Infinite Streamer

At this time, the pleasure boat had already stopped, and servants were delivering wine and food to the boat from a distance. The red-shirted beauty said softly, "Mr. Lin, you are too kind! I am Li Yi'an, and I am just expressing my feelings. The wine and food are ready, please come aboard, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Chong thought to himself that it was indeed Li Qingzhao, who was known as "the most talented woman of all time", and then he moved and boarded the pleasure boat.

Li Qingzhao (March 1084, 3 - May 13, 1155) was 5 years old at this time. She was called Yi'an Jushi, Han nationality, and was born in Zhangqiu, Jinan, Shandong Province. She was a female poet in the Song Dynasty (at the turn of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties) and a representative of the graceful poetry school. She lived a very affluent life in her early years. Li Qingzhao was born into a family of scholars. Her father, Li Gefei, had a rich collection of books. She laid an excellent literary foundation in a good family environment since she was a child.

Li Qingzhao said softly, "Mr. Lin, why don't you go to Xiaoyingzhou, the pearl of West Lake, to enjoy the moon? You can also see the Lake Center Pavilion and Ruan Gongdun along the way before it gets dark."

Lin Chong clasped his fists and said, "The guest follows the host's wishes. Thank you for your help!"

The boatman steered the pleasure boat slowly towards the pavilion in the center of the lake. Sitting on the pleasure boat, Lin Chong looked at the colorful flowers, willows and shimmering water along the way from afar.

The maids and servants have already prepared the wine and food.

"Mr. Lin, please take a seat. Your accent sounds very familiar. May I know where the fairyland is?"

"My ancestors lived in Licheng, Qizhou, and now I live in Liangshanpo, Yanzhou."

"Oh, no wonder, we really met a fellow villager! My ancestors lived in Zhangqiu, Qizhou. My father was a disciple of Mr. Dongpo. He passed the imperial examination and followed Mr. Dongpo here. He is currently serving as the military officer of Lin'an Prefecture."

Lin Chong said: "When you meet a fellow countryman in a foreign land, don't feel sad when you meet him! When you talk about sad things, don't shed tears."

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Mr. Lin, you are joking! We are about to reach Xiaoying Island! Mr. Lin, please feel free to have some wine and food!"

Lin Chong could not let the beauty down, so he pretended to eat some food and wine casually, watching the pleasure boat sail past the picturesque pavilion in the center of the lake and head towards the three pagodas. The red sunset was setting and the sky was gradually getting dark.

Xiaoyingzhou, also known as Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and is known as the "first scenic spot in West Lake". Three Pools Mirroring the Moon is the largest island in West Lake, with beautiful scenery and quiet views. The Three Pools Mirroring the Moon is especially famous both at home and abroad, and is also used as the pattern on the back of the 1 yuan banknote of the fifth set of RMB in my country.

On the lakeside, golden osmanthus trees, green willows and bright flowers complement the buildings with carved railings and painted buildings. There are islands in the lake, lakes in the islands, and gardens in the gardens. The scenery is ever-changing and new as you walk.

The Three Pools Mirroring the Moon Island, the Lake Center Pavilion and Ruan Gongdun are called the "Three Islands in the Lake", just like the three Penglai Islands in ancient Chinese legends, so it is also called Xiaoyingzhou. It is shaded by green trees and lush flowers and trees. Willows on the lakeside are swaying in the waves, and pavilions are reflected on the water surface; the garden is rich in spatial level changes, creating a realm of "lake in the lake", "island in the island" and "garden in the garden".

Lin Chong watched the moon gradually rise. The maid lit a candle in the tower. The shape of the candle was reflected on the lake, which was extremely dim and emitted a blurred color.

The pleasure boat moved a little further away, and we could see that each of the three stone towers had five small round holes. At this time, candles were lit in the round towers, and the holes were covered with peach blossom paper. The candlelight shone through the round holes, and from a distance, they looked no different from the moon. In this way, each tower had five "small moons", and the three towers had 5; reflected in the water, that was 5 "small moons". There were also two moons, one was the real moon in the sky, and the other was the big moon reflected in the water, showing many moons, and it was really difficult to distinguish between the real moon and the fake moon. The night view of the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon was really charming.
