Changzhou hotel in changchangsheng lane is the most classical garden architecture with the style of early Qing Dynasty and late Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan area.

Near the park is 80 meters long and 64 meters wide, although it is only a few acres of area, but then the idea is ingenious, and the painting is beautiful, the mountain path is delicate and touching. It is more like the small bonsai that is liked, and it highlights the essence of the gardens in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The landscape, flowers and trees, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions in Changzhou garden are exquisite and elegant, which embodies the artistic conception of "light words have taste". Then look at the landscape of the garden, the pattern is not vulgar, simple and generous. Most of the pavilions, pavilions and other buildings near the garden are surrounded by mountains and water, and they are well arranged. They pay great attention to the appropriate proportion. In the north, the "xiyecaotang" is built near the water, where the host entertains guests. In the southwest, there are "Tianxiang Pavilion", "Anle nest" and "Deyue Pavilion" in linchi water. Further north is the "Autumn Water Pavilion". All the way down, it is "empty boat", "let the knee live" and the path back. It is quiet and natural. It is extremely negative to the artistic conception of "far mountains and near water make it interesting". The wall of the eastern corridor is embedded with 30 pieces of famous calligraphy stones. Jinyuan has been designated as a provincial cultural relics protection unit.

In May 2013, it was approved by the State Council and announced as a national key cultural relics protection unit.

history

Yun Jue, the former Minister of the Ming Dynasty, was called "Dongyuan". In 1672, Yang Zhaolu (a Jinshi in the ninth year of Shunzhi, Li Guan went to Yanping Road, Fujian Province to serve as the Deputy envoy) from Li, who had been in business for five years.

Yang once invited famous painters Yun Nantian, Wang shigu, Da Chongguang and so on to gather in the garden. Yang wrote "the story of the near garden", Wang wrote "the picture of the near garden", Yun Shushi and Da wrote postscripts. Now the inscription and the postscript are still in the garden. At the beginning of Tongzhi, the garden changed its owner, and at the beginning of Guangxu, it returned to Yun family. It was renamed "Fuyuan" and "Jingyuan", commonly known as Yun family garden.

There are "xiyecaotang", "Jianyi Pavilion", "Tianxiang Pavilion", "Anle nest", "deyuexuan", "Qiushuang Pavilion", "Xuzhou", "rongxiju", "Sanwu Pavilion" and "Chulun cave" and other scenic spots. On the east side of the corridor wall, there are 30 pieces of Ming and Qing celebrities' calligraphy stones. There are rockery, pool water, flowers and trees, pavilions and stone bridges in the garden, which has the characteristics of Jiangnan classical garden. It is a cultural relic protection unit at the provincial level.

The rise and fall of Jinyuan

Yang Zhaolu, a Jinshi in the reign of emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, was an official in Jiangxi Province for many years. At last, he was unable to resist the wind and rain, and returned home due to illness in the sixth year of Kangxi (1667).

There are 67 mu of waste land behind the Sutra annotation Hall of Longcheng Academy. Yang Zhaolu, who returned home, took a fancy to this precious land, so he bought the waste land, built gardens and houses, dug pools and piled mountains. After five years, it has been "close to the garden", so the owner called it "near the garden".

People in Changzhou have never been extravagant in gardening. In private gardens, there are six or seven mu of land and dozens of rooms, which is not the concept of "close to the garden", but the victory of having a garden, which is rare for ordinary people. The master dug a pool in the garden, surrounded by pavilions, platforms, buildings and pavilions. In the north of the pool, there is a "west wild grass hall", which faces south with exotic grass and trees. It has become an important place for the master to meet and send.

From the art of gardening, we can see the artistic conception of the owner after his retirement: the center of the garden is the highest part of the whole garden, surrounded by water, piled rockery, built a pavilion, named "Jian Yi Ting"; on the left, there is a storey "Tianxiang Pavilion", on the right, there is a study "Anle Wo"; linchi

There is "deyuexuan" and "qiushuiting" in the west of the garden. Winding around the corridor, you can enter "rongxiju" by crossing the "Xuzhou"; you can reach "Sanwu Pavilion" by crossing the small bridge, and there is "Chulun cave" under the pavilion. There is a chrysanthemum garden in the southwest. In front of the garden, there is a "four pines Pavilion". On the left of the pavilion, there is a "Yuyu Pavilion". Hundreds of trees are planted in the garden Such a close garden gives people the feeling of mountain forest in the city and Orchid Pavilion in Kuaiji.

On the one hand, Yang Zhaolu built the garden for a leisurely life after returning home, on the other hand, he built it for his own feelings. After the completion of the garden, Yang Zhaolu invited Wang shigu, Yun Nantian, Da Chongguang and other famous calligraphers and painters to gather in the garden to paint and write poems. Yang Zhaolu wrote the story of near garden, Wang shigu wrote the picture of near garden, and Da Chongguang wrote the postscript. In the early Qing Dynasty, the painting and calligraphy giants met in Changjun, which was a grand event, and once became a good story for the people of Changzhou.

When things are prosperous, they will decline. At the beginning of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the garden had been owned by the gentry Liu Yunqiao. In 1885, Yun Yanqi bought it from the Liu family for 60000 taels of silver. After Yun's repair, it was renamed "Jingyuan", which was also called "Yun's garden" at that time.
