Lizong

Li Zezheng is the second generation owner of Tuisi Garden. A 19-year-old school was founded.
In the early days of Lai’s female studies, she used the light of the retreat garden, the piano room, the dry boat, and the osmanthus hall in the retreat garden as classrooms, and then built a teaching building on the side of the receding garden, which is now the seat of the Lizen Girls School. He once hired famous teachers, including Qian Jibo, the father of Qian Zhongshu, to teach at the school.
Stepping on the blue stone steps and passing through the trail outside the northern wall of the Tuisi Garden, the years of the Qingshui River and the six-posted eight-character campus have not changed.

One hundred years ago, the style of the Jiangnan generation was quite the same. The evening sun shone on the tiled brick walls and was slightly mottled. In the half-covered wooden door, a beach was covered with water stains and half-width cornices. It seemed to be down to learning time in the afternoon of the Republic of China.

Looking out of the courtyard, I changed my feelings of the times.

The entrance is a small yard and it looks like a building in the Qing Dynasty.

There is a rocking chair in the corner, with a wooden bench in the middle, aimlessly, like the leisure place where the inn sets.

There is a red brick wall on the right hand side, and the walls are the places of activity for the celebrities of the Republic of China. After the original "weaken door"

The middle three-storey building of the Republic of China is the teaching building of the women’s school that year.

The building is the top of the Xieshan, built with clear water brick ramps, the roof is covered with small green tiles, and there is a cornice in the outskirts. The grey seams are lined with plaster, the windows and doors are decorated with patterns, and the arched doorway corridor is built on the ground floor. The north side of the second floor has The balcony of the commander, white gypsum guardrail, the room is full of light, bright and spacious.
The afterglow of the sun, under the shade of green trees, gives people a feeling of straightness and beauty.

Under the promenade where the arched gates were intertwined, the sound of reading students was no longer heard.

The mottled fence on the west side of the yard, the rain stains on the white ash, the turbulent days, and the green lawn are full of vitality.

The two-story building on the north side of the school building is the guest room of Huajiantang.

Flower beds, lawns, square buildings, like a school dormitory.

The school building of childhood primary school is such a two-story building with a staircase in the middle, but it is not so beautiful and refined.
Always prefer the clear and soft shades of the walls.

Tongli Huajiantang is composed of two parts, Gufeng Garden and Li Zezheng. The other side is the Old Wind Garden.
Archaic park atrium pond, accompanied by a hundred years of wisteria.

"A lot of bread trees" is the inn's breakfast, but also the bakery.

Next to Huajiantang is Wanfu Thatched Cottage, which is also quite elegant.

Retreat

In the ancient town of Tongli, but the reputation of the receding garden is even larger than that of the same place. Many tourists come to the same place, and they come for the receding garden.
After breakfast, it was already a packed tour of 9:00 when the group entered and returned to Siyuan. It was full of people. Earlier, it really should have been earlier.
New York City in the United States in the city of Stanton Island Botanical Garden, based on the retreat garden, built an area of ​​3,850 square feet of Jiangnan Garden, named "Retreat."

Hui Si Yuan is a private garden built by Ren Lansheng after returning to his hometown. The name of the garden takes the meaning of “trying to be loyal and retreating, thinking about retreat” in Zuo Zhuan.
The layout is small and exquisite, not rich. Building gardens in poetic style, pursuing the garden's charm and poetry, various architectural layouts strive for exquisiteness and exquisiteness, and taste light and simple.
With horizontal architecture, the style is unique. In the past, the garden was a vertical structure, and it was transformed into a horizontal building. It consists of four groups of buildings of different styles. From west to east, it divides the hall, the house, the atrium, and the garden; the pavilions and terraces are complete, and the classical gardens are set. The essence.
The entrance door is the west side of the garden, the sedan hall, the tea hall/flower hall, the main hall, and the main hall of the famous hall.
The outer house is mainly used for meeting guests, wedding events, and ancestor worship. The inner house is built with two buildings at the fifth floor and the fifth floor of the north and the south. It is called "Muxiang Building," and the room is a double gallery. There are ladders under the gallery, which cover the storm and separate the master and the servant. The interior and exterior houses can be separated and the layout is compact.
It seems that the wall must have been pressed to appear calm.

