Dongting Dongshan, a peninsula in the northeast of Taihu Lake in Wuzhong, has a long history, beautiful scenery and rich specialties, and is a national-level scenic tourist area famous at home and abroad. Among the many scenic spots in Dongshan, the Carved Building, a building of the Republic of China, is famous for its ingenious and well-preserved carving art of "brick, wood, stone and gold", which is known as the "first building in the south of the Yangtze River" and was listed as the national key cultural relics protection unit in chinese heritage in May 26. "Carved House" used to be a common name among the people, and there is another name: Spring is in the building, which is quite elegant. "Flowers are still in spring" is a famous sentence of Yu Yue palace examination, a poet in Suzhou in the Qing Dynasty. And the owner of the carved building, Jin Xizhi, borrowed his meaning to name the building, carved flowers and painted colors, with flowers and trees outside the building, which is really beautiful in spring! In order to better continue the cultural heritage of this building in the Republic of China, the Wuzhong District authorities started the "National Treasure" protection planning and transformation plan with the theme of restoring the architectural culture of the Carved Building in the former Republic of China and restoring the local natural customs in the water towns and mountainous areas after the Spring Building was listed as the "National Treasure". The newly renovated Diaohualou Scenic Area, which has invested a lot of money, has more perfect functions of sightseeing and leisure, and will form a tourist scenic spot with comprehensive functions of scenic spot area, leisure area and supporting area. The main landscapes in the scenic spot area include carved buildings in the Republic of China, the top-ranked buildings and back gardens in the Ming Dynasty, historical and cultural exhibition halls of carved buildings, waterside pavilions, ancient pavilions, lotus ponds, promenades, ancient and famous trees, etc. Leisure areas mainly include standard rooms, leisure clubs, local products shopping malls, carved buildings restaurants, etc. The supporting area mainly has perfect parking facilities. After the transformation, the carved building scenic spot of the Republic of China will become the chief brand scenic spot of Suzhou's great tourism around Taihu Lake, which is called "Landscape Suzhou, Humanities Wuzhong", and will also become a veritable Wuzhong treasure of paradise Taihu Lake.

"This building is supposed to exist in the sky. How many times have you heard of it on earth?" Almost all people who walk into the carved building will give such a sigh. Every woodcarving and brick carving here is a smart note, which can knock your heartstrings and trigger your imaginary wings. Beautiful! Carved building. Every inch is an elf, a creation and an artistic treasure of the Chinese nation! Nearly 1 film and television dramas have been started and filmed here, and they have been successful. Not only can artists ignite inspiration and create a gorgeous artistic spring here; Countless tourists, from foreign leaders to all sentient beings, can get the feeling of happiness, sweet smile and endless reverie from here.

Walking in the long cloister of Zoumalou, a carved building, you have a profound taste, a tortuous taste, an ancient town legend left here, a short history and a deja vu life. The master's bedroom, the young lady's boudoir, and the priceless mahogany carved beds of the master and wife are full of historical dust. The luxuries of the past, such as the rare books with yellow paper, can be carefully studied, but it is not worth imitating and continuing to write. Philosophers say that history is a mirror. What can people reflect from it? There is nothing in the deep cloister. How many footprints were left here? How many laughs, sorrows and even cries are left here? Do you have love history, unofficial history, and erotic history? On one side of the corridor, a small window opened. That's what women use to spy on the downstairs from upstairs. It is said that most of them are blind dates, and occasionally, when women such as ancestor worship ceremonies are inconvenient to visit the scene, the ladies secretly look at the strange and novel world from here. The window opened silently, the sun and the moon passed away from here, smiling faces as beautiful as flowers and jade passed away from here, and the drama with ups and downs and interesting stories passed away from here. There is no trace of Mo Dao's years, a window, the history of Spring and Autumn leading to the ancient town of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, and how many dramas have been staged here during decades of ups and downs? From this window, everyone can try to figure out the familiar back of the ancient town that has not gone far; Everyone can appreciate the lingering charm of love. Mr. Jin, the landlord, made a fortune in business that year, which can be described as a rich man with heroic spirit. Why did he spend a lot of money to build a carved building? Dongshan is the land of tenderness. Green willows, small rivers, stone piers, wooden boats, arch bridges and red lanterns are used to the luxury of Shanghai Shili Yangchang. Perhaps, I still feel that this land in my hometown makes people feel warm and practical. So, I built this art palace as my final resting place. I didn't mean to praise the landlord. Compared with some big spenders today, Mr. Jin, who built this building in those days, deserves a respectful glance. After all, he left this artistic treasure for future generations. Suzhou produces talented people, and even businessmen have such artistic taste, which makes people sit up and take notice. Walking slowly along the Zoumalou, you can walk into history, reality and tomorrow. Just open your heart, my friend, and you can hear songs that inspire wisdom everywhere.

