Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the famous tiger hill which owns the first place of fame of wu zhong.
In ancient times, tiger was a bay on the east coast, submarine volcanic eruption of lava piled up to form the island, the island at high tide flooded, flowed from the sea at low tide, over time, the island has evolved into the hills, so it drives is also called the ground sea mountain. Then why is it called tiger hill? This should also start from the spring and autumn period of wu yue. In 5XX b.c., the king of wu rump built the city of suzhou, and wu reached its golden age. In 496 BC, the prince he lu by the chance of king's death, personally rate soldiers attacked yue, the pride he lu lightly, the result's king goujian ambush, seriously injured, li died on the way, his son fu chai is here for he lu tomb built, will he lu buried here. It was said that after three days of burial, a white tiger appeared on the top of the hill and appeared to be guarding the tomb of the family, so the mountain was renamed tiger hill.
We are sure to find that the temple is hidden in the mountains, but tiger hill is different. The special thing about tiger hill is that it is hidden in the temple, not the temple hidden in the mountains. Huqiu is known as the first place of interest in wu and because of its unique scenery. So su dongpo said that it is a pity to visit suzhou.
Now the bridge in front of us is called the haichung bridge, which is a kind of antique arch bridge made of granite. We can see the bridge with twelve small stone lions in different poses, part six, lion's hands are holding a ball, which means that the supreme power, and the lioness is holding a small lion, this means that for progeny.
We looked up this side of the hill. What did you find? Please give full play to your imagination, do you think tiger hill is like crouching tiger? We see in front of the entrance, two is like a tiger head, giving away like a tiger's mouth, window is like a tiger eyes, prominent on both sides of the eaves is like a tiger's ears, this mountain like a backbone, pagoda is the tiger's tail, whole is a crouching tiger, this is what makes the tiger tiger's second statement.
As they walked on, the temple in front of them was the hill gate of tiger hill, which was called the broken beam hall. The two statues that entered the door were hem and ha-ha, and the mouth was shut. You can look up, found that the ridge purlin of the doors of the temple is not a whole wood, but two joint, there is apparent juncture, according to suzhou folk tales, yuan dynasty, the emperor which purport to suzhou official deadline in huqiu to build a house door. When the work is ready, they found can't find a enough wood to do ridge purlin, root length and deadline is nearly again, this time, the old craftsmen ruban tried to, the two short wood splice, ridge purlin. Although the beam is connected, it is still very strong. From this, we can see the ingenuity and skill of the ancient working people.
Ok, let's go up this mountain road, and this well, this well, is called the naive spring. Legend has it that there was a monk in the liang dynasty, who was blind from childhood. He fell down here and thought that there must be a spring in the mossy place. A woodman saw this and said, it is impossible to have a spring in the middle of the hillside. If you can dig it, I will become a frog. In the words, a spring came out, and the woodcutter became a frog, and he cured his eyes with the spring water.
We continue to go forward, we are now seeing this stone is very special, in the middle is cracked, this stone engraved on the flank of shijie sword-power-test rock three big, according to legend, the prince he lu life casts sword master ganjiang sword at that time, presence and his wife m-sword acquisition heaven and earth reiki, finally moulds the ganjiang m-sword male and female double sword, the prince got the presence of sword, a sword blade, stone splitting into two, this is the big stone. Legend has it that the first emperor of qin went to look for king wu's tomb, saw the huge stone squatting on a white tiger, then struck down the sword and killed it. The white tiger escaped, leaving only the scar on the stone.
Let's go north. What's the shape of this rock? Yeah, like a pillow. This rock is called a occipital stone, and it will be a great delight to throw a stone on it.
This pavilion, which is now in front of us, is a tomb, called the tomb of the ancient true mother. In the tang dynasty there was a woman named hu ruizhen. Because of the chaos, she fled to suzhou, helpless, forced into the brothel, but she only sells the art and not to sell her body, she can sing and dance, the talent is outstanding, it is a beautiful girl. At that time, there was a handsome scholar, wang yinxiang, who wanted to stay at the real niang. When the real mother knew, she threw herself into the air and kept her body. Mr Wang was shocked. He buried his wife in tiger hill and built a pavilion on the tomb.
