshan Vatican Palace. If you look at the external architecture from a distance, it looks like a European style castle. If you join it, you will find that it is a Buddhist holy land with a combination of Chinese and Western culture. The whole Vatican Palace building is magnificent, solemn and harmonious layout, with a total construction area of more than 70000 square meters. It is a comprehensive cultural building integrating tourism, exhibition, performance and conference.

Entering the inside of the Vatican Palace is like coming to the treasure house in a movie and TV play. The magnificent interior blinds people. Dunhuang murals will be moved into the park and displayed in 3D, which is vivid and amazing. The whole internal passageway of the Vatican Palace is dominated by European architectural style, especially gorgeous, as well as European murals. Walking in the passageway is like being abroad.

There is a pagoda in the Vatican Palace, in which there is a Buddha statue. There is a huge night pearl on the top of the pagoda. On the top of the pagoda, the roof is facing a circular ceiling mural. In the circular ceiling mural, there is a miniature octagonal pavilion, inlaid with precious stones, murals and other exquisite decorations. It is like a passage of time and space, which is amazing.

When you go to the Vatican Palace, you must see "Ode to auspiciousness". This is a 3D Buddhist literature and art record by high-tech holographic projection, circular giant screen imaging, and deep lifting stage. It tells about the birth of the Buddha. In the whole process of interpretation, no matter where you sit, you can see beautiful performance pictures. The colorful lights render the whole stage plot. At the top, there are also the swirling Buddha murals, which are extremely beautiful and dazzling.

The landing of Lingshan Giant Buddha is a source of pride for Wuxi people. Then there was a situation of five Buddhas and five Buddhas. In the south there is the temple of heaven Buddha, in the central plains there is the Longmen Buddha, and in the north there is the Yungang Buddha. There is Leshan Buddha in the West and fanglingshan Buddha in the East. China's Buddhist culture has also risen to another height.

With the rise of rural tourism, a variety of rural B & B restaurants appeared. In Zhangqing community of Mashan Town, Wuxi, which is adjacent to Lingshan scenic spot and Nianhua Bay, there is a secret place called "forget worry Valley". Everyone who has been here will have a good time. This "worry free" place is the Shiming garden in Mashan Town, Wuxi, a small rural shop where you can pick tea, taste tea and have meals.

The elegant interior decoration of the house is amazing. The front hall is a tea house, with an open rest area in the middle. There are two private rooms in front of and behind the courtyard. The style of each room is different, including Japanese Zen style tea house, American Rural retro style tea house, Chinese garden tea house, Jiangnan Water Village tea house, wooden Zen style tea house, etc. The back hall is a dining area with independent private rooms and strong privacy. In short, shimingyuan is a "worry free" teahouse that lives in seclusion in the mountains. There is no car or dog barking in the city, only the pleasant singing of birds and insects. It's a secret place to enjoy afternoon tea and discuss work.

In the side of the dining room, there is also a sterile Tea Workshop. If you are in the time of picking tea, you can also experience the pleasure of picking and making tea here. He lives deep in the countryside and doesn't know much about foreign affairs. Sitting alone in the bamboo grove, playing the piano and howling. A taste of tea culture, slow taste of rural interest. Walk into the garden and enjoy the time.

In Mashan, Wuxi, there are not only the world-famous Taihu Lake, but also the Lingshan Buddha, the idyllic country tea house and the nianhuawan Zen town.

Nianhua Bay, a place that is happy to hear its name, where is the scenery? Nianhua Bay is an artificial Zen Town, with clear space, pure land and pure water as the core of the park. It is committed to creating a Zen aesthetic lifestyle for people. It is quiet, elegant, refined and interesting.

The origin of the name Nianhua is naturally related to the Zen of Buddhism. This is a classic story about Buddha picking flowers and JIAYE smiling at Lingshan meeting. The architecture of the whole town is similar to Nara in Japan. In fact, it is a Chinese style architecture of Tang and Song dynasties. The gardens of the whole park are mainly in the style of Jiangnan gardens, and some Japanese courtyard styles are integrated.

Nianhua Bay, in the form of "five petals of Lotus", presents the pattern of "five grains", "one street" and "one hall". Among them, "five cereals" are Yunmen Valley, Zhuxi Valley, gingko Valley, Zen heart Valley and Luming valley. There are thousands of sceneries throughout the year“ "One street" is xiangyuehua street in the center of Lianhua, which is also the core area of Nianhua town“ "Yitang" is Xushan great Chan hall, which is a large-scale meditation site.

