Guanqian Street, Suzhou Guanqian Street is a bustling downtown area in Suzhou. Not many people who have been to Suzhou know about it. In Jiangnan, it is not uncommon to name a street after the front or back characters behind a certain landmark building. However, the ones Suzhou people like are probably second to none. There are too many examples before Wei Daoguan, Xuanmiao Temple, Zhen Mi Siqian, Shen Ya and Fan Zhuang. The most famous one is Xuanmiaoqian, commonly known as Guanqian Street, or simply Guanqian Street. Its reputation is the same as the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, the City God Temple in Shanghai, and the Tianqiao in Beijing. It is a popular entertainment venue integrating business, entertainment, food, and culture.
Just like there is Confucius Temple in Confucius Temple and Yu Garden in City God Temple, Guanqian Street is famous for its mysterious scenery. This is a magnificent Taoist architectural complex with a history of 1,300 years. The main hall is the Sanqing Hall, with nine bays and a double eaves resting on the top of the mountain, and there are more than ten other halls. The long street in front of the main mountain in the south is Guanqian Street. There are many shops, vendors, and various scenes. It is an old landscape with lofty views and bloated views. Starting from Jufang Bridge in the east and reaching Chayuanchang in the west, together with the nearby small park, there are hundreds of shops of various types, as well as night market stalls. Even in front of the primitive Buddha statue, it was filled with the smell of miscellaneous goods and noisy hawking sounds, and the air was extremely polluted. The renovation of the entrance hall has brought about the transformation of Guanqian Street.
A stone archway stands at the main entrance, surrounded by a small square. The tall and magnificent Sanqing Hall stands out among the surrounding high-rise buildings, restoring the sanctity and solemnity of the bishopric. The thick green cast by the towering trees on the terrace and guardrails filters and calms the noisy atmosphere around. The square in front of the mountain gate and the long east-west street are open and flat, eliminating the old pattern of narrow roads. Vehicles are no longer allowed to pass, and it has become a pedestrian street. The antique shops on both sides combine classical style with modern commercial civilization, giving the front a completely new look. The Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street in Shanghai lacks a strong cultural atmosphere, and the road to the City God Temple is too complicated, which also weakens the dominant position of culture.
Nanjing Confucius Temple, because of the confinement of the Confucius Temple and the narrowness of the square, it cannot have a profound atmosphere. It's just that "Guanqian" has taken off its dusty coat, set off its main mysterious view on the secular atmosphere of commercial culture, and used its profound history, classical spirit, and humanistic atmosphere to suppress the market atmosphere that fills it. Without or reducing the cultural subject of mysticism, it is like re-establishing a department store instead of reproducing the glory of mysticism. The chaos and complexity of the business atmosphere obscure or drown the cultural landscape, which is just vulgarity rather than culture. There are only humanistic and natural landscapes, without corresponding commercial and cultural colors. It is just an isolated attraction, not a popular downtown.
A new forward-looking attitude is a kind of cultural enlightenment. Without the brilliance of cultural subjects, even if there is good business prosperity, it is still not Suzhou. This is Guanqian, this is the charm of Suzhou. The Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou is a famous garden in the south of the Yangtze River in ancient China. It is one of the four famous gardens in China and a classic among Suzhou gardens. The Humble Administrator's Garden is located on Northeast Street at the northeast tower gate of the ancient city of Suzhou. The park covers an area of ??approximately 4.1 hectares (excluding management and gardening land of approximately 0.67 hectares). In the fourth year of Ming Dynasty (1509 AD), it was founded by King Yushi. Over the next 400 years, there were great changes and owners changed repeatedly. The original comprehensive garden evolved into three independent gardens with their own layouts.
In the early Humble Administrator’s Garden, the pictures, notes and chants of the Humble Administrator’s Garden were passed down from generation to generation, completely outlining the landscape and style of the Humble Administrator’s Garden. At that time, the park's area was approximately 13.4 hectares. There are many gaps in the garden, with stagnant water in the middle, and marshland dug into pools. There are 31 scenic spots including Fanhuawu, Yiyuxuan, Furongzhang, Xuan, sill, pool, platform, dock and stream. The entire garden is full of wild bamboo.
