He built this private garden in the ninth year of Guangxu (1883 AD). He Garden has the reputation of "the first garden in the late Qing Dynasty". The buildings in the garden combine Chinese and Western, and are connected by complex corridors. The layout is full of layers.

The whole garden consists of several parts: a back garden, a residential courtyard, and a rocky mountain house (a pile of artificial rocks, with only traces left, of a very small scale) located in the southeast. Each part is connected through a complex corridor (commonly known as "Chuanlou" by Yangzhou people, which is a corridor divided into two floors: upper and lower). This kind of cloister on the upper and lower floors is the biggest feature of the He Yuan building. People in the park walk through the garden through the cloister, shelter from rain on rainy days and shade from the sun on sunny days, and are not affected by the weather. The flowered window belt formed by a series of leaking windows and empty windows opened on the complex corridor is also a major feature of the park.

The back garden is divided into two parts: east and west in terms of layout. The main buildings include boat hall, water center pavilion, etc. In the east, a group of courtyards are formed with the "hall" as the center. The "boat hall" is the most exquisite. The hall is shaped like a boat. The floor is paved with pebbles and tiles. The pattern is water-like, giving people the feeling of living in the water. In the west of the garden, there is a pool in the middle. There is a water center pavilion built in the pool. It is the place for the owner of the park to watch the drama performances. The design of the "Water Theater Pavilion" is unique. The owners of the park, old and young, live in the Yuxiu Building in the south, which is a building that combines Chinese and Western styles.

Zhu Ziqing loves classical poetry and is very familiar with classical poetry.

"Back" is very plain in terms of writing, narration, and lyrical, but in its plain nature, it breeds extremely exquisite ideas. The full text is written three times. For the first time, the figure of climbing up and down the platform while buying oranges for his son deeply touched the author's heart and immediately gave "I" a special feeling. The second time, my father's back gradually became small among the people coming and going, like a movie picture slowly fading away. The lighter the scene, the stronger the feelings, the farther the people, the closer the heart. The third time, I learned from the letter that my father's plight was difficult. In the crystal tears, the "back of a clear cotton robe and a black coat" emerged again. He would become a father-son farewell picture that "I" will never forget. picture.
