Introduction to history

In the Qin Dynasty, taking advantage of the natural characteristics of Qujiang area, where the rivers alternate with the rivers and the mountains are beautiful, the Qin Dynasty opened up the famous Imperial Forbidden Garden Yichun garden, making Qujiang an important part of the imperial Forbidden Garden Shanglin garden.

In 583 A.D., Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty officially moved to the new capital. Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty hated his music and thought it unlucky, so he proposed to change Qujiang into "Furong garden". After a transformation in the early Sui Dynasty, Qujiang reappeared on the stage of history as a royal garden, and got a new name -- Furong garden. At the same time, it is closely connected with the capital Daxing City, and the downstream of the pool flows into the city, which is one of the sources of water for each square in the southeast of the city.

In the era of emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, Huang Guan carved various water ornaments in Qujiang pool, and his ministers drank along the Qujiang pool. He introduced the story of literati's Qujiang drinking cup in Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties into the palace, endowed Qujiang with a kind of humanistic spirit, and laid a foundation for the formation and development of Qujiang culture in Tang Dynasty. On the basis of Furong garden in Sui Dynasty, the construction scale and cultural connotation of Qujiang garden were expanded in Tang Dynasty. In addition to the construction of ziyunlou, caixiating, liangtang and Penglai mountain in Furong garden, the Yellow canal of large-scale water conservancy project was excavated to expand the water surface of Furong pool and Qujiang pool. It became a place for royal families, monks and civilians to gather and visit. Qujiang Liuyin, Xingyuan Guanyan, the title of Yanta, Yueyou Denggao and other well-known literary stories in ancient Chinese history all took place here. The nature of Qujiang changed greatly in the Tang Dynasty, making it the only public garden in the capital Chang'an city.

"Jiangtou palace locks thousands of doors, for whom is Xiliu Xinpu green?" After Emperor Taizong's reign of Zhenguan, the later dynasties such as Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Ruizong began to make great progress in garden construction, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of Tang culture.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty expanded Qujiang on a large scale, which made it unprecedented and reached the peak of its garden construction. In Furong garden, the imperial Forbidden Garden, Xuanzong built Ziyun building, Caixia Pavilion, Linshui Pavilion, Shuidian, shanlou, Penglai mountain, liangtang and other buildings, and built Jiacheng (7960 meters long and 50 meters wide) from Daming Palace through Xingqing palace to Furong garden. After the expansion of Tang Xuanzong, the Furong Garden has continuous palaces, undulating pavilions, the garden buildings in Qujiang reach the highest level, and all kinds of cultural activities have reached the highest level It's coming to a climax. With the destruction of Chang'an City in the late Tang Dynasty, all kinds of garden buildings were destroyed, and all kinds of cultural activities were gradually silent.
