各位遊客：

大家好!歡迎大家來到揚州瘦西湖。我是今天的導遊xxx，大家可以叫我小x或x導。

如果把杭州西湖比作豐滿嫵媚的少婦，那麼揚州瘦西湖可比作清秀婀娜的少女，因為杭州西湖給人一種雍容華貴的韻味，而揚州瘦西湖卻給人幾分纖柔羞怯的情意。多少年來，她那獨具的魅力，不僅使揚州人民喜往樂遊，也使不少海內外的文人名士為之傾倒，單單一個“瘦”，就引出許許多多詩人的佳句。早些年，鄧拓遊湖時，就對湖山風光讚賞不已，欣然成詩：“板橋歌吹古揚州，我作揚州三日遊;瘦了西湖情更好，人天美景不勝收。”

【名稱來歷—大虹橋—南門】各位遊客：我國以“西湖”命名的景區有三四十處之多，而“瘦西湖”僅揚州一個。那麼她為什麼要定名為“瘦西湖”呢?瘦西湖地處揚州城西郊，原名“炮山河”，亦稱“保障河”，是隋唐時期由蜀同諸山之水，匯合安徽大別山東來的洞水流人運河的一段水道。它有50多公頃的遊覽面積，6公里多的遊程，一條曲水如錦帶，時展時收，猶如嫦娥起舞時拋向人間的五色飄帶，形態自然動人。後來改稱“瘦西湖”，是因為乾隆年間詩人汪沆將揚州保障河與杭州西湖作了一番比較，寫了一首詠贊保障河的詩：“垂楊不斷接殘蕪，雁齒虹橋儼畫圖;也是銷金一鍋子，故應喚作瘦西湖。”從此“瘦西湖”作為正式名稱，名聞中外。

“揚州好，第一是虹橋”，現在我們來到的地方就是名聞天下的瘦西湖第一景——大虹橋。這座橋是揚州二十四景之一，建於明崇份年間，橫跨保障湖水。原橋為木質紅欄，故名紅橋，清代乾隆元年改建為石橋。十五年後，巡鹽御史吉慶、普福、高恆相繼重建，並在橋上建橋亭，改“紅”為“虹”，意思是橋如彩虹。現已改建為7.6米寬的3孔低坡青石橋。虹橋在歷史上曾經名噪一時，乾隆皇帝遊揚州時也作詩讚賞虹橋的景色。有一次乾隆的遊船到虹橋，見一乞丐手執長竿，長竿端頭置一布袋，口中唸唸有詞，便問左右，此人在此作甚?紀曉嵐(清朝大臣)忙上前答道：是一乞丐，專在河邊吟詩乞討為生。乾隆聞聽下旨命令乞丐當面吟詩，乞丐不慌不忙地吟道：“三月煙花風流在，一代天君過紅橋。錦帆徐牽碧鏡裏，落霞貧賤照天燒。”乾隆不得不感歎：“揚州乞兒尚能作此詩，果然不愧為文昌之地。”而他自己也被撩動詩興，出詩應和：“綠濃春水飲長虹，錦纜徐牽碧鏡中;真在橫披畫裏過，平山迎面送春風。”今日大虹橋已成為進人瘦西湖的咽喉，登橋遠望，不僅可見湖水如帶，桃紅柳綠，畫舫輕歌，更可見遠處小金山上的山亭，隱隱約約，似在招引我們，步入佳境。

各位遊客：現在展現在我們面前的這組恢宏建築，就是今日瘦西湖的南大門，她正敞開懷抱，熱情歡迎我們的到來。瘦西湖南大門像一道屏障，使瘦西湖諸景半藏半露，恰似美人“猶抱琵琶半遮面，千呼萬喚始出來”。門廳檐口的“瘦西湖”三匾，是揚州已故書法家孫龍父的手筆。門廳廊柱上一副檻聯這樣寫道：“天地本無私，春花秋月盡我留連，得閒便是主人，且莫間平泉草木;湖山倍多麗，傑閣幽亭憑誰點綴，到處別開生面，真不減清閟畫圖。”是晚清揚州詩人李逸休撰題，並由其女兒揚州著名書法家李聖和書寫的。有了這副祖聯，瘦西湖風光也更添了幾分滋力。幾年前，電視連續劇《紅樓夢》中“元妃省親”的那場重頭戲就是在這地拍攝的，讓我們像當年的元妃那樣登上掛揖蘭橈，透過珠簾繡幕，去縱情領略瘦西湖的風光吧!

【長堤春柳—小方亭—桃花塢】 各位遊客：步入大門，腳下一道長堤，逶迤北去。從虹橋直至徐園門前，是一條600米的長堤。東側是碧波盪漾的湖水，西側為花圃，路的兩邊三步一桃，五步一柳。沿途有五景，皆為清初鹽商黃為蒲所築。此景即稱“長堤春柳”。每當和煦春風吹到這裏時，那細細的柳絲就被染成嫩黃色，繼而吐出粒粒綠珠。春意盎然時，柳葉舒展了，桃花盛開了，湖上微風吹來，那柳絲們娜起舞，樹影婆婆，似青煙綠秀，漫步其間，怎不會令人人迷呢!這正如詩人陳其工所描寫的：“長堤春柳最依依，才過虹橋便人迷。”

春日踏訪柳堤是最有意趣的，漫步在這“問株楊柳間株桃”的長堤上，不知遊客們是否有心曠神怕的感受。堤雖長但並不顯得單調，請看前面堤畔的這座攢尖翹角式的四柱方亭，顯然是讓我們在此駐足，靜靜地揣摩欣賞這裏的景色。亭內面西的“長堤春柳”匾是清代進士揚州書法家陳重慶的手筆。聯題：“佳氣溢芳甸(趙孟頫句)，宿雲檐野川(元好問句)。”為揚州書畫家王板哉所書，登亭小想，使我們在領悟中又進入了新的意境。

堤邊的柳與別處是不同的，為什麼呢?據説，當年隋煬帝開挖運河時，翰林學士虞世基建議在河堤兩岸大量插柳，既可護堤，又可遮蔭。隋煬帝大喜，並親手先栽一株，又賜垂柳姓楊，所以外地的柳樹到了揚州就稱楊柳，“多情最是揚州柳”，所以楊柳成了揚州的市樹。

如果説“長堤春柳”似東風二月，以桃紅柳綠間植取勝，那麼挑花塢則以成片桃林，雲霞散彩的氣派見長，的確是：“花落花飛飛滿天，紅消香斷有誰憐?”各位遊客：現在我們所在之處就叫桃花塢，電視連續劇《紅樓夢》拍攝時。黛玉的扮演者陳曉旭在此處以錦囊收桃花豔骨，埋於一環淨土之中，當她邊舞邊歌“儂今葬花人笑痴，他年葬依知是誰”時，連桃花雞的花瓣也籟籟飄落，似乎同情黛玉的不幸。

據野史記載，清代揚州八怪之一的金農曾在平山堂赴宴，席間以古人“飛紅”為題，行令賦詩。到了某鹽商時，因才思枯竭，無以為對，竟然説出“柳絮飛來片片紅”之句。金農為之解圍，説是古人確有該詩，併為之補全，詩説：“廿四橋邊廿四風，憑鬧猶憶舊江東。夕陽返照桃花塢，柳絮飛來片片紅。”眾人明知是金農即席杜撰，但不得不佩服金農的才思敏捷。

【四橋煙雨—徐園】各位遊客：揚州素以橋鄉聞名，它與江南紹興一樣橋多、橋美，不同的是，紹興以樑橋為多，而揚州卻以拱橋見長。現在我們看到的這個景點叫“四橋煙雨”。此景建於康熙年間，以前為揚州北郊二十四景之一，曾經也是大鹽商的私家園林，登上這四橋煙雨樓，南面的虹橋，北面的長春橋，近處的春濃橋和西邊的五亭橋，都歷歷在目。每當風雨蕭蕭時，四橋就忽隱忽視，故稱“四橋煙雨”。可貴的是諸橋近在咫尺，橋橋不同，但這四座橋卻把湖水分割的景物相互銜接起來，又以各橋不同的落點和構架將全徹景點劃分為各具特色的若干區間，使每一風景區都呈現出各自獨特的韻味。難怪乾隆每次來揚州都要登臨四橋煙雨樓，憑窗眺望。“趣園”二便是乾隆第一次下江南時的御筆。

