It's a misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. You can meet it when you have time.
This is a sweet cake. You can stick to it when you breathe. ...
It is also an inexplicable nostalgia and nostalgia.
On such a cloudy afternoon, a little rain fell into the eyelids.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a person hides in a bamboo forest with few tourists, orders a pot of strong or weak tea, and sits quietly in a pavilion or waterside pavilion. What we can do is to forget first and then feel, whether it is rain or silence, tea or heart.
Only in this way can we know the real Changshu.
Changshu Garden is the crystallization of Changshu history and culture. From reading platform to Wu Tong Garden, from Banye Garden to Qiushui Garden, such as Mimi Jiaowei Spring, it has a long history and comes down in one continuous line. Therefore, the incense of culture and the soul of the garden are like the acacia of Hongdu Mountain Villa. Although it has gone through many vicissitudes, it is still full of flowers and colorful.
Jiangnan garden is a literati garden. Those developed and wealthy literati have turned the original intention of life found in natural beauty into the practice of life, and achieved a high degree of integration of living environment and quality of life. As far as its essence is concerned, gardens are the crystallization of cooperation between educated figures and clever craftsmen.
Changshu has a long history of gardening. At the foot of the verdant Yushan Mountain, among the dense water and willow smoke, there are countless wind pavilions and moon pavilions. According to the statistics of researchers, there are no fewer than 120 private gardens in Changshu history, which is amazing in a county-level town.
What's interesting is that "seven streams and ten thousand waters all lead to the sea, and ten miles of green hills and half eight cities." Changshu is an urban mountain forest: rich land, prosperous writing style and craftsman skills have become fertile soil for the flowers of Yushan garden art.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Tong Garden and Luyuan (which no longer exist today) built by Fu Cha, the King of Wu, were the earliest gardens in Changshu with history for reference. Wu Tong Garden is located in Wu Palace, which is famous for its numerous Wutong trees. It is said that Changshu is also called Qinchuan. Changshu Garden was the earliest garden in Wu at that time, and it was also the first garden in Suzhou.
During the Six Dynasties, the prosperity of the temple jungle gave birth to the emergence of temple gardens. The famous Kofukuji in Changshu was built at this time. In the Tang Dynasty, Guangfu Temple was one of the famous temples in the south of the Yangtze River, with its spacious halls, flying springs and stone bridges, restored corridors and pavilions. Chang Jian's poem "Zen House after Broken Mountain Temple" shows his interest in nymphs, and his "My road twists and turns through a sheltered depression" has become the characteristic of later Jiangnan gardens. Prince Xiao Tong of Liang Zhaoming came to Yushan to build a reading platform, which is now the location of the "reading platform". His land is half a mountain and half a city, with green valleys and flowing springs, which has far-reaching origin and internal influence on the private gardens of Changshu literati in later generations, and also opened the scroll of Changshu gardens. Today, there is a reading platform park on Yushan Mountain, and there are many gardens in Xiaofu Temple.
At the turn of the Tang and Song Dynasties, Changshu's economy gradually prospered, which promoted the prosperity of culture and education. On the banks of the Naqin River and Swallow Gu Xiang, there are already literati ponds. In the Song Dynasty, the initial spring tide of Changshu gardens surged. Chen Qizong built a reading desk at Luyuan site, and later Luwan built it into a waiting hall. Because of its name, Chen Lu Garden is the first private garden in Changshu. In the yuan dynasty, the wind of building gardens next to houses gradually flourished. The most famous is Wu Tong Garden, Caoshan Town, Fushan, Changshu. According to records, Wu Tong Garden is vast, quiet and beautiful, with hundreds of trees planted. When the guests arrived, they ordered the boy to wash the trees, so it was also called the tree washing garden. Scholars and celebrities often gather here. The garden relics in the Tang and Song Dynasties mainly include the square pagoda in today's square pagoda garden.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the development of Changshu gardens reached a climax. Various artistic talents and schools represented by money have become the source of gardening. According to records, among more than 270 gardens in Wuzhong in the Ming Dynasty, Changshu accounted for nearly 50, with unprecedented artistic level and many famous gardens.
Wang Chuan Jr. was first built in Xicheng, which was built after the retirement of Wanli Yushi Qiandai. There is a mansion in the north, a garden in the house (around Xiuju), exquisite and exquisite, and a big garden in the south. The house garden covers a total area of nearly 200 mu, with 400 people, including pavilions and halls. Yi people have a poem: "90,000 square leaf boats, Xiaoshan is like rain." Today, there are countless poor eaves valves, and it is known that there are thousands of Wan Chuan. "Since Changshu was built, private gardens have reached this scale, so it is called' Thousand Board City'. Such a huge structure is rare in Jiangnan. Today, visitors can visit Zeng Garden and Zhao Garden in the Qing Dynasty at the site of Little Wang Chuan.
