It is reported that two hundred and forty years ago, in the forty-ninth year of Qianlong (1784), it was Emperor Qianlong's sixth and last southern tour.
Emperor Qianlong lingered in the beautiful scenery of West Lake, wrote poems and inscribed inscriptions, and left his mark on West Lake.
Four decades later, the elegance left by Emperor Qianlong was rediscovered.
The cliff with poems inscribed by Emperor Qianlong is located on the west side of Mao Zedong's Reading Office, a cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province. There is a pool in the area. The rocks are distributed along the pool and stand like banana leaves to catch the rain.
The rock where the cliff is located is a calcareous rock mass, which is located on the south side of the pool. The cliff faces the north. The three cliffs are closely arranged, facing the mountain road on the north side.
Dingjiashan, also known as Jiao Shi Ming Qin.
The Jiao Shi Ming Qin Landscape was created during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty and was one of the eighteen scenic spots in the West Lake at that time.
According to the records in Volume 120 of the Qing Dynasty Annals, there are six inscriptions and five stones.
Emperor Qianlong composed a total of five poems in Dingjiashan.
The three newly discovered imperial poems on the cliff are: Dingjiashan Poems of the Xinwei Emperor of Qianlong, Dingjiashan Slogan of the Gengzi Emperor of Qianlong, and Dingjiashan Poems of the Jiachen Emperor of Qianlong.

Among them, Xinwei, the 16th year of Qianlong's reign (1751), was Emperor Qianlong's first southern tour. The poem content is: "Green bananas and white stones are natural enough, and they are better than plums and shy peaches competing for beauty. Three days of spring and two days of rain, One stream is clear water and half is a field. It is a good time to catch the first light of day due to the height, and it is no harm to see the dawn smoke when looking into the distance. The sound of birds and springs is noisy and quiet, and the silk tung trees are connected even if they are not drummed."
Gengzi of Qianlong was in the forty-fifth year of Qianlong (1780), the fifth southern tour of Emperor Qianlong. The poem content is: "Looking for victory, Wan came to the scenic spot and stopped, still stone white and banana green. The guest and host are similar in appearance at the bottom. Why don't you send the truth somewhere?"
Qianlong Jiachen is the forty-ninth year of Qianlong (1784), the sixth southern tour of Emperor Qianlong. The content of the poem is: "Looking for the leisurely path with white rocks and green bananas, I don't know who has played the harp. Suppose the sound of clouds and springs is like a burnt tail. , listen to the south wind Jiefu sound." (End)