園中有園是瘦西湖的特色，前面一道高牆將大片湖水擋住，僅以一圓形的洞門引我們入內。清初這裏是韓園桃花塢故址。民國4年(191年)改為徐寶山洞堂，故名徐園。徐寶山曾任辛亥革命時的國民革命軍第二軍軍長，統管兩淮及八百里長江的緝私。他曾追隨孫中山，與清軍對陣作戰，其後又提出撤銷揚州軍政府，從而統一江蘇的主張。由於他輕視袁世凱，並趕走袁派來監視他的參謀長，袁世凱下毒手派人將他炸死。此時，曾與徐寶山共事過的著名書法家吉亮工不待請求，主動寫了“徐園”兩。剛揮毫時，他心情還比較沉重，所以“徐”為行楷，而後越寫越激動，以至寫“園”時，已按捺不住內心的激憤寫成了行草。徑雖逾尺，但兩配合和諧，筆力遭勁。

這一小小園林中有一館，一榭，一亭，外有曲水，內有池塘，花木竹石，恰到好處。此園是瘦西湖正門進入的第一個園，遊客一入其中頓感江南園林的精巧。未到過瘦西湖的人，就以為這就是瘦西湖的風貌，其實這正是構園者的苦心，給人以“山重水複疑無路，柳暗花明又一村”的感覺。

【小金山—風亭—本樨書屋】我們穿過徐國的後門，越過小虹橋，來到了小金山。小金山是怎樣形成的呢?原來在清朝時，為了使乾隆皇帝能直接乘船去平山堂，便新開一段蓮花埂新河，小金山就是用開挖出來的河泥人工堆積而成的。那時滿嶺遍植梅花，香氣四溢，故稱“梅嶺春深”。據説當初在堆土成山時，屢堆屢塌，三年不成，督工也急得頭暈眼花，一次在睡夢中，看見關羽帶領士兵正在打梅花樁，將木樁幾個一組打在河心，然後堆土成山。他猛然驚醒，立即仿效此法，十天後，果然堆成一座“小金山”。其後乾隆遊覽至此，聞聽此事大悦，左右乘機連媚説：“皇上南巡，感動天地神靈，連關帝也主動為皇上效力。”乾隆更加高興，即命重賞。

對了，剛才有位遊客問，揚州為什麼老是引用人家的名稱?杭州有個西湖，這裏就叫瘦西湖;鎮江有個金山，這裏就叫小金山。原來近人巧取瘦西湖之“瘦”，小金山之“小”，點明揚州園林之妙在於“借”，而借又借得巧，真是“借來西湖一角，堪誇其瘦;移來金山半點，何借乎小”。

下面我們沿着碗蜒山路，拾級而上，嶺上便是風亭，匾額為清代著名詩人、學者阮元所題。山不在高，貴在層次，水不在深，貴在曲折。此時俯瞰小金山，上有風亭，中有觀音閣，下有各種形式的廳堂，很有層次，四周碧水時寬時窄，時直時曲，使人感到變化無窮而又富有自然之勢。

古城揚州是歷史文化名城，瘦西湖一直有“翰墨園林”之稱，到處都顯示出文學藝術的特徵。現在我們來到了臨水而建的琴室，門前古柏兩株，樹齡都在2XX年以上，樹高過檐數丈，葱籠疊翠。請大家隨我走進琴室的庭院，請看東面花瓶門的石額上刻着“靜觀”兩，這是清代大書法家鄧石如的手筆。琴室後是木標書屋。遊客們：大家請保持安靜。為什麼?因為這裏是讀書所在，自然要安靜了。園內種有老桂樹15株，花開時節濃香醉人，又名“桂園”，木揮是桂花的別稱。

【吹台—五亭橋—白塔】各位遊客：在小金山西麓有一條岸柳成行的長堤，伸向湖心，長堤的頂端就是吹台，也叫“釣魚台”。提起釣魚台，我們會想起北京國賓館的釣魚台，另外還有陝西寶雞姜太公的釣魚台。揚州的釣魚台自有其高妙之處，伸出水面的小島，岸柳成行，寬丈許，長有百餘步，直插湖心。整個吹台既無繁雜的斗拱挑出，又無雕樑畫棟的富麗堂皇，而是素油塗抹樑檐，顯得樸實無華。釣魚台建於清乾隆年間，最初設計者的本意是：乾隆遊湖時，樂隊在其中彈奏江南絲竹，以助遊興，所以亭內有沙孟海題“吹台”匾。誰知有一次乾隆皇帝來到此地，覺得此處更宜釣魚，於是勃發釣魚之興。這下忙壞了手下人，管事的鹽商火速暗中挑選水手，潛入水下，以荷葉蓋頂，以荷莖換氣。每當乾隆落竿垂釣，水手就將活魚一條條掛上構去，乾隆舉竿魚躍，大家都喝彩歡騰，以為水神也從太君心意，鹽商也自然得到獎賞。現今檐口的“釣魚台”三匾，是書法家劉海粟所題。兩邊檻聯，上聯為“浩歌向蘭渚”，是唐代徐彥的佳句;下聯為“把釣待秋風”，是唐代杜甫的名言。吹台三面各開圓洞門，以門借景，有“三星拱照”之稱，為我國造園技藝中運用借景的傑出範例。

遊客們：前面橫跨瘦西湖南北兩岸，巍峨屹立在我們面前的這座環拱石橋就是五亭橋。五亭橋不僅是揚州瘦西湖的象徵，而且是全國風景名勝中獨一無二的景觀，因橋上建有五亭，大家便都稱它為“五亭橋”。此橋是由巡鹽御史高恆為迎奉乾隆第二次南巡(1757年)而建，又因為其形狀像一朵盛開的蓮花，所以又叫“蓮花橋”。全長55.5米，橋基平面分成12個大小不同的橋墩，最為獨特的是橋基，雖然用大塊青石砌成，但十分纖巧，橋亭比例適當，配置和諧，造橋者把橋基建成“艹”形，主橋為單曲拱橋，旁構4翼，每翼各有3個半拱的橋洞，連同引橋兩個扇形橋洞，共有15孔。孔孔相連，正面望去，連同倒影，形成5孔，大小各異，形狀各殊;泛舟橋下，孔孔相通，猶如城堡。蓮花出水似的五亭橋，結構巧妙，造型獨特，橋亭結合，氣勢宏偉，舉世無雙，被著名橋樑建築專家茅以升評價為“中國古城交通橋與觀賞橋結合的典範”。

五亭橋南面為蓮性寺，原稱“法海寺”，初建於元代，清康熙四十四年(17XX年)，改為“蓮性寺”。裏面有名的建築是白塔，巍峨矗立，已有近兩百年的歷史。塔身為磚結構，分三層，上層叫剎，中層是龕，均呈圓形，下層是塔基，為正方形。整個造型與北京北海白塔相似。據説這座白塔是一夜之間造成的。一天，乾隆的遊船到了五亭橋畔，忽然對揚州陪同官員説：“這裏多像京城北海的瓊島春陰啊，只可惜差一座白塔。”第二天清晨，乾隆開窗一看，只見五亭橋旁一座白塔巍然聳立，以為是從天而降，身旁的太監連忙跪奏道：“是鹽商大賈為彌補聖上游瘦西湖之憾，連夜趕製而成的。”原來這座白塔是八大鹽商之一的江春用萬金賄賂乾隆左右，根據北京白塔的圖樣，然後用鹽包為基礎，以紙紮為表面，在一夜之間製作而成的。儘管只可遠視，不可近攀，但乾隆不無感慨地説：“人道揚州鹽商富甲天下，果然名不虛傳。”當然真塔不可能是在一夜之間造成的，它究黨建於何年已無法考證。但白塔屬喇嘛塔，系藏傳佛教喇嘛教寺院裏的塔制，在瘦西湖中也僅作為點綴而且。它高27.5米，外形輪廓線也比北海白塔瘦長，塔座是磚雕的束腰須彌座，八角四面，每面三龕，龕內雕刻十二生肖像，象徵一年12個月，一天12個時辰。築台53級，象徵童子拜觀音的53參;相輪為13層，象徵天的最高處13天。正是：處處有象徵，時時有暗示，造園手法運用得十分巧妙。

