Therefore, after thousands of years of history, Xuzhou, which suffered from floods, gradually formed an overlapping layer of cities and streets. One of the most tragic events is the destruction of the city by the Yellow River in the fourth year tomorrow. In this incident, the whole city of Xuzhou was buried underground, and the flood receded, so people had to rebuild the new city. However, in the seventh year of Kangxi, due to a strong earthquake in Tancheng, the houses in the city collapsed again ... When Emperor Gaozong was in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor could not stand it. In the autumn of the 21st year of Qianlong (1756), the Yellow River burst again and again in Sunjiaji, Xuzhou, Weishan Lake was blocked and flooded, and all parts of Xu Shu were flooded. When Emperor Qianlong heard the news, he ordered Dong Yi, who was in charge of the project, to build a dike to block the mouth in Xuzhou, and visited Xuzhou in April of the following year (1757) to inspect the disaster situation. At that time, the accompanying minister advised him not to go in person, so he insisted on visiting Xu. He took a boat to the north and landed at Shunheji Wharf in Suqian County. Xuzhou, just after the flood, is full of hungry people and plagues, which is a miserable scene. Emperor Qianlong ordered the river to be surveyed and cleaned to restore it.
Xuzhou was flooded by the Yellow River. The ever-increasing riverbed makes the Yellow River a suspended river, and the city is like a kettle. In case of flood, it is in danger of flowing back. Gan Long ordered the reinforcement and construction of riverbanks, and set up water measuring signs on the riverbanks outside the north gate of Xuzhou City to monitor the fluctuation of the Yellow River. At the same time, laws and regulations were issued to reduce taxes for the people, give relief to the people through work and distribute epidemic prevention drugs to the people.
After the inspection, Qianlong saw that the threat of the Yellow River to Xuzhou could not be alleviated in a short time, so he instructed local officials to build a palace so that they could live when they came to Xu to "read the river" in the future. Yin Jishan, then governor of the two rivers, personally surveyed and selected the address of the palace. He said in the paper: "There are dozens of feet of land here, and Gao Shuang is flat, so we can build a palace. It is in the south of the county seat and in the north of Yunlong Mountain, with a moderate distance. There are more than four times as many ministers, and this place is the most compromised. " Gan Long agreed: "There is no need to choose another place to go to the Palace. This is just a place next to the (Dragon God) Temple. Why bother? The temple wall is spacious and spacious, and there is enough room to rest for one night. I admire this. " Although the palace is an extension, it still embodies the royal palace and style. Emperor Qianlong was very happy after reading it, and wrote two couplets in his own hand: "The famous garden is surrounded by green water and wild bamboo is green"; "The outdoor peak is beautiful and the front steps are deep." From these descriptions, we can imagine the beautiful and pleasant scenery of the palace in those days.
Three poems in the fitting room
In Xuzhou, there are many legends about Qianlong's four tours of Xuzhou, but there is little evidence for textual research. According to the Records of Xuzhou County, Gan Long came to Xuzhou four times in his life. Except for the third visit to Yunlong Mountain during Xu's stay, there were poems on the other three times. The fitting room was built according to a poem by Su Shi. Su Shi's poem is "Send Zhang Shu to Hou Shi's Palace for Examination": "Yunlong Mountain tries on the spring clothes, and sends the sunset before the crane pavilion. Sanli apricot blossoms are the same color, and Xinlangjun goes to Ma Rufei. " Gan Long came to Xuzhou for the first time. The year before last, the Sunjiaji River on the north bank of Tongshan of the Yellow River flooded into Weishan Lake and Jingshanqiao River, and the counties of copper, Pei, Tao, Hai and Shu were flooded. Gan Long felt very heavy when he saw that the people in Xuzhou were short of food and clothing after the disaster. When I visited Yunlong Mountain, I wrote Su Shi's Quasi-Pavilion Rhyme, which also reflected this mood. When Gan Long came to Xuzhou for the second time, he was very happy to see the people of Xuzhou living and working in peace and contentment. He visited Yunlong Mountain with great interest and wrote "Two Poems of Sushi's Appropriate Pavilion Rhyme", which showed a relatively cheerful mood: "I was bohemian in Yunlong's experimental suit, so I went to the election and took advantage. At that time, Zener will establish Beijing, and my heart will fly with Ma Fei. " "I'm a little satisfied with Xu Min's food and clothing, and the horse's head is full of praise for Chen Hui. The patrol in front is still full of eyes, I just feel like flying. " Forty-nine years after Qianlong, I visited Yunlong Mountain for the last time. This year, he is 74 years old. Probably because I am old, my energy is not as good as before. He didn't write a poem about the fitting booth, but imitated Su Shi's handwriting and wrote Su Shi's poem, ordering him to "keep the wall between walls to save the wonders".
