The name of the Humble Administrator's Garden comes from a passage in the Jin Dynasty's "Idle Residence Fu": "It is also my foolish policy to build a room and plant trees and enjoy ourselves." However, in the next 500 years, the park changed owners repeatedly, and haunted things kept popping up, such as concubines jumping into wells and children drowning carelessly, and there was no fun at all. Although the owners of gardens in past dynasties were either rich or expensive, no one could escape the curse. It can be said that whoever lived was unlucky. Only one year after the death of the first owner of the garden, Wang, his son lost the whole garden overnight because of gambling. However, it was a bleak evening when Cao Xueqin's family, a close relative of the country, bought the garden. Some people analyze that being clumsy means bad, but it means waving. As for the real cause of the disaster in this garden, let's look at the rockery at the door first.
This decorated Yunfeng was originally intended to be used as a screen wall, which can not only keep anger out of the door, but also hide wealth in silence. However, this mountain is very rugged. 1945, which was finally cut down by lightning. 195 1, descendants in the park claimed to donate the park to the country. After 60 years of vigorous repair and careful management by relevant departments, this rockery has been restored again.
The rockery with big and small turtles is the evolution of the shape of the dragon turtle, one of the four famous Swiss beasts. It means to go home in splendor, usually at the back of the house. Designer Wen Zhiming somehow put it in the front yard.
The humble administrator's garden is characterized by its ingenious layout. It looks like a pagoda in the garden, but it is actually the North Temple Pagoda more than 2,500 meters away. Wen Zhiming, an ingenious borrowing scene, has brought unexpected surprises to tourists for hundreds of years. However, in today's smog, whether we can borrow the pagoda depends mainly on the weather. The pond in the garden covers an area of nearly six acres, accounting for about one-third of the total area. Feng Shui believes that water is negative, and there are more trees and more water, which makes the Humble Administrator's Garden full of yin and damages popularity.
In order to pay tribute to Lin Bu, a famous poet of the Northern Song Dynasty who lived in seclusion with Mei's wife and crane in the south of the Yangtze River, Mei also raised cranes in the Humble Administrator's Garden. Every January, Chimonanthus praecox blooms in fragrance and becomes the biggest attraction of Humble Administrator's Garden in winter. However, there is an old saying: plum blossoms are planted at home for a year, and they are moldy, selling houses and fields. This should also be an important reason why the Humble Administrator's Garden can only be used as a painting instead of a home.
Judging from the pattern of geomantic omen, Humble Administrator's Garden presents the pattern of front house and back garden. The residence faces south, with four entrances and two parallel axes. The main axis consists of screen wall, boathouse, gate, gate, sedan chair hall, river crossing hall and main room. The lateral axis is arranged with Yuanyang Flower Basket Hall, Flower Hall, Square Hall, Louting and Small Garden. The two axes are separated and connected by a long and narrow lane.
No matter how good the pattern is, the geomantic elements in the pattern should also conform to the geomantic statutes. Evaluating the feng shui effect of a building depends on the fortune of its owner after owning its house.
From this point of view, after the completion of the Humble Administrator's Garden, it has experienced more than 400 years of vicissitudes, changed its owner several times and was abolished several times. The reason is that the hand of Feng Shui is playing with the string of human destiny.
From entering the garden gate to visiting the panoramic view of the garden, there are always rugged rocks, flowing bridges and lush trees. Although the landscape of the garden is dotted, there is a sense of suffocation and yin in the feng shui pattern. Carefully combing my investigation results, I found that this famous garden in the south of the Yangtze River has many failures in geomantic omen.
One of the failures of geomantic omen: the rockery is rugged and full of vitality.
Walking into the Humble Administrator's Garden, you can see a rockery, which is intended to act as a screen to keep anger out of the door, but also to hide wealth without publicity. But this rockery has no water conservation, and the peak is heavy.
Rocks have many sharp corners, which often hurt people. When I surveyed Feng Shui in a friend's house in Shaodong, Hunan Province and a boss's house in Jieyang, Guangdong Province, I found that stones near houses would hurt people. These two families should either be seriously ill and die young, or die in a car accident.
The second failure of feng shui: committing feng shui taboos
Many of its buildings are forbidden by geomantic omen. For example, the gate faces Gengyou Mountain and sits in a small space; Liuting Pavilion and Eighteen Datura Gardens are in the middle of Renshan Mountain. Xiaocanglang is a small gap in the middle of Bingwu Mountain. Relying on Yuting for Jiashan Geng Xiangtian; Yuanxiangtang is Renzishan, Bingwu to Xiaokang and so on. Geomantic omen is taboo. Generally, buildings are empty, and there is a saying that money is lost.