Go on, we see the stone in this place is red. The stone is called a thousand stone. Legend prince king fuchai first funeral service, on the ground and the house was buried many swords and other treasures, fu in order to keep the secret, it is placed under the celebration dinner, will this thousands of workers gather in this place, reward poisoned wine colorless, tasteless, killed thousands of artisans, the rivers of blood, the side of the stone are dyed red, when it rains, the stone of the Red Cross showed very dazzling. Because the stone was dyed red by more than one thousand workers, it called it a thousand stones.
It is said that because of this, people are very afraid to pass through here, and the senior monk zhu daosheng is here to tell the story.
He spoke to the stone for three days and nights, and when he said that all the wicked could become buddhas, the stones nodded and seemed to agree with what was said. Hence, the living public lecture, the stubborn stone nods to say. The block in the pool was the head stone. Three thousand people sat on the stone beside it.
We say the mountain is not high, there is the immortal name, the water is not deep, there are dragons, so where is the fairy of tiger hill? The fairy is here. This is the second fairy pavilion, where one of the eight immortals, lu dongbin and the sleeping fairy Chen, were playing chess. Play chess legend lu dongbin and Chen tuan, a woodman beside watch, played after the woodcutter went down the mountain, but down the hill after he found out that people in the village he don't know, but people in the village from the perspective of the dress of the woodcutter, he from previous years ago, so there are fairy a chess game, has been one thousand years in the world. We see two pairs of couplet on the stone pillar of the duxian pavilion, the first is “ Once in the past, yueyang has made a trace. . It was said that lu dongbin had been in yueyang, now to the tiger hill to leave the trail. The other one is “ In the dream, the dream is not a dream, the yuan is called yuan ” It is said that Chen took the woodsman as the man of the dream, and the woodcutter repeatedly explained that the committee knew that it was not a dream, and that the next link was to explore the mysteries of Taoism to achieve immortality.
As we go this way, we come to the most mysterious and fascinating historical sword pool of the huqiu. We see four big &ldquo in this round hole. Tiger hill sword pool ” Originally, it is said that the four big in tang dynasty calligrapher yan zhengqing said, after years, served by weathered and denuded, huqiu two break fall into oblivion, sharpening a suzhou famous Zhang Zhong photos the same hook rubbing resharpen, carefully watching the sword can be found a monk to a pretty much, so the pool of suzhou and false huqiu real sword.
Into the open sky, the sword pond of tiger hill. It was named as the sword pool because when the family was buried, fu chai would bury the sword as a martyr and bury it in his grave. Renovation in 1955 huqiu, dry sword pool of water, the triangle dew mouth out, to walk about ten meters. Then go inside, but turn to the left, the staff found four huge piece of stone, is a lie, arranged the rest of the three pieces of finished product, experts have discovered that the tablets of stone and the spring and autumn period, rocky, so this sword underground pool is probably he lu tomb is located. Then why not dig in? (we guess) because it has huqiu tower, if to explore, will affect the foundations of the tower, which means it might fall over, that in order to protect the huqiu tower, there will be no further explore he lu tomb, so up to now, he lu tomb is still a mystery.
Now we come to the hututa, known as yunyan temple tower. It was built in five dynasties, seven stories and eight sides. Why is that? Huqiu tower is called “ The Leaning Tower of Pisa in China. . After seven fires, the seventh floor was burned in the Ming dynasty. We know that the hangzhou leifeng pagoda in the same period of huqiu tower collapsed in the 1930s. By the 1950s, tiger hilta was also at risk. In 1956, iron hogging method was adopted, and the steel hoop was used in each layer, and the cement was poured in the foundation, which effectively eliminated the crack. There is an interesting history about the 56 years of the tower. When we met to discuss the plan, an old man smiled in the corner and asked him to speak if he was in a position to hold the meeting. After the old man's repeated dismissal, he finally put forward the principle and plan of the barrel maser, and the people in the room were praised. So, the su dongpo is confirmed, to suzhou, to visit huqiu. I want to add a word: to tiger hill, not not to the tiger hill tower.
