The previous article said that among the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units are Geyuan and He Yuan in Yangzhou. After seeing Geyuan, you should also visit He Yuan. There will always be differences between them, right? As soon as I said, I came to the gate of He Garden. Unfortunately, it was dark and there was no light, so I could watch it, but it was useless if I didn't look.

Geyuan claims to be one of the "Fourth National Congress of China", while He Yuan claims to be the "No. 1 in the late Qing Dynasty". It is also a red-letter slogan written by Luo Zhewen, Liang Sicheng's student and ancient architecture expert. The gate of He Garden does not face south, but east. Its courtyard walls are not as tall as a garden, but its gate is what a well-behaved family should look like. The gate hall of He Garden is a door-style door that opens once, with a ticket added to the back. There are two steps in front of the door, and there are drum stone piers on both sides of the door post, of Hui style. What is a drum? The drum of news was the drum of news in front of the gate of the ancient yamen. When people encountered injustice, they were not allowed to block carriages to complain, and were allowed to beat the drum to complain. Only people with official positions are allowed to have doorsteps. The doorsteps are divided into drum type and square box type. Military officers use newspaper drum shapes in their homes, civil officials use square box shapes in their homes, and high-ranking officials also have ferocious beasts such as lions on their doorsteps. The pair of stone drums at the entrance of He Garden should not be a gate pier, but just a decoration. There is a round hole called Haiwo in the part of the door pier inside the door frame, which is used for installing the door shaft, which is the door shaft mentioned in "the door shaft is not worm". The width of the stone drum at the entrance of He Garden is not enough, and the inner part of the door cannot fit the door shaft.

The scope of He Garden has gradually expanded according to the ages in history. The current He Garden is a private house built by He Zhiyan in the late Qing Dynasty. He Zhiyu (Nian Guanyin) was an official during the Guangxu period and became the official of the Han and Huang Dedao. She was the governor of Hubei and the director of Jianghan Pass. He was appointed as a doctor of Guanglu, with a first-class official. In the ninth year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1883 AD), He Zhiguan was unhappy. Not only did the Qing Dynasty decline, Qing officials were always influenced by foreigners. He sealed the gold seal and retired to Yangzhou, bought a homestead in Yangzhou, and built this He Garden. He Zhizhen was an official in Hankou and was influenced by the eastward spread of the west wind, but deep down he was still the foundation of Chinese tradition. The He Garden he built retains the aesthetics of traditional Chinese gardens, but it is not limited to the layout of traditional private houses, and also borrows some Western architectural elements. Therefore, this He Garden is completely different from a traditional private house. It is not a front house and a back garden. The garden is not beside the house, but the house and the garden are integrated into one. Such a private garden is really unique. It is rare in the world but extraordinary in the world. Therefore, it is not false to say that it was the first in the late Qing Dynasty.

In the ninth year of Guangxu's reign, what He Zhizhen purchased in Yangzhou should be the existing stone mountain house and a large area of adjacent land. There may have been some buildings on this large area of land. Lao He transformed it into his own house, and the old garden no longer exists. This large area of land was called Shuanghuai Garden before Lao He came, but its original owner is no longer possible.

Usually, inside a hall and a gate, there is a screen inside the ticket, which is the so-called screen door. There is no screen in the He Yuan Gate ticket, but it is open. However, its ticket is connected to a half-circle of Hanshou Parade as traditional.

The other half of the circle is not a veranda, but a side hall, which is now a visitor center.

This space cannot be described with the traditional entrance to the courtyard. It is just a small garden with no main house. In front of it is a undulating courtyard wall with a moon door on the wall. The plaque on the door reads "Jixiao Villa", which is the name of the garden when He Zhiyan built He Garden.

Among the three British Bronte sisters, Emily wrote a novel Wuthering Heights, published in 1847. "Wuthering Heights" was only translated into Chinese in 1930. He Zhi's Jixiao Heights was definitely not inspired by "Wuthering Heights." They said that the meaning of Jixiao Mountain Villa came from the two sentences "Go to the south window to express pride" and "climb Donggao to relax in howling" in Tao Yuanming's "Return to Come". The meaning of borrowing from Tao Yuanming's resignation and return to the fields is in line with He Zhi's behavior of sealing gold and putting up a seal. They are all to express the hustle in his chest, so he wants to "howl".

After entering the gate of the villa, you will find a hall. This is the Peony Hall. Because the gate of Heyuan faces east, when I entered the gate of the villa, what I saw was the east wall of the Peony Hall.

On top of the Peony Hall is a single-eaves gray tile rolling shed on the top of the mountain. Look at its hanging ridges and berm ridges, they are all hollow ridges made of gray bricks. Most of the large houses in Yangzhou are ridges made of bricks and tiles. There are mosaic brick carvings on the mountain flowers on the top of the mountain. It is said that this is called "the wind blows peony". It seems that it is Bai Juyi who said,"The wind in the Ming Dynasty should be blown away." There is already a garden in the house here, and there is a house in the garden. Strange rocks and flowers and plants are arranged around the Peony Hall.