"Autumn is better than a bleak season, but the sea of Fantian flowers in Nianhua Bay seems to bring people back to the spring of thousands of flowers.

There are pink and black ragweed, Verbena, cosmos, etc. they are colorful and delicate, just like a colorful carpet under the green. This is a sea of flowers and a world of people.

It can be divided into several halls, where you can write sutras and make suggested handicrafts, such as making round fans, making wreaths, drawing cloth bags and lanterns. It can not only cultivate sentiment, but also calm down, which is deeply loved by people.

With the lights on, it's the most beautiful time of the day in Nianhua Bay.

In the streets with dim lights, Sanskrit sounds are curling. The wonderful performances of "Nianhua tower lighting ceremony", "flowers without leaves" and "Nianhua Yixiao" are on stage.

One flower, one world, one building, one life. This is a B & B brand that brings Zen style residence into the scenic area. Whenever I come to a strange place and don't want to spend more time choosing accommodation, I will give priority to Huazhu. Looking back on the past journey, the first time I lived in Huazhu was in Lijiang ancient town, a romantic ancient town.

Most of the memories of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River originate from the epitome of poetry. As a result, the memory of Jiangnan has always stayed in the "small bridge and flowing water family". I don't know that Wuxi, as the central city of the Yangtze River Delta, is actually a land rich in fruits. The autumn wind is blowing, and the oranges in Mashan orchard in Wuxi are red. For orange control, you must pick them by hand, so that you can feel sweet in your mouth.

On the way, I saw that there were orange trees beside many farmyards in Mashan town. Now it is the harvest season. They are full of fruits and are salivating. In Mashan, Wuxi, there are many orchards to experience picking. We went to the four seasons picking garden recommended by local people. There are fruits to pick all the year round. If you worry about whether there are seasonal fruits in the orchard, you might as well choose this one.

Through the gate of the orchard, we walked into the orchard. On a wide land, dense orange trees scattered in the field. Every orange tree is full of fruits. Some even bend the waist of the tree and fall to the ground with its branches and leaves. The secret of picking oranges, as an orange controller, has been known for a long time. The pithy formula for picking oranges is "picking small but not big, pinching soft and avoiding hard, thin skin and sweeter fruit". Although the fruit forest, some trees have huge fruit, but the skin is very thick, but also very tight, more than a dozen are not fully mature, the flesh is still with sour. However, the fruits that look half smaller are golden, thin skinned, sweet and delicious.

If you want to take it away after picking, you must find the professional scissors in the park, so that the oranges can be put for half a month. Peel off a golden orange, a faint fragrance, refreshing, white texture, red flesh leaked out, into a piece of import, mouth full of sweet juice, moisten the dry cough mulberry, aftertaste.

The mountain breeze blows slightly and the autumn sun is warm. In this orange garden, we all go east and West, choosing the fruits we like and feeling the joy of rural harvest. The young ladies liberated their nature. They picked up a basket of oranges with their bare hands and changed their posture for a round of clapping. It's almost noon. Is lunch an orange feast? Of course not. Lunch is hidden in the next secret base.

Today's urban tourists' weekends include not only sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, visiting their former residences, but also walking into the countryside to get close to nature. There is a saying that "when we grow up, our hometown becomes our hometown, and we all become kite chasers.". Even if you have passed thousands of rivers and mountains and eaten delicacies, you will be moved by a hot firewood meal.

In my childhood memory, three meals a day and four seasons were all cooked by my mother busy in front of the stove and my father busy ordering firewood. Nowadays, with the rapid development of modern technology and intelligence, the new countryside is also undergoing great changes. Every village has access to natural gas, and it is not easy to have a firewood meal. Probably due to these reasons, more and more people enjoy picnics in the expansion base.

All the credit comes from a decathlon chef Yang in the team. Looking at a table of delicious food, everyone has contributed a part of the labor, the food tastes very delicious.

This Muwan orchard is an outdoor leisure resort integrating picking, picnics and expansion.

Entering the park, I met a company engaged in outward bound training here. Although it's not the right time to watch the dragon boat race, as a tourist, you can still go boating on Taihu Lake and feel the beauty of Taihu Lake. In addition to dragon boat rowing, the park can also fish, climb rocks, play real-life games, challenge walking steel, self-service barbecue, etc.

