Deng yuan is the former residence of Deng Baoshan, a famous patriotic general in China, and belongs to the provincial patriotic education base. In 1922, Han Yanglu, the adjutant of Zhang Guangjian, the governor of Gansu Province, purchased the xiannongtan of Qing Dynasty and built Yangyuan, which was commonly known as Han's adjutant garden at that time. There are rockery, pond, photo hall and Buddhist hall in the garden. The flowers and trees are luxuriant. The peony and peony planted in the garden are mostly treasures, which rely on the water truck to divert the Yellow River for irrigation. Mu Shouqi's couplets for Yangyuan describe the situation of Yangyuan at that time, which is surrounded by mountains and water, winding paths and fragrant flowers.

origin

In 1933, Mr. Deng Baoshan, director of Xi'an appeasement office in Gansu Province, purchased Yangyuan.

In 1941, Deng's wife Cui Jinqin and her children were killed in the bombing by Japanese planes and buried in the garden.

After the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was the office and residence of Deng Baoshan, governor of Gansu Province. In the early 1960s, Deng Baoshan said that he would dedicate his garden to the country. Deng Xiaoping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, and Wang Fengwan, first Secretary of the provincial Party committee, urged him to stay here. During the cultural revolution, ci'ai garden was confiscated. In 1978, the state returned the love garden to Deng Baoshan's children. In 1982, Deng Huilin, Deng Tuan: Zi, Deng Yinyin, Deng Chengcheng and Deng Wenwen, the children of Deng Baoshan, donated the love garden to the country. In 1985, it was renovated by the people's Government of Gansu Province.

Notes

Dengjia garden was originally the first agricultural altar in Lanzhou in Qing Dynasty. According to the "brief history of dengyuan", during the period of the northern warlords, the provincial government auctioned off the xiannongtan as idle public property due to local financial difficulties. In 1922, the xiannongtan was purchased by Han Yanglu, the adjutant of Zhang Guangjian, the governor of Gansu Province, and turned into a private garden, named "Yangyuan". After Deng Baoshan was appointed director of Xi'an appeasement office in Gansu Province in 1932, his wife Cui Jinqin bought the garden from Han's descendants the following year, planted more flowers and trees, renovated rockery and turned it into a villa.

During the Anti Japanese War, Deng Baoshan was ordered to lend the garden to the fourth air force headquarters of the Kuomintang free of charge.

On June 30, 1941, when Japanese planes bombed Lanzhou, Cui Jinqin took two sons (Yunwen and Yunwu) and one daughter (QIANZI) to take refuge in the beishagou air raid shelter on the Yellow River. The air raid shelter collapsed and all four people died. Deng Baoshan was too busy to attend the funeral. His relatives and friends were asked to bury Mrs. Cui under a rockery in the garden. Later, Yu Youren visited the garden and wrote "loving garden" in calligraphy and wrote a poem. A plaque was made and hung at the gate of the garden. The garden was renamed "loving garden". The plaque of "loving garden" is still hanging above the main gate. On the east side of the main gate is the calligraphy of Qigong - "Deng garden".

After the founding of the people's Republic of China, the Gansu provincial government slightly renovated the garden to serve as the residence and office of governor Deng Baoshan. Deng Chengcheng, the son of Deng Baoshan and member of the ninth and tenth Standing Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference, told reporters that since the 1960s, Deng Baoshan has dedicated his garden to the country three times. In 1982, Mr. Deng Baoshan's children donated the love garden to the country. In 1985, after the Gansu Provincial People's government invested in the renovation, it was changed into Deng garden, or Deng garden for short.

Deng Baoshan has received Deng Xiaoping, he long, Chen Yi, Mei Lanfang, Ye Shengtao and other party and state leaders and famous people in the park. Deng Xiaoping went to Deng yuan for the first time and sighed, "is this a hut! “