Leaking windows, rain marks, green leaks, and precipitation.

The atrium is the end of the house and it is also the transition of the house to the garden. The courtyard is dominated by the “September Moonrise House”. The east part of the building extends to the garden part, and an irregular pentagonal pavilion is called “Landscape Court”.

Take the Spring Moon House for the book building, six second floor.

Private parks change into parks, some of which are unbearable.
In front of the building, there is a dry boat and the bow is heading eastwards, heading straight to the “moon smoke lock key” moon tunnel door, like a boat to be sailed, and guiding visitors to the eastern garden. In front of the courtyard, it was planted with citrons and magnolias.

On the south side, it is the "old year cold house" and "welcome building". At the end of the year, the cold house is back with a small building and cloud smoke lock key Yuedongmen, attracting visitors from the East Park to enjoy the scenery. The word “backwards and small building” is titled by the Tongli painter Xu Muru. Although the word “cloud smoke lock key” on the moon cave door has been See the ambiguity, but there is a beautiful world in the Moon Cave.

The whole garden in the east of Tuisi Garden takes in Jiangyan. “Niannuo Jiao”: When Naihongyi is remembered, he tastes and conquers. Thirty-six people did not arrive and there were countless waters. Cui Ye blows cold, Yu Rong pin wine, more sprinkled calamus rain. Suddenly shaking, cold incense flies to the verse. The sundial, Qing Gai Ting Ting, and the lover were not seen, and they were contending for Ling Bo. They only feared that the dance was cold and easy to fall and they entered the West Wind in Nanpu. Gao Liu hangs yin, the old fish blows waves and stays with me. How much Tian Tian, ​​several back to the sand return. ”

Outside the entrance of the cave, a pavilion stands near the water and is called “water scent”, which is specially designed for visitors to watch fish and lotus in the pond.
The water fragrant soup means "cold fragrant fly on", north is the cloister, the wall is embedded with the Qing Dynasty calligraphy painter Nannan Tian stone; northwest corner has a vase door, enter the door left turn "Lansheng Club", there are stairs upstairs.

The Range Rover Court is an irregular pentagonal pavilion that communicates with the Lunar House. The design of this building is based on local conditions.

Looking around, the garden is green everywhere, overlooking the entire garden from a height, the pavilions vary in size, high and low, with perfect harmony.

Eastward, into the four rooms, that is, to the center of the park, called "think back to the cottage."

"Think back to the cottage" is the main building of the garden, the cottage is simple and elegant, not for gorgeous, whether it is decorated doors and windows, or furnishings, this idea is reflected everywhere. The retreat of the Caotang Church took place in the North Dynasty, and there was a gap between the pool and the cold rain, the flyover, the Xintai and the Naohong. Connected to thatched cottage is the nine-story cloister built around the water pool. The gallery is winding and undulating, and the windows on the wall show the words “The moon does not have to buy a poem”.

There is a piano room in the east, a pedestal in front of the window, a melodious sound of the piano, birds flying over the water, a willow blossom, and unlimited poetic paintings. There are three stone bridges next to it, and a wisteria shed is on the bridge.

There are rockery bridges across the bridge, winding up and down the caves, into the "sleep cloud Pavilion," Pavilion high building.

From the pavilion down the hill, there is a Hsuan-Hsuan turn on the left hand side.

“Cool rain is cool” is a waterfront Xiaoxuan, located southeast of the pool. Xuan surface water opens four long windows. Xuan Nian screen is centered on a large mirror. A mirror is placed in front of the mirror. It lies on the couch in summer. The mirror behind reflects a Lotus in the pool, as if in a lotus grove. in. Extending the garden space with mirrors is a common technique in Suzhou gardens, and the clever use of this area is truly unique.

This mirror was sent back from Germany when he was sent to Germany in 1907 to inspect women's education. After one hundred years, this mirror is still clear.

Days of light and shadows together.

Open a window and hide a vivid story behind each window.

The history can be affected by history, and old things can be heard between them.

Looking from the rear window of Xuan Ning is the Osmanthus Hall, the front window is Xia Yuhe, and the rear window is Jinfeng Yulu.

From Xuan Yu Sheng Liang Xuan through the fake caves, hovering along the stone level, it came to be called a Jiangnan garden a bridge, seeing the eyes suddenly.