There is another hall behind the Peony Hall.

This is the boat hall, with three rooms wide and two rooms deep. It is an open pavilion with eaves corridors on all sides. Glass doors and windows are installed on all sides. The stones laid on the ground around the boat hall had the meaning of imitating waves. They said that this hall was a boat, and they also hung a couplet on the eaves pillars of the Ming Dynasty,"The moon is the master of the plum tree, and the flowers are the four walls and the boat is the home." It was very cool.

The glass partitions in the boat hall are very beautiful, and the roof of the eaves corridor is also exposed.

There are arc-shaped short beams on the two rows of pillars inside and outside the eaves corridor. In the north, these short beams are mostly straight, and in the southern Anhui School, they are mostly arc-shaped. They are called "Moon beams". Isn't it very vivid?

There is a rockery scenery around each building in He Yuan. There is also a Taihu Rock rockery in the northeast corner of the boat hall, and there is also a six-pillar pavilion on the rockery.

Why don't I call it the hexagonal pavilion? That's because its roof does not have six corners. I would say it's a round peak, but it has six hanging ridges on it. The plaque on the forehead reads "Near Moon". In the Song Dynasty, Duke Fan of Qi became a Qiantang Wei and promoted many people, big and small. When his close friend Su Jianjian saw that he was not promoted by old age, he presented a poem to Duke Fan, including "The moon is the first to be gained from a tower near the water, and the sun shines on the wood is easy to spring." After reading it, Fan Gong said he was ashamed. He covered his face with one hand and signed an order to immediately promote Inspector Su. Since this moon pavilion stands on the top of the mountain, it is far away from the water. How can it be close to the moon? Ah, he meant "the moon passes through the top of the mountain", so this pavilion is near the moon.

To the west of the boat hall, there is a second-floor veranda.

This is a major feature of He Yuanzhong. It is called Fudao Corridor, extending in all directions. Walking down the corridor, I saw many poem monuments posted on the wall.

This is Su Shi's "Dengzhou Haishi". In the eighth year of Yuanfeng of the Northern Song Dynasty (1085 AD), Su Shi served as the governor of Dengzhou for four months, and the Zhouya was in Penglai. He heard that there were mirage to admire in Penglai, so he went to the seaside cliffs to explore. The fellow villagers said that Spring and Autumn are common, so you came a little late. Su Shi went to the Sea God Temple to worship the gods and make a wish. He went again the next day and indeed saw the wonderful scene of the mirage. After returning from the scenery, I wrote this song "Dengzhou Haishi" and went to the Sea God Temple to pay my wish. Seeing that Su Shi was talented and trustworthy, the Sea God recommended him to Zhao Xu, the current emperor of Song Zhezong. With the emperor's order, Su Shi returned to Beijing to become a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and soon rose to the rank of Hanlin Scholar by rocket.

In addition to poetry steles on the wall, there are also leaking windows. I looked forward and saw that there was a view on the partition wall.

Look at the Fudao Corridor.

There is also a copybook stele at the corner of the corridor. This time it is Yan Zhenqing's "Three Tables". Duke Yan had three tables, one was "Xie Xianzu Gong Table"; the other was "Rang Xianbu Shangshu Table"; it is posted here as "Xie Jianjian Censor Doctor Table."

This is where the complex corridor begins. It takes a "concave" shape to form a horseshoe courtyard. There is a pool of water in the middle of the yard, and a pavilion is set up on the water.

This pavilion sits on a white stone pedestal in the water, facing east and west, with rockery embellished in the back half. The pavilion is a square pavilion with four corners with a sharp peak. There is a circle of ice cracks on the top of the pillars. Under the horizontal cover is a hollow woodcut door cover with bats and grass. Under the pillars is a circle of hollow woodcut backrests, with the door open to the west. There is a circle of Ruyi stone carvings outside the pavilion, and there is a white stone platform outside the west door.

When He Guan was completed, he would definitely inspect the house, and he would also name and name each building. This is a tradition of building gardens in China. In the 17th chapter of "Dream of the Red Chamber","The Grand View Garden test is right, and the Rongguo Mansion returns to the province to celebrate the Lantern Festival." Jia Yuanchun's father Jia Zheng once brought her brother Jia Baoyu into the park to name each building. Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty has a poem "Walking to a place where the water is poor, sitting and watching the clouds rise." When he walked to this pavilion on the water, he was "walking to a place where the water is poor, scratching his ears and cheeks." His brain was short circuited for a moment, so he had to name this pavilion "Shuixin Pavilion". This name is not literary at all, but the He family still has to do literary and artistic things in this pavilion. He hired people to sing here during festivals and festivals. What kind of play are you singing? Although Yangzhou is close to Suzhou and Anqing, what was popular in Yangzhou at that time was neither Pingtan nor Huangmei, but instead Huagu. He Zhichao used to be an official in Wuhan and had no problem listening to Huagu Opera; but he is from Anhui and seems to like Huangmei Opera more. Therefore, no one knows what kind of play was sung in this pavilion.

