Punch the real version of Fuchun Shan Jutu into past lives, a Millennium ancient city.
“There are beautiful mountains and rivers in the world, pushing Fuchun in ancient and modern times.” Fuyang is surrounded by mountains and holds water, with beautiful scenery, attracting countless literati to linger and praise. Nowadays, visitors to Fuyang have a new place to punch in-Fuchun Mountain Pavilion.
Fuchun Mountain Museum consists of Fuyang Museum, Gongwang Art Museum and Fuyang Archives. It is the largest work created by Professor Wang Shu, Dean of the School of Architecture and Art of China Academy of Fine Arts, after winning the Pritzker Prize. Its inspiration comes from Huang Gongwang’s Fuchun Shan Jutu. According to the traditional landscape sequence of China, the whole building of Fuchun Mountain Pavilion presents the construction rule of the echo of the near mountain, the secondary mountain and the distant mountain, which is perfectly integrated with the natural landscape.
Every brick and tile here is made from nature, telling the story of Fuyang. From a distance, the stacked roofs are like rolling mountains, which complement the Fuchun River water. Hand-made stone and cement building facades and interior walls with bamboo and straw make the elegant art museum more grounded. Visitors who like to take photos and punch in can find countless amazing perspectives and scenes. Visitors who like history and humanities can also find the original Jiangnan style and traces of long years in the architectural details.
Besides making literary blockbusters, you can also explore the past lives of Fuyang in Fuyang Museum in Fuchunshan Museum. As a comprehensive museum with both knowledge and artistry, reflecting Fuyang’s regional history and culture, the museum has a permanent exhibition with the theme of “Home on Fuchun River”, which tells the history and culture of Fuyang through the sections of “Landscape Fuyang, Millennium Ancient County, Dongwu Origin, Paper-making Town, Land of Fish and Rice, Golden Waterway and Outstanding People”.
Revisit Fuyang with Su Dongpo
Memories of ancient roads connected in series with song rhyme
Recently, Fuyang Bo.The exhibition of “Hangzhou Song Rhyme Traces and Memories” was launched in the hall of the Museum, and 20 routes for studying Hangzhou Song Rhyme were released. Fuyang’s “Dongpo Ancient Road” and “Dongwushan Ancient Road” are impressively listed. Along the way, you can not only visit famous historical sites, but also revisit the cultural stories behind them. From a road to a city, between vegetation and rocks, search for elegant song rhyme and anecdotes scattered in Fuyang.
“Dongpo Ancient Road” route: Xindeng Ancient City-Guangfu Temple-Yaogong Temple-Tianyun Temple-Cliff Stone Carving in Antou Mountain-Yinxian Carving Buddha.
According to historical records, Su Dongpo visited Xindeng, Fuyang many times during his tenure as a judge in Hangzhou, and left two poems in Xincheng Road. “Xiqiao people should be the happiest, cooking sunflower, burning bamboo shoots and ploughing in spring.” What he wrote was the busy scene where he met farmers in spring ploughing along the road, with a cheerful atmosphere of life.
Following Su Dongpo’s footsteps on horseback, the tour route starts from Xindeng Ancient City, and after visiting the ancient city wall and the forest of sacred gardens, it goes all the way north to visit Guangfu Temple, which was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty. Later, I went upstream along Xiangxi to pay tribute to the Yao Gong Temple built in memory of the famous Northern Song Dynasty Yao Xing. Go to Dongqiao Town to have a look at Tianyun Temple where Su Dongpo once stayed, and visit the weathered Mount Antou, where the cliff carvings and Yinxian carvings of the Song Dynasty sit on the Buddha.
“Dongwushan Ancient Road” route: Enbo Bridge-Gushan-Yangpi Lake-Sizhou Paper Mill Site-Dongwushan Village
Speaking of Dongwushan tofu skin, which is “as thin as cicada’s wings and as light as silk gauze”, Hangzhou people who love food must be familiar with it, and it is a frequent visitor at the dinner table during the Chinese New Year holiday. But do you know how tofu skin was sold all the way from Dongwu Mountain Village to Lin ‘an House in the Song Dynasty?
Starting from Enbo Bridge, which lasted for thousands of years, I went to Gu Mountain to visit the site of the former Jixiang Temple. Visit the picturesque Yangpi Lake, visit the ruins of Sizhou Paper Workshop at the northern foot of Fenghuang Mountain in Gao Qiao Town, and learn about the production process of the famous Fuyang paper; Finally, visit Dongwu Village in Yinhu Street to see the production of traditional tofu skin, and climb the Dongwu Mountain Road to find the remains of Jiu ‘an Thirteen Temple in Song Dynasty, as if you can still see hardworking villagers stirring up pole and peddling along the mountain road in the morning.
Experience hand-made paper and ancient printing
Exploring Song Rhyme Gene in Interesting Classroom
Fuyang is known as “the famous town of papermaking”, and the history of manual papermaking has been more than 1900 years. According to legend, after Emperor Han Ming, Fuyang began to produce paper. In the Song Dynasty, bamboo paper production technology made great progress, and the produced Yuan Shu paper, Jing paper and Chi Ting paper were known as the three famous papers, which became the top grade paper for the imperial court’s brocade folder memorial and imperial examination papers. Among them, “Yuan Shu Paper” contains a slight fragrance of bamboo, which is indelible, smooth and white, and was once the imperial paper of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. At that time, there was a saying that “Fuyang Paper, the number one scholar in Kyoto, was a scholar with ten yuan books”.
How was the imperial Yuan Shu paper made? There is an old paper farmer’s proverb circulating in Fuyang, “It’s not easy to slice paper, but it’s seventy-two”, which says that it takes seven years to make meta-book paper..Two working procedures, its manufacturing technology has formed a set of unique manufacturing processes on the basis of inheriting China’s traditional papermaking technology.
Fuyang Museum has a miniature version of the paper-making site of Song Dynasty-Sizhou Paper-making Workshop Site, which includes two blocks: the paper-making workshop area and the living area. Remains such as threshing ground, retting pond, leather wok, mortar pond, papermaking room, baking room, drainage ditch, water well and ash pit were spread, and the whole papermaking process line was completely restored.
Fuyang Museum has also specially set up a special exhibition on paper culture of “New Rhyme of Song Paper”, which shows the cultural development of Fuyang’s traditional papermaking and ancient printing by combining literature and production tools. During the exhibition, the special exhibition of “Song Paper New Rhyme” paper culture will be launched simultaneously into campus activities, which will gradually enter ten primary and secondary schools in the whole district, integrate into the study life of children, and make traditional culture within reach.
Besides visiting exhibitions and scholars’ explanations, hands-on experience is undoubtedly the best way to feel the charm of Fuyang’s traditional skills more intuitively. In the second class of Fuyang Museum, the activity of “Yousong Teenagers Experiencing Traditional Papermaking and Ancient Printing” was specially launched, and 10 groups of parent-child families were recruited and organized, and they went into Huyuan Xiner Village and Huabaozhai to learn about traditional skills, and participated in the production process by themselves under the guidance of non-genetic inheritors, and became “Song Dynasty craftsmen” once.
