What building is Wuxi Jichang Garden?

1506, Qin Jin, a descendant of the Song Dynasty poet Qin Guan, came to Wuxi and bought a "humble abode" in Huishan Temple. On the basis of the original temple, he dug a pond on the mountain, planted flowers and trees, built a villa, and transformed it into a garden, named "Gu Feng Walking and Lying".

Gufeng Walking and Lying is the first building to enter the park after Huishan Temple, Sun Moon Lake and Chi Pan. On the right wall of the entrance hall of Gu Feng Xingwo, the stone carving "Jichang Yuanji" in the late Ming Dynasty is engraved.

Through the hall, there are two carved stones in the courtyard, and on the right is the "mountain color and stream light" inscribed by Kangxi later, which summarizes the scenery in the garden. On the left is the title "Jade and Gold" after Qianlong, praising the wonderful spring sound of Bayin Cave in the garden.

The first generation owner Qin Jin was named "Fengshan". Huishan, commonly known as Longshan, is opposite to Fengshan. The name of the garden is "Gu Feng", which also points out that this place is the treasure house of the wind-hidden Longshan. On the pillar in front of Gu Fengxing's sleeping hall, the couplet of seal script written by Weng Tonghe, a writer of Qing Dynasty, hangs:

Miscellaneous trees hang curtains, clouds are light and smoke is light;

Fengze district is clean, cheerful and harmonious.

The east gate of the corridor is called the "cloud invasion" gate, which is another name for Xifeng Tower, and the shadow of Xifeng Tower is expected to come out from here. The west gate is a "moon-blocking" gate overlooking the Kowloon Peak. Because the peak height blocks the moonlight, it is named "blocking the moon".

Coming out of the "blocking the moon" gate, there is a Soviet-style small courtyard with a small pool in the middle and Taihu stone around it. The surrounding red column cloister connects the whole courtyard, and there is a moon gate at each end of the cloister, which is called "Ningcui" and "Han Xiu" respectively. On the wall of the gallery, there are some stone carvings of "Jichang Garden Fa Tie".

There are many ancient trees in the garden, leaning against a pier. The mound was built in 1445. When Zhou Chen, then assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, visited Jiangsu, he found that Huishan Temple lacked Qinglong according to the conventional layout of the "Four Spirits" and ordered people to gather in the mound to build it.

This mound only adds to the ups and downs of the ground. The pool is located at the foot of the mountain, and the spring flowing into the mountain adds a vivid taste. These ancient trees make the garden look lush.

The pool is located on the east side of the whole park and is named "Jinhui No.1". This rippling water surface brings together the beautiful scenery of the whole park, and the scenery of the whole park is centered around this first-class pool water.

Jinhui is long from north to south and narrow from east to west, with an area of only 1600 square meters, but it is open and clear. On the east is the pavilion gallery near the water, and on the west is the rockery with high terrain. There are stone bridges on the water surface, which makes the water surface become an irregular huge mirror, gathering the surrounding mountain shadows, tower shadows, gallery shadows, pavilion shadows, tree shadows, flower shadows and people in the pool. When the garden was completed, Qin Jin wrote a poem:

Famous mountains live in old age, and there are nests in the building.

There are hidden rocks in the meandering stream, long pine and ruby.

The peak is high to see the bird crossing, but the path is quiet and few people pass.

In the voice of Qing Mooncherry, why should you listen to Ke Yu?

There is a stone bridge on Jinhui Post, named Qixing Bridge, which is paved with seven stone slabs, hence the name "Qixing Bridge". Qixing Bridge faces the water to the east, which is the "Hanbi Pavilion" with upturned cornices.

After Qin Jin's death, the garden was inherited by his nephew Qin Han and his son Qin Liang (the messenger of Jiangxi). Qin Liang and his father, Qin and Han Dynasties, often went to Hangwo, Gu Feng by boat or sedan chair, planted flowers and bamboo with friends, or drank wine and wrote poems.

1560, the father and son renovated the garden again, digging ponds to build mountains, which took a lot of effort. The name of the garden is also called "Gu Feng Villa".

After Qin Liang's death, the garden belonged to his nephew, the right deputy of Douchayuan, and the governor of Huguang, Qin Yao. Qin Yao is a member of Lindong Party. 159 1 year, because the teacher Zhang was chased and killed, he was dismissed and returned to his hometown. After returning to Wuxi, Qin Yao was unhappy because of his political failure, so he devoted himself to transforming the "Phoenix Valley".

Qin Yao spent a lot of manpower and financial resources. After 65,438+00 years' efforts, buildings such as Woyuntang, Jinhuiyi, Neighbourhood Pavilion, Zhai, Zhiyu Threshold, Bayinjian, Mei Ting and Huancui Building were built in the garden, and 20 scenes were rebuilt. Qin Yao also wrote poems after poems. He also named his home "Send a bustling landscape shadow" from the poem of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi.

Woyuntang is the main building of Jichang Garden, facing east from east to west, advancing back and forth, and drilling wells the next day. In the late Qing Dynasty, the scope of its promotion expanded eastward, and this hall was named after Kangxi's imperial book "Mountain Color and Western Light", so it was also called the Imperial Book Monument Hall. According to historical records, this hall was the pick-up place when Kangxi and Qianlong visited Changyuan later.

Woyuntang is an upright circular hall with three floors and five frames, which has the architectural style of Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty. It is a "fragrant" porch with two borders in front and a corridor in the back. A row of floor-to-ceiling windows facing east, with a long window in the middle of the back wall and half windows on both sides.