各位游客朋友们，欢迎来到拥有吴中第一名胜之誉的虎丘。
在远古时期，虎丘曾是东部海岸上的一个海湾，海底火山爆发产生的岩浆堆积形成小岛，涨潮时小岛被水淹没，退潮时又涌出海面，久而久之，小岛就演变成了这座山丘，所以虎丘也叫海涌山。那为什么后来又叫虎丘了呢?这还要从春秋吴越之争说起。公元前5XX年，吴王阖闾建成了苏州这座阖闾大成，吴国达到鼎盛时期。公元前496年，吴王阖闾乘越王去世的机会，亲自率兵攻打越国，阖闾骄傲轻敌，结果中了越王勾践的埋伏，身受重伤，回师途中去世，他的儿子夫差就在此地为阖闾修了墓，将阖闾葬于此地。相传阖闾下葬三天之后，有一只白虎出现在了山头，似乎在守卫着阖闾的墓，因此海涌山改名为虎丘。
我们平时爬山，肯定会发现，这寺是藏于山里的，可是虎丘就不同了。虎丘的特别之处就在于它是山藏于寺里，而不是寺藏于山中，是山向寺里藏。虎丘被誉为吴中第一名胜还因为它的风景独特。所以苏东坡就说过，到苏州不游虎丘，乃憾事也。
现在在我们面前的这座桥，叫做海涌桥，它是一座花岗石材料建成的仿古式拱桥。我们可以看到桥上有十二只形态各异的小石狮，一边六只，雄狮手上都抓着一个球，这意味着至高无上的权利，而雌狮呢都抱着一只小狮子，这就意味着子孙绵延。
我们从这边往山上看，有什么发现吗?请诸位充分发挥自己的想象力，有没有觉得虎丘丘如蹲虎呢?我们看前面的这二山门，是不是像老虎的头颅，洞门就像是老虎的嘴巴，窗就像是老虎的眼睛，两边突出的飞檐就像是老虎的耳朵，这山路就像是脊背，宝塔就是老虎的尾巴，整体呢就是一只蹲虎，这也就是虎丘为什么叫虎丘的第二种说法了。
大家往前走，眼前的这座殿，就是虎丘的二山门了，它叫做断梁殿。进门这两座塑像呢，就是哼哈二将，张嘴的是哈将，闭嘴的是哼将。大家往上看可以发现，这座殿门的正梁不是一根整木，而是两段接合起来的，中间有明显的接缝，据苏州民间传说，元代的时候，皇帝下旨要苏州官吏限期在虎丘建造一座殿门。当各项工作准备就绪时，发现找不到一根长度足够的木料做正梁，而限期又将近了，这个时候，老工匠赛鲁班想方设法，将两根短木料接合起来，做成正梁。虽然梁是对接的，可是仍然十分坚固。从这断梁殿，我们可以看出古代劳动人民的聪明才智和高超技艺。
好，我们沿着这条山路上去，眼前的这口井，叫做憨憨泉。相传梁代有个僧人憨憨，从小双目失明，一日摔倒在这里，心想有青苔的地方一定有泉水，于是十指刨地。一位樵夫看见了就说，半山腰是不可能有泉水的，你若能挖到，我就变成青蛙。话说刚说完，一股泉水涌出来，樵夫变成了青蛙，憨憨用泉水治好了眼睛。
我们继续往前走，现在我们看到的这块石头很特别，这石头中间是裂开的，这旁边的石碣上刻着试剑石三个大，相传，吴王阖闾命当时的铸剑大师干将铸剑，干将和他妻子莫邪采集天地灵气，终于铸成了干将莫邪雌雄双剑，吴王得到了干将所献的宝剑后，挥剑试刃，将大石一劈为二，这就是那块大石。另有传说，秦始皇到此寻找吴王墓，见巨石蹲一白虎，遂挥剑砍杀，白虎逃遁，只在石头上留下剑痕。
我们往北边走，大家看这块石头形状像什么呢?对，像枕头。这块石头叫枕石，扔一石子丢在上面，就会喜得贵子。
现在出现在我们眼前的这个亭子，它是一座墓，叫古真娘墓。唐代有位女子叫胡瑞珍，人称真娘。由于安史之乱，她逃难到苏州，无依无靠，被迫进了妓院，但是她只卖艺而不卖身，她能歌善舞，才貌出众，可谓是绝色佳丽。当时有位高富帅的书生王荫祥慕其才色，花重金贿赂老鸨想要留宿于真娘处。真娘知道之后，投缳自尽，以死守身。王荫祥大为震惊，厚葬真娘于虎丘山，并于墓上建亭纪念。
