  24. Passage 2 Quyuan’s Temple and Quyuan’s Birth Place----Lepingli

  25. Quyuan’s temple is also called Qingliegong temple .It is located in Guizhou town . In fact ,the original temple was built on Quyuantuo (a little hill) which is 5 li away from Guizhou in the east,at the bank of the Yangtze River. It was said that when Quyuan drowned himself in the Miluo River, a huge divine fish carried his body back to his hometown. It was at this place that the folks found the fish and Quyuan’s body, so Quyuan’s tomb and temple were built here.

  26. That was in the Yuanhe.That was in the Yuanhe 15th year of the Tang dynasty (820 AD) and it has been there for more than 1200 years so far. As the Three Gorges Dam has been being built in Zigui, Quyuan’s temple was then moved to Guizhou and rebuilt newly at the end of 20th century.

  27. The new temple leans against a big mountain and faces to the Yangtze River. It is surrounded by green orange trees and cypress trees. It covers 14,000 hectares.The temple includes Shanmen(a memorial archway) ,a bronze statue of Quyuan , a corridor , a display house and Quyuan’s tomb in which his clothes only were berried. These five constituent parts are placed in a series along the mountain. They look simple, quiet, and solemn .

  28. Shanmen is a forecourt of the temple and is enclosed on three sides with porticoes. The great Chinese revolutionist and modern poet Guo Moruo’s original handwriting of Chinese words “Quyuan’s Temple” is set at the top of it. On the left and the right sides, there are Chinese words “Guozhong”, which means Quyuan was absolutely loyal to his king , and “Liufang”, which means Quyuan left a good name for a hundred generations . The whole archway is quilt, unostentatious, elegant and magnificent.

  29. The bronze statue stands at the middle yard of the temple. It’s 3.92 meters high. You can see Quyuan lowers his head slightly with brows frowning, his body bends forward and his right feet is out as if he is taking a walk . From the statue we can feel his deep love to his people and his absolute loyalty to his country. On the steles of the corridor, Quyuan’s main poetic works “Lisao ”,“Tianwen”, “ Jiuge” and“ Jiuzhang” etc. are enchased and you can also see the works of some other famous poems in various Chinese dynasties .

  30. Lepingli is Quyuan’s birth place. It’s located at the bank of the beautiful Xiangxi River . Plenty of Quyuan’s ruins and remains are preserved well, such as Quyuan’s house, Quyuan’s temple and Lepingli archway. 8 scenery spots about Quyuan are even more famous----Reading Hole, Mirror Well, Corn Field ,Drum Platform and Dropping Pearl Rock, Tiger Clock, Sound Drum Rock and Dragon Blocking Water. In Quyuan’s hometown, the natural scenery spots are famous because of him; the customs are formed because of him, even birds and fishes

  31. are relative to him . It is called a Quyuan’s system. In the folks’ heart, he was not a human being, but a saint and a celestial being . There are many popular legends about him. Now, I’ll tell you two legendary stories. In Lepingli, there is a well named Mirror Well. It is made of stones. Two big trees are standing on both sides of it and a stele stands in front of it. There is a jet of fountain coming out from a little hole and flowing into the well. The water tastes cool and sweet.

  32. It is said that Quyuan went to the Mirror Well every morning after he got up, he freshened himself up there. Later on, the folks found that this well could distinguish between good and bad. When a bad one stood at the well, he would shake and felt frightened.As the saying goes:“The Mirror Well makes rascals frightened.” There is a bird named “Brother Back” in Quyuan’s hometown. It has a red mouth and dark green feathers and it’s crying sounds like “brother back”. It is said that this bird is the incarnation of Quyuan’s sister. Quyuan’s sister was a lovely girl, and she sang

  33. and wove well. When she was 18, she heard that her brother Quyuan drowned himself into the Milo River.She was terribly sad and she went to the peak of the Jiuling Mountain and shouted ceaselessly: “My brother comes back , my brother comes back”. She cried and cried and suddenly she turned into a beautiful bird flying to the southeast. On the Dragon Boat Festival every year, this bird will come back to Zigui to cry sadly “brother back , brother back……” All these beautiful stories are spread to express people’s missing and admiring to this great poet.

  38. Translation: 屈原祠和屈原故里 ---乐坪里 屈原祠又名清烈公祠位于秭归县归州镇境内。实际上,最早的屈原祠建在离归州城东5里外的长江边上一个叫“屈原砣”的小山丘上。据说屈原投汩罗江后,一条巨大的神鱼背着他的遗体往家乡游,就在屈原砣家乡人发现了神鱼和屈原的遗体,因而就在这里修建了屈原墓和屈原祠。屈原祠始建于唐元和十五年,迄今已有1200多年的历史。在二十世纪末,随着三峡大坝在秭归的修建,屈原祠被迁到归州重新修复。

