Ouyuan, formerly known as Sheyuan, is located at No.6 Xiao Xin Lane, Neicang Street, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, and was founded in the early Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, because there were two gardens on the east and west sides of the house, it was named "Couple Garden", and "Couple" was connected with "Even". ? [5]?
Ouyuan faces the river on three sides and the street on one side, with a total area of about 8000 square meters. The layout of the coupling garden is centered on the homestead of Jinsiting, and the east and west gardens are connected with the residence through heavy buildings. It is divided into three parts: the central hall, the West Flower Hall and the East Garden. ?
[7] The East Garden is relatively large, covering an area of about 4 mu. The layout is dominated by mountains, supplemented by pools. There are three small courtyards in its southeast corner, which are collectively called "Chengqu Caotang".
The West Garden is small in area, centered on the "old house with woven curtains" in the study, and divided into two small courtyards. There is a lake rock rockery in the front yard, a lake stone flower bed in the backyard, and a library in the north of the garden. The "Huangshi rockery" landscape of the European Garden was built in front of the main hall of Chengqu Caotang. ? [5]?
On June 30th, 2000, 165438+ Suzhou classical gardens, including lovers' garden, were approved by the 24th session of UNESCO World Heritage Committee to be included in the World Heritage List. ?
[1] On June 25th, 2000/kloc-0, Ouyuan was announced by the people of China and the State Council as the fifth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
During the reign of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1723 ~ 1735), the magistrate of Baoning returned to Li, and later set up "Sheyuan" here, also known as "(today's East Garden)".
Excerpted from Tao Yuanming's Gui Ci, "Playing in the Garden". The garden is not very wide, and there is a threshold for watching fish. I love gazebo, rattan flower boat, floating red and blue, and Wan Hong bar. Later it was rented by calligrapher Guo; Followed by Zhu Shi Villa in Chongming.