再向前走啊，我们看到这块地方的石头是呈现红色的。这石头叫做千人石。传说吴王夫差为先王治丧，在地宫内埋葬了许多宝剑和其他财宝，夫差为了保住这个秘密，就摆下庆功宴，将这千余名工人聚于此地，赏赐无色无味的毒酒，杀害了这千名工匠，血流成河，将这边的石头都染红了，每逢下雨，这石头的红会显露的十分耀眼。因为这石头是一千多个工人染红，所以叫它千人石。
相传因为此事，人们经过此处都很害怕，高僧竺道生便在此讲经，超度冤魂，
他对着石头讲经，讲了三天三夜，当他讲到一切恶人皆能成佛时，石头都在点头，似乎都在认同生公所讲的东西。于是便有生公讲经，顽石点头之说。池中那块便是点头石。旁边那石头上的三个是千人坐。
我们说山不在高，有仙则名，水不在深，有龙则灵，那么虎丘的仙在哪里呢?仙在这里。这里呢是二仙亭，是八仙之一的吕洞宾和睡仙陈抟下棋的地方。相传吕洞宾和陈抟下棋的时候，有一个樵夫在旁边观看，棋下完之后樵夫下山了，可是下山之后他发现村里的人他都不认识了，而村里的人从樵夫的着装来看，他来自以前年以前，所以有仙人一盘棋，世上已千年的说法。我们看到二仙亭的石柱上有两副对联，第一幅是“昔日岳阳曾显迹，今日虎阜再留踪”。说的是吕洞宾曾经在岳阳呆过，现在又到虎丘留下踪迹。另一幅是“梦里说梦原非梦，元里求元便是元”，上联是说陈抟老祖把樵夫当成是梦中之人，樵夫反复说明原委才知道这不是梦，下联是讲要探究道教的奥秘，才能得到成仙。
我们到往这边走，就来到了虎丘最神秘，最吸引人的古迹剑池。我们看到这个圆洞门上刻有四个大“虎丘剑池”，据说这四个原为唐代大书法家颜真卿所说，后因年久，石面经风霜剥蚀，虎丘两断落湮没，一位苏州刻石名家张仲玉照原样钩摩重刻，仔细看可以发现剑的`一撇比丘的一撇有力好看的多，所以苏州又有假虎丘真剑池的说法。
走进别有洞天，眼前呢就是虎丘的剑池了。之所以命名为剑池，是因为阖闾下葬时，夫差将三千多把宝剑作为殉葬品，埋在他的墓里。在1955年整修虎丘，抽干剑池的水时，这个三角露口露出，向里面走大概10米就走不通了，但是往左边拐，工作人员发现了四块巨大的石碑，一块是平躺的，其余三块成品形排列，专家发现，这石板的石质和春秋时期的石质相符，所以这剑池地下很可能就是阖闾墓的所在了。那为什么不往里面挖呢?(大家猜一猜)是因为上面有虎丘塔，如果往里面发掘，就会影响到塔的地基，也就是说塔可能会倒，那为了保护虎丘塔，就没有进一步探索阖闾墓所在，所以至今，阖闾墓仍然是一个神秘的谜。
现在我们来到得就是虎丘塔，俗称云岩寺塔。始建于五代，七层八面。为什么呢?虎丘塔被称为“中国的比萨斜塔”。经历过七次火烧，明朝时第七层被烧毁了。我们知道，与虎丘塔同期的杭州雷峰塔在三十年代倒塌。到五十年代，虎丘塔也是岌岌可危。 1956年采用铁箍喷浆法，每层塔内用钢筋箍起来，地基灌浇水泥，有效地消除了裂缝。关于56年修塔，有一段有趣的历史。当年开会讨论修塔方案时，有一老工人坐在墙角微微地笑，主持会议的人见他胸有成竹的样子，便请他发言。老工人再三推辞后，终于提出了箍桶匠修桶的原理和方案，在场的人员是啧啧称赞啊。所以，又印证了苏东坡的话，到苏州，不可不游虎丘。我还要添一句：到虎丘，不可不留影虎丘塔。
