Ge Garden (one of the four famous gardens in the country)

Ge Garden is located on Dongguan Street on the outskirts of Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. It was formerly known as Shouzhi Garden in the early Qing Dynasty. During the Jiaqing and Daoguang years, Huang Zhiyun, a salt merchant from the Huaihe River, purchased this garden and renovated it. Because of the large number of bamboos planted, it was named "Ge Garden", which means straight and unbent, open-minded and upward. "Yangzhou is famous for its famous gardens, and its famous gardens are famous for its stacked stones." Geyuan is an urban forest with bamboo and stone as the main body and features stone peaks. It is said that it was created by the famous painter Shi Tao during the Kangxi period. The predecessors said that "painting mountains comes from painting things". Painting mountains in the garden is rich in painting theory. Between the similarity and the dissimilarity, it attracts people's infinite reverie. The peaks in the park are tall and majestic, giving people a real sense of rockery. There are Yiyuxuan, Baoshan Tower, Fuyun Pavilion, Zhuqiu Pavilion, Touyue Pavilion and other buildings in the garden, which complement each other with the rockery pool and are matched with ancient and famous trees, making it more simple and elegant.

Ge Garden is famous for its "four seasons rockery". The spring scene is near the entrance to the south of the Osmanthus Hall. Stalagmites are arranged along the flower wall, which resembles unearthed spring bamboos and echoes the bamboo forest, adding to the atmosphere of spring. The summer scene is in the northwest of the garden, with a rockery on the lake and a pond, a deep valley, beautiful trees and purple shade, and the sound of gurgling water, making it extremely quiet. The autumn scenery is like a Yellowstone rockery, with towering cliffs and steep cliffs. There is a climbing path in the cave, spiraling up, and the scenery changes step by step, which is fascinating. A pavilion is set up on the top of the mountain, forming the highest scenic spot in the whole park. In winter, the rockery is in the small southeast courtyard. White and round snow stones are stacked against the wall, as if the snow has not disappeared. Four rows of round holes are opened on the south wall to take advantage of the airflow changes in the high walls of the narrow alley. The resulting effect of howling north wind becomes the atmosphere of a winter snowstorm. And there is another round empty window on the west wall of the small courtyard, where you can see the green bamboos and camellias in the spring mountain scenery. It is like the harsh winter has passed and the beautiful spring has arrived. This kind of conception makes the changes in the garden space very innovative. The four seasons of rockery have their own characteristics, expressing "spring mountains are beautiful and like a smile, summer mountains are green and like drops, autumn mountains are bright and clean like makeup, winter mountains are bleak and like sleep" and "spring mountains are suitable for traveling, summer mountains are suitable for viewing, autumn mountains are suitable for climbing, and winter mountains are suitable The poetic and picturesque feeling of "residence". The garden has novel purpose and strict structure. It is an unique example of Chinese gardens and one of the most famous gardens in Yangzhou.

He Garden (the first garden in the late Qing Dynasty)

Originally known as Jixiao Villa, it is located on Xu Ningmen Street beside the ancient canal. It is the most distinctive garden in Yangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty. The surname of the owner of the garden is He, so it is named Hejia Garden, or "He Garden" for short.

He Garden, also known as "Jixiao Villa", was built by He Zhige, who served as the supervisor of Hubei Han Huangdaotai and Jianghanguan during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and served as the Qing government's envoy to France. It was the former site of the Shuanghuai Garden during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. . During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the former site of Shuanghuai Garden was rebuilt into Jixiao Villa, covering an area of ??more than 14,000 square meters. There are two large locust trees in the garden, which are said to be the relics of Shuanghuai Garden, and one of them still exists today. The name of the garden comes from Tao Yuanming's meaning of "Come back home...climb Donggao to soothe the whistle, and compose poems by the clear stream." The garden was built as the back garden of He's house, so it is also called "He Garden". In the ninth year of Guangxu (AD 1883), after the owner of the garden returned to Yangzhou, he purchased the former site of Wu's Pianshi Mountain House and expanded it into the garden. The owner of the garden brought Western architectural features back to the ancient civilization, and absorbed the advantages of Chinese royal gardens and private gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. He also made extensive use of new materials, making the garden innovative by absorbing the experience of many gardens.

He Garden is a representative work of Yangzhou gardens in the late Qing Dynasty. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit and embodies the characteristics and style of Yangzhou gardens. Strolling through He Garden, you will find winding corridors, empty paths, rockeries on the walls, birds perching on trees and hills, fish swimming in the water... just like "birds flying on the screen, in a fairyland."

