Guanyunfeng

Guanyunfeng in Liuyuan is a unique stone in Taihu Lake. It is a combination of the four wonders of Taihu Lake stone: thin, wrinkled, leaky and transparent. It is said that this stone is a relic of huashigang in the late Song Dynasty.

In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, although the war in the North was tight and the Jin army was under pressure, Huizong of the Song dynasty built "Yanfu Palace" and "Wanshou mountain" in Tokyo. He ordered the collection of rare flowers and stones across the country, boasting that he wanted to collect all the treasures in the palace. In the fourth year of Suining, Huizong set up Suzhou Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau in Suzhou to collect famous flowers and stones. Zhu Mian, the director of Yingfeng Bureau in Suzhou and Hangzhou, is good at flattering Shangfeng. Since he became the official, he had the power to purchase "huashigang", so he let go of his hands and tried his best to collect money from the people. As long as there is a stone and a tree in the people's family that he hears about and likes, he immediately sends troops to rob them. Anyone who dares to resist will be punished for "great disrespect" to the emperor. Sometimes, in order to remove trees and stones, or even demolish the walls and even houses of the houses, Zhu Mian found too many flowers and stones from the people at that time, which finally aroused the peasant uprising in fangla. At that time, a slogan of the fangla uprising army was to kill "Zhu mian", which echoed with the fangla uprising army. The peasant uprising led by Shisheng also broke out in Suzhou. Soon, the Northern Song Dynasty regime was finally destroyed by Jin because of the lack of treasury and people's livelihood, and Huizong himself was also a prisoner. Guanyunfeng is a relic of huashigang in the future.

history

Liuyuan was built by Xu Taishi in the Wanli period. It was originally named Dongyuan (Xu Taishi also converted the declining Guiyuan temple into a residential garden at that time, which was called Xiyuan, and Dongyuan was opposite to it). Guanyun peak was originally called Guanyin peak, which was a huge stone peak of Taihu Lake salvaged when dredging the river in the Ming Dynasty

Its reputation is inferior to that of ruiyunfeng. When Liu Shu used the former site of Dongyuan to build Hanbi villa, the peak was already outside the wall on the east side of the garden. Although Liu Shu admired and loved the peak, his inability to acquire land and expand the garden became his heart disease. In order to satisfy his desire to see guanyunfeng, sun MaoGong, Liu Shuzhi, was addicted to the stone. He built a small building beside the east wall of hanbizhuang and near guanyunfeng, so that he could face guanyunfeng day and night, and named it "Wangyun"

.

When Shengkang renovated Hanbi mountain villa and established Liuyuan, hundreds of families around Guanyun peak were turned into wild tobacco and weeds due to the war, but this peak is still unique. Shengkang bought the eastern part of the garden and these Taihu stones, and then found two huge peaks, Xiuyun peak in the West and Ruiyun peak in the East. Form a main two pairs, left and right symmetrical, prominent middle layout

Around the peak stones, pavilions and pavilions are built, which is called Dongyuan.

Sheng Xuanhuai, the son of Sheng Kang, once gave the names of the three Taihu stones to his three granddaughters as nicknames. Ruiyun died when he was young. Later, his servants told Sheng Xuanhuai that Ruiyun peak was made by splicing. When he was angry, he knocked off the stone peak, and the stone still exists. Guanyun (Sheng Yuqing, nicknamed Guanyun) was "very healthy because of his auspicious name" (Sheng Yuqing's self statement)
