Stone Mountain House

The stone mountain house, also known as shuanghuai garden, is famous for its lake stones. It is the only one in the world where Shi Tao, a great painter in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, piled stones. Shi Tao, formerly known as Zhu ruoji, was an outstanding painter in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. He spent his whole life whipping famous mountains and rivers and "searching for strange peaks and making drafts". In his later years, he lived in Yangzhou, leaving behind a stone mountain house, which is the only one in the world. There is a stone house hidden in the rockery, which can be a good place for summer heat dissipation. The rockery structure in the park has a unique style, which adopts the treatment method of lower house and upper peak. The main peak is stacked on two brick "stone houses". There are two roads leading to the stone house, the West Road across the stream, the East Road through the cave into the stone house. The mountains encircle the pool. The main peak is steep and vigorous. The matching peak is at the southwest turning point. Between the two peaks, there is a gap between them. It seems that the two peaks can not be continued. There is a momentum of galloping and jumping. It is quite the painting principle of "the mountain is ready to move and the potential is long". It also conforms to the layout principle of "the left is urgent, the right is slow, and do not have two wings". It shows the extraordinary bearing of Zhang Fa.

Stone Mountain House

Pianshishanfang is a classical garden building built in Ming Dynasty. In the south of He Yuan, it is close to a small garden. There are only remains of the stone mountain house, which is difficult for ordinary tourists to find. However, it is said that the rockery stone of pianshishanfang was created by monk Shi Tao, a great painter in Qing Dynasty, and now it can be regarded as the "only stone in the world". Experts believe that the beauty of the stone mountain houses lies in the fact that they have a single peak and a clear pool, which is worthy of the word "Qiqiao". Shibi, Shideng and Shanjian are the most wonderful. Now the culture of harmony between man and nature is located. In front of the rockery, there are three nanmu halls, which are said to be the oldest buildings in Yangzhou gardens.

brief introduction

Pianshishanfang is located in huayuanxiang, south of Yangzhou City, also known as shuanghuaiyuan, which is famous for its lake stones. It is said that the rockery in the park is stacked by Shi Tao, with a unique structure, which adopts the treatment method of lower house and upper peak. The main peak is stacked on two brick "stone houses". There are two roads leading to the stone house, the West Road across the stream, the East Road through the cave into the stone house. The mountains encircle the pool. The main peak is steep and vigorous. The matching peak is at the southwest turning point. Between the two peaks, there is a gap between them. It seems that the two peaks can not be continued. There is a momentum of galloping and jumping. It is quite the painting principle of "the mountain is ready to move and the potential is long". It also conforms to the layout principle of "the left is urgent, the right is slow, and do not have two wings". It shows the extraordinary bearing of Zhang Fa.

The pianshishanfang was rebuilt in 1989, and Shi Tao's ink was applied to the forehead of pianshishanfang on the lintel. The design of the garden is based on Shi Tao's paintings. It follows the principle of nature and is interesting in nature. It shows that in Shi Tao's poems, "the water is boundless, and there is no fish to think about.". Don't say that the world in the pool is small, and the table is comfortable. The artificial moon in the false hills and gullies in the garden is a spectacle, full of water and interesting. Pianshishanfang is the garden in the garden of He Yuan, also known as shuanghuaiyuan, so he yuan has the theory of big garden and small garden. It is said that he yuan is the "only one in the world" of monk Shi Tao. Shi Tao (1641-1718), surnamed Zhu, also known as Shi Tao, also known as bitter gourd monk, etc. He was the last grandson of the Ming Dynasty. Soon after he was born, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. In order to escape the persecution of the Qing rulers, he and his brother became monks under the arrangement of the Ming emperor's chamber palace. Entering the stone mountain house, there is a drop spring in the hall, forming the scene of "pouring rain and watching waterfall". The three waterside pavilions on the south bank are unique and far away from the main peak of the rockery. There is a half wall Library in the west room. Shi Tao once wrote a poem: "the white clouds are lost in the ancient cave, and the flowing water is weak.". Half a good library is a hidden immortal. "Zhongshiyong Baoquan is accompanied by a piano table. The sound of the piano is quiet and the spring is murmuring, giving people a beautiful enjoyment. In the east room, there is an ancient pagoda tree root chess table, and a bamboo and stone picture can be seen from the head, forming the architectural style of Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and forming the unique cultural and artistic characteristics.

The nanmu hall in the east of the garden in the garden is the oldest preserved building in the whole garden. It has a history of more than 400 years and is now reopened after decoration. Its structure is rigorous, elegant and dignified. On the west side of Nanmu hall, there is a "no boat", which is moored near the pool. Sitting on the boat overlooking the fish in the pool, it's like a pleasure boat coming back from the wild. On the wall of the east courtyard of Nanmu hall, there are four characters of "pianshi Shanfang" carved in brick, which are enlarged by copying Shi Tao's true works. Although it does not cover a large area, it seems to have hills and moats. In particular, the water treatment is just right. It penetrates into corridors, halls, pavilions, rockeries, Diquan, Yongbao and waterfalls. There is stillness in motion and movement in stillness.

The stone mountain house is a rockery made of Lake stones stacked close to the wall. The top of the hill is high and low. The main peak is in the West. There is a cold plum on the mountain, and a Podocarpus arvensis on the East. The trees are 100 years old. There are two stone cave houses at the foot of the mountain. Because the whole mountain is made of small stones, it is called stone mountain house. The technique of stone mosaic is very exquisite. There is a natural tendency in the mosaic, but no trace of chisel. Its momentum, shape, virtual and real treatment are very consistent with Shi Tao's painting. The name of the mountain house, the South Wood Hall of Xichun and the couplets of the connecting corridor around the boat are all engraved according to Shi Tao's poems.