He Garden There are four "No. 1 in the world" in the garden, three of which are located in the West Garden. The "No. 1 corridor in the world" refers to the double-passage cloister in He Garden. It is divided into upper and lower floors, either straight or curved, and runs through the whole garden. , with a total length of more than 1,500 meters, is known as the prototype of China's overpass. The flower window on the corridor of Fudao is called "the best window in the world". It is large and majestic. You can enjoy the scenery as you go around the corridor. It is a garden flower. A rare masterpiece in the window. The "No. 1 Pavilion in the World" refers to the Shuixin Pavilion in the center of the West Garden. The Shuixin Pavilion is the only water stage in China, where people can sing and dance skillfully with the help of water. The echo of the corridor has the effect of enhancing the sound of the sound. The stone mountain house located in the southeast of the park is called "the best mountain in the world". There is a stone house with two stone houses hidden in the belly of Master Shi Tao's unique world. There are entrances and exits from east to west. In the hot summer, the sun is scorching, so this is an excellent place to relax and cool down.

Daming Temple (the first temple in Huaidong)

In the northern suburbs of the ancient city of Yangzhou, Shubang stretches like a crouching dragon. The world-famous Daming Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, stands on the middle peak of Shubang due to its collection of Buddhist temples, cultural relics and historic sites. The garden scenery is well-known throughout the ages, and it is a national cultural treasure with rich historical and cultural connotations.

The Daming Temple was named after it was first built in the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Dynasty (457-464). Over the past 1,500 years, the name of the temple has changed. For example, it was called "Qiling Temple" and "West Temple" in the Sui Dynasty, and "Zhengping" in the late Tang Dynasty. Temple", in the 30th year of Qianlong's reign, the emperor personally inscribed "Edict Fajing Temple". In 1980, Daming Temple restored its original name.

The cultural heritage of Daming Temple is very rich, and there are many beautiful words and poems in the past dynasties. Shanmen On the outer east side wall, facing south, there is a stone inscription with the words "The First View of Huaidong" in a scroll. This stone was erected during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. It was proposed by Gao Shiyao, the prefect of Yangzhou, and used the famous poet Qin Shaoyou of the Song Dynasty to praise the greatness. The landscape of the Ming Temple is inscribed with calligraphy by Jiang Heng, a calligrapher from Jintan. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Yangzhou was under the jurisdiction of Huainan East Road. The famous writers Su Che (Ziyou) and Qin Guan (Shaoyou) visited the Daming Temple and composed poems and songs. The last sentence of Qin Shaoyou's poem is: "If a tourist wants to discuss the beauty of climbing, he must take the first view of Huaidong." "Since then, the Daming Temple scenic spot has become famous all over the world as "the first scenic spot in Huaidong".

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng once wrote a couplet for the Daming Temple: "Wan Songyue ***'s clothes are bright, and the five The night wind blows with the sound of Zen tin. "Qianlong's inscribed couplet: "The wonders of the Huaihai Sea are unique to the pure land, and the tranquil mountains and rivers are in harmony with the wonderful and bright mind in the distance. "On the east corridor wall of the North Courtyard of Qingkong Pavilion on the east side of Daming Temple, there is an inscription of "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" in seal script by the famous calligrapher Deng Shiru of the Qing Dynasty.

Guanyin Mountain

Guanyin Mountain is the former site of Milou in the Sui Dynasty. According to "Milou Ji", Milou was the palace of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Zhejiang Designed by craftsman Xiang Sheng, "it was built by tens of thousands of ordinary servants over the years. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once said: "Even if a true immortal travels here, he should also be confused."

"The building was destroyed after the death of the Sui Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Hitong once inscribed a plaque "Jian Lou", which clearly meant "to serve as a warning to future generations" and to use the lessons of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to serve as a warning to future generations.

From the Yuan Dynasty to Beginning in the Yuan Dynasty, it has been repeatedly demolished and repaired during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Most of the temple's current buildings were built during the Guangxu period, and the Buddha statues were all remodeled after 1984. Guanyin Mountain is the representative of the mountain temple. It is located on the east peak of Shugang. Because the terrain is the highest in Yangzhou, Gou Temple boldly uses the structure of a mountain temple: instead of emphasizing symmetry, the temple is built on the top of the mountain to follow the mountain. The ancient trees on the mountain block the sun, the red walls are towering, and the towers and halls are staggered. The temple seems to be integrated into one. Its first characteristic is that it is winding and winding, from the front of the mountain to the top, the brick-paved mountain road is winding and steep, and the two sides are like parapets on the city wall, so it is known as the "Little Great Wall" on the mountain. There are Yuantong Hall, Milou, Zizhulin, Shangyuan and other buildings.

