Ningbo's Liangzhu Cultural Park is a beautiful park equipped with a variety of facilities and services. It has hosted multiple editions of the National Liangzhu Love Festival.
寧波梁祝文化公園風(fēng)景秀麗，休閑娛樂活動眾多，擁有完善的配套服務(wù)，曾多次舉辦盛會——中國梁祝愛情節(jié)。
In the area where the Park is located, there used to be a temple commemorating Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the "Butterfly Lovers" from Chinese mythology. Locals would hold a festival every year in the eighth lunar month to honor their everlasting love.
梁祝文化園是在梁祝墓、廟古址所在地上建造起來的。每年農(nóng)歷八月，當(dāng)?shù)囟紩e行傳統(tǒng)的廟會，以紀(jì)念梁祝之間的愛情故事。
Local historical records claim that there really was a man named Liang Shanbo who studied alongside a woman named Zhu Yingtai in his youth. Liang served as the magistrate of Yinxian (present-day Yinzhou) for three years, then fell fatally ill due to excessive physical strain after overseeing a local flood control project. Liang asked to be buried at Jiulongxu, which is where the Park stands today.
據(jù)《寧波府志》等史志上記載，梁山伯與祝英臺曾為同窗好友，梁山伯完成學(xué)業(yè)后便任鄞縣縣令三年，因治水積勞病逝，遺命安葬于梁祝文化園所在地高橋九龍墟。
The discovery of Liang Shanbo's tomb and archeological artefacts at the Park adds more credibility to the legend.
現(xiàn)古墓遺址和出土文物已被發(fā)掘，為這個傳說增添了可信度。
Over the years, the Park has hosted numerous events celebrating the Butterfly Lovers' tale, including the National Liangzhu Love Festival, the Liangzhu Love Carnival, the Liangzhu Commemoration Stamp Issue Ceremony, the Liangzhu Blind Date, the Liangzhu Matchmaking Fair, and the Liangzhu Cultural Festival.
多年來，梁祝文化園承辦了中國梁祝愛情節(jié)、愛在梁祝嘉年華、梁祝郵票首發(fā)儀式、梁祝萬人相親會、梁祝天地婚嫁集市、梁祝文化節(jié)等活動。
If you are interested in this traditional tale of immortal love, the Liangzhu Cultural Park is definitely worth a visit. It delights visitors from all over the world with its unique charm.
如果你向往一段至死不渝的愛情，梁祝文化園絕對值得一游，它以其獨(dú)特的魅力吸引著國內(nèi)外游客。