The garden is small, but it has rockeries, winding paths, clear water, arch bridges, pavilions, terraces, buildings, pavilions, flowers, birds, insects and fish. The most striking artistic feature of the carved building is thinness. Standing among them, I can't help but think of the legacy of an old drama artist to his disciples: fine, fine, fine! China's plays pay the most attention to the delicate work. Every time he raises his hand, he throws his foot, speaks, sings, recites and speaks freely, which is called Kung Fu. The most lovely thing about Suzhou gardens is that every detail can stand people's repeated scrutiny and play. This is especially true of carved buildings. Seeing the big from the small is the essence of art. Tourists like to stand quietly here, hoping for a moonlit and clear night, watching the moonlight like water, flowing down silently from the wind and fire wall that covered the third floor, talking with the sage-like Taihu stone, whispering and silently kissing the paved gravel path with elegant and noble crape myrtle, baby lotus and sandalwood plum, and then quietly flowing into the tourists' minds, a ray of coolness or a trace of sadness is the best. I was lucky enough to ignite the eternal melody of the blind man A Bing's two springs reflecting the moon, and let this small garden, which is full of Suzhou garden characteristics, be like a loving seed, spread in every visitor's heart and travel north and south with it. Therefore, the difficult life journey has added a continuous nostalgia and comfort, which is also the greatest blessing for tourists.

architecture is an art. A good building can not only make the people who live in it suitable, but also make the people who watch it smooth. This is the case with the Carved Building, which not only has practical value, but also enables the "viewers" to gain great artistic enjoyment. I didn't enter the door, but I saw a tall, steep black castle in the green fruit trees. Surrounded by high walls of wind and fire, everything in the wall is completely covered, which makes people feel dignified, mysterious and quiet. Enter the door, and there are two patios inside; Upstairs and downstairs, study, guest room, bedroom, secret room, balcony, garden ... The whole house covers an area of two acres and the plane is polygonal. From east to west, the main building is illuminated wall, gatehouse, front building, back building and annex house in turn on the central axis. The bottom floors of the front and back floors are halls, and the two sides are connected by compartments. There is a cloister upstairs to communicate before and after, commonly known as "walking the floor" and "turning the floor". To the west, it is connected with the old house of the Jin family-the Ming Dynasty building "Shi Zhuangyuan Mansion"; The back building in the north is an annex and a miscellaneous room; To the east is a small and exquisite garden ... The overall layout is reasonable, ingenious and orderly; In the meantime, it is open and bright, warm in winter and cool in summer, comfortable and convenient. For example, in the small garden in the east, there are Taihu Stone, rockery, exotic trees and beautiful trees such as baby lotus, ancient crape myrtle and sandalwood, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions ... like a concentrated "bonsai" of Suzhou gardens. According to Mr. Jin Zhenglin's recollection, the ground at the entrance of the garden was originally paved with glass flower stones instead of pebbles, which were long, square and round in shape, with an area of about one meter wide and three meters long, colorful, crystal clear and beautiful. The brick carving of Gu Long on the wall of the garden was presented by his relatives, Weng Jia, one of the "four big families" in Dongshan at that time, and was carved by famous craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty. The famous "Zodiac" rockery was sold to his family by Weng's family, and it was worth 3, silver dollars ... There are also the hexagonal pavilion and glazed tiles on the Buddha's building, and the "Four Seasons Window" with colored glass in the building, which makes people feel novel and beautiful.

