In the newly renovated Liuyuan, beautiful trees are flourishing, flowers are blooming, strange stones flow clearly, balconies and pavilions are in their respective places, and the buildings are more magnificent than before.
During the period from 1888 to 189 1, Shengkang built a number of buildings, such as Dongshan Four Pillars, Yundingfeng and Nymphs Museum.
Dongshan Sizhu was founded in the corner of 189 1 East Garden, which is the first indoor double-deck and three-sided viewing stage in the garden.
According to records, the whole theater sits south to north, with three rooms * * *. The stage is built in the middle of the south of the hall, protruding on three sides, and a theater room is attached at the back. Up and down three floors, the audience is in the north of the stage.
Here is an old couplet that reads:
A 24-year history has become a legend at present. The heroic cause and the feelings of children have all been given to the red tooth ebony board;
There are 30,000 shows in a hundred years, enjoying this beautiful spring and autumn day, sitting on tassels drinking wine, singing songs, feasting on silk and bamboo, and asking why it is like a green plain.
The inscription of the couplets is: "Yuyue stays in the Garden and Dongshan Silk Bamboo".
The first couplet uses the words "Twenty-four histories", "ancient and modern legends" and "giving red tooth sandalwood" to point out the stage role of Dongshan silk and bamboo, and the second couplet writes about the pleasure of people enjoying plays and listening to songs here.
Linquan Pavilion was built by Kang Sheng, located in the northeast corner of Lingering Garden. There are two plaques in the museum, one is "Strange Stone Shoutaigu" in the south, and the other is "Linquan Zhushuo Hall" in the north. The screen door of "Genting Zanxu" is facing Genting.
Linquan Zhu said that the museum is a house with two pavilions, with different decorations in the north and south. In the north, there are carved square beams, and in the south, there are round beams without carved flowers. Windows and floor tiles are also different, so they are also called "Yuanyang Hall". The main hall is a square hall with a single cornice and peony patterns on the cornice in the north point.
Nymphs refer to Lin Quanshi, which is a place for recreation. Jane, refers to Gao nian. Master, a famous man. Therefore, it refers to the entertainment places for the elderly and hermits.
The whole building is exquisite and elegant, and is known as the masterpiece of classical hall architecture in China. Here is a couplet:
When the meal wins, the heart will be clear;
Listen to Mo Yu A's lonely journey.
This is an old couplet, the first paragraph: "Yu Qi, my dear friend, observe the elegance of adults", and the second paragraph: "Lei Zhang Kan's ancestral righteousness"
Lin Shuo's Church Link Road 2:
Yao examined the golden mud and sealed it with a holy name;
Red and green treasure symbols.
This is an old couplet, the first paragraph: "The jade book follows the words of a close friend", and the second paragraph: "The book of Yuan Wang Ruoxun".
The "Jian Yao" in the couplet is the imperial book, and the "golden mud" is the imperial seal. "Red writing" comes from the sentence "Yellow Emperor sees carp, which is three feet long and has no scales", and the word "green" comes from the sentence "Dayu sees the Shuhe River and turns green" in the Book of Jin Geography.
There are three couplets in Old Master Q Hall of Nymphs:
If the resort stays for a long time, that is, this calendar will be robbed again, and the words of * * * will come to the elders;
Qifeng absolutely, still straightforward, Pangluo fist stone like children and grandchildren.
This couplet is a new book of the old couplet in the garden. The original couplet was Zhu Tingqing's Qing Shu, which is now hung in the museum of Linquan. In addition, there are couplets of Master Lin Quan in the museum:
This peak is suspected of flying from the sky, and it is absolutely impossible to be a fool after the disaster of wind and frost;
The land is the best in Wuzhong, surrounded by bamboo and silk in the backyard, and the years are like immortals.
The inscription of the couplet is: "Zhu Tingqing stayed in the garden with the title of Lin Quange". The first sentence of the couplet praised the peak stone of the Lingquan complex in the Lingyuan Garden, and the next sentence praised the beautiful scenery of the Lingquan complex in the Lingyuan Garden, and issued a sigh that "the backyard is surrounded by silk and bamboo, and the years are like immortals"
Shengkang established Yizhuang on 1892 with the inscription "Longxi Shengkang Yizhuang". Shengjia Ancestral Temple is an important part of Yizhuang, located on the west side of Liuyuan Gate. The ancestral hall is divided into four entrances. The last two entrances are buildings with wind and fire walls on both sides.
In addition to the newly-built Shengjia ancestral temple and residence, Shengkang has also added some buildings, such as Ji Gu Pei Xiu, Jiaqing Western Regions Fast Snow Pavilion, Yifengxuan and Yuexie Star Terrace.
"Never forget the past, the teacher of the future" comes from the poem "Never forget the past, the teacher of the future" written by the Tang Dynasty poet Han Yu. Finish, that is, well cable. Repair, that is, long rope. Make the past serve the present, that is, to study ancient theories, it is necessary to have perseverance, work hard and find a clue before you can learn, just as it is necessary to use a long rope to draw deep water. Yoshitani Hideki used to be a study.
Jiaqing Xi Language Learning Center is located in the north of the reading room. It is a square pavilion with a single eaves, with a roll shed and a resting place at the top of the mountain, and a corridor to the east facing the viewing platform. There are six pieces of nanmu yarn in the pavilion, with patterns of apes, sheep, tigers, dogs and lions engraved on the hall board and orchids engraved on the skirt board, which are relics of the Ming Dynasty and treasures in the garden. The pavilion is surrounded by curved cloisters, and there is a peony flower bed opposite.