Wuxi after autumn, sunny, not noisy, is a good time to bask in the sun. Sitting on the edge of Taihu Lake, fishing in Buddhism, brewing a cup of tea, such a day, perhaps is the poet's vision of seclusion life. It's a pity that we didn't find it before. Otherwise, we would have time to experience the pleasure of boating in Taihu Lake. Every journey, always bring a little legacy, only next time to experience.

In the season of knowing autumn, the "autumn girl" on the edge of Taihu Lake has a long way to go. Summer flowers are still gorgeous, the fragrance of flowers pervades the street, and a green lake is as quiet and picturesque as the gorgeous sea of flowers. The fragrance of the flowers drifts with the wind. The faint fragrance penetrates through the cracks of the woods and gets into my breath. Suddenly, I turn my head and the flowers are smiling at me.

Along the Taihu Lake Tour trail, along the asphalt road, I ran into an unknown sea of flowers. Behind the lush treetops, on the flat slope, the green is like brocade, and all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, just like a large jade inlaid with all kinds of strange treasures and stones.

Where there is a sea of flowers, there is a "Silk Scarf lady" in the world. Maybe it's not well-known here, so it's hard to find, so there are only a few people in the sea of flowers. Except for some young families of three and little lovers, there are almost no traces of "silk scarves". If you want to shoot a group of beautiful portraits under the warm autumn sun, you might as well come here to see the beauty of the flower sea.

On the Bank of Taihu Lake, flowers bloom on the other side of the lake, and the green forest is full of lonely fragrance. Colorful sea of flowers, amazing whose time, gentle whose years?

Former residence of Xu Shuwei

Xu Shuwei's former residence tips: Address: xiaoshuwan, Southeast of Binhu District, Wuxi City opening hours: all day admission: no transportation: self driving, no direct public transportation

The beauty of Mashan in Wuxi is not only the landscape, but also the rich cultural landscape. In the past and in the present, scholars like to go back to the mountains and forests. Jiangnan has a mild climate and beautiful scenery, so it is a treasure land of geomantic omen. I never thought that there was a former residence of famous people in the Southern Song Dynasty hidden in Mashan Town, Wuxi. In the past, the family status of four scholars was particularly impressive. It can be seen that Xu Shuwei, a famous doctor in the Southern Song Dynasty, was extremely noble at that time.

When it comes to the famous doctors in Treatise on febrile diseases, are you familiar with them? Xu Shuwei is one of the eight scholars in the study of typhoid fever in Song Dynasty, and he is also the founder of classical prescription School of traditional Chinese medicine. In his early years, he lost his parents and became an orphan. With the help of his family, he studied hard and became a famous doctor. He was an official in the same Dynasty with Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. After Yue Fei's death, he and Han Shizhong lived in seclusion beside Taihu Lake. We often meet for tea, drink and talk, and cherish each other. The home of his seclusion is now Meiliang Xiaoyin in Xiaoshu Bay, southeast corner of Mashan Island, Wuxi.

Before entering Xu Shuwei's former residence, there was a round hole beside the square full of weeds. At first I thought there were "sewers" in the wilderness? After a closer look, we found that this is a well. It is reported that the well, named "yajiaotan", was the water source for Xu Shuwei to fry herbs. Through the steps covered with weeds and the shade of vines, the doorplate of the courtyard with grey walls and tiles is engraved with "Meiliang Xiaoyin".

After the changes of the times and the destruction of wars and wars, there are more than 30 original buildings in the former residence, and now only one is in the second courtyard. In 1982, the local government renovated it, and the next year it became a municipal cultural relics protection unit. Now the door is closed, and you can only see the elegance and delicacy of the garden through the narrow cracks in the door and the carved windows. The house is surrounded by green plants. When you go to the highest part of the hillside, you can have a view of Taihu Lake. The mottled stone carvings in the corner tell the story of the past years. The elegant dwelling in the deep valley, though well-known, has been neglected. Only people like me who love the beauty of human culture come to explore. Although it's a pity that I didn't get started, the beautiful scenery on the way is enough to comfort my body and mind.

Postscript

The beauty of mountains and rivers is abundant between heaven and earth; The beauty of the ancient town lies in its charm; The beauty of Jiangnan lies in the four seasons. Entering Jiangsu, the beautiful shore of Taihu Lake, and the Zen aesthetics around Mashan, Wuxi, make people feel relaxed and happy, and forget to return.