Of course, the most wonderful, important and huge ornamental content is the sculpture art that can be seen everywhere in the building. There are wood carvings, brick carvings, stone carvings and golden carvings; Carving is divided into relief, round carving, hollow carving and yin-yang carving. Among them, the highest artistic value is the brick-carved gatehouse inside Shikumen. The contents of clay sculpture on the roof of the gatehouse are bats, auspicious clouds and evergreen; There are "the best", "heavenly god blesses the people", "Congratulations on getting rich", "Carp jumping over the dragon gate" … and various flowers such as Ganoderma lucidum, peony, orchid and chrysanthemum. The content of the brick carving of the gatehouse is complicated but not chaotic, and the levels are numerous and orderly. The picture of "Eight Immortals Celebrating their Birthday" is carved in the upper part of Hengle, which is based on Travel Notes to the East. It is said that on March 3rd, the Queen Mother of the West held a flat peach banquet, and each of the Eight Immortals brought treasures to the banquet. This is a symbol of a woman's birthday, which is called "longevity". The embossed "Ten Deer Scenes", ten deer and ten postures, lying, standing, jumping, running, lying, jumping, holding one's head, looking down, holding one's breath, or looking back, are full of soft, meaningful, leisurely and pleasant charm. Deer is the homonym of "Lu", where the common people's persistent pursuit and bold yearning for a better life are entrusted, reflecting the social psychology of "being a good official". The next Fang carving "A test of longevity with great wealth". It's about Guo Ziyi's official residence in the Tang Dynasty. He has seven sons and eight sons-in-law, and all of them are officials at the court. Every Guo Ziyi's birthday, seven sons and eight husbands all go to the mansion to celebrate their birthdays. This happy scene of children and grandchildren is a symbol of male longevity, which is called "both longevity and happiness". The composition of this sculpture is appropriate, it is natural, the characters are vivid, and the human touch is very strong, which can give people a sense of being gentle and charming. The left and right parts of the gatehouse are embossed with "Yao Shun's abdication" and "Wen Wang's visit to the sage", the former is called "virtue" and the latter is called "sage". The upper part of the platform is equipped with railings and three watchtowers, respectively carving "Fu, Lu and Shou", which means "Three stars shine high and grace lasts forever". "Samsung" is slim but not thin, plump but not bloated. Simple and honest appearance, traditional official dress, immortal demeanor and quiet expression all accord with unofficial history's records. The lower end of the platform is decorated with Wan Chuan hanging. There are six bucket arches under the five-inch eaves of the gatehouse, and the arches are carved with double happiness, double halberds and good luck, which is called "double happiness, good luck and good luck". Five-inch down the outside of both ends with gourd hanging buds, which is an endless symbol of future generations. The Soviet-style lions carved at the ends of the left and right vertical columns are kind-hearted, kind-looking, and gentle, but gentle and charming. The style is quaint and quiet, and the wind rules are far away. The upper end of the vertical column is embossed with "Cold Mountain Picked Up", and its appearance features are all unkempt and smiling, simple and simple, soft and full of charm. One holds a lotus flower and the other a round box, which means harmony and harmony. The south side of the gatehouse is embossed with golden pheasant lotus. The cock Jin Yu erect, twisted his neck and stared, looked directly at the bug on the lotus, and put on a picture and then stretched out his beak to eat, as a sign of "waving money to protect his neighbor"; On the north side, the relief phoenix wears peony, which means "wealth and splendor". The whole gatehouse is magnificent and elegant in shape, rigorous and dexterous in structure, broad and unified in subject matter, fine and quaint in carving, with the unique style of Soviet art, which can be called the fine brick carving art in China.

