Historical evolution

In the first year of Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1862), Heyuan was first built. The former site was shuanghuaiyuan garden in Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. The original name of He Yuan is Jixiao mountain manor. The name of He Yuan comes from Tao Yuanming's coming and going, which is "depending on the south window to be proud, climbing Donggao to be comfortable".

In the ninth year of Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty (1883), he Zhilian left his post as an official of huangde road of Han Dynasty in Hubei Province and the supervisor of Jianghan pass. He bought the former site of Wu's Stone Mountain House and later expanded it into a garden. It took 13 years to build Jixiao villa in Yangzhou.

In 1937, the Japanese invaded China and occupied the three eastern provinces, so that most of China was occupied. Some wounded soldiers were stationed in Heyuan.

In 1988, he yuan and Geyuan were awarded the title of the third batch of "national key cultural relics protection units" by the State Council.

In 1989, the pianshishanfang was renovated, and the "pianshishanfang" on the lintel was replaced by Shi Tao's ink.

In 2005, he yuan was called "the first garden in the late Qing Dynasty" by Luo Zhewen, President of the Chinese society of cultural relics and a leading landscape architect.