The ancients said: "Yangzhou wins by famous gardens, and famous gardens win by folding stones." There are no mountains in Yangzhou. The method of folding stones on the flat ground is often used in gardens, but folding stones to increase mountains is very important. High skills must be used. There is a drop of spring in the entrance hall of the stone mountain house, forming a scene of "pouring rain and watching waterfall". The hall in front of the pool is the rebuilt Shuixie. The hall is separated by stone slabs. One side is a study room, the other side is a chess room, and the middle is a spring. It is equipped with a piano platform, which integrates piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the south of the pool, there are three water villages, facing the main peak of the rockery, high mountains and flowing water. This scene can reflect Shi Tao's poetic feeling: "the white clouds are lost in the ancient cave, the flowing water is in the heart of the eaves; the half wall is a good library, and you know you are a hidden immortal."

scenery

Due to years of waste, only the main peak of the rockery remains, and the remnant stone stands against the wall. Now it has been fully restored, making the beautiful scenery reappear. In the foyer, there is a dripping spring, and the scenery is called "pouring rain and watching waterfall". In front of the pool, there is a restored waterside pavilion, and the lintel and the fan are carved in detail. The hall is divided by stone slabs. One is a half wall library, and the other is a chess room. The chess table is made from the roots of the old Sophora tree, which is a relic of shuanghuai garden. In the middle, there is a spring, accompanied by a zither platform, which integrates zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. The waterside pavilion is in the south of the pool, far away from the main peak of the rockery, facing the cliffs, flowing clouds and vast waters. The view of waterside pavilion can reflect Shi Tao's Poetry: "white clouds are lost in the ancient cave, and the heart of flowing water is calm; the half wall of a good library is a hidden immortal.". The nanmu Hall of Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains of the garden is still in existence. It has been renovated and is deep and dignified. In the west wall of Nanmu hall, a "boat not tied" was built and berthed near the pool, like a boat not a boat, like a dock not a dock. On the wall of the east courtyard of Nanmu hall, the four characters of "pianshi Shanfang" are embedded in bricks, which are enlarged by copying Shi Tao's handwriting. The rockery, with the main peak in the West and the foil in the East, is exquisite and simple, and the schist is towering. The existing Hushi rockery basically keeps its original appearance. The mountain starts from the East, clings to the wall, and winds to the northwest corner. The main peak is abrupt, and there are two stone chambers under it, which are called "Stone Mountain houses". When you get out of the stone room and step on the road to help the top, you can see that there are many mountains and peaks, the road turns around, the shadow of the haze, the light of the waves, and the fleeting fish, which make you enjoy the forest and spring. In the east of the main peak, it is folded into Shuixiu caves and gullies, which complement each other with virtual villages and deep mountains. On top of the rockery, a new half Pavilion is built with Picea lanceolata, a famous gourd Pavilion, full of wild fun. The "artificial moon" in the rockery and gully can be regarded as a unique one. The light through the hole reflects into the water, just like the reflection of the bright moon. The water in the garden is full of interest and the pool is full of water. New inscriptions were added in the garden. Nine poems and essays were selected and placed on the wall of the west corridor. A huge mirror is embedded on the wall, and the whole landscape can be reflected from different angles. The stone mountain house covers a small area, but the hills are elegant and unique, giving people endless feeling in the limited world.

Looking for Zhu trace in the Stone Mountain House

In Yangzhou in March of fireworks, graceful green willows are set off on both sides of the Slender West Lake, which makes the figure of the Slender West Lake unique. Looking at the ingenuity of the bridge water, green Pavilion Pavilion, I feel relaxed and happy.

For many years, I have been paying attention to the layout of classical gardens and modern architecture in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, I was looking for a few historical sites left in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Standing on the roadside of the empty new city with tall buildings, I felt a little disconsolate. The kind-hearted taxi driver reminded me that I must go to see Heyuan and Geyuan in the suburbs. Before that, I knew that balsam pear monks from Badashan of Ming Dynasty settled in Yangzhou in their later years. When they came here, they wanted to see many relics of Yangzhou city. As soon as I settled in that night, I couldn't wait to get out of the city. But because there is no moonlight, the countryside gives me a vague feeling. In the evening wind, I seem to see the bitter gourd monk sighing in the distance.

The bitter gourd monk, formerly known as Shi Tao, was only three years old when the Ming Dynasty perished. He was the ninth grandson of the declining royal family. In 1650, when the Qing army conquered Guilin, he had to flee to Quanzhou at the age of nine. The young man witnessed the collapse of the country and the vicissitudes of life. He was in a sad mood. He pretended to be dumb and pretended to be stupid. He pasted a big dumb word on the door and didn't talk to people. As a result of long-term accumulation of worry and depression, he suffered from the disease of mania and was in a state of disorder. Therefore, after many hardships, he named himself Daoji, dadizi, or bitter gourd monk. But he didn't really enter the empty door. The only thing that made a homeless boy feel gratified was that he had a quiet place to live and could study painting and read books at ease. In his youth, Shi Tao visited famous mountains and rivers in China, and lived in Jingting mountain in Xuancheng area of Anhui Province for a period of time. During that time, he visited Huangshan and other famous mountains many times. Shi Tao was the best at landscape painting in his life, and advocated "collecting all the wonderful peaks to make a draft". His paintings can achieve "the integration of things and me". In his middle age, he traveled to Nanjing and Peiping, settled in Yangzhou in his later years, and died here all the time. He advocated that "pen and ink should follow the times" and "borrowing from the past"
