History and culture

The town is a famous hometown of flowers and trees in China. It has a long history of flower planting, and zhouquan garden is even more famous. Li Yimeng, who was the director of Huaihai district at that time, once left a poem of "Hu's garden is beautiful, Huaihai's first". In the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Lian, a local Jinshi, built the garden here. It has a history of more than 500 years. In the Qing Dynasty, in the early years of Kangxi, the garden was transferred to Hu Jianjing, a later Jinshi of Hu Lian. Hu Jianjing served as an official in the Imperial Academy, a servant of the Ministry of official affairs, an official in charge of education and a teacher of Kangxi. Hu's garden was once again expanded in his hands, and many exotic flowers and plants were newly planted. It is said that when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to Hu's garden for a special visit. The potted landscapes of pine and cypress, such as "Crouching cattle watching the moon" and "Erlong playing with pearls", which were brought back from the Imperial Palace at that time, are still luxuriant and well grown. They are the treasure of Xinhe Town Garden, and also become a must see spot for tourists to Xinhe. In the garden, a boxwood stump, which had been shot eight times by Japanese invaders, still left traces of hatred. How many years of wind, frost, snow and rain, how many times of burning and felling, zhouquan garden has experienced the baptism of war, gone through the vicissitudes, but always full of vitality.