"Jiaqing Xi Jade Snow Pavilion" is a perfect combination of poetry and inscriptions. "Jiaqing" is taken from Fan Chengda's poem "Jiaqing has a new lesson" in the Song Dynasty. "Rain-loving" means timely rain, which is taken from the sentence meaning of "Those who like rain are interested in the people" in the Confucian classic Biography of Spring and Autumn Valley. Quick Snow is a book written by Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in Jin Dynasty. The name of the pavilion is beneficial to farming, and it can also refer to the scenery of the four seasons in the garden.
"Bow down to the peak pavilion" is taken from the sentence of "Bow down before Lushan Mountain" written by Zhu, a thinker in the Song Dynasty. There is a lake stone in the west of this building, named "Duxiufeng", and the courtyard in front of the porch is called "Shilin Courtyard". There are Cui Wan, Duan Jin and other stone peaks in Taihu Lake in the hospital.
Shu Xiaoting was originally named "Yue Xie Xingtai". Later, people borrowed the poem of Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, "Go for what you want, flow in the Qing Dynasty" and named it "Shuxiaoting". Xiao Shu Pavilion is round and pointed. It is built on a dirt mountain in the west, facing the Liuqinghe River.
At that time, Yundingfeng, Xiuyunfeng and Ruiyunfeng were the most peculiar rocks in the Lingering Garden, and they stood tall, especially Yundingfeng. Cheng Kang's son, Sheng Xuanhuai, once nicknamed his three granddaughters after this peak, so it is also known as the three peaks of lingering sisters.
There are some interesting anecdotes about the three sisters. At that time, Sheng Xuanhuai liked these three Taihu stones in the east of Liuyuan and gave nicknames to his three granddaughters. Maybe it's a historical coincidence. The condition of the stone is also reflected in Sheng Xuanhuai's three granddaughters.
Sheng Yuqing, nicknamed Guan Yun, said, "Because my father-in-law gave me an auspicious name, I have always been healthy, so I simply used Guan Yun as my name."
Sheng Yuzhu, nicknamed Yun Xiu. There is also a little sister named Ruiyun who died unfortunately when she was young. Later, the servant told Sheng Xuanhuai that the peak of Ruiyunfeng was connected by glue, not a complete stone peak of Taihu Lake.
Sheng Xuanhuai was very angry when he learned that. According to superstition, it is very unlucky to name one of your granddaughters after a broken peak stone.
So, in a fit of pique, Sheng Xuanhuai ordered people to pick the broken peak head and put it next to Ruiyunfeng, still lying motionless beside the peak. This peak is triangular, about 1m long, 0.6m wide and 0.35m thick. The color and texture are the same as those of Rui Yunfeng.
The rockeries and peak stones in the Lingering Garden have strange shapes and a long history, and some of them have had many touching stories. These confusing stories add some mysterious beauty to the ancient lingering garden.
After the expansion of Kang Sheng, there are more than 26,000 square meters left in the park, which is more magnificent than the former Liuyuan. The Housheng family bought the former site of the temple and built a mansion to make the garden more magnificent.
After the renovation and construction of Shengkang, the buildings in Liuyuan have increased in number and volume. Gorgeous decoration, more beautiful than in the past, changed the deep atmosphere in the garden before.
The architectural titles of Liuyuan Garden are "Life Museum with Beautiful Moonlight", "Pavilion with Beautiful Rain and Snow in Sunny Days", "Feel relaxed and happy" and "Home is at home when there is little wind and rain". The title of Wu Fengxian Mountain Pavilion is:
It is better to live in the four dynasties of Guanhai and don't live up to the cool breeze and bright moon;
Borrowing the land of other countries, we arranged strange stones and famous flowers because of entrustment.
All these reflect Kang Sheng's pride in enjoying his old age, which is very rare in the gardens built by retired officials.
Later, the Sheng family declined, and the garden was destroyed and abandoned for various reasons. The remaining gardens were later rebuilt according to historical materials. The reconstructed Lingering Garden enjoys a high reputation for its unique and natural exquisite architectural art.
Layers of buildings, the architectural space changes endlessly, revealing each other, dense, virtual and real, open and comfortable, amazing.
As soon as I entered the gate, the architectural art of Liuyuan was extraordinary. In the narrow entrance, between the two high walls is a winding walkway of more than 50 meters. The gardener makes full use of the changes of space size, direction and light and shade to make this monotonous paragraph interesting.
The couplets at the entrance of Lingering Garden are:
Several balconies are painted gold and silver;
Huashi is great.
This couplet is a pair of shoulder poles hanging on both sides of the hall. In the couplets, I praised the beauty of pavilions and flower stones. At the end of the corridor are fuzzy windows and caves, and the lakes and mountains in the central scenic spot are looming. Bypassing the doors and windows, the scenery in front of you can be seen in an unobstructed view, achieving the artistic effect of wanting to promote and suppress first.
The passageway in Lingering Garden creates a deepening atmosphere through interlocking space. What tourists see is a cloister, not a small courtyard, which is a continuous and scattered architectural combination.
Exquisite and gorgeous halls in the park, together with quiet and leisurely study, rich and diverse courtyards, quiet and small patios, terraced pavilions and winding pavilions, skillfully form a rhythmic whole, which makes every part and corner of the park exude architectural beauty.