【熙春台—望春樓—二十四橋—小李將軍畫本軒】各位遊客：不知你們是否發現我們剛才走過的路程，從虹橋到小金山為一折，湖面由南北轉為東西，過吹台，穿五亭橋到此又一折，湖面由東西轉為南北，直到蜀岡山麓。第二轉折處的起點就是前面那組氣勢恢宏的仿清建築——熙春台。所謂“熙春”是取《老子》“眾人熙熙，如登春台”之意，表現了一種春日登高，與大自然相融，超然自樂的境界。熙春台與小金山遙遙相對，都處在湖面轉折之處。它是當年乾隆皇帝祝壽的地方，因此處處體現出皇家園林富麗堂皇的宏大氣派。所有建築的瓦頂全用綠琉璃筒瓦，與遠處五亭橋的黃瓦朱棟，白塔的玉缽體金頂相映成趣。熙春台內的裝飾，使用了揚州漆器工藝，特別是這幅壁畫《玉女吹蕭圖》，採用揚州磨漆畫的工藝，表現出一羣唐代仕女歡歌豔舞的壯觀場面。

從熙春台向東隔湖相望，赫然入目的是望春樓，樓屋二層，翹角飛檐。上層半為露台，登台可覽園中秀景;樓下中為茶室，南北兩小間分別闢為山水庭院，頂部可見天日。

望春樓之西為“小李將軍畫本軒”，兩層之間有水池曲橋相連。小李將軍指的是誰呢?據記載，唐高宗時，宗室畫家李思訓，受封為右武衞將軍，人稱大李將軍，他兒子李昭道曾任揚州大都督府參軍，人稱小李將軍。“小李將軍畫本軒”是按李昭道的畫意設計的，由於“大李小李”共創了唐代“金碧山水畫派”，因此，我們今天透過扇形窗户觀賞對面熙春台金碧輝煌的廓影，可以聯想起盛唐藝術那種雍容華貴的氣象。

“青山隱隱水迢迢，秋盡江南草未調。二十四橋明月夜，玉人何處教吹蕭。”這是唐朝詩人杜牧留給我們的千古絕句，千百年來，二十四橋以其清麗俊爽的畫面，迷濛空幻的意境，浪漫悠揚的情調撥動了無數文人墨客的心絃。那麼二十四橋因何得名呢?讓我們帶着這個問題前來觀賞。過了畫本軒向北過小石橋西折便是那名聞遐邇的二十四橋了。請看，整座橋是用漢白玉砌成的單孔拱形石橋。它全長24米，寬2.4米，兩端各12級台階，兩邊各24根漢白玉雕柱，高、寬各2.4米。橋上雕飾明月圖案，秀麗典雅。橋東有貼壁黃石假山，西有熙春台，再現了唐詩中的詩情畫意。景區佔地約7公頃，為一組古典園林建築羣，整個景區在體現“兩堤花柳全依水，一路樓台直到山”的意境中起着承前啟後的作用。在這裏，我們並未見到二十四橋橋名，但卻處處暗示二十四之意。當然也有人説二十四橋指的是二十四座橋，然而我們對二十四橋似乎也不必作繁瑣的考證。倒不如對杜牧詩中那種“只可意會，不可言傳”的神奇股脱的意境去作一番細細的品味。正因為如此，歷史上才會有許多中外名人前來觀賞這裏的景觀。

1991年10月，xx陪同朝鮮勞動黨總書記金日成遊覽二十四橋景區時，他們走到杜牧的詩碑前，一起觀賞並朗誦了毛澤東手書的杜牧絕句。在熙春台，20名彈古箏的小朋友齊聲歡呼“金爺爺好”，併為金日成和江總書記彈奏了民樂《漁歌唱晚》，贏得了一片掌聲。

“二十四橋月如約，黃花開遍瘦西湖;西子范蠡今若在，不到杭州到揚州。”這是長期旅居國外的李鴻章的孫子李孔昕先生來遊覽瘦西湖後發出的感歎，不知各位對此有無同感。作為導遊的我衷心希望迷人的瘦西湖風采能撥動您的心絃，給您留下清新雋永的回憶。

各位遊客：如果把杭州西湖比作豐滿嫵媚的少婦，那麼揚州瘦西湖可比作清秀切娜的少女，因為杭州西湖給人一種雍容華貴的韻味，而揚州瘦西湖卻給人幾分纖柔羞怯的情意。多少年來，她那獨具的魅力，不僅使揚州人民喜往樂遊，也使不少海內外的文人名士為之傾倒，單單一個“瘦”，就引出許許多多詩人的佳句。早些年，鄧拓遊湖時，就對湖山風光讚賞不已，欣然成詩：“板橋歌吹古揚州，我作揚州三日遊;瘦了西湖情更好，人天美景不勝收。”

【名稱來歷—大虹橋—南門】

各位遊客：我國以“西湖”命名的景區有三四十處之多，而“瘦西湖”僅揚州一個。那麼她為什麼要定名為“瘦西湖”呢?瘦西湖地處揚州城西郊，原名“炮山河”，亦稱“保障河”，是隋唐時期由蜀同諸山之水，匯合安徽大別山東來的洞水流人運河的一段水道。它有50多公頃的遊覽面積，6公里多的遊程，一條曲水如錦帶，時展時收，猶如嫦娥起舞時拋向人間的五色飄帶，形態自然動人。後來改稱“瘦西湖”，是因為乾隆年間詩人汪沆將揚州保障河與杭州西湖作了一番比較，寫了一首詠贊保障河的詩：“垂楊不斷接殘蕪，雁齒虹橋儼畫圖;也是銷金一鍋子，故應喚作瘦西湖。”從此“瘦西湖”作為正式名稱，名聞中外。

“揚州好，第一是虹橋”，現在我們來到的地方就是名聞天下的瘦西湖第一景——大虹橋。這座橋是揚州二十四景之一，建於明崇份年間，橫跨保障湖水。原橋為木質紅欄，故名紅橋，清代乾隆元年改建為石橋。十五年後，巡鹽御史吉慶、普福、高恆相繼重建，並在橋上建橋亭，改“紅”為“虹”，意思是橋如彩虹。現已改建為7.6米寬的3孔低坡青石橋。虹橋在歷史上曾經名噪一時，乾隆皇帝遊揚州時也作詩讚賞虹橋的景色。有一次乾隆的遊船到虹橋，見一乞丐手執長竿，長竿端頭置一布袋，口中唸唸有詞，便門左右，此人在此作甚?紀曉嵐(清朝大臣)忙上前答道：是一乞丐，專在河邊吟詩乞討為生。乾隆聞聽下旨命令乞丐當面吟詩，乞丐不慌不忙地吟道：“三月煙花風流在，一代天君過紅橋。錦帆徐牽碧鏡裏，落霞貧賤照天燒。”乾隆不得不感歎：“揚州乞兒尚能作此詩，果然不愧為文昌之地。”而他自己也被撩動詩興，出詩應和：“綠濃春水飲長虹，錦纜徐牽碧鏡中;真在橫披畫裏過，平山迎面送春風。”今日大虹橋已成為進人瘦西湖的咽喉，登橋遠望，不僅可見湖水如帶，桃紅柳綠，畫航籤歌，更可見遠處小金山上的山亭，隱隱約約，似在招引我們，步入佳境。

各位遊客：現在展現在我們面前的這組恢宏建築，就是今日瘦西湖的南大門，她正敞開懷抱，熱情歡迎我們的到來。瘦西湖南大門像一道屏障，使瘦西湖諸景半藏半露，恰似美人“猶抱琵琶半遮面，千呼萬喚始出來”。門廳檐口的“瘦西湖”三匾，是揚州已故書法家孫龍父的手筆。門廳廊柱上一副檻聯這樣寫道：“天地本無私，春花秋月盡我留連，得閒便是主人，且莫間平泉草木;湖山倍多麗，傑閣幽亭憑誰點綴，到處別開生面，真不減清閟畫圖。”是晚清揚州詩人李逸休撰題，並由其女兒揚州著名書法家李聖和書寫的。有了這副祖聯，瘦西湖風光也更添了幾分滋力。幾年前，電視連續劇《紅樓夢》中“元妃省親”的那場重頭戲就是在這地拍攝的，讓我們像當年的元妃那樣登上掛揖蘭橈，透過珠簾繡幕，去縱情領略瘦西湖的風光吧!