the number of wood carvings is the largest, and the most dense place for carving is the "Yanglu Jingshe Hall" in the downstairs hall. Except for gold, stone and brick carvings, all wooden beams, doors, windows and railings are carved everywhere. Such as load-bearing, joists, porch beams, beam mats, and cypress trees, carved with auspicious patterns such as "pointing to the rising of the sun", "Crane and deer in the same spring", "Eight Immortals crossing the sea" and "Phoenix wearing peony". Birds want to spread their wings, flowers want to dance in the wind, immortals lift their feet but don't move, while Swiss beasts hold their heads high and are arrogant. Symmetrical patterns, strewn at random, sparse and colorful, Cai Feng rare birds soar between the carved beams, and poetic and picturesque are formed in the painted walls. There are 48 stories of Romance of the Three Kingdoms carved with boxwood on three planes in Baotou beam. The martial arts figures are not only majestic, but also majestic and brave. The galloping, turning and leaping animals of the war horse are not only in harmony with the dynamic trend of the characters, but also in harmony with the plot of the battle. In addition, the story of Twenty-four Filial Pieties is carved on the long window and short window in front of the front floor and downstairs floor. The most noteworthy thing is that there are six water-blocking boards, and the whole board is carved with landscape figures. The content is complicated but not chaotic, and the levels are numerous and orderly. Although the whole picture is slightly dotted with several Gu Song miscellaneous trees, it can be huge and small. Although it is carved on the ground, it is particularly ethereal. As the barrier of the front hall, it is a long scroll of mountains and rivers, but when it is disassembled, it is an album of mountains and rivers. There are also hall boards in the half window of the front hall and skirts in the long window, which are embossed with the ancient people's efforts, such as "paying a salary at a negative angle", "reading at night", "reading with the moon", "ignoring the soup", "facing the sages" and "grinding the pestle on the road" There are mahogany closets on the gables of the wing, and the epigrams such as "Benevolence becomes a bundle, filial piety takes root" are engraved on the doors of the closets with Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Xing Caoli seal respectively. The flying cursive script is floating like a cloud, romantic and chic, and the writing style is curved and stretched, and the charm is smooth. The real calligraphy is amazing and full of energy. The brushwork of seal script is vigorous and powerful, profound and peaceful, while Oracle Bone Inscriptions is thin, hard and steep, steady and calm. The layout of calligraphy is divided into Zhu Bubai, the density is appropriate, the knife work is steady, accurate, light and heavy, and the stagnation is quite measured, which fully highlights the subtle realm of the carving art of Xiangshan gang artists in the Republic of China. According to the memory of Mr. Jin Zhenglin, the descendant of the landlord, there were three sets of original boxwood carvings: the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the lobby of the front building, the Romance of the West Chamber in the study room of the East Chamber, and the Twenty-four Filial Pieties in the second hall. Now only one set of Twenty-four Filial Pieties has been moved to the front hall. All these woodcarving works are superb in techniques; The characters are lifelike, and the landscape is quite ethereal.

The Carved Building, built in the early Republic of China, is a typical work of the Xiangshan Sect in the 192s. In addition to the traditional Chinese Fiona Fang, well-defined axis and balanced courtyard structure, it also boldly introduced western-style cement terraces and balconies. Colored glass, frosted glass, cast iron railings, clear downpipes, western-style closets, hatch floors, hatch doors and windows, iron shed windows, marble-locked foreign doors, etc. are widely used, as well as Baroque architectural art in the Western Renaissance, cross-shaped stair handrails in Christian architectural culture, and new carved cornices in Greece. It can be seen that this building is a combination of Chinese and western. With its unique artistic style, the building integrates brick carving, wood carving and painting, and it has become a representative work of architectural sculpture in Jiangnan area after Kangxi and Qianlong. It has become an important page in the history of modern architectural sculpture in China, which is of great value to the study of modern and modern sculpture history and folk culture in China. Dongshan Carved Building, a precious cultural heritage, was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit in May 26.
