Now the whole park covers an area of about 50 mu, which can be roughly divided into three scenic spots: central, east, west and north. At the same time, they are connected by curved corridors. It is circuitous and continuous, reaching more than 700 meters. It's quiet and beautiful here.
The central part is the original base of Hanbi Villa, with a wide pool in the middle, mountains in the west and north, and buildings in the east and south. The rockery is dominated by earth and stacked with Yellowstone, which is magnificent. There are towering old trees on the mountain, showing a gloomy atmosphere of the forest. The water meandering among folk songs is like the source of pool water. Bishanfang and Minse Buildings in China are the superstructure of ancient gardens, with pavilions similar to the front houses. The open hall is like a cabin in the middle. Shaped like a painting boat. There is a green corridor on the east side of the pavilion, which is small and elegant. Between the water hanging and the railing, a landscape picture emerges. There is a climbing corridor on the west side of Hanbi Mountain House, which rises and falls with the mountain, connecting the top of the mountain with Wenmu Xiangxuan. Osmanthus fragrans is planted all over the mountain. Every autumn, the fragrance of flowers wafts, which is refreshing. The mountains here are high and refreshing, and you can have a panoramic view when you look around. Ten blue waves emerge from the small and medium-sized Penglai Island in the pool. Dong Chi's Haopu Pavilion, Quxi Building, West Building and Qingfengchi Pavilion are embedded in mountains and rivers and trees, with ups and downs. The rocks in the north of the pool stand upright, and the ravines are looming, which can stand on the top of the hill and have the potential to fly in the air.
The east gate overlaps and the courtyard is deep. The patchwork of leaky windows, doorways and corridors in the courtyard set each other off and became the most varied building in Suzhou gardens. Wu Fengxian Mountain Pavilion of Land Hall, commonly known as Nanmu Hall, is beautifully decorated and elegantly furnished. In the west, there are courtyards such as Crane Tower, Shilin Courtyard, Yifengxuan and Huanwo Reading Room, with bamboo and stone against the wall and banana reflecting the window, which is full of poetry and painting. The main hall of Nymphs is Yuanyang Hall, which is covered with a carved round hole in the middle. The main hall is of primitive simplicity. In the north of the hall stand three famous peaks in the Lingering Garden. The peak of the cloud is in the middle, and Ruiyunfeng and Xiuyunfeng stand on the left and right sides. The peak of the cloud is 6.5 meters high and beautifully carved. Legend has it that it is a relic of the Flower Stone Class in the Song Dynasty, and it is the largest lake stone in Jiangnan Garden. In front of the peak stone is the Huan Yun swamp, surrounded by Guanyun Tower, Guanyun Pavilion, Guanyuntai and Juyun Temple, all of which are places to enjoy the stone.
The west is dominated by rockeries, and the rocks are alternating with each other, which is natural. There are many maple trees on the mountain, with shade in midsummer and rosy clouds in late autumn. Zhile Pavilion and Xiao Shu Pavilion are looming in the Woods. From the hip, you can borrow the scenic spots in the western suburbs. The cloud wall on the left side of the mountain undulates like Youlong. The piedmont curve flows and the water gurgles. There is a water pavilion at the east foot, which is "lively and splashing". Lying across the stream makes people feel that the water is endless.
The original buildings in the north have already been destroyed. Now bamboo, plums, peaches and apricots are widely planted, and grapes and wisteria are built in "another village" The rest of the land has become a bonsai garden, with lush flowers and trees, and still has an idyllic taste.
The landscape layout of staying in the park is suitable for living and traveling, and the landscape is dense and dense. The unique stone peak landscape has become an outstanding example of Jiangnan garden art.
According to local records, Liuyuan is located at No.79, Liuyuan Road outside Nagato. South from Liuyuan Road, north to Banbian Street, east to Automobile Transportation Company, and west to Xiuhua Lane. The garden area is nearly 30 mu, and the internal water surface is 1.96 mu.