Qianlong Palace is located at the northern foot of Yu Yunlong. There are two halls and two east-west annex rooms. 1975 was rebuilt into a city museum, which has a rich collection of ancient cultural relics, among which the Han Dynasty stone reliefs are the most precious. The East Courtyard is a monument garden with national style, small and exquisite, elegant and beautiful. Stone carvings of many famous people such as Su Shi and Yue Fei are embedded in the wall of the monument. The renovation project of Ganlong Palace started in September, 20 1 1. The building at the entrance of the palace was originally built in the 1990s, and it is a wooden structure with Qing dynasty style, and its overall style is more harmonious with the only remaining main hall of the palace. The main body of Qianlong Palace has been completed and the eaves are being painted. The patterns are mainly dragons and phoenixes, as well as peonies, daffodils, landscapes, pavilions, butterflies and peacocks. On both sides of the eaves, the paintings are exquisite and full of beauty. There are 22 thick pillars outside the main hall. All the workers are wrapped in raw lacquer and linen for three layers, and three or four layers of paint are painted to ensure that they will not rot and be eaten by insects. In addition, a 4-meter-long beam in the main hall was bent and reinforced with 10 iron hoop. The previous cement columns and beams were all changed into wood structures.
The door of Longxing Palace has four longest beams, each of which is 6.5 meters long, 45 centimeters high and 22 centimeters wide, and each weighs about 1000 Jin. Mr. Lu said that the total amount of wood used in this project is 100 cubic meter. In the tablet garden on the east side of the main hall of Qianlong Palace, there are nearly 100 stone buildings in the Tang Dynasty and famous calligraphers in the Tang and Song Dynasties. This time, the architectural style of the Monument Garden has been rebuilt, which is consistent with the new architectural style on the south side of the main hall, and has become a group of quiet, elegant and beautiful garden-style buildings in the Qing Dynasty. A small arch bridge, a curved bridge and a flat bridge were added. Rebuild the waterfront platform and transform the swimming pool. At that time, water and fish will be put into the pool, and a rockery will be built next to the pool. The main body of the renovation of the Monument Garden has been completed, and the Qianlong Palace and the Monument Garden are expected to be completed by the end of July 20 12 and open for free.
Qianlong Palace was built in the 22nd year of Qianlong. 1757 When Emperor Qianlong visited Xuzhou, he rebuilt it on the basis of the original Wang Yu Temple. Now only the Palace Hall is left, which is a municipal cultural protection unit. The main hall faces south, with a width of 3 rooms13.3m, a depth of 9. 1 m, and a eaves height of 6.8m. The Palace Museum was converted into Xuzhou Museum on 1959, and has been renovated five times since then. 1980 to repair the main hall, 1990 to repair the roof, 1992 to repair the roof of the main hall, 1997 to demolish the wing, and in 2006 to repair the painting, beam frame, painting, ground and abutment.
After the renovation is fully completed, the courtyard of Ganlong Palace will be used as a performance place for intangible cultural heritage, and the exhibition hall at the back of the Monument Garden will be open to the public free of charge, so that visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Monument Garden and feel the profound traditional culture of Xuzhou. Xuzhou citizens will have a free leisure place with the theme of garden landscape and traditional culture.
