The golden Buddha is dignified, the Dharma is shining brightly, the moon is round and the monastery is quiet;
The mountain spirit is majestic, the divine power is displayed, and the ceiling is falling from the temple. The door is new.

Li Zonghai inscribed a couplet on Mengxi Garden
〖Mengxi Garden〗Mengxi Garden is located in the east of Zhenjiang City In the middle section of the East River on the side is the residence where Shen Kuo, a scientist and politician from the Northern Song Dynasty who was listed as a world celebrity, settled in Zhenjiang in his later years. Shen Kuo completed the immortal "Mengxi Bi Tan", which is famous at all times and at home and abroad. When Shen Kuo was thirty years old, he often dreamed of a beautiful place with clear mountains and clear water. When he climbed the hill, the flowers and trees looked like brocade; there was water under the mountain, which was clear and pleasing to the eye. He felt happy about it and wanted to live there. Later, he asked someone to buy a piece of land in Zhenjiang. A few years later, Shen Kuo passed by Zhenjiang and saw this place. He couldn't help being surprised and happy. He felt like "the place he visited in his dreams", so he moved his family here, built a thatched cottage and a small pavilion, and named the creek in front of his door. For Mengxi, the courtyard was named Mengxi Garden. Here he devoted himself to writing and completed the immortal work "Mengxi Bi Tan", which contains the crystallization of his lifelong scientific research. Mengxi Garden originally covered an area of ??more than ten acres. Yuanxi is built against the mountain, with a quiet environment and pleasant scenery. There are Huadui Pavilion, Anlaotang, Xiaoxiaotang, Kexuan, Shenzhai, Yuanting, Huaxia Pavilion and other buildings in the garden. Shen Kuobu lived here for eight years (57-65 years old) and was buried in Hangzhou after his death. , his family still lived in Zhenjiang, while Mengxi Garden gradually became deserted. During the Ningzong period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xin Qiji once repaired it when he was the prefect of Zhenjiang. Houmengxi Garden changed its owners several times, and its original appearance has long been lost. In 1985, Mengxi Garden was initially restored near the original site. Mengxi Garden consists of six blue brick bungalows with two entrances and a small garden. On the top of the garden gate, there is a stone plaque inscribed by Mao Yisheng, a famous Chinese scientist from Zhenjiang, with the words "Mengxi Garden", which is vigorous and powerful. When you first step into the memorial room, in the center is a frontal portrait of Shen Kuo. He is majestic and graceful, which is how he looked when he presided over the third department of the central financial agency of the Northern Song Dynasty. The left and right sides are the reception room and exhibition room. There is a sand table model of the original appearance of the ancient Mengxi Garden. At the same time, extremely precious and eye-catching cultural relics from the past two years are displayed. One is a rubbing of Shen Kuo's inscription on the cliff, and the other is an old thing from the garden at that time - Mengxi ancient stone tablet. This rectangular red-brown stele is engraved with the simple and vigorous Chinese characters Mengxi. From the top and bottom inscriptions of Emperor Song Yichou and Zhongyuan Day?, it can be determined that the year and month when Shen Kuo built the garden and named the inscription should be the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Shenzong of the Song Dynasty (1085). ) On July 15th, a summary of Shen Kuo's life and a chronology of major events were hung around the room. The first door you enter is a small garden with several rockeries, a stream, ancient wells, green bamboos, stone paths, flower walls, and the words "stream into a dream" make people feel like they have seen a corner of the Mengxi Garden back then. The second entrance to the hall is the exhibition room of Shen Kuo's scientific research achievements. The first thing that comes into view when you welcome the door is a 1.4-meter-high seated statue of Shen Kuo placed in the center of the room: dressed in green with a bun in a bun, with a calm and calm expression, holding a meteorite in his left hand, and covering a book with his right hand, thoughtfully. On both sides of the seated statue are displayed records of geomagnetic declination dating back 400 years in Western Europe. Also on display are copies of "Meng Xi Bi Tan" published in Chinese by Japan's Ekishi Le Zhen Tang, "History of Chinese Science and Technology" written by the British science history expert Joseph Needham, as well as physical objects and other items reflecting Shen Kuo's scientific achievements throughout his life.
〖Shen Kuo〗Shen Kuo (1030-1094), a native of Hangzhou, was eager to learn since childhood, studied academics, was a Jinshi in Jiahu, and actively promoted and supported Wang Anshi's reform during the Shenzong period. He was a progressive politician. He became a Hanlin bachelor. He was erudite and good at writing, devoted his life to scientific research, and was extremely diligent in studying. He had profound attainments and contributions in astronomy, geography, mathematics, calendar, geology, biology, chemistry, medicine, etc., and became one of the few first-class scientists in the world at that time. "Mengxi Bi Tan", which he wrote in Mengxi Garden in his later years, is a very valuable scientific work, in which the achievements in natural science reached the advanced level in the world at that time.
Dr. Joseph Needham, a British authority on the history of Chinese science and technology, called Shen Kuo the most unique figure in the history of Chinese science and technology, and praised "Mengxi Bi Tan" as the most important milestone in the history of Chinese science and technology. The book now has translations in English, French, German, Italian, American, Japanese and other countries. Shen Kuo has become an internationally renowned historical figure.