Out of Hsiao Hsuan, he climbed up the rockery and climbed up. There was “Xintai” on the opposite side. There was a flyover in the middle and the walk on the bridge was clear and bright.

Tianqiao, on the bridge, under the gallery, like the A House Palace re-route. Turned out of the world, flying over the mountains, connecting the rainy weather Liang Xuan, and Xintai as one. The front and rear bridges run through the area and come from all sides. The courtyard is surrounded by clumps of clusters, lined with blue sky and white clouds, and whitewashed walls and tiles.

Southward from the porch is a "red alarm." In the garden of thoughts, the most vivid and dynamic view of the park is made by the stone gongs, the wind does not move, the waves do not shake, and the people stand on the bow, but there is a feeling of boating in the lake.

The bow of the "Naked Red Dragonfly" form is in the form of hanging mountains, and the roof top is slightly lower; the red head of the ship swims, highlighting the interest of "red noise."

舸 舸 湖 湖 湖 湖 湖 湖 湖 , , , , , , , , , , , , , 半 半 半 半 半. On the side of the water surface, the cloud reflections float. If the boat has sailed, don't have fun.

Around the stone walls, lotus plants and iris trees were planted. The breeze slowly shook and the green cloud shook. The fish in the middle of the Hechi Lake are likely to pass through humanity. When they clap their hands a little, they will go in groups and go in excitement.

Passing through the promenade, it is the place where the owner delivers the guests, the jade terrace and the osmanthus hall, and the meaning of “Jin Feng Yu Lu”.

The Osmanthus Hall on the south side is where the "Autumn Scenery" lies. Through the door of “Golden Wind and Jade Dew”, the lake rockery came into view. The heights were scattered, exquisitely carved, and the small and medium-sized saw the big and the Five Sacred Mountains shrank.
In the corner of the courtyard, a few clusters of green bamboo set off a few lakes and stones, stepping on the rocks and there is a small gap between the carnations that only one person can sit on. When I walked in and stood for a while, the visitors in the garden went away, surrounded by bamboo, as if in a forest.

Looking back at the two words “retaining people” at the entrance to the garden gate, is it the scene that wants to retain people, or does the person want to keep people?

In the small courtyard near the door, in addition to the osmanthus trees, a lot of maple trees were also planted. The exquisite and small pentagonal leaves were blooming with red layers such as clouds.

“Although some people made it, Wan Zi Tiankai”, Yuan Dong-li, the designer of Tuisiyuan, had experience in designing Suzhou Yiyuan. He used the characteristics of Tongli River around the river to build water, and the construction of the park was more than ideal. The construction of buildings such as floating water, reflections in water, and reflections from above and below constitute a thick picture of landscapes.
The Spring Scene “Sat Spring Moon”, Xia Jing’s “Cool Rain and Cool Life”, autumn scenery “Heavenly Autumn and Autumn” and Winter Scene “Three Cold Friends”. Before the “Spring Moon House” ride, there are spring flowers and quacks. “Yiyu’s cool,” Hsiao Hsin-nai is cold, and there are four sides of the wind. “The Osmanthus Hall” is a tea ceremony. "The Inner Furnace, with Shochiku Aromatic Snow.
In the "Piano Room", the incense is put on the piano, and the "Sleep Cloud Pavilion" is played by the stone. The "Xintai" corner is written in the window, and the "Lan Sheng Pavilion" is painted on the banister. The pavilion is in fact contrasted with the actual situation.

Former Residence of Wang Shaoyu

Tongli Ancient Town, Suzhou City, Fu Guan Street, built in the Qing Emperor Kangxi for fifty years (1711). Occupying an area of ​​10 mu, the houses in the hall are arranged in an orderly manner, and the inner house is full of twists and turns. There are three eastern, western and middle schools to accompany the entrance and exit, which is typical of the ancient houses in the south of the Yangtze River.

The typical Jiangnan residential buildings are constructed with brick and wood roof tiles and cornices.

The most attractive place in this house is the patio, which is made up of the entrance hall and the inside hall and the hall.

Standing on the second floor of the building, through the glass windows, the tourists in the gallery's four corridors form many different pictures of life.

