In its heyday, Liangyuan Garden was large-scale, with numerous buildings and unique gardening art, which combined garden art with China cultural tradition. It has rich cultural and artistic connotations, elegant and refined ideas, and the ancestral hall, mansion and garden buildings in the garden are integrated into one, with strong local color. The pavilions, bridges, pavilions and pavilions in the garden are well-defined, light and transparent, which are in harmony with the large area of green water lotus ponds, pine dikes and willow banks. All kinds of exotic flowers and herbs, pine and cypress, and Lingnan fruits add a lot of color to the garden. The whole garden is exquisitely laid out, gathered and dispersed properly, elegant and chic.
The Star Cottage was built by Liang Jiuhua, located in Xianfeng Road, Song Feng Road, covering an area of several thousand square meters. Its garden architecture is spacious and transparent, surrounded by cloisters, which has the effect of changing scenery. There is a pavilion in the garden, which was named "Huting Pavilion" by Li Keqiong. There is a small lake in the west of the garden, with water cypresses planted by the lake, stone platforms placed in the patio, flower bases and various seasonal flowers. Set up a scaffold outside the window and plant orchids below.
The garden buildings in Liangyuan are exquisite, unique and fascinating. Although it is not big, it is small and exquisite. The star-studded cottage "Half Pavilion" has a strange structure. Just after watching the exquisiteness and exquisiteness of the "Xingcaotang" group, suddenly, the "Fenjiang Cao Lu" group is spacious and distinct, and the rare wide water surface of Lingnan Ancient Garden is displayed in front of us. Therefore, people think that "water" is indispensable in ancient gardens.
The Fenjiang Cao Lu was built by Liang Jiutu. The Cao Lu of Fenjiang River is "half an acre of pond, a few acres of slope, and the clear waves are surging." The bridge crosses the winding path and bypasses the forest. The house is like a fishing boat with more water. "I saw the Fenjiang River as green as a mirror, surrounded by flowers and bamboos on both sides, with rhyme bridge, Zhou Shi, pavilion, paper planting place, water dock and Suocui Bay. Here winding paths and pavilions are strewn at random, firewood is tied as doors, willow banks are lined up, thousands of bundles are repaired, and hundreds of pine trees are planted.
Based on the edge of the pool, lotus flowers are planted in the pool, staggered and stacked, covered with thousands of stems and colorful. In the middle of the lake stands huge stones, including steep bends, which are indescribable. Next to the stone is Xiao Xuan, named "Zhou Shi". It is about seven or eight meters long, like a purple cave boat. The waves meet Huajin, and the road forces the dock. There is a rhyme bridge in the west of the pavilion, and if the rainbow hangs on the mirror. There are several clusters of plantains and boxes of stones in the north of the bridge. If you are free, talking about poetry and painting under the banana is like entering a paradise and forgetting all the insults.
It seems that the water in Liangyuan is based on the situation, and it should be small and big. As long as there is water, there will be waterfalls and surging waves. The ancients' understanding of heaven and earth is that beyond Kyushu, there is the sea, a fairyland that ordinary people can't cross. However, there is a "magpie bridge" in the Milky Way in the sky and a flowing water bridge in the garden on the ground. The water in Liangyuan is used to carry houses, ships and bridges to the ideal shore. In Liangyuan, it is worth mentioning that the arrangement of plants is very particular. Zeng Zheng, a good friend of Liang Jiuhua, said in a poem: Liang Garden "both gardens are painted, and the court is full of orchids." It turns out that plants should pay attention to poetry and painting, and the essence of poetry and painting is the plant variety that traditional literati express their thoughts and feelings.
Liangyuan is evergreen all the year round, and the fruits and flowers are beautiful. There are dozens of Lingnan fruits such as litchi, longan, jackfruit, guava, water Pu Tao, carambola and banana in the park. Through tree selection and felling, it echoes with buildings and lakes and swamps, forming "seamless" shade, beautiful ancient trees and deep gardens.
Mango in Luzon, nearly 20 meters high, is still lush for more than a hundred years; Shrub flowers such as osmanthus fragrans, murraya, Milan, Michelia, talons, canna, etc. , and the tall trees form a patchwork height, and the visual space is distinct or separated, which makes people feel the poetry of "a bright village in the future" among the green trees.
It can be seen that the gardeners in Liangyuan choose plants by their gardening nature, express their heartfelt wishes with the help of plants, and express their fresh and refined personality ideals and spiritual pursuits of detachment and escape.