【長堤春柳—小方亭—桃花塢】

各位遊客：步入大門，腳下一道長堤，逶迤北去。從虹橋直至徐園門前，是一條600米的長堤。東側是碧波盪漾的湖水，西側為花圃，路的兩邊三步一桃，五步一柳。沿途有五景，皆為清初鹽商黃為蒲所築。此景即稱“長堤春柳”。每當和煦春風吹到這裏時，那細細的柳絲就被染成嫩黃色，繼而吐出粒粒綠珠。春意盎然時，柳葉舒展了，桃花盛開了，湖上微風吹來，那柳絲們娜起舞，樹影婆婆，似青煙綠秀，漫步其間，怎不會令人人迷呢!這正如詩人陳其工所描寫的：“長堤春柳最依依，才過虹橋便人迷。”

春日踏訪柳堤是最有意趣的，漫步在這“問株楊柳間株桃”的長堤上，不知遊客們是否有心曠神怕的感受。堤雖長但並不顯得單調，請看前面堤畔的這座攢尖翹角式的四柱方亭，顯然是讓我們在此駐足，靜靜地揣摩欣賞這裏的景色。亭內面西的“長堤春柳”匾是清代進士揚州書法家陳重慶的手筆。聯題：“佳氣溢芳甸(趙孟頫句)，宿雲檐野川(元好問句)。”為揚州書畫家王板哉所書，登亭小想，使我們在領悟中又進入了新的意境。

堤邊的柳與別處是不同的，為什麼呢?據説，當年隋場帝開挖運河時，翰林學士虞世基建議在河堤兩岸大量插柳，既可護堤，又可遮蔭。隋揚帝大喜，並親手先栽一株，又賜垂柳姓楊，所以外地的柳樹到了揚州就稱楊柳，“多情最是揚州柳”，所以楊柳成了揚州的市樹。

如果説“長堤春柳”似東風二月，以桃紅柳綠間植取勝，那麼挑花塢則以成片桃林，雲霞散彩的氣派見長，的確是：“花落花飛飛滿天，紅消香斷有誰憐?”各位遊客：現在我們所在之處就叫桃花塢，電視連續劇《紅樓夢》拍攝時。黛玉的扮演者陳曉旭在此處以錦囊收桃花豔骨，埋於一環淨土之中，當她邊舞邊歌“儂今葬花人笑痴，他年葬依知是誰”時，連桃花雞的花瓣也籟籟飄落，似乎同情黛玉的不幸。

據野史記載，清代揚州八怪之一的金農曾在平山堂赴宴，席間以古人“飛紅”為題，行令賦詩。到了某鹽商時，因才思枯竭，無以為對，竟然説出“柳絮飛來片片紅”之句。金農為之解圍，説是古人確有該詩，併為之補全，詩説：“廿四橋邊廿四風，憑鬧猶憶舊江東。夕陽返照桃花塢，柳絮飛來片片紅。”眾人明知是金農即席杜撰，但不得不佩服金農的才思敏捷。

【四橋煙雨—徐園】

各位遊客：揚州素以橋鄉聞名，它與江南紹興一樣橋多、橋美，不同的是，紹興以樑橋為多，而揚州卻以拱橋見長。現在我們看到的這個景點叫“四橋煙雨”。此景建於康熙年間，以前為揚州北郊二十四景之一，曾經也是大鹽商的私家園林，登上這四橋煙雨樓，南面的虹橋，北面的長春橋，近處的春濃橋和西邊的五亭橋，都歷歷在目。每當風雨蕭蕭時，四橋就忽隱忽視，故稱“四橋煙雨”。可貴的是諸橋近在咫尺，橋橋不同，但這四座橋卻把湖水分割的景物相互銜接起來，又以各橋不同的落點和構架將全徹景點劃分為各具特色的若干區間，使每一風景區都呈現出各自獨特的韻味。難怪乾隆每次來揚州都要登臨四橋煙雨樓，憑窗眺望。“趣園”二便是乾隆第一次下江南時的御筆。

園中有園是瘦西湖的特色，前面一道高牆將大片湖水擋住，僅以一圓形的洞門引我們入內。清初這裏是韓園桃花塢故址。民國4年(191年)改為徐寶山洞堂，故名徐園。徐寶山曾任辛亥革命時的國民革命軍第二軍軍長，統管兩淮及八百里長江的緝私。他曾追隨孫中山，與清軍對陣作戰，其後又提出撤銷揚州軍政府，從而統一江蘇的主張。由於他輕視袁世凱，並趕走袁派來監視他的參謀長，袁世凱下毒手派人將他炸死。此時，曾與徐寶山共事過的著名書法家吉亮工不待請求，主動寫了“徐園”兩。剛揮毫時，他心情還比較沉重，所以“徐”為行楷，而後越寫越激動，以至寫“園”時，已按捺不住內心的激憤寫成了行草。徑雖逾尺，但兩配合和諧，筆力遭勁。

這一小小園林中有一館，一榭，一亭，外有曲水，內有池塘，花木竹石，恰到好處。此園是瘦西湖正門進入的第一個園，遊客一入其中頓感江南園林的精巧。未到過瘦西湖的人，就以為這就是瘦西湖的風貌，其實這正是構園者的苦心，給人以“山重水複疑無路，柳暗花明又一村”的感覺。

【小金山—風亭—本樨書屋】

我們穿過徐國的後門，越過小虹橋，來到了小金山。小金山是怎樣形成的呢?原來在清朝時，為了使乾隆皇帝能直接乘船去平山堂，便新開一段蓮花埂新河，小金山就是用開挖出來的河泥人工堆積而成的。那時滿嶺遍植梅花，香氣四溢，故稱“梅嶺春深”。據説當初在堆土成山時，屢堆屢塌，三年不成，督工也急得頭暈眼花，一次在睡夢中，看見關羽帶領士兵正在打梅花樁，將木樁幾個一組打在河心，然後堆土成山。他猛然驚醒，立即仿效此法，十天後，果然堆成一座“小金山”。其後乾隆遊覽至此，聞聽此事大悦，左右乘機連媚説：“皇上南巡，感動天地神靈，連關帝也主動為皇上效力。”乾隆更加高興，即命重賞。

對了，剛才有位遊客問，揚州為什麼老是引用人家的名稱?杭州有個西湖，這裏就叫瘦西湖;鎮江有個金山，這裏就叫小金山。原來近人巧取瘦西湖之“瘦”，小金山之“小”，點明揚州園林之妙在於“借”，而借又借得巧，真是“借來西湖一角，堪誇其瘦;移來金山半點，何借乎小”。

下面我們沿着碗蜒山路，拾級而上，嶺上便是風亭，匾額為清代著名詩人、學者阮元所題。山不在高，貴在層次，水不在深，貴在曲折。此時俯瞰小金山，上有風亭，中有觀音閣，下有各種形式的廳堂，很有層次，四周碧水時寬時窄，時直時曲，使人感到變化無窮而又富有自然之勢。

古城揚州是歷史文化名城，瘦西湖一直有“翰墨園林”之稱，到處都顯示出文學藝術的特徵。現在我們來到了臨水而建的琴室，門前古柏兩株，樹齡都在2XX年以上，樹高過檐數丈，葱籠疊翠。請大家隨我走進琴室的庭院，請看東面花瓶門的石額上刻着“靜觀”兩，這是清代大書法家鄧石如的手筆。琴室後是木標書屋。遊客們：大家請保持安靜。為什麼?因為這裏是讀書所在，自然要安靜了。園內種有老桂樹15株，花開時節濃香醉人，又名“桂園”，木揮是桂花的別稱。

