Whose mansion is Shikuan Garden?
Shijie Garden, located at No.49 Hujiapaifang Street, Weicheng District, was built in the 11th year of Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty (1885). It is a residential garden building of Ding Shanbao, the richest man in wei county in the late Qing Dynasty. The former site of Shihuoyuan was originally the former residence of Hu Bangzuo, a doctor of punishments in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, and was once the residence of Chen Zhaoluan, the magistrate in Shunzhi period of Qing Dynasty, and Guo, the political envoy of Zhili in Xianfeng period. Later, it was acquired by Shiding Shanbao, and its abandoned hall was eliminated, leaving only the main building of its garden, "Xiang Yan Building", which was dug up and piled up, making it a garden. Its tower is the best of all the gardens in Wei County. After liberation, it was nationalized and was the seat of the former Weifang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. 1978, the municipal party committee and government moved, Weifang Museum moved, the park was completely renovated and opened to the public in the same year. 1988 was announced as a national key cultural relics protection unit. This garden is famous for its small size. "Ten paddy fields" is a small garden like ten paddy fields described by the garden owner, "because it is small, it is easy to be big". The whole yard is only 2000 square meters, but there are towers. There are more than 20 pavilions, rockeries, ponds, guest rooms, study rooms, cloisters and curved bridges, and more than 60 houses. Its layout is rigorous and its density is appropriate. It has not only the rugged, symmetrical and majestic architectural features in the north, but also the exquisite, secluded and changeable garden style in the south of the Yangtze River. Professor Chen Congzhou, a famous landscape expert in China, spoke highly of this garden: "Weifang Shishui Garden is very small, so it was named Shishui Garden, surrounded by a pool of clear water and a mountain corridor, which is very light and elegant. The small garden in the north can spare the winner of the rock, which is the most important thing. " In the main hall of the front yard, the "Shishui Caotang" was originally the host's reception place. 1925, Kang Youwei, the leader of the reformists, stayed in this hall and left a hymn: "The mountains are cold and pine, the snow is falling, and the pond is full of water." I will come to Mulberry for a few or three nights until there are more guests and guests. " Now this hall is still used to receive Chinese and foreign VIPs. There is a pond in the north, and there is a pavilion in the middle of the pond, named "Zhao Siting". There are stone tables and benches in the pavilion. In the pavilion, there is a plaque inscribed by Cao Hongxun, the champion of the late Qing Dynasty. There is a flower wall in the north of the pond, and the upper end of the diamond door in the middle of the flower wall is embedded with four Chinese characters inscribed by Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. There is a boat-shaped building in the northeast corner of the pond, which is called "as steady as a boat". Its unique shape, which has the potential to untie the cable and set sail, is particularly spectacular. To the north of the flower wall is a courtyard, in front of which there is an exquisite Taihu stone, which is ethereal and transparent and very chic. There is an antique building in the west of the courtyard, named "Spring Rain Building", with a round window and a square platform and three-story eaves, which is elegant in shape. The main building "Xiang Yan Building" is located in the north of World Wide Garden. Its building is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, majestic and tall. This is the only preserved Ming Dynasty building in the garden. When you climb the building, you can see the panorama of ten fields. From 65438 to 0979, this building was transformed into a room dedicated to the exhibition of works and artworks of Zheng Banqiao, a famous painter and poet in Qing Dynasty. Zheng Banqiao was the county magistrate of Wei County from the 11th to 18th year of Qianlong (1746- 1753). In the meantime, he not only made outstanding achievements, but also left many precious ink marks. The west horizontal courtyard of Shikuan Garden is "the garden in the garden". In the west of the garden, there is a "quiet mountain room" on the left and an "autumn sound hall" on the right. This place was originally a place for guests to stay, but it was transformed into an exhibition room for collecting cultural relics in 1979. In the north of the garden is "About My Cabin with Willow", which used to be a home school, but now it is a Buddha exhibition hall. There are large and small stone carvings around the backyard, a famous calligraphy plaque of "Tortoise and Snake" in Yuan Dynasty under the east eaves, and calligraphy plaques of famous painters and painters of Ming Dynasty such as Dong Qichang, Zhang Ruitu and Wen Zhiming under the west eaves. The southeast of Shikuan Garden is a rockery, and this mountain is half a mountain. Although it is artificially built, it is natural. There is a pavilion at the foot of the mountain, named "Yilan Pavilion", and there is a pool of fish swimming under the pavilion. There is a small pavilion at the top of the mountain, called Weixiuge, which contains stone carvings carved by Jinnong, one of the eight eccentrics in Yangzhou.
