Canglang Pavilion, located in Sanyuanfang in the south of Suzhou, is the oldest existing Jiangnan garden. Together with Lion Grove, Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden, Suzhou's four gardens in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties represent the artistic style of Song Dynasty. Canglang Pavilion covers an area of 1.08 hectares. There is a clear water in the park, and there are many scenic spots.
"Canglang Pavilion" began as a pool hall where Qian Yuanlin, the king of Guangling in Wu Yue State, had a close relationship with Sun Chengyou, the envoy of Wu Jun in the Five Dynasties. Su Shunqin, a famous poet in Song Dynasty, bought this abandoned garden for 40,000 yuan, built it, and built a pavilion by the water. Because the water in the rough waves is clear, you can lick my tassel; The turbid water in the rough waves can satisfy my feet. The book is called Canglang Pavilion, named Canglang Weng and called Canglang Pavilion. Ouyang Xiu was invited to write the long poem Canglang Pavilion. In the poem, "the cool breeze and bright moon are priceless, but it's a pity that they only sell for 40 thousand." Since then, "Canglang Pavilion" has become famous. After the Soviet Union came to power, Canglang Pavilion was abandoned several times. At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty (65438+the beginning of the 2nd century), it was once the residence of Han Shizhong, a famous anti-gold star. In the thirty-fifth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1696), Governor Luo Song rebuilt the garden and moved the waterfront pavilion to the top of the mountain, which formed the layout basis of today's Canglang Pavilion, and took Canglang Pavilion in Lishu, Wen Zhiming as a plaque. In the 12th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1873), it was rebuilt again and became what it is today. Although Canglang Pavilion has not looked like the early Song Dynasty due to the changes of past dynasties, its ancient wood and antique style have always maintained the old style, which partly reflects the style of the Song Dynasty gardens.
