Qianlong can be said to be the first romantic emperor in China. His romantic life is not only reflected in his emotional history, but also refers to Gan Long's attitude towards life. After the reign of Emperor Kangxi and Yong Zhengdi, the domestic political situation of the Qing Dynasty remained stable. It can be said that when the throne is passed to Qianlong, it is the time for future generations to enjoy happiness. However, Qianlong did not abandon politics, but inherited the inheritance of two former emperors and carried forward the Qing Dynasty. In his later years, Emperor Qianlong even claimed to be a perfect old man, which shows that he enjoyed extraordinary splendor. But anyone familiar with Emperor Qianlong's mind knows that he is a traveler. During his reign, he went to Jiangnan six times.
Shizilin rockery
There is a poem by Emperor Qianlong, which is well said. The beauty of the city is the lion forest, and the drizzle and breeze are first discovered. The poem of Emperor Qianlong refers to the Lion Forest in Suzhou. Lion Forest can be said to be the representative of classical private garden buildings in China. It has a history of 672 years, and is loved by Emperor Qianlong because of its unique caves. In modern times, the lion forest is also known as the rockery kingdom. According to records, there are nine mountain roads and 265,438+0 caves in the Lion Forest rockery, which are generally connected but have endless charm. Although the lion forest is an artificial rockery, it does not lose its mountain flavor, with undulating peaks and vivid momentum. It can be said that in the period when ancient science and technology were very backward, the construction of lion forest was in its heyday.
Lion Forest in Liu You, Gan Long
Being in the lion forest can give people a dreamlike feeling, which may be what fascinated Emperor Qianlong. In addition to many artificial natural landscapes, the Lion Grove also has calligraphy and painting sculptures by famous calligraphers in ancient China, especially the calligraphy works of Su Shi, Mi Fei, Huang Tingjian and Cai Xiang, which fascinated Emperor Qianlong who flaunted his talents. Moreover, during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, the Lion Grove was an important place for Buddhists to give lectures and reason. As a result, the lion forest was also loved by many literati at that time and has been passed down to this day. During the Qianlong period, he visited the Lion Grove six times.
Landscape introduction
Lion Forest has many rockeries and natural caves. These caves seem to be unrelated to each other, but in fact they are secretly connected and hover around, as if people are in a maze. Rockery scattered in the lion forest gives people a feeling of being in this mountain. Lion Forest is famous not only for rockeries, but also for its winding corridors. The pool in the middle of the corridor at the end of the lion forest is the center, and the layers will be deeply hidden in the mountains. The feeling of hiding half her face in front of us behind her guitar is irresistible. Generally speaking, although the lion rockery is artificially built, it is vivid and true without losing its natural charm. There are many grotesque stones at the end of the world, which may be placed unintentionally, but in the eyes of Emperor Qianlong, these originally unremarkable stones are hard but have a strange taste.
World cultural heritage
The Lion Garden has a history of hundreds of years, and the landscape in the Lion Garden represents a high level of ancient garden construction in China. Since the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, Buddhist lectures have become the first choice of tourist attractions for Buddhist stories. From the Ming Dynasty to the present, many writers and calligraphers have inscribed poems or inscriptions for this garden, adding a literary color to this seemingly natural garden. Lion Garden was listed as a world cultural heritage in modern times because of its exquisite architecture.