【吹台—五亭橋—白塔】

各位遊客：在小金山西麓有一條岸柳成行的長堤，伸向湖心，長堤的頂端就是吹台，也叫“釣魚台”。提起釣魚台，我們會想起北京國賓館的釣魚台，另外還有陝西寶雞姜太公的釣魚台。揚州的釣魚台自有其高妙之處，伸出水面的小島，岸柳成行，寬丈許，長有百餘步，直插湖心。整個吹台既無繁雜的斗拱挑出，又無雕樑畫棟的富麗堂皇，而是素油塗抹樑檐，顯得樸實無華。釣魚台建於清乾隆年間，最初設計者的本意是：乾隆遊湖時，樂隊在其中彈奏江南絲竹，以助遊興，所以亭內有沙孟海題“吹台”匾。誰知有一次乾隆皇帝來到此地，覺得此處更宜釣魚，於是勃發釣魚之興。這下忙壞了手下人，管事的鹽商火速暗中挑選水手，潛入水下，以荷葉蓋頂，以荷莖換氣。每當乾隆落竿垂釣，水手就將活魚一條條掛上構去，乾隆舉竿魚躍，大家都喝彩歡騰，以為水神也從太君心意，鹽商也自然得到獎賞。現今檐口的“釣魚台”三匾，是書法家劉海粟所題。兩邊檻聯，上聯為“浩歌向蘭渚”，是唐代徐彥的佳句;下聯為“把釣待秋風”，是唐代杜甫的名言。吹台三面各開圓洞門，以門借景，有“三星拱照”之稱，為我國造園技藝中運用借景的傑出範例。

遊客們：前面橫跨瘦西湖南北兩岸，巍峨屹立在我們面前的這座環拱石橋就是五亭橋。五亭橋不僅是揚州瘦西湖的象徵，而且是全國風景名勝中獨一天二的景觀，因橋上建有五亭，大家便都稱它為“五亭橋”。此橋是由巡鹽御史高恆為迎奉乾隆第二次南巡(1757年)而建，又因為其形狀像一朵盛開的蓮花，所以又叫“蓮花橋”。全長55.5米，橋基平面分成12個大小不同的橋墩，最為獨特的是橋基，雖然用大塊青石砌成，但十分纖巧，橋亭比例適當，配置和諧，造橋者把橋基建成“艹”形，主橋為單曲拱橋，旁構4翼，每翼各有3個半拱的橋洞，連同引橋兩個扇形橋洞，共有15孔。孔孔相連，正面望去，連同倒影，形成5孔，大小各異，形狀各殊;泛舟橋下，孔孔相通，猶如城堡。蓮花出水似的五亭橋，結構巧妙，造型獨特，橋亭結合，氣勢宏偉，舉世無雙，被著名橋樑建築專家茅以升評價為“中國古城交通橋與觀賞橋結合的典範”。

五亭橋南面為蓮性寺，原稱“法海寺”，初建於元代，清康熙四十四年(17XX年)，改為“蓮性寺”。裏面有名的建築是白塔，巍峨矗立，已有近兩百年的歷史。塔身為磚結構，分三層，上層叫剎，中層是龕，均呈圓形，下層是塔基，為正方形。整個造型與北京北海白塔相似。據説這座白塔是一夜之間造成的。一天，乾隆的遊船到了五亭橋畔，忽然對揚州陪同官員説：“這裏多像京城北海的瓊島春陰啊，只可惜差一座白塔。”第二天清晨，乾隆開窗一看，只見五亭橋旁一座白塔巍然聳立，以為是從天而降，身旁的太監連忙跪奏道：“是鹽商大賈為彌補聖上游瘦西湖之憾，連夜趕製而成的。”原來這座白塔是八大鹽商之一的江春用萬金賄賂乾隆左右，根據北京白塔的圖樣，然後用鹽包為基礎，以紙紮為表面，在一夜之間製作而成的。儘管只可遠視，不可近攀，但乾隆不無感慨地説：“人道揚州鹽商富甲天下，果然名不虛傳。”當然真塔不可能是在一夜之間造成的，它究黨建於何年已無法考證。但白塔屬喇嘛塔，系藏傳佛教喇嘛教寺院裏的塔制，在瘦西湖中也僅作為點綴而且。它高27.5米，外形輪廓線也比北海白塔瘦長，塔座是磚雕的束腰須彌座，八角四面，每面三龕，龕內雕刻十二生肖像，象徵一年12個月，一天12個時辰。築台53級，象徵童子拜觀音的53參;相輪為13層，象徵天的最高處13天。正是：處處有象徵，時時有暗示，造園手法運用得十分巧妙。

【熙春台—望春樓—二十四橋—小李將軍畫本軒】

從虹橋到小金山為一折，湖面由南北轉為東西，過吹台，穿五亭橋到此又一折，湖面由東西轉為南北，直到蜀岡山麓。第二轉折處的起點就是前面那組氣勢恢宏的仿清建築——熙春台。所謂“熙春”是取《老子》“眾人熙熙，如登春台”之意，表現了一種春日登高，與大自然相融，超然自樂的境界。熙春台與小金山遙遙相對，都處在湖面轉折之處。它是當年乾隆皇帝祝壽的地方，因此處處體現出皇家園林富麗堂皇的宏大氣派。所有建築的瓦頂全用綠琉璃筒瓦，與遠處五亭橋的黃瓦朱棟，白塔的玉體金頂相映成趣。熙春台內的裝飾，使用了揚州漆器工藝，特別是這幅壁畫《玉女吹蕭圖》，採用揚州磨漆畫的工藝，表現出一羣唐代仕女歡歌豔舞的壯觀場面。

從熙春台向東隔湖相望，赫然入目的是望春樓，樓屋二層，翹角飛檐。上層半為露台，登台可覽園中秀景;樓下中為茶室，南北兩小間分別闢為山水庭院，頂部可見天日。

望春樓之西為“小李將軍畫本軒”，兩層之間有水池曲橋相連。小李將軍指的是誰呢?據記載，唐高宗時，宗室畫家李思訓，受封為右武衞將軍，人稱大李將軍，他兒子李昭道曾任揚州大都督府參軍，人稱小李將軍。“小李將軍畫本軒”是按李昭道的畫意設計的，由於“大李小李”共創了唐代“金碧山水畫派”，因此，我們今天透過扇形窗户觀賞對面熙春台金碧輝煌的廓影，可以聯想起盛唐藝術那種雍容華貴的氣象。

“青山隱隱水迢迢，秋盡江南草未調。二十四橋明月夜，玉人何處教吹蕭。”這是唐朝詩人杜牧留給我們的千古絕句，千百年來，二十四橋以其清麗俊爽的畫面，迷濛空幻的意境，浪漫悠揚的情調撥動了無數文人墨客的心絃。那麼二十四橋因何得名呢?讓我們帶着這個問題前來觀賞。過了畫本軒向北過小石橋西折便是那名聞遐邇的二十四橋了。請看，整座橋是用漢白玉砌成的單孔拱形石橋。它全長24米，寬2.4米，兩端各12級台階，兩邊各24根漢白玉雕柱，高、寬各2.4米。橋上雕飾明月圖案，秀麗典雅。橋東有貼壁黃石假山，西有熙春台，再現了唐詩中的詩情畫意。景區佔地約7公頃，為一組古典園林建築羣，整個景區在體現“兩堤花柳全依水，一路樓台直到山”的意境中起着承前啟後的作用。在這裏，我們並未見到二十四橋橋名，但卻處處暗示二十四之意。當然也有人説二十四橋指的是二十四座橋，然而我們對二十四橋似乎也不必作繁瑣的考證。倒不如對杜牧詩中那種“只可意會，不可言傳”的神奇股脱的意境去作一番細細的品味。正因為如此，歷史上才會有許多中外名人前來觀賞這裏的景觀。

1991年10月，xx陪同朝鮮勞動黨總書記金日成遊覽二十四橋景區時，他們走到杜牧的詩碑前，一起觀賞並朗誦了毛澤東手書的杜牧絕句。在熙春台，20名彈古箏的小朋友齊聲歡呼“金爺爺好”，併為金日成和江總書記彈奏了民樂《漁歌唱晚》，贏得了一片掌聲。