These buildings are not on the same central axis. For example, Shanmen Hall is built in the west, while Tianwang Hall and Yuantong Hall sit in the west. Facing south, when you think there is no way to go, you go around the side hall, then enter the purple bamboo forest, climb a few steps, and see the mysterious tower appearing in front of you: "The pavilions are high and low, and the windows are high." In the shadow, there are secluded rooms, curved rooms, jade railings and red wooden shields, connected to each other, looping around in four directions, the curved houses are connected by themselves, and there are thousands of doors, all golden above and below. "The second characteristic is that it is dangerous. The temple is located on the top of a mountain, with a stone foundation. The buildings are all majestic and have towers and pavilions. Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, dangerous buildings confront each other on the cliff. The woods here are called "Yunlin" and the pond here is "Yunlin". "Tianchi", the building here is called "Zhaixing Tower", when Emperor Gaozong visited the south, he once wrote a couplet "The Lu River flows into the clear light, the green mountains are still ancient", and the horizontal comment "mainly steep and steep" appropriately summarizes its precipitous state. Come out.

His successor, deputy general Shi Dewei, could not find his body, so he was buried in plum blossoms. At the foot of the ridge, a temple was built outside Dadongmen in the early Qing Dynasty, but was later destroyed. During the Qianlong period, a temple was built on the west side of the tomb, and was named Zhongzheng. It was destroyed during the Xianfeng period and rebuilt in 1935. It was repaired twice in 1948. Most of the existing buildings were built in the late Qing Dynasty after 1949 and are now the "Shi Kefa Memorial Hall".

There is a couplet in front of the tomb, counting the plum blossoms and the tears of the country's subjugation. Two The clear attachment to the moon can inspire people's national self-esteem and patriotic enthusiasm." When he accompanied North Korean Chairman Kim Il Sung to visit here in 1991, he personally introduced this couplet to him and said: "We must look at the problem historically.

In the eighth year of Qianlong's reign, Hongli saw the "Picture of Cherry Bamboo Shoots" written by Zheng Xie, and immediately sealed it with the oval seal with red inscriptions, "the treasure of Qianlong's Royal View". In the thirteenth year of Qianlong's reign, during Hongli's eastern tour, Zheng Xie was granted the title of "History of Calligraphy and Painting".

Dongguan Street

There is a street that crosses the east and west in the ancient city of Yangzhou. One of the main streets is Dongguan Street.

Dongguan Street is located in the northeast corner of Yangzhou City. It was once the settlement of Yangzhou salt merchants. It is also the center of culture and the center of Yangzhou gardens. It is the center of food culture and bathing culture.

Dongguan Street is full of books, flowers and beautiful gardens. Such as Ma Yue Museum, Ma Yuelu brothers' Jienna Bookstore and Xiaolinglong Mountain Museum, the famous Meihua Academy, Yidong School, Lianghuai Middle School, Fuchun Garden, Xie Fuchun, Geyuan, Yipu, and Li Changle's former residence in the east In the Guanjie lanes there are the former residence of An Qi, Bao Shichen, Fang Erqian, Zhang Yuliang and the former residence of Cao Qijin, the earliest Communist Party member in Yangzhou. For example, Gu Bokui, Wang Banzai, Wu Yangeng, Jiang Zhenguang and Li Shenghe of the modern Yangzhou School of Painting all lived here.

Yangzhou is like a history book, and its streets and lanes are the chapters in the book; Yangzhou is also like a museum, and its streets and lanes are the objects displayed in the museum. No matter which street or alley you walk into, you can feel the long history and profound cultural atmosphere of Yangzhou. There are more than 500 criss-crossing streets in Yangzhou, and Dongguan Street is one of them. In the 1950s and 1960s, the author was a resident of Dongguan Street and moved three times. Later, I walked through it countless times, which left a deep and beautiful impression on me.

