Twin Clearness Autumn Moon

  Twin Clearness Autumn Moon. The Twin Clearness Autumn Moon scenic area is situated on Dizhu Islet along Shuangqing Road, comprising a comprehensive park made up of natural landscapes such as Dizhu Islet and Gaomiao Pool, as well as cultural sites like ancient temples, pavilions, and stone inscriptions. It earned the name "Twin Clearness" due to its location at the confluence of the Zi River and the Shaoshui River. In 1956, it was turned into Shuangqing Park. Dizhu Islet is a steep, towering peak that juts into the midstream of the Zi River, resembling a peninsula. Its rugged rocks and precipitous cliffs overlook the turbulent yet clear waters of Gaomiao Pool below. Originally nameless, in February 1538 during the Ming Dynasty's Jiajing era, regional inspector Gu Lin of Huguang admired how the islet “stood boldly where the waters converge, a most remarkable sight,” and thus named it “Dizhu Islet” (Pillar Rock Islet), composing a five-character poem: “A single stone from Kunlun, cast upon the jade-green river’s lip; in tranquil sunlight it floats with fine aura, standing firm midstream. Towers and terraces hang above the sheer scenery, while peach and plum blossoms dot the fragrant spring. Having witnessed all the fury of the rapids, why ask the water god’s will?” Deng Jizeng, prefect of Baoqing, had the words engraved on the stone atop Dizhu Islet.