Looking at the patio from such a window can always remind me of childhood.

Pearl Tower

The Pearl Tower attraction, also known as the Gushu Yufang, was the former residence of Chen Wangdao, the superintendent of Nanjing monitoring the imperial court during the Ming Dynasty. The scenic spots are composed of the four major architectural groups of Crest of the Crest, Chenjiahou Garden, Chenjiapai Building and Zongkang. On the basis of the existing historical sites, Jiangnan’s skilled craftsmen are invited to collect the architectural quality of each place and restore it according to the original appearance. . The back garden here is the core area of ​​the Pearl Tower.
The Pearl Tower is a prototype of Chen’s old house in the “Pearl Tower” of the Xi Opera. The Pearl Tower is actually not a tower. It is the name of the tin opera house and is actually the location of the Cishi Garden.

Hours apart from “Double Grinding”, the most heard tin operas were Wang Binbin and Mei Lanzhen’s “Pearl Tower”. “If Fang Qing, if you can put the official, my head should be incense.” The
famous traditional Si drama “Pearl Tower” Originated from this story. Mainly written is the love story between Fang Qing and Chen Cuiyi.
Story Abstract: Henan Fang family officials from generation to generation. As a result of participation, the door was copied and flowed. Fang Qing traveled to Fuyang for a thousand miles and asked for help from her aunt. Unexpectedly, the aunt and the snobbery saw Fang Qing’s despondency and sarcasm. If he can get a high-ranking official, he hopes that the top of the dish will be covered with a fragrant dish. Fang Qing left with anger. The celebrity, Cui Yu, was virtuous and kind, giving up the dim sum and giving the Pearl Tower a dark gift to the party. Aunt Chen Peide was profoundly impressed and drove the horse to Jiusong Pavilion. On Huangzhou Road, Fang Qing was robbed and Zhu Ta was robbed. Chen Cuixi knew that Fang Qing was in danger, and he could not afford to suffer. Chen Peide was in desperation and faked Fang Qing's letter to comfort his daughter. Three years later, Fang Qing won the Chinese championship, the official seal of the seven provinces to visit, disguised and changed to come back to Shenyang, singing and apologetics test aunt, hope it suddenly wake up. Unexpectedly, the aunt's nature was difficult to shift, and she finally fell in love with her. Fang Qing sighed with her aunt and sighed with a fragrant disk to show her later generations to sing and care for love. The

On the east side is Yushidi, which is the residential area of ​​Chen Yu’s historian.

Into the east of the instrument gate, the east from the south to the north a total of four, respectively, tea hall, Hong slightly Church, Lan Yun Tang, Tanglou.

Compared to the retreat of the master of the retreat garden, the elegance and elegance of the retired master make it more atmospheric and magnificent.

Magnolia Church is a quiet and independent courtyard. The Magnolia Church is spacious and spacious. The courtyard is small and exquisite. The tall south wall is like painting paper and paintings on the walls of rattan grass. There are flower beds under the wall, planting sky and bamboo groves, and several peaks of lakes and lakes, magnolia and osmanthus flowers, and pleasant colors and fragrances. Magnolia Hall was once known as the "Pen Flower Hall," and has the same name as "Pen Flower Hall" in the former residence of Wen Zhengming.

Through the hall building, from the north to the south, they are the kitchen, the smelling study building, and the Magnolia Hall
. Look from the second floor of the building to the yard.
The Tanglou is the place where the family members of the host family live, and it is the relatives who are not able to enter the house. The hall is downstairs, and the center is the living room for the owner and the couple.

To the opposite side of the river to enter the ancestral hall, the main hall in the center is the "Renfeng Dehuai" crossbow, and under it is "Fuhou" two characters. Ginkgo towering on both sides of the house.

“Smell of Reading Building” is the place where the host reads. Jin Gui, a small building in front of the building, is in the autumn. It is a place of reading and cultivation. Looking at the long windows and short windows of the building, the pattern of ice and plum blossoms symbolizes a decade.

Go north to the back garden.
Take the tributaries of the Grand Canal naturally into private gardens.