There are Guangguan Pavilion, Jialgang, Xiangtai, Wisteria Wu, Apricot Blossom Room, Bamboo Fragrance Gallery, etc. in the garden. It can be divided into four attractions. This is Cheongji Lake in Hanzhong. The main building, Blue Academy, is on the north side of the lake, surrounded by osmanthus trees, plum blossoms and bamboo curtains. To the south of the pool and to the left of the pool, there is He Peak. There is a cave under the peak called Xiao Taoyuan. Stepping into the cave is like fishing for a man into a paradise, and mulberry chickens and dogs are not like adults. To the west of Lan Xuetang, there are jagged sycamore trees, lush woods and bamboo groves, surrounded by streams, which means flowing water. To the north are Ziluo Mountain and Yangdang Pond. To the east is the lotus pond, covering an area of ??four or five acres, with Linxiang Tower inside. All kinds of fields are in front of you. In the early years of Qianlong's reign, the East Garden of the Humble Administrator's Garden was divided into two parts: the Middle Garden and the West Garden.
The existing layout was formed in the third year of Guangxu (1877 AD). Later, it was repaired by Zhang and renamed Buyuan.
Therefore, there are Taying Pavilion, Liuting Pavilion, Fucui Pavilion, Li Ding Pavilion, Who Sitting Pavilion, Yiling Pavilion and so on. The newly built 36 mandarin duck pavilions and 18 mandala flower pavilions are beautifully decorated and luxurious. The central part is the best part of the Humble Administrator's Garden. Although it has greatly changed and differed from the early Humble Administrator's Garden, the garden is dominated by water, with mountains piled in the pool, and halls, pavilions, and pavilions arranged around the pool, which basically continues the pattern of the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen from the "Picture of the Humble Administrator's Garden" in the Xianfeng period, the "Picture of the Humble Administrator's Garden" in the Tongzhi period, and the "Picture of the Eight Banners Fengzhi Hall" in the Guangxu period that Haitang Chunwu, Tingyu Pavilion, Lingxi Hall, Piba Garden, Xiao Feihong, Xiao Canglang, Tingsongfengchu, Xiangzhou, Yulan Hall and other courtyards are no different from the existing ones.
Therefore, the central landscape of the Humble Administrator's Garden should have been formed during the period from Xianfeng to Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty. There are certain differences in the layout of the Humble Administrator's Garden in different historical stages. In particular, the early Humble Administrator's Garden is not exactly the same as it is now. It is this difference that gradually formed the unique characteristics of the Humble Administrator's Garden, which mainly include:
(1) Adjust measures to local conditions and be good at water. According to records in "Wang's Humble Administrator's Garden" and "Returning to the Garden", the garden is mostly open space with stagnant water standing in it, slightly dredged, and surrounded by trees. The ground can be collected from the pond, and the soil can be collected from the pond. Cai, although the land is high, the mountains are mountains. In Ikenoe, there are houses among the mountains.
It fully reflects that the Humble Administrator's Garden took advantage of the abundant water in the garden and dredged it into a pond; if you look at the lake, you will form a boundless personality and characteristics. There are nearly six acres of water in the middle of the Humble Administrator's Garden, accounting for about one-third of the garden area. The pavilions and pavilions are all surrounded by water, creating a cheerful atmosphere in the garden space with a large water surface, basically maintaining the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty with vast pools and lush trees.
(2) Elegant, natural and wild. The early Humble Administrator's Garden had lush trees, chaotic water, and natural scenery. The buildings in the park are very sparse, with only one hall and six pavilions on the first floor. The number of buildings is very small, far below the building density found in today's gardens. Bamboo fences, thatched houses, and thatched cottages are integrated with the natural landscape. They are simple and elegant, and have a unique natural scenery. The existing landscape in the middle of the Humble Administrator's Garden accounts for about three-fifths of the garden area. There are two islands in the pool, and there are only a few pavilions and small buildings dotted on the poolside on the top of the mountain. The scenic spot looks elegant, elegant and natural. Although this layout has not yet been formed in the Ming Dynasty, it already has the style of the Humble Administrator's Garden in the Ming Dynasty.
(3) The courtyard is scattered and winding. Landscape architecture in Government Gardens. In the early stage, they were mostly monomers, but by the end of the Qing Dynasty, they had undergone major changes. First, the number of garden buildings such as halls, pavilions, corridors, and boats increased significantly. The building density in the middle reaches 16.
