钱湖半岛陶公山

"陶公山下水深深,苔覆渔矶树覆岺。绝对红颜容一舸,起家赤手致千金。秋风蔓草官游鹿,寒月芦花浪打禽。闻说烟波曾置馆,旧时台榭费追寻。"这首出自清代甬籍文人董沛之手的诗作,描写的就是东钱湖畔的陶公山。早想领略陶公山的美景,阳光明媚的一天,我们终于达成了此行。出宁波城,穿过鄞东首镇邱隘,汽车经近半个多小时的颠簸,我们便来到山清水秀的东钱湖。陶公山对东钱湖来说,其实就是个几乎延伸到湖中心的半岛,海拔110.7米、面积约1078亩,山巅松柏浓郁,山麓有着千余户白墙灰瓦、高低错落的民居。这里的渔民过着与城市的快节奏全然不同的生活,清晨,他们去湖上撒网捕鱼,晚上归来鱼蟹满舱,和美又满足。清

Taogong Hill

Like a peninsula of the Dongqian Lake, the Taogong Hill extends its main body far into the lake center, just like a swimming buffalo. The original name of the hill is therefore called Funiu which literally refers to a swimming-buffalo-like hill. It is said to be the exact place where Fan Li and Xi Shi were living in seclusion during the Spring and Autumn period. In this famous love story, Fan, a senior official of the Yue Kingdom, secluded without any reluctance to leave the fortune and power after his success, and settled down with his true love Xi Shi in the Funiu Hill. Fan also adopted a pseudonym, namely, Taoniugong. In memory of his great contribution to the rise the Yue Kingdom, the descendants renamed the Hill, namely, Taogong.
