history

It was built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1522-1566). After several repairs, it is a courtyard with Jiangnan style.

In the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong studied here and gave banquets to his ministers. Emperor Jiaqing once wrote a poem of seven rhythms in xuannei, four of which said: "the empty eaves and flowing water rest in the dust, the quiet feeling is clear, the wonderful understanding is deep; the mountain birds sing and the flowers fall, the cycle has no already seen the heart of heaven."

Jianxinzhai is a circular courtyard building with unique shape and quiet environment. It has the characteristics of Jiangnan garden and is a famous garden in Xiangshan. There is a semicircle pool in the hospital. The water in the pool is clear and the fish can be counted. Along the East, South and north sides of the pool, there are semicircular corridors connecting the three waterside pavilions in the front - jianxinzhai.

Jianxinzhai in Xiangshan, Beijing, was built in the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty (1522) and rebuilt in the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty (1796).

position

On the east slope of bieyuan, the terrain is high in the West and low in the East. Outside the garden, there are mountain streams on the southeast and north sides, and the garden walls bend naturally with the trend of mountains and streams. The overall layout of the garden conforms to the terrain and is divided into East and west parts. In the eastern part, the water surface is the center, and the waterscape enclosed by buildings is the main body. In the western part, the higher terrain is, and the courtyard and mountain scenery with buildings and rocks is the main body. One mountain and one water form a contrast, and most of the buildings face east in the West.

The eastern part of the water surface is oval, and the other in the northwest corner of the extension of the ruler shaped nozzle, just like the source of endless drainage. The corridor with the wall surrounds the pool, and the pink wall leaks the window, which is full of the sentiment of Jiangnan Water court. In the main hall, Xinzhai sits facing east and West, with three wide rooms and a corridor around it. Its northwest side is connected with a building by a meander shaped corridor, facing south from the north, which is the transportation hub for climbing the western half of the mountain. A pavilion is built on the East Bank of the pool, opposite to jianxinzhai, but slightly to the north, so as to enjoy the panoramic view of the West Bank. The gate of the garden is located on the north and south sides of the pool. The north gate is the main gate of the garden. Facing the entrance is a small courtyard decorated with flowers, trees, mountains and stones. After passing through the three Bay Waterfront hall, you can see the water scenery. From the corridor to the East, you can detour to the main hall in the West. To the west, follow the arc climbing corridor to the upper floor of the building. After that, you can enter the west half.

The west half is a district with concentrated buildings. A group of unsymmetrical Sanheyuan is in the middle, and the main hall "Zhengning hall" is five rooms wide. It forms an east-west central axis with jianxinzhai in the East and fangting in the West. The north wing is the upper floor of the building as the traffic hub between the East and the West. On the north side of the courtyard is a two-story Changfeng building with three small courtyards facing the mountain. It is not only the commanding point of the whole garden architecture, but also the scenic spot overlooking the garden and borrowing scenery outside the garden. The small mountain courtyards on the South and west sides are respectively centered on a Square Pavilion, dotted with a small amount of rocks and planted with large trees. Follow the path down the south wall, pass through a group of rock rockery under the south wing room, and then reach the South Gate of the garden.

Documentation

The 19th volume of Zhu Xi's Zhu Zi Yu Lei in the Song Dynasty says: "when a sage speaks, he will not say half of it, but hide half of it." The idiom "open to the heart" comes from this, which means that speaking is straightforward and there is no hidden melody.

The building covers an area of six mu. The pavilions, platforms, corridors and pavilions are exquisitely arranged, with Jiangnan garden style. There are teahouses and Koi in the pool.

It's just that the courtyard is not on the main road of Xiangshan mountain climbing, and ordinary tourists seldom come here. When you go to Xiangshan, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of red leaves in autumn and climb the main peak of Xianglu on weekdays. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of people in Xiangshan. It's just a half day's journey for long-distance guests. They come and go in a hurry, and it's hard to take care of them or find them at all. The bustling and crowded landscape is certainly lively; it seems that it is easier to get the true meaning of the place where people rarely visit.