This garden was built in the middle of Ming Dynasty. Xu Luxiang, a businessman during Jiajing period, was known as the "Three Wu", the old Jiangxi Guild Hall, Taojiachi, Huafu Shifangzhuang, Liufangzhuang and Taohuadun. His son, Master Xu, used to be an official, a servant, a temple and a young lady. In the twenty-first year of Wanli (1593), the late Qin Dynasty dismissed Li. "Yizhiyuan said that prostitutes are near, and those who are good at making strange stones make the base a piece of bamboo with mixed flowers and clouds" (Fan Yunlin: Lost Room Collection), later called Dongyuan (Xiyuan is now the former site of Hokkeji), and Dongyuan Lane is located in the northeast of the late Qing Dynasty Garden. In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, Yuan Hongdao wrote "The Garden Pavilion", praising its majestic porch. There are stone screens piled up in Zhou Dynasty, which are 3 feet high and 30 feet wide, just like a landscape painting, without intermittent traces. There is also "a stone in Taihu Lake, famous for its Ruiyunfeng, which is more than three feet high and beautiful in the south of the Yangtze River". After the name of the hall, Jiang Yingke wrote "Houle Hall".
After the decline, it was once abandoned as a treading workshop in the early Qing Dynasty and occupied by treaders hired by cloth merchants. The garden was changed into a private house, and one peak lived alone, and the rest were beyond recognition.
According to legend, the northwest garden of the house was rebuilt in the Chen family, but it was destroyed because of repeated owners, and there is still a beautiful big tree.
In the last years of Qianlong, Liu Shu in Dongshan was expanded (and later worked in Youjiang Road, Guangxi). As the saying goes: "I have been poor for five years, and I have prepared for it. Among them, I planted many white pines, hence the name Hanbizhuang" (see the legacy of staying in the garden). It is located in the famous Huabu, so it is also called Huabu Building. Liu Shu is a flower-loving stone, with twelve peaks of strange stones (or the cloud part comes from the original Wangwang Garden in Dongshan). He also likes calligraphy and famous paintings, which are embedded between ancient and modern stone carvings, that is, calligraphy posts in today's garden. The most famous ones are 65 kinds carved in the middle of Ming Dynasty and carved by Song Xianqing and Jiaqing.
After three years of Daoguang, visitors have no empty days. It's called Liuyuan, which is the crown of famous gardens in Wuzhong.
After the Taiping Army, the garden survived and died. The garden house was first sold to Cheng, and the residential part was converted into the Confucius Temple in Ercheng in the 13th year of Tongzhi, while the garden house was resold to Chang Shengkang, a former envoy of Hubei, for 5000 gold. The number of gardens is Yizhuang, Shi Sheng, Longxi, with more than 3,000 mu of farmland. Kang Sheng's Biography of Liuyuan Yizhuang said: Tongzhi bought Liu's Hanbi Villa in Waihuabu Street, Nagato, Suzhou in 12, and changed its name to Liuyuan. The reason why it was renamed Liuyuan was because the name Liuyuan had been circulating for a long time, that is to say, the pronunciation was changed, and the famous gardens of Wu were attacked by soldiers, that is to say, only this garden was left. Premium maintenance.
In the second year of Guangxu, Yu Yue recorded that "the balcony pavilion, the wind pavilion and the moon pavilion are high and low, and each has its own place." Fourteen to seventeen years, add things and build deer cages and crane pavilions. In the west, there is a Penglai Tushan, a flower pier with ten views, a vegetable garden, a grassland (a famous shooting range) and a greenhouse. In the east, that is, the peak area covered with clouds, the peak was originally located between houses, which Liu Shu could not reach. After the Taiping Army fought with the Qing Army, the houses were abandoned. In seventeen years, they bought the land in front of the peak and put it all into the garden wall. According to Bao's Memoirs of a Biography Studio, his ancestral home in Chinatown was reduced to rubble after the Taiping Army, and the title deed was lost, which was also obtained by Sheng. Sheng also built the "Dongshan Sizhu" stage, and built the ancestral temple and some houses on the west side of the street. The garden house is about 40 acres, which is more magnificent than the willow garden in the past. Later, he bought the website of Chengmiao and established Jin Si Building (now Five Blessingg Lane and Chengfuli Residential Website) L.
