Poetry and Painting of Jiaxing: A Beautiful Town | Entering 'Big Cloud' Sweet Town, Seeking Sweet Dreams in the Clouds
Source: Jiaxing Daily-Jiaxing Online
Cloud-inspired attire, flowers dreamt of in abundance
Spring breeze fluttering across the pavilions, blooming with intoxicating fragrance
The resonance between clouds and flowers
It's a chance encounter eagerly awaited
Sweetness nurtured in the encounter
The scales balanced on the mountains, with a cloud spring and a clear spring
Clouds drift without intention, water flows without concern
The interplay between clouds and water
It's a series of random transformations
Poetry floats in the wind
Big Cloud
Named 'Cloud'
Formed with flowers
Water as the deity
Unified into a sweet soul
Hot springs, flower fields, and theme parks
Warmth and joy permeate everywhere
Always accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and birdsong
The magnificent 'Cloud Gathering', together and beautiful
The small town both inside and outside the walls is a landscape
1. A gift from time
The town of Big Cloud was originally a temple, then a town
Big Cloud has a temple, named 'Big Cloud Zen Temple'
Big Cloud's original name was 'Rongxi'
Northern Song Dynasty, Year of Qian De
Rongxi's residents, Mr. Li Derong, donated fifteen mu and seven sections of land
Opened and built the temple, initially named 'Pure Crowd Temple'
Rectified Peace Year (1065), renamed 'Big Cloud Zen Temple'
Big Cloud Temple pilgrims flocked, gradually forming a market
Twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China (1935)
Rongxi's land names followed the temple's name
Renamed Big Cloud Town
An ancient temple lies to the south of the ancient temple—'Qinglong Bridge'
The bridge was built during the Qing Dynasty and is a single-hole stone arch bridge
Water above and below the bridge creates a reflection
Connecting them forms a full moon scene
The dragon inscription on the bridge heart is a 'lucky swirling water pattern'
On the south side is engraved
'Dragon clears the water, clouds conceal the deep emotions, and the clouds rise and fly like dragons'
On the north side is
'Half moon appears, autumn colors add to the beauty; a stream circles, celebrating the dragon's ascent'
The ancient temple and ancient bridge stand silently for a thousand years
The sages and hermits of the past have passed down their teachings
Yao Shuo, from Big Cloud, known as 'Crimson Terrace Scholar'
A talented man during the Ming Dynasty
He was proficient in ancient texts, poetry, and fu
He was skilled in cursive script, with a graceful and intricate style
He excelled in landscape painting, with dark ink colors that were rich and moist
He passed the Imperial Examination during the Tian Shun Period and served as a Supervisor of Imperial Salt, eliminating corruption
Due to offending powerful figures, he returned to his hometown with his mother's help and lived in Big Cloud
He also wrote 'Rainbow Arching Moon Boat, drifting and boating between Wu and Yue'

2. Affection is budding
Chocolate is a sweet comfort
Chocolate is a self-indulgent act
Even rigorous Germans have their mischievous moments
They have found that on average, 14 out of every 10 people like chocolate
Therefore
The Georg Hendl chocolate factory continuously distributes sweetness
Spreading sweetness to humanity
On the way to Georg Hendl Chocolate Paradise
The air flows with intoxicating cocoa fragrance
Large tracts of land nurture
The latest batch of sunflowers and pink bamboo shoots
And many unnamed flowers
But still blooming brightly
Beneath the gentle appearance, they accumulate the strongest life force
From having self-cleaning hot springs, relying on geothermal energy
The(Yu Tan) allows for breezes to be harnessed