Only 1.2 hectares of the Humble Administrator’s Garden remain during the Guangxu period. Like other gardens in Suzhou, it covers a small area, so the first problem to be solved in gardening activities is to create unlimited scenery of natural landscape in a small space. This kind of garden-within-a-garden, multi-space courtyard combination and the division and penetration of space set off contrast; the combination of hidden and visible spaces, the twists and turns of virtual and real spaces, hidden and hidden; the purpose of space is to break through the limitations of space and obtain small insights. Great effect, resulting in a rich landscape. This treatment has universal significance in Suzhou gardens and is also a common feature of Suzhou gardens.
(4) Garden landscape, flowers and trees win. Zheng Xiang is famous for "The Overwhelming Success of Trees". For hundreds of years, it has been passed down in one continuous line. In the thirty-first scene of Wang Humble Administrator's Garden, two-thirds of the landscape is taken from plant themes, such as peach blossoms, which are planted on the shore. When the flowers bloom, they look like red clouds; there are thousands of beautiful bamboo branches along the bamboo stream, and the scenery is very quiet. There are hundreds of Yao books in the garden, and the flowers are in bloom. Returning to the rural home, there are also staggered clusters of laurel trees and weeping willows touching the ground. The trees are dense and the stones are covered with moss. Every spring, camellias are like fire and magnolias are like snow. The apricot blossoms are in full bloom, covering the sunset and the ravine. Xia He. The hibiscus trees in autumn are like overlapping brocade tents. In winter, the old plum blossoms are bent and the frost is proud. There are landscapes such as Fan Hongxuan, Zhimei Pavilion, Zhuxiang Gallery, Youzhu, Zitengwu, Huaduo Zhangjian and so on.
To this day, the Humble Administrator's Garden still maintains the tradition of winning with plant landscapes, with lotus, camellia and azalea as its three famous characteristic flowers. There are only 23 landscapes in central China, 80% of which are dominated by plants.
For example, the lotus flowers in Yuanxiang Hall, the pavilions on all sides of Hefeng (the fragrance is far away, but the breeze is clear, and the lotus breeze comes from all directions); leaning on bamboo in Yuxuan and Linglong Pavilion ("Bamboo is Ten Thousand Rods Long", "Moonlight Penetrates the Green Bamboo" ); Juwaishuang Pavilion ("The Dongting must be filled with frost"); Bamboo, lotus and banana in Tingyu Pavilion (Autumn bamboos fall when listening to the rain, banana leaves are half yellow, lotus leaves are green, the two autumn rains are the same); Magnolia in the hall (important things in this life) as pure as magnolia); the plums in the pavilion with fragrant snow clouds (I know it is not the snow in the distance, because the fragrance is coming); listening to the pine waves in the pine wind (since ancient times, the wind has blown the cold pines), and the Begonia Chunwu Begonias, willows in the winding path of willow shade, handrails in Piba Garden and Jiashi Pavilion, pines, bamboos and cypresses in Dezhen Pavilion, etc. Address: No. 178 Northeast Street, Suzhou Ancient City Tickets: 70 yuan/person in peak season, Lion Forest in off-season 50 yuan/person.
The Lion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou with a history of more than 650 years. In the second year of the last year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1342), the famous eminent monk Tianru, a disciple of Zen master Wei Ze, invested money to buy land and build a house to live in his master. There are various kinds of bamboo forests in the garden, and there are many strange stones under the trees that look like lions; because of Tianxiang Zen Master Wei Ze, he attained enlightenment at Zhongfeng, Puying Township, Shizi Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang. In order to commemorate the relationship between Buddha and his disciples, it took the meaning of Leo in Buddhist scriptures, so it was named Lion Grove or Lion Grove.