Since the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai's government ordered that the park be returned soon because it was once owned by his son Sheng Xuanhuai and confiscated by the revolutionary army. 16 years, the Northern Expeditionary Army 2 1 division headquarters was stationed in this park.
18 3 luna Park was closed down again. It is managed by the Wuxian county government, and all the adjacent houses are borrowed by the Sixteenth Brigade.
In June of the same year 18, the park was opened for sightseeing after renovation. At this time, the building is still complete, with towering old trees and gloomy momentum from a distance, which is called "Suyuan Bird Camp". There are peacocks, cranes and monkeys. Orchid parties are held in mid-February and March every year. Famous species gather and tourists are like clouds, which coincides with the spring and autumn. It was the first tourist attraction in Suzhou at that time.
In 2 1 year, during the Sino-Japanese War in Songhu, the park was once the office of the senior instructor of Hu Ning garrison commander Zhang Zhizhong. On June 1 day, the park was reopened after finishing. Twenty-two years, 65438+ October, 65438+ March, the garden returned to Sheng. Tong Juan's "Twenty-six Years of Jiangnan Gardens" said that "the female walls in the garden are wonderful, and the building is the top". In the early days of Japanese occupation, Sheng hired people to take care of it, and the rockery flowers and trees are still intact.
According to the report of Suzhou New Newspaper in May, you can enjoy it for 30 years. The west of the middle section of Ziliuyuan Road was occupied by the Japanese army. There are military horses in the garden, rockeries are crumbling, and exquisite furniture is looted. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, he became a Kuomintang army horse. The pillars of Wu Fengxian Mountain Pavilion were chewed into gourd-shaped horses, and horse manure accumulated two or three feet. Doors and windows were damaged by hanging, and there were no tiles on them. The wall in the garden was broken and collapsed. A piece of rubble. The main living room frame in the east of the garden still exists, and most of it was destroyed. On the eve of the liberation of Suzhou. Huanwo study and Yifengxuan have become shelters for beggars and refugees. After liberation, the descendants of Sheng donated this garden to the country.
1953 the municipal government decided to carry out emergency repairs to the park, and for the first time, the rubble and horse manure in the park were removed by means of work instead of relief. Commencement in September 1. Straighten, strengthen and replace the broken buildings such as Wu Fengxian Shanting and Yifengxuan, keep the original structure and repair it carefully; If the foundation still exists after the collapse of the crown and abutment, it shall be rebuilt according to the original style; For all the remaining buildings that have collapsed and the basement is unknown, especially in the northern region, such as Shaofengchu, Garden Life Museum, Louzou, Medical Clinic, Banzhou Caotang, etc. Either tear down the corridor or plant a bamboo garden. Also, my building has been transformed into a sunny pavilion, which likes rain and snow quickly. In another village, there is only wasteland left, so the grape trellis and Momo pier have been changed to coordinate with the surrounding environment with their pastoral flavor. The decoration of doors and windows is purchased from the flea market or private old houses. More than 0/00 doors and windows of Shengjia Ancestral Hall/KLOC were hoisted down and removed, and moved into the garden.
The restoration was completed at the end of the year and opened on New Year's Day 1954. People at home and abroad competed to enjoy the tour and praised the splendor of this famous garden.
196 1 Lingering Garden was listed as the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in China and gradually became one of the four famous gardens in China.
During the Cultural Revolution, it was renamed Hongwei Park, and its original name was restored in 197 1 year. Repair gradually from 1978.
There are 36 pavilions, plaques 15, bricks 17, stone carvings, couplets 10, and calligraphy stones. Ginkgo biloba, Lagerstroemia indica, Podocarpus and other ancient and famous trees 12 species, 23 plants.
