Historical evolution

In recent years, the newly-built Guihu forest square (formerly unknown, commonly known as "new Guihu Lake" and renamed "Guihu forest square" after re planning) separated from the old Guihu Park of Shengan temple, covers an area of more than 200 mu. The layout of scenic spots echoes the style of the old Guihu Lake, with mixed water and land scenic spots. It not only has pavilions, pavilions and four corridors with ancient garden charm, but also is full of modern entertainment facilities Style, is a blend of Chinese and Western styles, lakes and mountains, shade cover, flowers fragrance of the new scene. It is the expansion and extension of Shengan Guihu, so it is a new antique garden with its own system. The overall design of Guihu Park highlights the two themes of "Gui" and "Hu". Its architectural layout and scenic spots are in harmony with the style of Shengan Guihu, and echo with the ancient city wall of Xindu and the city tower (Guihu gate, also known as the New South Gate), falling moon tower, Wenjin tower, Guanjiatai, etc. Guihu forest square is mainly based on the traditional style of Sichuan classical gardens, but it is not confined to one style. It absorbs the advantages of various gardens, and forms its own unique garden style by means of strong contrast between virtual and real and density.

Scale construction

During the construction of Guihu forest square, the original topography and features, including trees and bamboo forests, are transformed and utilized. It retains the one kilometer long Yinma River (Qingyuan River). The river course and its natural scenery transform a large area of low-temperature land into an industrial lake, and build the soil of digging the lake into hills to form a well arranged island and a beautiful and smooth lake shoreline. Guihu forest square covers an area of 208 mu, including 82 mu of water surface. The buildings on the lake absorb the essence of the architectural art in the city, the structure is ingenious, and the craft is exquisite. All the roofs of the buildings, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions are all glazed with green glazed tiles. The bridges of Pingqiao, arch bridges and curved bridges mostly use white marble or granite, showing the luxurious style of the palace gardens in the past. Xingui lake was opened to the outside world in 1988 and began to take shape in 1992. It is another pearl inlaid in Xindu, a famous historical and cultural city in Sichuan Province. It is also a scenic spot and famous tourist area with beautiful landscape and elegant architecture on Chengdu Plain.

The gate of Guihu Park, shishixiong Town, is magnificent. The plaque on the gate was written by general Zhang Aiping, the former Minister of national defense. The fifth deputy of the gate couplet was written by Chu Tunan, Yang chaoti, Zhou Xubai, Huang Zhiquan and Zhao Yunyu. Entering the gate, green grass, bamboo trees, flowers, cicadas and birds are full of vitality. After the elegant teahouse, stepping on the flat stone, we come to a group of buildings "QinChun garden" by the lake. The main building in the garden is a large-scale boat house, which is like the stone boat in the summer palace in Beijing. There is a plaque saying "xiaoyaoyou", which is written by master Puneng, a famous Buddhist monk in China. It is named after xiaoyaoyou written by Zhuangzi, a famous philosopher in the Warring States period. This boat house is like an ancient cruise ship. It has two floors for sightseeing.

Along the lake, the lake shore is circuitous, and the road is curved. On the left side of the road are streams, harbors and flower beds, while on the right side are mounds, woods and riverbanks. Yinma River meanders to the south, flowing water gurgling. It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, officers and soldiers of the Shu Han Dynasty often drank horses here. Although it is not well-known, the rumor of "drinking horses" has its basis from the nearby places of interest, such as the Bazhen map of MIMU, juntun town and the tomb of machao.

Scenery in the park

Guihu is a small and exquisite lake with willow house, Chengxin Pavilion, fragrant world, anti Autumn Pavilion, Lvyi Pavilion and forest of osmanthus trees. During the Mid Autumn Festival, lotus flowers fill the pond and osmanthus is fragrant. The annual osmanthus Festival is held here.

In addition, there are 105 ink stone tablets of great calligraphers since the Tang and Song dynasties in Zhongshan Hall. Yang Sheng'an, a native of Xindu, the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, once planted osmanthus trees along the dike in his garden, so he had Guihu, the new capital.

Influenced by it, the osmanthus in Xindu is popular. Around the mid autumn festival every year, the osmanthus is fragrant, and there is an endless stream of tourists visiting the lake, forming the annual osmanthus Festival.