  39. 新的屈原祠倚山面江,环绕在柑桔林和翠柏之中,占地14000公顷。屈原祠包括山门、屈原青铜像、碑廊、陈列馆、屈子衣冠冢,五大部分依山排列,古朴清幽、壮观肃穆。 山门在祠的前厅,三面都有柱廊围绕。中国伟大的革命家和诗人郭沫若先生的手书 “屈原祠”三个大字悬挂在山门上方正中。“孤忠”“流芳”分嵌在左右两边,“孤忠”意思是屈原对当时的君王忠心耿耿;“流芳”意思是说屈原的精神会流芳百世。整个山门看起来静谧,朴实,高洁,庄严。 屈原青铜像矗立在屈原祠中心的院子里,它高3.92米。你看,屈原头微低,眉头紧锁,身体前倾,迈动右脚,象在漫步。从铜像上我们可以看到屈原的深深爱民之情和对国家的绝对忠诚。

  40. 碑廊的石碑上,镌刻有屈原《离骚》、《九歌》、《九章》、《天问》等诗作和历代文人墨客的诗句 。 乐平里是屈原的诞生地,位于美丽的香溪河畔。这儿保存着大量关于屈原的遗迹遗址,如屈原宅、屈原庙、乐平里牌坊等,其中以“屈原八景”尤为有名:读书洞、照面井、玉米田、擂鼓台、滴帘珍珠、伏虎降钟、响鼓岩、回龙锁水。 在屈原的家乡,景点因屈原而出名,风俗因屈原而形成,甚至于鸟和鱼都和屈原有关,形成了“屈原 系列”。在家乡人民的心中,他不是普通人,他是圣,他是神。这儿有很多关于屈原的传奇故事,让我们来看看两个其中的两个吧。 在乐平里,有一口井叫“照面井”,它由石头彻成。两棵大树分立两边,一块石碑立在中间。有一股泉水从洞中流到井中,泉水清凉甘甜。

  41. 相传屈原每天起床后都到井边洗梳。 后来人们发现照面井能分忠奸,坏人站在井边会发抖胆寒。正如谚语所说:“照面井寒奸佞胆!” 在屈原的家乡,有一种鸟名叫“我哥回”。它长着红色的嘴和墨绿色的羽毛,它的叫声听起来象“我哥回来哟!”据说这种鸟是屈原妹妹的化生。屈原的妹妹是个可爱的女孩,她歌唱得好,布织得好。在她18岁那年,听说哥哥屈原投汩罗江自尽,她伤心欲绝,跑到九岭山顶上不停地呼唤:“我哥回来哟!” “我哥回来哟!”……她喊呀喊呀,突然她变成一只美丽的鸟儿飞向东南方。每年端午节,这种鸟儿就会飞回秭归,不停地悲鸣:“我哥回来哟!” “我哥回来哟!” 这些故事的流传表达了人们对这位伟大诗人的思念和崇敬之情。 back to main page

  42. Passage 3 Sixi and Jiuwanxi 泗溪-竹海泛舟

  43. Sixi, a famous scenic area in Zigui county, is called “a natural oxygen bar” by tourists . It is 12 kilometers away from the Three Gorges Dam. “Wanmuzhuhai” (a huge garden in which ten thousand mu of bamboos are growing) is the first wonderful sight here and it’s also the second biggest bamboo garden in China. There are more than 300 sorts of bamboos. Visitors can walk through the bamboo garden, take a rest in the bamboo hut, lie on the bamboo bed, swim and raft on the lake; you can also appreciate the local songs and dance shows.

  44. 四溪漂流 back

  45. The second wonderful sight is a waterfall named Sandiaoshui. It has a drop of 389 meters and it is one of the biggest waterfalls in Asian. There are more than 30 scenic spots here, such as the Jade Hare Summit, the Dragon Hole, the Bamboo Shoots Summit, the Maple Mountain and the Macaque Valley etc. 三吊水瀑布

  46. Here, vegetation is very rich and many rare trees are growing well. “Money Tree” is one of them. The fruit of money tree is very extraordinary. It’s round and it has a diameter of three centimeters; there is a little hole in the middle of it and it looks like Chinese ancient coin. When you shake the tree, the “money” falls down. So people call it Money Tree. There are also some rare animals living here, such as leopard cat, macaque and wild goat. They are playing in the mountain happily.

  47. 九畹溪漂流

  48. Another scenic area is Jiuwanxi. It is 20 kilometers away from the Three Gorges Dam. There is a long and beautiful brook which is divided into two parts for drifting. On the first part, two persons can share a boat drifting down the torrent, and on the second part, people can take a sightseeing boat to run across the Jiuwan valley, enjoying some startling sights such as the Land Crack ,Wangfu Stone and the Fairy Mountain. Drifting down the Jiuwanxi Brook, you can experience the flying of the boat .How dangerous and stimulative it is! So the Jiuwanxi Brook is called “the first driftage in the Three Gorges region” by Chinese and foreign tourists.

  49. Jiuwanxi used to be the place where the great patriotic poet Quyuan gave lectures and planted orchid long long ago. Along the way to Jiuwanxi from Zigui new county town, you can see many natural landscapes such as Divine Ox Spring, General Rock, Beauty Shinning, Scissors Cliff and Monk Rock etc. You can also see some cultural landscapes, which are close to Quyuan named Wendianshenjian ( Asking God Stele, Tanbao(Rostrum Hill,Shenuishi(Divine Tortoise Rock, Juyufang(Huge Fish Rock, Qiuzhibei(Asking for Words Stele), Yanwotai (Ink Stone), Bifengshi( Brush Pen Stone)and Ganoderma Rock etc.
