Wei Lu

Weilu (also known as Huilu) is now located on the west side of Huagang Park in Huagang fish watching scenic area. It is adjacent to peony garden in the south, Peacock Garden in the north and surrounded by green bamboo on three sides. It is a quiet and elegant courtyard. The original owner of Yimen Shangyu Yiting (Shanghai Xinzhong industrial factory, Huaming tobacco factory, Huacheng tobacco factory, etc.) was built in the 1940s. The original brick and wood structure has two floors, with more than 10 rooms, covering an area of 2000 square meters for business.

Historical Yearbook

It was built by Yimen (Yiting family of Shangyu) in 1940s.

After 1949, Weilu was uninhabited.

It was taken over by the government in the 1950s and used and managed by the garden department.

In the early 1960s, Weilu was turned into a Huagang restaurant.

Business was suspended during the cultural revolution in the 1970s.

After consulting with Jing Shuping in the 1980s, they were nationalized.

In the early 1990s, Huagang restaurant closed down, demolished Weilu's dangerous house, and built a "forest dance floor" on Weilu's original site

Weilu was rebuilt in the comprehensive protection project of West Lake in 2003

Landscape features

The main gate of Weilu rises up the stairs, and the strong plaque of Weilu reflects the couplet between the two pillars,

It said: "liaogang is surrounded by Lu, Su, Yang, Di, and six bridges. Fangyuan is connected with the boundary of Yao, Wei and Cong, and is divided into red areas." it points out the surrounding environment and the characteristics of the garden.

Presented in front of us is an irregular pool as the center of the "set landscape waterfront garden buildings.".

The garden is small, forming a cohesive pattern around the pool. The water state is abundant, reflecting a variety of architectural forms, including pavilions and pavilions, halls, corridors and pavilions, each of which is small and exquisite, and each of them is exquisite in a different way, achieving the landscape effect of changing the limited space into close, quiet and smooth.

Just as the introduction of the scenic spot board in front of the door says: "pavilions are scattered, stones are stacked, pools are chiseled, pines and cypresses are green, and flower shadows are shining in the eye", there are only 16 words but they are very vivid. Linshui Pavilion couplet: "Huize spring and autumn wonderful flowers often drunk world guests, Lu Lingang yuan Yixing every lingering water fish." The first part of the couplet contains the word Huilu, expressing feelings with scenery. The garden is connected to the cloister by waterside pavilions.

On the south side of the pool are two plaques of "Qingsi hall", "Qingsi hall" and "xunmengxuan", which are opposite to each other. Tang Lian said: "walk along the path to find the fragrance, walk around the three mountains and have a dream. When you are near the abyss, you will have fun and enjoy the leisure in the same harbor." Lianyu is not separated from the characteristics of Chi Gang, pointing out that from the hall building you can overlook the distant Santai mountain.

Xuanlian said: "in front of Luqian, the peacock Zhang Ping, the guest forgets the crane, and the fish in the pool under the pavilion are related to each other, but he knows the Hao fish." The two allusions of "He Jing he, Hao Shang Yu" skillfully used in Lianzhong are also a blend of feelings and scenes. Indeed, plaques and couplets play an indispensable role in Chinese gardens, just as people have men.

On the basis of piling stones in the west of the pool, a small square Pavilion is built on the platform, which is called "Jiexiu Xi". The allusion comes from Volume 2 of Ying Mei An Yi Yu written by Maoxiang of the Qing Dynasty: "Er Miao picks up the truth, drapes clouds to pick up the beauty, and makes people want to be immortal step by step."

There is a flower and wood sketch in front of the pavilion. It is in early spring. The pine is green and the plum is red. The reflection of the wave light is very beautiful. In the park, the rockery corridor is circuitous, the window is near the pool, the red fish is playing in the water, and the water is murmuring. Listening to the birds, smelling the fragrance of flowers and the pine, bamboo and plum trees in the scenery add a lot of interest to this small building complex.

Weilu is the garden in the garden, with water as the composition center, and the buildings around it are elegant and elegant. In the narrow space, it needs to give people a rich sense of space, so as to achieve the design effect of "seeing the big from the small".

The garden space of Weilu is small but not closed, and the view can be inward or outward. Suzhou gardens have the characteristics of courtyard art. Generally, they are located in the streets of the city, surrounded by walls, and often combine the poetic and picturesque virtual landscape with the house buildings.

Weilu is different from Suzhou garden. It is an organic part from Huagang park to West Lake, which has the characteristics of the earth art of Hangzhou West Lake. Chinese culture stresses the realm of harmony between man and nature, that is, the integration of human settlements and landscape plants.

The Weilu building complex is now divided into two parts. On the left side of the main entrance is the yunxiuju teahouse, and on the right side is the Hangzhou weaving Memorial Hall.