Aiwu Tomb scenic spot

On the Bank of the Yinma River, in the green bamboo groves not far from the remains of shixueyan, is the newly built Tomb of Aiwu. AI Wu (1904-1992), formerly known as Tang daogeng, was born in Qingliu Town, Xindu District, and is a famous contemporary Chinese writer. The tomb of AI Wu is made of red sand boulders with a bronze statue of him standing on the top. His life is recorded in the inscriptions behind him, and the four words "Tomb of AI Wu" on the front of the tablet are written by Ba Jin, the contemporary literary leader. There is a square marble in the front of the tomb, on the top of which is engraved a motto of AI Wu: "people should be like a river, flowing, flowing, constantly forward; like a river, singing, singing, joyful, bravely walk on this rough and thorny road." The lower part is inlaid with a bunch of copper camellia. Motto, marble and Camellia embody the extraordinary life of this southbound writer and vagrant writer.

Tianxiangyuan scenic spot

More than 100 meters behind the tomb of AI Wu is the largest building group "Tianxiang garden" in Guihu forest square, which is based on the poetic sentiment of song Zhiwen, a poet of Tang Dynasty. The garden is located in the center of Guihu office, surrounded by green grass and decorated with white jade figures and animals. Its main building is about 30 meters high Pavilion, standing in the cloud, so it is named yunwailou. This building is located in the South and North, facing the lake. There is a stone platform with a height of 6 meters downstairs. For example, the base is decorated with white marble carved balustrade. The balustrade has a total length of 180 meters. There are 108 kinds of flowers carved on 108 balustrade boards. There are not only famous flowers for four seasons, but also flowers of fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers, luffa and balsam pear. On the red sandstone road in the middle of the 32 steps in front of the platform, there is a pattern of "nine dragons playing with pearls". Nine Dragons swim between the clouds and water, with high spirit and exquisite carving skills. Yunwailou is a square five storey building with spiral steps. Its plaque is hung under the eaves of the highest building. It was written by Mr. Qi Qie, President of China Calligrapher Association. Standing at the head of the building, you can have a panoramic view of the water and sky of Guihu Lake and the distant mountains of Xiangcheng.

There are two waterside pavilions in yunwailou, which are called Yinghui in the East and buyue in the West. On the left, right and back of the building, there is an ambulatory ring. The structure is ingenious and the wood carvings are exquisite. In the west of the building, there is an octagonal pavilion with double eaves and sharp roofs, called the South Pavilion. Nanting, the name of garden architecture in Tang Dynasty, is located in the south of Xindu city. Zhang Shuo, a poet of Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "seeing Guo Yuanzhen and Lu chongdao off from Xindu Nanting". According to a contemporary scholar's research on the poem "Zhujing nuluoqi, Lianzhou wenshidi", Guihu Lake was built on the basis of the South Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty, so the South Pavilion is named as huaishengji. There is a "floating light Pavilion" not far from the east of the building, which means "floating light shining gold" in Fan Zhongyan's Yueyang Tower in Song Dynasty. The plaque was written by Zhao Puchu, President of China Buddhist Association. The pavilion has three stories and is about 15 meters high. Buildings, pavilions and pavilions stand side by side, echoing each other, beautiful and harmonious.

Under the cloud outside the building, over the seven white jade bridge, through the children's playground, through the huge stone into the door, there is a road to Shengan Guihu. Along the westbound Guihu Park, there are lush Guihu forest on the right, winding stone city wall, green lawn on the left, Furong Island floating in the water and other small islands. On the surface of the lake, all kinds of pleasure boats sent out from the docks, crossing the bridge to beat the waves, are free to return. Visitors are enjoying themselves in the shade of trees, pavilions and harbors, when the cool wind blows. Recalling Mr. Sheng'an's poem "when the king comes to the Guihu Lake, the lake produces a breeze", it makes people feel more relaxed and happy. And then think of the past and today of Guihu Lake, and look forward to the future of Guihu Lake

ancient ruins

The past is more than a thousand years old, and it's hard to tell the story. On the Yinma River of Guihu forest square, there is a relic of an ancient weir 500 years ago. This weir is a irrigation and water conservancy project donated by Yang Tinghe, the father of Yang Shengan, the first associate of Ming Dynasty. Year after year, it diverts water to irrigate the fields for the benefit of Sangzi. The people of the rural areas do not forget their virtues, so it is called the Shiyan weir. The South Gate Bridge of the new capital, hundreds of meters downstream of shixueyan, is the Qingyuan bridge built by Yang Chun, Yang Sheng'an's grandfather, to facilitate urban-rural communication. It will be built in Guihu forest square as a new scenic spot on Yinma River.