Follow the river to the ancient stage.
The old-style square stage has one door for each appearance and the end. The right side is generally used for playing. The name is the upper court door. Often there is the word “excelling general” on the door; the left side is generally the end, and the second is the lower end, often on the door. There is the word "in phase".
Incoming and outgoing will be the general manager, and entering the court may be the prime minister. Refers to both civil and military talents, also refers to civil and military positions are high. Tang Cui Wei's poem "The Riverside Old Man" reads: "The two Koreas will return to the phase of the reunification, and the fifth world will rely on the Zhu Zhudie." The
front and sides of the stage are open and the horizon is open. The ridge is a Xishan style, plastic fish Dragon's Back. Under the armpits, one bucket and three liters of brackets are arranged. Hanging in the middle of the balance, the shape of the system is "blue lace around the gold", entitled "Cheng Ping Yutai." Cheng Ping, that is peace in the world. Yutai, from the "Book of Changes," refers to using music to sing praises. Between the two flower basket pillars below the brackets, three-way painted panels and tripartite paintings are arranged. The contents of the painted board include five generations of the Han Xi Zai Banquet and the Yongle Palace's Eighty-One Immortal Figure. Painted hanging down, in the middle of the carving "double lions playing with beads" on both sides of the eagle carving "Peng wear peony."

Under the stage, it floats over the water and cleverly uses the echo of sound to resonate. The algae well in the center of the ceiling is beneficial to sound absorption and produces the effect of "reverberation of the sound". The cage-shaped algae wells spiral into a spiral shape. Its painted wood carving components combine into a pattern of "hundred birds toward the phoenix".

There are promenade on both sides of the stage for visitors to stop and watch the show. On the corridor, 18 stories of ancient dramas were set up. Contents include: Mulan Junjun, Wen Ji Gui Han, Everlasting Regrets, West Chamber Records, Luan Benyue, Cowherd and Weaver, Xi Shi Sha Sha and so on.
On both sides of the stage are "Zhongyin Zhai" and "Wen Yu Pavilion."
Zhiyin Zhai was named after the Zhongzi period, Yu Boya, and the story of the admirable stream.

Wen Weiting named Confucius to listen to music in March without knowing meaty allusions.

Opposite the stage, Ya Yun Xian Hall, as its name suggests, is certainly a place to listen to music.
Compared to the tourists who retired from a large number of tours, visitors here are individual visitors and there are fewer natural persons.

The bathroom sign on the door is really an eye-opener, and it is entirely possible to set up a sign beside it, but it is true. This may be true of life. Practical convenience sometimes dominates aesthetic art.

On the east side of the covered bridge, there is a two-story pavilion type building, which is Ru Gu Zhai.
Ru Gu Zhai, boarding the building is expected to be a panoramic view of the scenic area.

There was a pool of clear water and a bay before the Ru Gu Zhai. It flowed under the lock and bridge. When it was moonlit, it reflected a round of jade husks. The water-like moon-colored courtyard was full of picturesque scenery.

Flyover: Connected to the Cloud of Water over the Corridor Bridge

Next to this promenade is a variety of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. You can expect to see the sweet-scented osmanthus opening season. Sweet scented osmanthus will shroud here.

Floating green cicadas, parked between the blue waves, as if floating on the emerald green, so the name "floating crest." The back door has a quotation titled "Lingbo" and this is also the meaning.

At one end of the covered bridge is a drowning building called “The Cloud of Water Flows at Xuan”, taking the poem “Jiang Ting” of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu’s poem: “The flow of water does not compete, and the cloud is too late.”

Over the "water cloud in Xuan" around the lake is "Qingyuan Church."
Qingyuan Church is the center of the park. It faces the mountain and backs onto the bamboo dock. It is surrounded by windows on all sides and there are corridors. It is also called the four-room hall. It is the place where guests are invited to the banquet in the master park.

Look from the green autumn pavilion to see the emerald green, green eyes.

Green Autumn Pavilion has a water named "Jingmingxuan" in the north

"Jingming" comes from Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyanglou" in the sentence "to the spring and Jingming, placid, up and down the sky, a thousand ten thousand hectares" sentence.

Jing Ming Xuan, by rockery, facing the pool of water and Qingyuan Church across the water, sitting in the chanting, can hear the east side of the waterfalls, springs, considerable scenery on the opposite bank, Xiqing Hongying Shiqu Bridge reflected in the pool.
