The Song Dynasty in China is divided into
two periods by historians.
The first stage was the Northern Song
Dynasty (960-1127 AD).
The second stage was the Southern Song
Dynasty (AD-1127 to AD 1279).
In 1129 AD, the Southern Song Dynasty moved
the capital to the city (Lin'an), which is the current Hangzhou City of
Zhejiang Province.
After the fall of the Southern Song
Dynasty, a scholar named (Wu Zimu) wrote a book.
This book records many customs in Lin'an
City before the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, and also depicts the urban
landscape at that time and the daily life of people of various identities
living in the city.
A passage in this book describes it as
follows.
Hangzhou has beautiful lakes and mountains.
In addition to the beautiful scenery, this
place has a special feature.
From Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Jin Dynasty,
Tang Dynasty to Song Dynasty.
Many outstanding and special people in
Chinese history were born or lived in this place.
Among these people, some were learned civil
servants, and some were brave generals.
Some are very filial, some are very brave.
Some are very righteous, some are very
loyal.
Some are very respected teachers, some are
very knowledgeable scholars.
Some serve as senior officials of the
central government, and some are very talented but refuse to serve in the
central government.
These people are all recorded in the
history books and are worthy of our study and imitation.
This idiom is used to describe a place with
lakes and mountains and beautiful scenery.

湖光山色(This place has beautiful lakes and
mountains.)
中國的宋王朝被歷史學家分為兩個時期。
第一個階段是北宋王朝(西元960-西元1127年)。
第二個階段是南宋王朝(西元-1127年到西元1279年)。
西元1129年，南宋王朝把首都遷到(臨安)這座城市，這座城市就是目前的浙江省的杭州市。
南宋王朝滅亡之後，有一個名字叫做(吳自牧)的學者寫了一本書。
這本書中紀錄了南宋王朝滅亡前，臨安城中的許多風俗、也描繪了當時的城市景觀與居住在這座城市中的各種身分地位的人們的日常生活。
這本書中有一段描述如下。
杭州有著美麗的湖與山。
這個地方除了風景漂亮之外，還有一個特色。
從秦王朝，漢王朝、晉王朝、唐王朝到宋王朝。
中國歷史上有很多傑出又特別的人們在這個地方出生或是生活過。
這些人中，有些是博學的文官，有些是勇猛的武將。
有些特別孝順、有些特別勇敢。
有些非常的公義，有些非常的忠誠。
有些是非常受人尊敬的老師，有些是知識非常淵博的學者。
有些擔任中央政府的高級官員，有些很有才能但是拒絕到中央政府中任職。
這些人都是歷史書上，被詳細記錄值得我們學習與效法的人。
這句成語被用來形容一個有湖有山而且風景很美的地方。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
你所居住的城市中曾經生活過那些名人嗎?你想成為一個怎樣的人呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
