In the folk story Legend of the White Snake, Broken Bridge is the place where White Snake and Xu Xian meet, so it is the most famous bridge in the West Lake. The Golden Belt Bridge is located on the west side of the broken bridge, also known as Hanbi Bridge. Qing Yongzheng's Record of the West Lake Volume 8: "The old wooden frame of the Golden Belt Bridge is a beam, and the Emperor Saint Zuren (referring to Emperor Kangxi) is near the lonely mountain, and the royal ship turns to Lihu Lake."

The dike is 2797 meters long and 30 ~ 40 meters wide. There are six stone arch bridges in Shang * * in Su Causeway, from south to north: Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Dike, Dongpu (according to textual research, it is suspected that it is the fault of Pu Shu) and Duhong. Xian Chun's Lin 'an Annals in the Southern Song Dynasty (Volume 33): "Now, Jun Lake was opened on Dongpo, and a long dike was built due to grass accumulation. From south to north, it crossed the lake for several miles, with flowers and willows planted in the middle and six bridges in the middle, which was destroyed by walkers ...

"New Records of the West Lake" Volume 4: "Today, mulberry plants, the so-called Su Causeway willow, have been cut down." 1950 The dike body is raised and widened, and a trail along the lake is built with seats.
The bridge between the White Snake and Xu Xian, a beautiful fairy tale, is located at the beginning of Bai Causeway. The name "Broken Bridge" comes from the Tang Dynasty. There are doors and eaves on ancient bridges. When it snows, the snow in the middle section is on the eaves at the door, and only the two ends of the bridge are covered with snow. Seen from a distance, this bridge seems to be broken, so it is called "broken bridge".
Pavilions and pavilions on the bridge, facing Lixi Lake, are opposite the Baoshi Mountain and Baoshu Tower on the other side of the lake. The mountains, towers, lakes, pavilions, bridges, peaches and willows by the lake constitute picturesque scenery, which is very charming. Broken bridge is the only way to lonely mountain. Whenever it snows, people go to the broken bridge to enjoy the snow scene of the West Lake. The lonely mountain and Lixihu Lake are wrapped in silver, which is particularly touching, because it is called "Broken Bridge and Broken Snow". Zhou Xiaoying, Hu Xinting and Ruan Gongdun.

Zhou Xiaoying
Zhou Xiaoying was originally named Baoning Temple in Shui Xin, also known as Hu Xin Temple. It was a beautiful place to enjoy the moon on the lake in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its garden architecture and landscape layout were basically formed in the early18th century. In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, Qiantang made Nie Xintang appear on the water conservancy road, built ridges around the beach, and became a lake in the lake, thinking it was a place of release. In 39 years, Yang Wanli continued to build the outer ridge, and in 48 years, the regulation was perfect.

Li Jian Sun Long is surrounded by stones and pavilions, but they are collectively called' the pavilion in the middle of the lake'. The state dynasty was heavily renovated, and the railings were carved on the left and right wings, with floors on them ... "In the twenty-seventh year of Qing Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong wrote the book" Bright and Clean Middle Edge ". After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the former site of Xiqing Pavilion was converted into the Temple of Wealth and Guanyin Hall. 1980, the island was engraved with the stone tablet "Insect" (the middle part of the traditional Chinese word "wind"), which means "boundless wind and moon".
Ruangongdun
Ruan Gongdun is located in the west of West Lake, and the pavilion is in the middle of the lake. In the fifth year of Jiaqing (1800), when Ruan Yuan, the governor of Zhejiang, dredged the West Lake, he piled up dredged silt into islands, commonly known as "soft beaches". The island is 34 meters long from north to south and 33 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of 0.57 hectares. For a long time, there are no buildings on the island, and the trees are overgrown with weeds, which has become the habitat of migratory birds. When the West Lake was dredged from 1952 to 1958, riprap was added around the island, and the area was slightly widened. 1977 Embankment was built around the island, which expanded the area again and filled with foreign soil. 198 1 year, more than 1000 tons of soil was added to the island, and a "small building with a green garden" was built. There are buildings such as Yiyun Pavilion (Ruan Yuanhao's "Yuntai") and Yunshuiju on the island. 1982, the first fishing area of West Lake is opened on the island, where tourists can enjoy tea and fish. Since 1984, the antique tour around Bizhuang has been held on the island, which is very popular in the West Lake night tour. Since the Southern Song Dynasty moved the capital, it has brought unprecedented prosperity to the West Lake, with the emergence of the famous "Ten Scenes of the West Lake", including the autumn moon in Pinghu, the spring dawn in Su Causeway, the residual snow on the bridge, the sunset glow of Leifeng, the midnight bell in Nanping, the wind lotus of Qu Yuan, the fish watching in Huagang, the singing of willow waves, the moonlight in Santan and the clouds with double peaks.

Then, in 2007, the West Lake Expo in Hangzhou, China selected the latest ten scenic spots in the West Lake, including Lingyin Zen, Liuhe Tingtao, Qixia of Yuemu, Yanyu on the lakeside, Qianci Biao Zhong, Academy, Jingxing of Di Yang, Santai Yunshui, Meiwu Chunzao, and North Street Dream Seeking. One lake, January, one pool and one seal (Chinese seal) constitute the four elements of the West Lake logo, and the outline is generally outlined in the form of ink painting. The blue and white "makeup face" is simple and fresh, and the bright Chinese seal has become the most outstanding one. This beautiful China Red is the "West Lake" seal specially carved by Professor China Academy of Art and seal engraver Shen Hao of Xiling Printing Society.
This seal has both the characteristics of China and Hangzhou, because people naturally associate it with Xiling Printing Factory.
The symbol of the West Lake conveys and represents three layers of information and significance: the first layer is China culture. China traditional ink painting, supplemented by China seal, reflects the long history of West Lake cultural landscape; Secondly, the characteristics of the West Lake. The organic integration of pond and moon, pond, moon and pond embodies the artistic conception of "harmony between man and nature, lakes and mountains" and effectively conveys the characteristics of West Lake. The third layer means "Sansheng". The pool in LOGO is transformed from three white dots, which contains the connotation concept of "Sansheng" and expresses the inclusiveness of the open atmosphere of the West Lake.
"The most touching thing is the rippling touch, which makes the West Lake smart." Wang Xueqing, Dean of China Academy of Art, commented that the natural landscape and humanistic features are the most striking places in the logo design of the West Lake.
The global collection of the West Lake logo has attracted the attention of designers all over the world, and excellent designers from Britain, Singapore, France and India have all participated in it. The UNESCO World Heritage Center has also set up a website to publicize the cultural landscape of West Lake in Hangzhou. In addition, CNNGO, a well-known travel website under CNN, also wrote a report on collecting the LOGO of the West Lake, with a high click-through rate.
As we all know, the ten scenic spots in the West Lake are all four-character scenic spots: the spring dawn in Su Causeway and the autumn moon in Pinghu ... At the same time, the humanistic landscape of the West Lake fully includes the landscape characteristics such as seasons, time periods, meteorology, animals and plants.
The symbol of the West Lake, including the lake, the moon, the pond and the seal, looks like a traditional China ink painting, with water and sky. It not only has all the elements contained in the West Lake, but also has the unique charm of a famous lake of oriental culture. It is very smart and international.
Next, the Management Committee will issue special normative documents on the use, promotion and management of the newly launched West Lake logo. The new logo will be used in prominent positions of major events, important meetings, publicity activities, window units, honor and credit fields, official systems such as business cards, work permits, envelopes, stationery, office supplies, conference supplies, street furniture, various tourist souvenirs, special agricultural products and other derivative products.