Suddenly appeared in the north city is the semi-wild park of Qian Qian B .. The garden site is also wide. "You can climb high and look far without leaving home, and even the mountain pavilions are in the wild." Cuiwei wants to go to the tomb of Qi's daughter, and Qing is far from Laozi Hall. Baiyun Nvqiang is a mountain belt, and the water of Honglan Bridge contains lake light. "This poem comes from Qian's Nine-Day Banquet, Huige Drunk Song, which is picturesque and seamless. There are thousands of books in Jiangyun Building in the park. In front of the building stands the stone tablet "Qin Xue" left by Lianhua Village in Zhao Ziang in the Yuan Dynasty.
As can be seen from the Block Diagram of Changshu City in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the most beautiful places in the garden are southwest and southeast, surrounded by mountains and rivers, half rural and half urban, with wide and convenient land and water, which not only satisfies the luxurious life of the city, but also enjoys the enjoyment of natural landscape art. It is divided into Xiaowanchuan and semi-wild garden by Qian Jia (Qian's brother). Therefore, later famous gardens such as Donggao Caotang and Weng's East Garden can only be built outside the East Gate and Xiaodongmen respectively.
Getang in Gaodong was built for the retreat of Qu Ru in Wanli, and its son Qu Shizhen developed and expanded it. There is water in the park pillow mountain, and it is empty and clear. "On the third bridge, the curved sill Zhu Lan reflects the uneven reflection. No matter how beautiful the flowers are, it is not enough for the moon to clear the snow. That is, the cold suburbs and the bleak wind and rain are enough for people to appreciate. Anyone who has traveled far and passed by here will always sigh and linger, thinking that the beauty of the three Wu Dynasties. If you can make it, there will be poetry, and those who dare to go will be endowed. " Qian also has Fushui Mountain Villa, a suburban garden built under Fushui Rock in Yushan at the invitation of Zhang Nan, a famous painter in Ming Dynasty. The garden is close to the water cliff, where the tiger wins, the green willow long embankment, the slanting bridge and the winding path lead to a secluded place. Liu Zeng painted "Willow on the Moon Dike" and the scale page of the landscape and the title couplet "Looking at the castle peak painting and listening to the shallow deep water piano". Zhuang Jing now sees it.
Reading and book collection in Changshu in Qing Dynasty flourished unprecedentedly. Wang Shigu is another painter after Huang, who is good at gardening. His family came to Qingge Garden, and Suzhou Xiugu Garden was also his handwriting. On the other hand, Qian Yong is an excellent gardener, and his Talk in the Garden is a masterpiece in the history of China gardens. "In the afternoon, the beautiful trees are getting clearer and rounder", and the gardens in Changshu are further deepened. Yan Garden featuring two rockeries, Water Dance Garden featuring an excellent water gallery, Huyin Garden featuring a lofty bookstore and a half-acre garden with a rich collection of books are all works of that era.
After the middle period of Daoguang, Changshu still has famous gardens. Zengyuan, the cloud tower is hidden between Lu' an and Tingzhou. Qu Fangzhi, White Pine Red Bean and Shuxuan Monument Gallery can all be properly arranged and become late singers of Changshu Gardens.
From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, China was in a situation of frequent wars, weak country and poor people, and garden construction gradually declined. Outside the north gate, along the Tang Ling, are Bi Cheng Villa, a bibliophile, and Qiu Shui Garden, a poet Cao Datie, descendants of Caoyuan Mountain City, which are the last two famous private gardens. Not long after, the Japanese invaders stepped into the villa, and the deep courtyard was silent and turned into ruins. The decline of gardens is linked with the rise and fall of Changshu, which reflects the destiny of the country.
After the founding of New China, especially after the reform and opening up, with the recovery of economic and cultural life, classical gardens such as Yanyuan Garden, Zengyuan Garden and Zhaoyuan Garden really came to an end.
It is worth mentioning that the existing classical private gardens in Changshu still have advantages in quantity and quality.
Changshu gardens began in the Spring and Autumn Period, developed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are not only Wang Chuan as big as Kunpeng, but also Huanxiuju as small as a sparrow. There are gorgeous and elegant semi-wild gardens and Gaodong Caotang, as well as quiet and humanistic rich water and Hongdu villa. There are both Yan Garden, which is famous for its rockery, and Water Dance Garden, which is famous for its waterscape. Therefore, it echoes Suzhou, a county town, and * * has become a major landscape of Suzhou gardens.
There are many literati in Changshu, and gardens developed to the Qing Dynasty, mostly study gardens. It's called Garden, which is actually a place for collecting books, reading books and reciting scriptures. It emphasizes a kind of poetry, so it pays great attention to garden topics, plaques or couplets. For example, Zeng Yuan's pavilions and pavilions are often set off by the clear and bright moon, such as inviting the moon, soaking the moon, praying for the moon, cooling the wind and holding the moon, which deepens the artistic conception of "empty outline". Let people integrate into the quaint experience, the experience of communicating with nature and the observation of life philosophy, get the aesthetic enjoyment of purifying the soul, produce all kinds of associations and associations, and sublimate the concept of garden landscape again. It should be said that the humanistic flavor and scroll flavor of Changshu gardens are outstanding in Jiangnan gardens.