The total building area in the park is 1/3, which is famous for the exquisite treatment of architectural space. With quiet twists and turns and changeable landscape, the hall is the most spacious and gorgeous in Suzhou gardens. They are large and exquisite, and their works are elegant. "The whole park is roughly divided into four parts, and the middle part is the original foundation of Hanbizhuang, which has the longest operation time. Although there are some changes in the future, it is still the essence of the whole park.
East, north and west were all added during Guangxu period. The central part is divided into two parts, with mountains and rivers and ponds in the west and buildings and courtyards in the east "(Liu Dunzhen: Suzhou Classical Garden). The park is buried deep behind the house, and there are four or five passages from the original house and ancestral hall. Today, the entrance used to be a refuge, 50 meters long, narrow and wide, closed and released, hidden, and finally suddenly enlightened. The pool is located in the center, and the lower part of the rockery to the west of the pool is piled with Yellowstone, which seems to be a relic of the Ming Dynasty. Sweet-scented osmanthus trees are planted on the mountain, and the sweet-scented osmanthus pavilion looks east. The pavilions and pavilions around Quxilou are scattered and staggered, hidden among ancient trees and rocks. Bishan Room in the south is the main hall in the middle, and there is a "ladder cloud" next to Minse Building in the east, which cleverly covers the stone path in the building. Penglai Island in the pool is densely covered with vines; Lower than the horizontal plane, the steeper the building looks. The stone flower bed in front of Cuige in the north of Chibi is a relic of the Ming Dynasty. The East District is a gorgeous courtyard area. The main hall mountain pavilion is named Nanmu Hall because it holds the stones collected in Stop the Cloud. Furniture, flying covers, windows and screen doors can combine elegance and beauty.
The rockery in the front yard is exquisite, inheriting the image of the original Tibetan zodiac. There are many small courtyards of different sizes around the East Shilin Courtyard of Nanmutang with different techniques. However, the original winding corridor around the northeast of the hall (that is, the original reading room) was blocked after it was built in the 1950s. From "Feng Xuan" to the east, there are oriental buildings with the theme of highlighting the peak of the cloud. The peak is 6.5 meters high, which is the highest in Suzhou. Yun Xiu and Ruiyun (also known as Duoyun) are surrounded by each other. To the east of Yunbog in front of the peak, it used to be Yunan (Daiyuni Shengkang), where fish fossils were embedded in the lower wall of Guanyun Gorge in the north of the peak.
Fengnan Linquan Zhushuo Museum, commonly known as Yuanyang Hall, has beautifully carved doors and windows and gorgeous furnishings. The brick in the south of the pavilion is the "four pillars of Dongshan", which is the first modern indoor double-decker and three-sided watchtower stage in Suzhou gardens. The Japanese occupation was demolished in the later period and occupied by nearby shacks. There are six nanmu screens in the pavilion in the northwest of the peak, which are beautifully carved. Buildings in the north did not exist for a long time before liberation. Now there are grape colonnades and bonsai gardens, displaying more than 500 famous bonsai. The water in Xitu Mountain Pond was originally connected with the central part, and a wall was built around Liuyuan.
At the beginning of liberation, there were twenty or thirty ancient maple trees in the mountains. In autumn, they looked like Xia Hong in the cloud wall from the garden, and died in 1960s due to improper application of pesticides. The pavilion built on the mountain, which used to overlook the Tiger Hill in Xiyuan, is now covered by high-rise buildings. The stream in front of the mountain twists and turns, and the word "Yuanxi Line" is embedded at the end, and peaches and willows are planted all over the banks, imitating Wuling Taoyuan. At that time, the water was connected with the river outside the park, and tourists in Qing Dynasty often stayed on lakes and fields. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the river silted up and gradually became a pavement, and the pool water was shallow and turbid. The corridors in the whole park are more than 200 feet long. The winding corridors are empty, and more large and small spaces are placed at the corners to dye banana bamboo slips. There are more than 200 holes and 30 kinds of leaky windows in the whole park, and the patterns are almost the same. In addition to Guanyun and other three peaks, there are eleven twelve peaks left in Liuyuan, as well as other strange stones mentioned by Liu Shupin, such as Late Cuisine, Broken Xia and Rihua.