“二十四橋月如約，黃花開遍瘦西湖;西子范蠡今若在，不到杭州到揚州。”這是長期旅居國外的李鴻章的孫子李孔昕先生來遊覽瘦西湖後發出的感歎，不知各位對此有無同感。作為導遊的我衷心希望迷人的瘦西湖風采能撥動您的心絃，給您留下清新雋永的回憶。

“天下西湖，三十有六”，惟揚州的西湖，以其清秀婉麗的風姿獨異諸湖，佔得一個恰如其分的“瘦”。

瘦西湖風景區是蜀岡-瘦西湖國家重點風景名勝區的核心和精華部分。一泓曲水宛如錦帶，如飄如拂，時放時收，較之杭州西湖，另有一種清瘦的神韻。隋唐時期，瘦西湖沿岸陸續建園。及至清代，由於康熙、乾隆兩代帝王六度“南巡”，形成了“兩堤花柳全依水，一路樓台直到山”的盛況。清代錢塘詩人汪沆將揚州西湖與杭州西湖作了對比，寫道：“垂楊不斷接殘蕪，雁齒虹橋儼畫圖。也是銷金一鍋子，故應喚作瘦西湖。”瘦西湖由此得名，且為人們所首肯，至今名播中外。

瘦西湖風景區為我國湖上園林的代表，古典園林羣融南秀北雄於一體，組合巧妙，互為因借，構成了一個以瘦西湖為共同空間，景外有景，園中有園的藝術境界，歷史上有二十四景著稱於世。窈窕曲折的一湖碧水，串以卷石洞天、西園曲水、虹橋攬勝、長堤春柳、荷浦薰風、四橋煙雨、梅嶺春深、水雲勝概、白塔晴雲、春台明月、三過留蹤、蜀岡晚照、萬鬆疊翠、花嶼雙泉諸勝，顆顆明珠鑲嵌交織在玉帶上，形成了一幅秀色天然的立體山水畫卷，而小金山、五亭橋、二十四橋景區是這幅畫卷的神來之筆。

瘦西湖的美麗景緻，很早就為人們所向往。清人劉大觀言：“杭州以湖山勝，蘇州以市肆勝，揚州以園亭勝”。另一位清人沈復在《浮生六記》中讚道：“奇思幻想，點綴天然，即閬苑瑤池，瓊樓玉宇，諒不過此。其妙處在十餘家之園亭合而為一，聯絡至山，氣勢俱貫。”歷史上李白、劉禹錫、白居易、杜牧、歐陽修、蘇軾、王漁洋、蒲松齡、孔尚任、吳敬梓、郁達夫、朱自清等文化名人都在這一帶留下或深或淺的足跡和眾多膾炙人口的篇章。“煙花三月下揚州”、 “園林多是宅，車馬少於船”、 “二十四橋明月夜，玉人何處教吹簫”、 “珠簾十里卷春風”、“綠楊城郭是揚州”等數不清的名言佳句，流傳千古，為瘦西湖增添了耀眼的濃墨重彩。

瘦西湖風景區正因其悠久、豐富的人文景觀、秀麗典雅的自然風韻，成為古今中外賓客紛至沓來的著名的遊覽勝地。

瘦西湖風景區是首批中國優秀旅遊城市揚州的重要對外窗口，擁有國家重點風景名勝區、國家“aaaa”級旅遊區、全國文明風景旅遊區示範點等殊榮。近年來，瘦西湖風景區不斷開發建設景區、景點，面積已達168.32公頃，食、行、遊、購、娛等旅遊配套設施日趨完善，隨着iso9001國際質量體系的認證，將為新世紀的可持續發展和走向國際旅遊市場注入新的內涵。

十里湖光，清澄縹碧，花木扶疏，連綿滴翠，亭台樓榭，錯落有致。人文景觀，獨具風韻。瘦西湖正向八方遊客敞開懷抱，熱情歡迎遠道而來的佳賓高朋。

五亭橋

瘦西湖在全國園林中獨樹一幟，五亭橋又是瘦西湖的標誌，在全國園林中有一席之地。其最大的特點是陰柔陽剛的完美結合，南秀北雄的有機融和。該橋建於蓮花堤上，是清乾隆二十二年(1757)巡鹽御史高恆所建，是因為建於蓮花堤上，還是因為形狀象一朵盛開的蓮花，所以它又叫蓮花橋。

據説，乾隆南巡到此曾感歎它象瓊島春陰之景，這就點出了該橋是借鑑北京北海之景。確實，該橋受北海五龍亭的影響很深，五龍亭五亭臨水而建，中日龍澤，重檐下方上圓，象徵天圓地方;西為湧瑞、浮翠，湧瑞為方形重檐，浮翠為方形單檐;東為澄祥、滋香，澄祥為方形重檐。五亭皆綠琉璃瓦頂，亭與亭之間有石樑相連，婉轉若游龍，另龍澤、滋香、浮翠三亭有單孔石橋與石岸相接，珠欄畫棟，照耀漣漪。

揚州五亭橋無北海開闊水面，當然無法把五龍亭照搬。但聰明的工匠別出蹊徑，將亭、橋結合，形成亭橋，分之為五亭，羣聚於一橋，亭與亭之間以短廊相接，形成完整的屋面。橋亭秀，橋基雄，兩者如何配置和諧呢?這裏關鍵是如何把橋基建得纖巧，與橋亭比例適當，配置和諧。造橋者把橋身建成拱卷形，由三種不同的卷洞聯繫，橋孔共有十五個，中心橋孔最大，跨度為7.13米，呈大的半圓形，直貫東西，旁邊十二橋孔佈置在橋礎三面，可通南北，亦呈小的半圓形，橋階洞則為扇形，可通東西。正面望去，連同倒影，形成五孔，大小不一，形狀各殊，這樣就在厚重的橋基上，安排了空靈的拱卷，在直線的拼縫轉角中安置了曲線的橋洞，與橋亭自然就配置和諧了。難怪後人把橋基比成北方威武的勇士，而把橋亭比做南方秀美的少女，這是力與美的結合，壯與秀的和諧。

白塔

揚州至今還流傳着“一夜造白塔”的故事。該故事出於《清朝野史大觀》。一天，乾隆在瘦西湖中游覽，船到五亭橋畔，忽然對揚州陪同官員説：“這裏多象京城北海的瓊島春陰啊，只可惜差一座白塔”。第二天清晨，皇帝開軒一看，只見五亭橋旁一座白塔巍然聳立，以為是從天而降，身旁的太監連忙跪奏道：“是鹽商大賈，為彌補聖上游西湖之憾，連夜趕製而成的”。據説，是八大鹽商之一的江春用萬金賄賂乾隆左右，請畫成圖，然後一夜之音用鹽包為基礎，以紙紮為表面推成的。儘管只可遠視，不可近攀，但乾隆不無感慨地説：“人道揚州鹽商富甲天下，果然名不虛傳”。

傳説是無稽的，舊塔建於何年，已不可考。因喇嘛塔，原屬藏語系佛教中喇嘛教寺院的塔制，元代以降，漸行全國，清乾隆四十九年(1784)兩淮鹽總江春集資仿北京北海白塔，就舊塔基建造。《揚州畫舫錄》點明，該塔是“仿京師萬歲山塔式”。但型制已大有區別。北海的白塔是寺廟塔，肚大頭細，高35.9米，下為高大的磚石台基，塔座為折角式的須彌座。揚塔雖取喇嘛教寺院的塔制，但在瘦西湖僅為點綴，系園林塔，另則揚州的建築都以柔秀見長，因此取其形式，改換面目。一是降低高度，揚州的白塔僅27.5米;二是外形輪廊線變得秀美，使之身子縮小，其相輪(十三層級)也較北海塔瘦長，這樣揚州的塔形似花瓶了;三是發揮磚刻特長，塔座全是磚雕的束腰須彌座，座為八角四面，每面三龕，龕內磚雕十二生肖像，象徵一年十二，一天十二時辰，築台五十三級，象徵童子拜觀音的五十三參圖，相輪為十三層，象徵天的最高處十三天。