When laying square bricks indoors, it is necessary to partially retain the original Ming floor and preserve historical information. The hall tablet hanging in the center of the front bookstore was written by Xuan Tong's fourth brother in Qing Dynasty. The platform in front of Woyuntang is surrounded by stone railings composed of lotus watchtower and ruyi-patterned railings, which are all old things of that year. When you walk down the stairs, it becomes a stone walkway.

Cross the stone bridge from the tunnel, and the beauty stone is in front. Beauty stone is a kind of lake stone more than 3 meters high. It stands against the wall, like a gentle and graceful lady, combing her hair and makeup with water as a mirror in front of the square pool. So people call her "Beauty Stone".

There is a rectangular pond in front of the stone, which is called "mirror pond". People must stand in the southwest corner of the square pool to enjoy the "beauty stone", so that the girl's lovely expression can be vividly displayed in front of them.

From the east bank of Jinhui to the north along the promenade, the first thing you see is a hexagonal pavilion named "Pan Yu", which is taken from the sentence "Pan Yupan, clouds and water are soaring" in the poem "A Tale of the Floating River" written by the poet Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty. The bluestone platform and stone drum stool in the pavilion are old things left by Qin from the Ming Dynasty.

The corridor from the Garden Pavilion to the north is called "Pan Yu Corridor", which was built when Qin Yao rebuilt the garden. Before and after the old gallery, the ancient trees are hidden and lush, and the bamboo, stone and flowers are looming outside the window. If you look closely, you will find that the colonnade here is particularly high, and this promenade is also particularly high and open. So, if you look around in the corridor, you can also see the towering trees and the majestic Huishan opposite Jin Hui.

On the east side of Jinhui No.1 Middle School, along the long corridor to the north, there is a pavilion extending into the water. This pavilion is called "fish-knowing sill". Surrounded by water on three sides, it was built when Qin Yao rebuilt the airport garden. After the completion, Qin Yao often stood on the threshold to watch the fish and enjoyed himself.

Huancui Building is located in the north of the pool, with pavilions on the left and hills on the right. It is well arranged. What's more exciting is that looking south from this building, you can see the western hills and Longguang Tower on the mountains in the distance, which are picturesque.

To the east of Jinhui 1, there is Bayin River, also known as Sandie Spring and Hangfei River. This stream is named after a sentence by Zuo Si, a writer in Jin Dynasty: "Why silk and bamboo?" There is a clear voice in the scenery. " .

Bayin Cave is composed of Yellowstone, and people walk in the valley. These ancient trees in the rockery near Bayinjian are all 200-300-year-old camphor trees. They grow luxuriantly, and the thickest can reach 4 meters.

Bayin River is high in the west and low in the east, and the stone road in the river twists and turns, with lush forests and dirty springs above it. The trickle cleverly introduced two springs into the garden.

Bayin Sword is 36m in length,1.9m to 2.6m in depth and 0.6m to 4.5m in width. In addition to being good at the wonderful opening and closing of yin and yang in ravines, it combines a variety of gardening techniques such as painting springs, listening to springs, scooping stones, and hiding the scenery without trace, which is leisurely and elegant.

After the undercurrent of Er Quan was introduced into the tail of the stream from the west wall of the garden, it became three layers, so the silent spring water began to become a stream with sound, creating the realm of "no silk, no bamboo, and clear mountains and rivers".

The name of Bayinjian is Xu Guofeng's calligraphy inscription, which was later named in the late Qing Dynasty. Its name means that it is like a musical instrument made of eight materials such as "gold, stone, silk, bamboo, plum, earth, leather and wood", playing a natural movement of "high mountains and flowing water".

Bayinjian's stone-striking art is the leader of Huangshi rockery in China's classical gardens. Its superposition technique is based on the natural lithofacies composed of lateral folds and vertical seams of Huangshi Cliff, which has the characteristics of vigorous texture, heavy volume, clear outline and vigorous lines.

Simulating the "axe-splitting" brushwork of China's landscape painting, a large piece of Huangshi was selected to transform the stream wall into a natural picture with distinct stone veins, even slope toe, freedom of advance and retreat, twists and turns, ups and downs, dependence on master and slave, and concern for life.

This superb means of learning from nature and painting has made it have mountains, rugged valleys, deep rock valleys and shallow streams. It can be said that it is strong outside and hollow inside, and its connotation is profound and peculiar. Walking room is the charm and interest of Jiangnan landscape.

It is this secluded landscape that regulates people's sight and perception of the scenery. When they arrived at a small clearing, through the mottled light among the treetops, they remembered the poem "Moonlight in the pine forest, crystal stone in the stream".

Hebutan is the main mountain in the garden, surrounded by local rocks and tamped with soil. The gardener regards the rockery here as the remnant vein of Huishan, connecting them with each other. At the foot of the rockery, there is a crooked Gu Dao, and the water flows downstream. Water and rocks are harmonious and full of interest, like a group of white cranes roaming, hence the name "Hebutan".

To the south of Bayinjian is Han Zhenzhai. Zhai Zhen sits in the east-facing Sanmen ancient house, which was once the reading room of Qin Yao, the owner of the garden. Frustrated gardeners like to chant "A wanderer caresses Gu Song for thousands of years; In the poem, "I am loyal to myself when I am cold", so the name of fasting is also called "chastity fasting".