The street is about one kilometer long and five meters wide. It is located in the northeast corner of the ancient city of Yangzhou. Because the street runs from west to east until it reaches Dongguan City Gate, or directly to Dongguan Ancient Ferry, it is named Dongguan Street. Dongguan City Gate, formerly known as Lijin Gate, was where the ancient Lijin Ferry was located. Later, Lijin Gate was renamed Dongguan Gate, and Lijin Ferry was renamed Dongguan Ancient Ferry. On both sides of the street, there are many alleys leading to the whole city. Each alley has its origin or a story full of history and culture. For example, Guanxiang and Wenting Alley are both related to Qionghua. Ouyang Xiu, a great writer who was the governor of Yangzhou at that time, built the Wushuang Pavilion in Qionghua Temple. It can be seen from this that those who look at the alley are connected to the alley of Qionghua Temple; those who ask about the pavilion are called Wushuang Pavilion. However, the three most famous gardens of Dongguan Street are the three famous gardens of the three Confucian merchants, namely Baichi Wutong Pavilion, Xiaolinglong Mountain Pavilion and Ge Garden. Everyone knows the private gardens, while Baichi Wutong Pavilion and Xiaolinglong Mountain Pavilion are slightly less well-known. Wang Maolin (1640-1688), the master of Baichi Wutong Pavilion, was named Jiaomen. He was a salt merchant. He was well-read, eager to learn, and good at poetry and prose. He once entered the history museum to compile "History of Ming Dynasty" and authored "Bai Chi Wutong Pavilion Collection" which has been published in the world. The Baichi Wutong Pavilion is located on the east side of Beiyaguanren Lane on Dongguan Street Road. It is where Wang Maolin studied. It is named after the Baichi Wutong. There are rockeries, ink ponds, cinnabar wells, twelve inkstone houses, and thousand-year-old wolfberries in the garden. During Emperor Qianlong's southern tour and stationed in Yangzhou, he was blessed with this garden and wrote a couplet as a gift: "A hundred-foot Wutong Pavilion, a thousand-year-old wolfberry root". Let’s talk about Xiaolinglong Mountain Pavilion. The Xiao Linglong Mountain Library was originally one of the twelve scenic spots of the Jie Nan Bookstore. Because the owners often held poetry and literary receptions here, the Jie Nan Bookstore was overshadowed by it. Some people only know about the Xiao Linglong Mountain Museum but not the Jie Nan Bookstore. The Jienan Bookstore is the villa of the salt merchants Ma Yueguan and Ma Yuelu brothers. Although the Ma brothers were salt merchants and were as wealthy as Yangcheng, they did not take pride in living a luxurious life and spending a lot of money. Instead, they took pride in "ancient books, friends, and mountains and rivers." They love books very much. When they come across secret books, rare books and good books, they will spend a lot of money to buy them. They are famous bibliophiles in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Its collection of books contains more than 100,000 books in hundreds of cupboards, and is known as the "best collection of books in the southeast". There are also engraved books such as "Yupian", "Guangyun", "Zijian" and "Shuowen". They are carefully collated and beautifully bound, and are known as "horse editions". Although the Xiaolinglong Mountain Pavilion does not exist today, the Linglong Stone is still there. The "Picture of the Xiaolinglong Mountain Pavilion" painted by Zhang Geng and the "Picture Notes" written by Ma Yuelu are still there. If the old appearance can be restored, it will undoubtedly add value to Yangzhou. A tourist attraction full of cultural atmosphere. In addition to the Salt Merchant Garden, there is also the famous garden "Yipu" on Dongguan Street. Yipu was built by Li Hesheng, who was engaged in money business in the early years of the Republic of China. It is located at the west end of Dongguan Street and faces south. After entering, there is an octagonal gate with the word "Yipu" carved in stone on the forehead. There are rockeries, half pavilions, The flower hall and bamboo forest are laid out using the "survival from desperate situation" technique, which is comparable to Suzhou Quyuan. A generation of painters Wang Banzai and Wu Yangeng once lived in this garden to paint splash-ink paintings. Dongguan Street not only has the famous Confucian merchant garden, but also Simei Sauce Garden and Xie Fu Chun Xiang Powder Factory, which are famous all over the country. The pickles produced by Simei Sauce Garden are famous for their freshness, tenderness, crispness and sweetness. During Kangxi's southern tour, he was appreciated by the princes and ministers, and every time he would take it back to Beijing as a gift to his relatives and friends. Xie Fu Chun Fragrance Powder is deeply loved by ordinary people, dignitaries, and wealthy businessmen. It is not only famous at home, but also the first to go abroad. Dongguan Street has a good educational tradition. There are Anding Academy and Guangling Academy, one on the north of the road and one on the south of the road, facing Wangheng. In addition, there are many schools. Over the past thousands of years, countless talents, scholars, scholars, poets, scholars, calligraphers and painters have emerged from Dongguan Street.