處處有象徵，處處有暗示，揚州造園藝術的手法巧妙揉合於外來景緻之中。著名建築家陳從周在《園林談叢》中曾將北海塔和揚州的搭進行對比，説：“然比例秀勻，玉立亭亭，晴雲臨水，有別於北海塔的厚重工穩。”可見北方之景到了南方也隨鄉入俗，雄壯之氣鋭減，窈窕氣質倍增了。

小李將軍畫本

揚州瘦西湖的“小李將軍畫本”景點，是鄭板橋為景題匾，東有望春樓，西有熙春台，這是按唐代畫家李昭道的畫意建的閣。唐高宗時，宗室畫家李思訓，受封為右武衞將軍，時人稱大李將軍。1961年紀念古代十大畫家，李思訓即為其中之一。高宗時他任江都令，他們一家人俱善丹青。弟思誨，曾任揚州大都督府參軍。子李昭道，稱小李將軍。三人均善山水。

“花為畫本，月為詩源”，此建築西面是兩個扇形窗，東面是兩個六角窗，站在屋內的不同角度向窗外望去，只見對面景色時時變換，窗框儼然畫框，這種框景藝術正是李漁所説的“無心畫”，而窗外所見正是花和月，是詩人畫家的“本”和“源”。可見該景區實在是為詩人、詞人、畫家所設，按其生活創作喜好安排建築，配上相應的匾額聯對，人們可感受到氤氲的文人氣息和撲鼻的翰墨之香。

二十四橋

“青山隱隱水迢迢，秋盡江南草未凋。二十四橋明月夜，玉人何處教吹簫”。這首詩已流傳了一千多年，可謂婦孺皆知。詩因橋而詠出，橋因詩而聞名。單項式橋名就引動多少文人學者打了一千多年的筆墨官司。

《揚州鼓吹詞》説：“是橋因古之二十四美人吹簫於此，故名”。據説二十四橋原為吳家磚橋，周圍山青水秀，風光旖旎，本是文人歡聚，歌*吟唱之地。唐代時有二十四歌女，一個個姿容媚豔，體態輕盈，曾於月明之夜來此吹簫弄笛，巧遇杜牧，其中一名歌女特地折素花獻上，請杜牧賦詩。

傳説是優美的，也有野史説成是隋煬帝的作為，二十四橋即煬帝以歌女數改名，但無以稽考，只能留給後人鑑賞。宋代沈括是以嚴謹著稱的，他在《補筆談》中，對二十四橋一一考證，論證揚州確有二十四橋，證明了揚州無愧於“橋鄉”的稱號。曹雪芹在《紅樓夢》中借黛玉思鄉之情，特別提到：“春花秋月，水秀山明，二十四橋，六朝遺蹟……”。

文學家朱自清也曾滿懷激情地追憶故鄉“城裏城外古蹟很多，如‘文選樓’、‘天保城’、‘雷塘’、‘二十四橋’。”

廿四橋為單孔拱橋，漢白玉欄杆，如玉帶飄逸，似霓虹卧波。該橋長24米，寬2.4米，欄柱24根，台級24層，似乎處處都與二十四對應。潔白欄板上彩雲追月的浮雕，橋與水銜接處巧雲狀湖石堆疊，周圍遍植馥郁丹桂，使人隨時看到雲、水、花、月，體會到“二十四橋明月夜”的妙境，遙想杜牧當年的風流佳話。沿階拾級而下，橋旁即為吹簫亭，亭臨水邊橋畔，小巧別緻，亭前有平台，圍以石座，若在月明之夜，清輝籠罩，波涵月影，畫舫拍波，有數十歌女。淡粧素裹，在台上吹簫弄笛，婉轉悠揚，天上的月華，船內的燈影，水面的波光融在一起，使人覺得好象在銀河中前行。橋上簫聲，船上歌聲，岸邊笑聲匯在一起，此時再詠誦“天下三分明月夜，二分無賴是揚州”，你定會為唐代詩人徐凝的精妙描寫撫掌稱絕。

靜香書屋

石壁流淙，原為徐氏別墅，乾隆乙酉年間，乾隆南巡，賜名“水竹居”。這個園輦巧石、磊奇峯、瀉泉水。其石峯森然突怒而出，平如刀削，峭如劍利，山頂峭壁摩空，泉水從石縫間，匹練懸空，掛岸盤溪，披苔裂石，激射柔滑，使湖水全活，故名曰“淙”。這淙流，是眾水攢聚在一起，由高向低衝擊，形成瀑布。其懸瀑下落如風快，聲響似驚雷，臨水時水花向四面飛濺，蔚為壯觀。此處景點甚多，且很具特色，著名紅學家周汝昌先生曾指出《紅樓夢》中最主要景點怡紅院就是以揚州水竹居作為藍本的。靜香書屋不是有意以《紅樓夢》中大觀園為藍本，而是按舊時《揚州畫舫錄》的記載，清代園林檔案中的效果圖復建。但步行其間，卻與大觀園景色那樣相契相合。主廳為捲棚式，面水而建，一汪碧水中睡蓮婀娜，游魚戲水，一艘畫舫卧波，亭廊環圍橋閘，黃石構築的假山上翼然飛亭。

建築多以“半制”取勝。即舫為半舫，亭為半亭，月洞口旁的美人靠也僅有一半。但這一個個的“半”又以廊、牆或遮或掩或放或收，打破了舊式園林的對稱規整，顯得輕靈活潑。書房內，松林梅的木雕罩格，條几上供桌屏、花瓶，書桌上置文房四寶，多寶架上擺放線裝古書，圓桌上一盤圍棋，使人一進其中立即體味到《紅樓夢》中富貴閒人的灑脱和聰慧，停足其間，仔細把玩，餘味無窮。

瘦西湖風景區是首批中國優秀旅遊城市揚州的重要對外窗口，擁有國家重點風景名勝區、國家“AAAA”級旅遊區、全國文明風景旅遊區示範點等殊榮。近年來，瘦西湖風景區不斷開發建設景區、景點，面積已達168.32公頃，食、行、遊、購、娛等旅遊配套設施日趨完善，隨着ISO9001國際質量體系的認證，將為新世紀的可持續發展和走向國際旅遊市場注入新的內涵。

十里湖光，清澄縹碧，花木扶疏，連綿滴翠，亭台樓榭，錯落有致。人文景觀，獨具風韻。瘦西湖正向八方遊客敞開懷抱，熱情歡迎遠道而來的佳賓高朋。

五亭橋

瘦西湖在全國園林中獨樹一幟，五亭橋又是瘦西湖的標誌，在全國園林中有一席之地。其最大的特點是陰柔陽剛的完美結合，南秀北雄的有機融和。該橋建於蓮花堤上，是清乾隆二十二年（1757）巡鹽御史高恆所建，是因為建於蓮花堤上，還是因為形狀象一朵盛開的蓮花，所以它又叫蓮花橋。

據説，乾隆南巡到此曾感歎它象瓊島春陰之景，這就點出了該橋是借鑑北京北海之景。確實，該橋受北海五龍亭的影響很深，五龍亭五亭臨水而建，中日龍澤，重檐下方上圓，象徵天圓地方；西為湧瑞、浮翠，湧瑞為方形重檐，浮翠為方形單檐；東為澄祥、滋香，澄祥為方形重檐。五亭皆綠琉璃瓦頂，亭與亭之間有石樑相連，婉轉若游龍，另龍澤、滋香、浮翠三亭有單孔石橋與石岸相接，珠欄畫棟，照耀漣漪。

揚州五亭橋無北海開闊水面，當然無法把五龍亭照搬。但聰明的工匠別出蹊徑，將亭、橋結合，形成亭橋，分之為五亭，羣聚於一橋，亭與亭之間以短廊相接，形成完整的屋面。橋亭秀，橋基雄，兩者如何配置和諧呢？這裏關鍵是如何把橋基建得纖巧，與橋亭比例適當，配置和諧。造橋者把橋身建成拱卷形，由三種不同的卷洞聯繫，橋孔共有十五個，中心橋孔最大，跨度為7.13米，呈大的半圓形，直貫東西，旁邊十二橋孔佈置在橋礎三面，可通南北，亦呈小的半圓形，橋階洞則為扇形，可通東西。正面望去，連同倒影，形成五孔，大小不一，形狀各殊，這樣就在厚重的橋基上，安排了空靈的拱卷，在直線的拼縫轉角中安置了曲線的橋洞，與橋亭自然就配置和諧了。難怪後人把橋基比成北方威武的勇士，而把橋亭比做南方秀美的少女，這是力與美的結合，壯與秀的和諧。

