Construction ideas

The idea of immortality came into being on weekends and prevailed in Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, many legends about immortals and the realm of immortals have been widely spread among the people. Among them, the fairy mountain in the East China Sea and the Kunlun Mountain are the most magical and widely spread, which become the origin of the two major myth systems in China.

It is said that there are five sacred mountains: Daiyu, Yuanqiao, fanghu, Yingzhou and Penglai. According to Lie Zi Tang Wen, "the mountain is 30000 Li high and low, the top is 9000 Li flat, and the middle phase of the mountain is 70000 li away. I think it's a neighbor.". The view on the stage is all gold and jade, and the animals on it are all pure chimera. Zhu Gan's tree nodes are thick and thick, and Hua Shi has its own taste, and the food is not old and does not die. All the people who live there are the seeds of immortals and saints. There are countless people who come and go with each other day and night. The roots of the five mountains have nothing to do with them, and they often travel up and down with the tide. In the end, the two mountains drifted away, leaving only fanghu (Abbot), Yingzhou and Penglai.

It is said that the fairy mountain in the East China Sea is located in the coastal area of Penglai County, Shandong Province. According to the book of Fengchan in historical records, "Ziwei, Xuan, Yan and Zhao sent people into the sea to seek Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou.". This three gods mountain, its spread in the Bohai Sea, not far from people. If the trouble comes, the wind will lead the boat away. There are many immortals and immortality medicines in the world. All the animals and birds are white, and the gold and silver are palaces. If you don't reach it, you will see it like a cloud. If you reach it, it will be under the water. When the wind blows away, it will never reach the clouds. The master of the world will not be reconciled. "

In order to get closer to the immortals, the emperors dug pools and built islands in the gardens to simulate the image of fairy mountains on the sea. In the Han Dynasty, Jianzhang palace, a royal garden with complete fairy mountains, appeared. Since then, "one pool and three mountains" has always been the main mode of royal garden, which has been followed until the Qing Dynasty. In order to seek the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, the emperor built a grand cultural landscape in his own imperial garden.

Commentary in movies

The design of this landscape comes from ancient myths. The white jade steps are built according to the water, and the magnificent palace is built by the water. Whenever the mist rises on the water, it is like a dream, just like a fairyland. Qianlong transplanted the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to Yuanmingyuan. In Qianlong's mind, no matter it is a fairyland or a human world, he should embrace all the beauty and miracles yes.

The origin of square pot

It used to be the ancestral temple of the sea god, which is the only one in China's gardens. It is an inner lake in the northeast of Fuhai. There is an openable suspension bridge between the large and small water surfaces. When the bridge is opened, the large dragon boat can enter the inner lake from Fuhai to Yingxun Pavilion. The main building is a hall with symmetrical layout and three groups of front and back. It is covered with yellow glazed tiles and reflected on the water surface, just like the Qionglou Yuyu in Xianshan. It is extremely spectacular. Especially when visitors look at the Pengdao Yaotai in Fuhai center through the bridge, they will have the feeling of roaming in the fairyland.

Current situation of cultural relics

In October 1860, the whole square pot scenic spot group was looted by the British and French allied forces and burned. At the beginning of the burning, a considerable number of building components, most of which were made of stone, remained on the site. Although the war in 1900, the theft of warlords during the period of the Republic of China, and the demolition and excavation of local people, there are still a large number of stone components left here. In 1985, after excavation and cleaning, a large number of building debris were unearthed, including a number of building beams and columns. There are obvious traces of fire on them, which become the historical evidence of accusing the powers.
