苏州运河十景

　　虎丘塔简介（普通话版）：虎丘山素有“吴中第一名胜”“江左丘壑之表”之称。山上的虎丘塔，是大运河苏州段的航标之一。现存之塔兴建于五代末年到北宋初年（959—961），至今已有1000余年历史。因虎丘山上的寺庙一度称“云岩禅寺”，这座塔又被称为云岩寺塔，是七级八面、以砖结构为主的仿木结构楼阁式佛塔，高47.7米，塔体向北偏东方向倾斜，塔顶中心偏离底层中心2.34米，最大倾斜度3°59′，为世界著名斜塔，1961年3月被国务院公布为第一批全国重点文物保护单位。塔内曾发现一批珍贵文物，其中五代越窑青瓷莲花碗用秘色瓷工艺烧制，为稀世珍宝，现收藏于苏州博物馆。塔下的剑池，一般认为是春秋末期吴王阖闾的葬身之地。

Tiger Hill Pagoda

Tiger Hill is renowned as 'the number one scenic spot in the land of Wu' and 'a marvelous example of hills in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River'. And the Tiger Hill Pagoda, which is situated right on the Tiger Hill, has watched over the Suzhou section of the Grand Canal for more than 1,000 years. The pagoda was constructed from the end of the Five Dynasties period through the beginning of the Northern Song dynasty (A.D. 959–961). Imitating Chinese wooden frame towers, the pagoda is a seven-story and eight-sided masonry structure of pavilion style. The Tiger Hill Pagoda is also known as Yunyan Temple Pagoda, which was named after the Yunyan Buddhist Temple nearby. It is a famous leaning tower for the way it leans to the northeast. The center of the top of the tower leans 2.34 meters away from the center of the bottom, and the maximum inclination angle is 3°59′. Even so, the pagoda still stands firmly as a 47.7 meter high tower on the hill. In March 1961, the pagoda was announced by the State Council as one of the first batch of major historical and cultural sites protected at the national level. Years ago, a number of precious cultural relics were discovered in the pagoda. Among them, the Celadon Lotus Flower-Shaped Bowl from Yue kiln of the Five Dynasties period is a piece of rare treasure. This art piece, fired using traditional Yue ware craftsmanship recorded in a secret glaze formula, is now displayed at Suzhou Museum. And the Sword Pool at the foot of the pagoda is generally said to be the burial place of Helv, the king of Wu in the late Spring and Autumn period.