白塔

揚州至今還流傳着“一夜造白塔”的故事。該故事出於《清朝野史大觀》。一天，乾隆在瘦西湖中游覽，船到五亭橋畔，忽然對揚州陪同官員説：“這裏多象京城北海的瓊島春陰啊，只可惜差一座白塔”。第二天清晨，皇帝開軒一看，只見五亭橋旁一座白塔巍然聳立，以為是從天而降，身旁的太監連忙跪奏道：“是鹽商大賈，為彌補聖上游西湖之憾，連夜趕製而成的”。據説，是八大鹽商之一的江春用萬金賄賂乾隆左右，請畫成圖，然後一夜之音用鹽包為基礎，以紙紮為表面推成的。儘管只可遠視，不可近攀，但乾隆不無感慨地説：“人道揚州鹽商富甲天下，果然名不虛傳”。

傳説是無稽的，舊塔建於何年，已不可考。因喇嘛塔，原屬藏語系佛教中喇嘛教寺院的塔制，元代以降，漸行全國，清乾隆四十九年（1784）兩淮鹽總江春集資仿北京北海白塔，就舊塔基建造。《揚州畫舫錄》點明，該塔是“仿京師萬歲山塔式”。但型制已大有區別。北海的白塔是寺廟塔，肚大頭細，高35.9米，下為高大的磚石台基，塔座為折角式的須彌座。揚塔雖取喇嘛教寺院的塔制，但在瘦西湖僅為點綴，系園林塔，另則揚州的建築都以柔秀見長，因此取其形式，改換面目。一是降低高度，揚州的白塔僅27.5米；二是外形輪廊線變得秀美，使之身子縮小，其相輪（十三層級）也較北海塔瘦長，這樣揚州的塔形似花瓶了；三是發揮磚刻特長，塔座全是磚雕的束腰須彌座，座為八角四面，每面三龕，龕內磚雕十二生肖像，象徵一年十二，一天十二時辰，築台五十三級，象徵童子拜觀音的五十三參圖，相輪為十三層，象徵天的最高處十三天。

處處有象徵，處處有暗示，揚州造園藝術的手法巧妙揉合於外來景緻之中。著名建築家陳從周在《園林談叢》中曾將北海塔和揚州的搭進行對比，説：“然比例秀勻，玉立亭亭，晴雲臨水，有別於北海塔的厚重工穩。”可見北方之景到了南方也隨鄉入俗，雄壯之氣鋭減，窈窕氣質倍增了。

小李將軍畫本

揚州瘦西湖的“小李將軍畫本”景點，是鄭板橋為景題匾，東有望春樓，西有熙春台，這是按唐代畫家李昭道的畫意建的閣。唐高宗時，宗室畫家李思訓，受封為右武衞將軍，時人稱大李將軍。1961年紀念古代十大畫家，李思訓即為其中之一。高宗時他任江都令，他們一家人俱善丹青。弟思誨，曾任揚州大都督府參軍。子李昭道，稱小李將軍。三人均善山水。

“花為畫本，月為詩源”，此建築西面是兩個扇形窗，東面是兩個六角窗，站在屋內的不同角度向窗外望去，只見對面景色時時變換，窗框儼然畫框，這種框景藝術正是李漁所説的“無心畫”，而窗外所見正是花和月，是詩人畫家的“本”和“源”。可見該景區實在是為詩人、詞人、畫家所設，按其生活創作喜好安排建築，配上相應的匾額聯對，人們可感受到氤氲的文人氣息和撲鼻的翰墨之香。

二十四橋

“青山隱隱水迢迢，秋盡江南草未凋。二十四橋明月夜，玉人何處教吹簫”。這首詩已流傳了一千多年，可謂婦孺皆知。詩因橋而詠出，橋因詩而聞名。單項式橋名就引動多少文人學者打了一千多年的筆墨官司。

《揚州鼓吹詞》説：“是橋因古之二十四美人吹簫於此，故名”。據説二十四橋原為吳家磚橋，周圍山青水秀，風光旖旎，本是文人歡聚，歌*吟唱之地。唐代時有二十四歌女，一個個姿容媚豔，體態輕盈，曾於月明之夜來此吹簫弄笛，巧遇杜牧，其中一名歌女特地折素花獻上，請杜牧賦詩。

傳説是優美的，也有野史説成是隋煬帝的作為，二十四橋即煬帝以歌女數改名，但無以稽考，只能留給後人鑑賞。宋代沈括是以嚴謹著稱的，他在《補筆談》中，對二十四橋一一考證，論證揚州確有二十四橋，證明了揚州無愧於“橋鄉”的稱號。曹雪芹在《紅樓夢》中借黛玉思鄉之情，特別提到：“春花秋月，水秀山明，二十四橋，六朝遺蹟……”。

文學家朱自清也曾滿懷激情地追憶故鄉“城裏城外古蹟很多，如‘文選樓’、‘天保城’、‘雷塘’、‘二十四橋’。”

廿四橋為單孔拱橋，漢白玉欄杆，如玉帶飄逸，似霓虹卧波。該橋長24米，寬2.4米，欄柱24根，台級24層，似乎處處都與二十四對應。潔白欄板上彩雲追月的浮雕，橋與水銜接處巧雲狀湖石堆疊，周圍遍植馥郁丹桂，使人隨時看到雲、水、花、月，體會到“二十四橋明月夜”的妙境，遙想杜牧當年的風流佳話。沿階拾級而下，橋旁即為吹簫亭，亭臨水邊橋畔，小巧別緻，亭前有平台，圍以石座，若在月明之夜，清輝籠罩，波涵月影，畫舫拍波，有數十歌女。淡粧素裹，在台上吹簫弄笛，婉轉悠揚，天上的月華，船內的燈影，水面的波光融在一起，使人覺得好象在銀河中前行。橋上簫聲，船上歌聲，岸邊笑聲匯在一起，此時再詠誦“天下三分明月夜，二分無賴是揚州”，你定會為唐代詩人徐凝的精妙描寫撫掌稱絕。

靜香書屋

石壁流淙，原為徐氏別墅，乾隆乙酉年間，乾隆南巡，賜名“水竹居”。這個園輦巧石、磊奇峯、瀉泉水。其石峯森然突怒而出，平如刀削，峭如劍利，山頂峭壁摩空，泉水從石縫間，匹練懸空，掛岸盤溪，披苔裂石，激射柔滑，使湖水全活，故名曰“淙”。這淙流，是眾水攢聚在一起，由高向低衝擊，形成瀑布。其懸瀑下落如風快，聲響似驚雷，臨水時水花向四面飛濺，蔚為壯觀。此處景點甚多，且很具特色，著名紅學家周汝昌先生曾指出《紅樓夢》中最主要景點怡紅院就是以揚州水竹居作為藍本的。靜香書屋不是有意以《紅樓夢》中大觀園為藍本，而是按舊時《揚州畫舫錄》的記載，清代園林檔案中的效果圖復建。但步行其間，卻與大觀園景色那樣相契相合。主廳為捲棚式，面水而建，一汪碧水中睡蓮婀娜，游魚戲水，一艘畫舫卧波，亭廊環圍橋閘，黃石構築的假山上翼然飛亭。

建築多以“半制”取勝。即舫為半舫，亭為半亭，月洞口旁的美人靠也僅有一半。但這一個個的“半”又以廊、牆或遮或掩或放或收，打破了舊式園林的對稱規整，顯得輕靈活潑。書房內，松林梅的木雕罩格，條几上供桌屏、花瓶，書桌上置文房四寶，多寶架上擺放線裝古書，圓桌上一盤圍棋，使人一進其中立即體味到《紅樓夢》中富貴閒人的灑脱和聰慧，停足其間，仔細把玩，餘味無窮。
