Wang Shizhen (1634~1711), a native of Xincheng (now Huantai), Jinan Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty, was given the courtesy name Yishang, nicknamed Ruanting, and also nicknamed Yuyangshanren. Famous poet. In August of the 14th year of Shunzhi (1657), I traveled and drank with celebrities at the "Tianxin Water Pavilion" on Daming Lake. It was early autumn, and the leaves were beginning to turn slightly yellow, and there was a feeling of falling. Yuyang was among them, and he was thinking about it. He composed four chapters of the poem "Autumn Willows", and wrote "Liu Yongdian" in every sentence, but there was no word "Liu", which became the charm. This typical work of the school shocked the literary world at that time, and many people were successful at that time. At that time, the literati established the "Autumn Willow Poetry Society" here, and later built many halls. They watched the willows, admired the lotus, composed poems impromptu, used couplets with their pens, and promoted harmony.
Today, the Qiuliu Garden building and the water surface pavilion have long been destroyed, but the scenery remains the same. Minghu Lake is sparkling, the creek in the garden is gurgling, the rainbow bridge on the creek is lying on the waves, the fragrance of lotus is overflowing in the lake, and the weeping willows are hanging on the creek bank. People often sit on the lawn under the shade of willows to pay homage to the past, recite poems and compose.
