More familiar are the seven manuscripts and ancient and modern novels, all of which are from the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the southern Jiangsu folk song "Scenery of Gusu" also sings at the beginning: "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", but this song, also known as "Dajiuhuan", is composed of several folk songs, and what is sung behind it is really the scenery of the two places: "West Lake in Hangzhou, no mountain pond in Suzhou, alas, two good places.
Obviously, it doesn't have an ancient origin like another famous folk song "Moon Bends in Kyushu". The latter has been circulating since the Southern Song Dynasty. Poets in the Tang Dynasty set a precedent. The author thinks that the saying that "there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below" can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty at the earliest. Can be divided into two halves, the first half is to compare Jiangnan to heaven. Ren Hua, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once chanted in the master cursive music of Huai Su: "People say you are from Jiangnan, but I say you are from heaven!" This should be the origin of comparing Jiangnan to heaven.
Before this, Jiangnan was called "the land of beauty" because of the prosperity of the Southern Dynasties, and there was no precedent to compare it with the sky. The title of "Kerry Land" continued in the Tang Dynasty, and there was a tendency to push other places out of this ranks. The West Lake in Hangzhou is really worth visiting, and the gardens in Suzhou are also worth seeing. But everyone thinks that the scenery and modern facilities in Hangzhou are better than those in Suzhou. Next to the West Lake, you can not only visit all the memorial halls and sightseeing places for free, but also listen to light music. Of course it's not the same smell. ,
