After the founding of New China, Sheng Weng once served as deputy director of the General Administration of Publishing and vice minister of education, and lived in Beijing for a long time. However, he is still troubled by Suzhou gardens. 1956, Tongji University published the Suzhou Garden Atlas compiled by Professor Chen Congzhou. After learning this, Saint Weng bought this atlas by letter. He himself said, "It's always fresh and interesting to have a look after work. Seeing it once is a pleasant enjoyment. " 1974, St. Weng met him, and Professor Chen gave him many Chinese paintings of pine, bamboo, orchid and chrysanthemum. Saint Weng thanked him with a poem "Song of the Cave Fairy", which is still written in Suzhou Gardens: "Gardens have been wonderful for many years, and I am deeply concerned. Miss Tong often plays with window friends and traces all over the pavilion bank of the mountain path. This autumn, I passed simple letters, voted for Joan, and looked at wonderful paintings frequently. The ancient interest is to write about Zhu Mei. The bluestone is beautiful and the wind is more beautiful and quiet. I am willing to meet the surging waves and tiger hills, practice its elegance and listen to its shape. " In this poem, Saint Weng's attachment to Suzhou gardens is beyond words. After liberation, Humble Administrator's Garden and other gardens have become resorts for working people to rest and visit. The author also recalled his childhood and adolescence, when he was playing with his classmates and stepping all over the corridors and paths. This is just the mutual confirmation and echo of the poem in the garden in 19 13. The second half of the poem is about the joy of knowing Professor Chen Congzhou and appreciating Chen Congzhou's paintings.
/kloc-at the beginning of 0/979, Chen Congzhou invited Saint Weng to preface the Suzhou Garden Album published by Landscape Pictorial Publishing House, and Saint Weng readily agreed. In the preface, Saint Weng summed up the charm of Suzhou gardens. He praised Suzhou gardens for "paying attention to the layout of pavilions, the coordination of rockery ponds, the foil of flowers and trees, and the level of close-up vision." In short, everything must exist in order to form a perfect picture and make visitors feel "like in a painting".
Ye Shengtao's natural outpouring and vivid description of Suzhou gardens is that "the gardens are deeply cared for by the poor government".