The Lion Forest has the cultural landscape of Suzhou classical garden pavilions, terraces, buildings, pavilions, halls, pavilions and corridors. It is famous for its picturesque lakes and mountains and deep caves. It is known as the rockery kingdom. The Lion Grove rockery, which has been passed down since the Yuan Dynasty, is characterized by its undulating peaks, majestic momentum, strange rocks and exquisite shapes. There are nine routes and 21 openings in the rockery group. It twists and turns horizontally and undulates vertically. Tourists pass through the holes, circling left and right, sometimes climbing to the top, sometimes sinking to the bottom of the valley, looking up at the mountains and overlooking the slopes, which may be slow or narrow, giving tourists a sense of mystery
In the second year ( In 1342), the Zen master Wei Zai bought his land from a disciple of Su and married his house as a heavenly palace. At that time, bamboo and stone occupied most of the land, but the house only had 20 cubicles and was relatively simple. In this dimension, it is easy to collect strange stones, including Guanghui Peak, Tuyue Peak, Li Yu Peak and Ang Xiao Peak, the tallest one looks like a lion. Because Wei Zeshi Zhongfeng preached Taoism at the Lion Rock in Tianmu Mountain and called it the Lion's Roar according to the words of the Buddhist scriptures, its location was called the Lion's Throne and the Lion's Forest. There are also Neili Tangxue, Zhiboxuan, Wenmei Pavilion, Yujianchi, etc. There is a sentence in "Book of Wei": Humanity knows that I live in the city, but they think that I am in the mountains. After Wei Yuan's death, his disciples dispersed, and the temple became increasingly deserted and scattered.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng's husband Pan lived in this area, and they all lived in nearby mansions. In the sixth year of Wu Ming Dynasty (1373), Ni Zan painted the Lion Forest. There were bamboo groves in the forest, a spacious thatched cottage, towering rocks, and no caves. The following year, Xu Bi produced "Wumen Biaoyin". During the Jinjia period, the monks in the temple dispersed and Qifeng Hall was destroyed by wild smoke and weeds. It was later occupied by the Hao family and used as a market. During the Wanli period, the county magistrate Jiang Yingke visited his hometown in person to rebuild the halls and gardens. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was abandoned as a residential building. It was rebuilt again in the fifth year of Shunzhi (1648), and it was better than the old one. In the 42nd year of Kangxi (1703), Ye Xuan visited the temple gardens.
Gu "Suzhou Historical Notes" says: During the Kangxi period, Shuotang's father bought it as a garden. (Huang Fu is Huang Xingzu, the prefect of Hengzhou. There are five folded pine trees in the garden, also known as Wusong Garden. The separation of the temple begins here. "Twelve Scenes of the Lion Forest" says that in the 27th year of Qianlong's southern tour, During his visit to Wu, he opened vines and built walls. Emperor Dilong visited the house several times, took out the Ni paintings and admired them, and wrote a poem saying: There are peaks in the paintings, and there are bends in the dust. After returning to Beijing, he based on Ni Tu's paintings. The calligraphy imitates the structures in the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Resort, and is titled "Sixteen Scenes of the Lion Grove" respectively. According to the "Qing Jia Lu" recorded in the 36th year of Qianlong's reign, the front hall and the back garden were separated by a wall, and the garden area was approximately the same as today. The area of ????the mountain pool in the middle of the garden is close to the boundary wall in the west. By the middle of Qianlong's reign, Ren Yuan's "Wang Ji Cong Tan" and "Southern Inspection Ceremony Picture" had been praised by scribes. After the hall, there is a small square hall. On the flower bed in the north courtyard, there is a huge lake peak, which seems to be composed of nine lions with different postures.
The patterns on the windows in the north courtyard are Qin, Qi, and calligraphy and painting on the north bank of the pool. In the pavilion, a plaque with the theme of "True Interest" hangs high. It is the same place for lotus viewing as the Lotus Hall. The rocks piled up in the rockery near the Anxiang Shuying Tower in Shifangbei are also called Shangxuan. There are several plum blossoms. The windows, floors, tables, and stools are all in the shape of plum blossoms. The artificial waterfall is made of stones beside the eaves of the pavilion, and the waterfall pavilion is next to it.
The waterfall has three levels. There is a bamboo pavilion in the north of the pavilion, and there is a yellow stone rockery and a small red cliff between the pavilions, which looks like a natural stone wall cave. Yuyanyutang courtyard, Fanting, ancient Wusong garden, etc. are all unique. Tickets: 30 yuan in peak season (April 16-October 30); 20 yuan in off-season (10.31-4.15).