There is a building on the north bank of this water called Huisheng Building. Its downstairs is called the "Butterfly Hall" and it is the banquet hall of the He family.

I guess that when he family has dinner for both foreign guests and relatives, there must be a theater troupe in Shuixin Pavilion to add to the fun. Cao Cao once sang passionately,"Singing while drinking, how long is life?" For example, the dew in the morning will be bitter every day. Be generous, and forget your worries. How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang." Since He Observation has the act of sealing gold and putting a seal on it, if he holds a pen and writes, he must also have the style of Jian 'an.

Opposite Huisheng Tower is a section of complex corridors. Turning along the corridor, you will find an independent courtyard.

There are mountains, flowers and a building in the courtyard. This building is called the Yueyuan Building. Who is watching the moon upstairs? It's the old lady of the He family. This is the old lady's peach garden.

This is a regular building facing south. The old lady sits in the main room, sleeps in the east room, and worships Buddha in the west room. The layout of this main room is not right. The Huanghuali strip table is very high-class, and the red sandalwood inlaid marble chair is also very high-class. A square table is missing. You can't let the old lady sit there with her tea bowl, can you? Then why didn't she spill tea all over her body while trembling? I always shout "Someone, change my clothes" all day long. Every fifth day when the full moon is full, Old Mrs. He would stand in the upstairs corridor to admire the moon in the evening. If her children and grandchildren went out to watch a movie that day, she would "raise a glass to invite the bright moon and make the three of them together." Old ladies in the south usually contain Shaoxing wine in their cups. They stand against the railing and drink it hot. On the railing is a plate of boiled bamboo shoots or fragrant beans.

After singing from the small courtyard of Fengyue Tower, the cold moon turned east and crossed a lane.

It is another courtyard. There are buildings in the north and south of the courtyard, and the east and west are connected by complex corridors.

The tree in the middle of the yard is full of blooming flowers and is about to shine. Take a closer look.

You must know this flower. Yes, this is Qionghua, the flower of Yangzhou City. Why did Yangzhou choose Qionghua as its city flower? Because there is this ancient jade tree in He Garden. If you look at its shape, you must know that it also has a name called woody hydrangea. The two buildings in this courtyard are called Jade Embroidery Buildings. The embroidery is the hydrangea tree above, and the jade is the tall magnolia tree behind the hydrangea.

This Jade Embroidery Building is the He family's residence, which belongs to commercial and residential uses. It not only sleeps but also works here. It is a combination of Chinese and Western, and the overall is a Chinese-style two-story building. It is a common building in the south and called a tube-shaped building in the north. In the north, the tube-shaped buildings have the corridor in the middle and the rooms on both sides; in the south, the corridor is outside. You can see many Western architectural elements from the picture above. The semicircular arch ticket is Western-style, and there are Western-style shutters on the doors and windows. The bird on its eaves porch column has become a bow reinforced support. Although it has Chinese carvings, it also has Baroque nests. The railing on the second floor seems to be a Chinese-style railing, but if you look at the column at the railing, this is typical Western classicism.

Look at the Chinese pavilions silhouette doors and Western chandeliers in the corridor.

He Zhiyan also has a hobby of calligraphy and painting, and her appreciation skills are extraordinary. He Guan has many famous paintings in his collection. When he was young, Huang Binhong once lived in He Garden to admire paintings and competed with Lao He. There are many children and grandchildren in the He family who are good at painting, and his grandson He Zhengzhai is one of them. Look at the owner's studio.

The walls of the room are white-painted, and the Western-style lamp pool and Western-style chandeliers. Louis XV writing desk is equipped with Ming-style armchairs. The horizontal plaque on the wall is "Zhihong Zhai", with He Zhizhen, Huang Binhong and He Zhengzhai joining forces. In the first sentence of the couplet,"The haze is tied to the past". In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xuan said,"The haze is left behind by the cloak, and I stay in the river to talk about looking for the water bamboo king"; the next sentence,"Clouds and water discuss the strange encounter and encounter", which means meeting and meeting together in ancient times is a coincidence. It is a coincidence that you can meet but not seek it. He Zhengzhai wrote this couplet and lamented that the three of them met, and they all had a haze addiction. It was amazing. This Western-style room is decorated in Chinese style. The most eye-catching feature is the Louis XV writing desk.

Look at this room.

European-style fireplace, Chinese-style tables and chairs, and a yellow sandalwood engraved marble round screen in the middle. This room should be a living room or a living room. The round screen should have been somewhere else, but because it was so beautiful, it was displayed here and was not accessible to anyone.

Look at the lady's bedroom.

This arrangement is very shocking, for nothing else but the nylon bed curtain. Nylon was the world's first synthetic fiber, introduced in 1939. According to the historical records of the He family, it was in 1901 that He Guan and his family left He Yuan to set up businesses in Shanghai. Why did this exist here before? Miss He must have lived here after 1939.

In addition to the scenery in the courtyard, the space outside the courtyard is not vacant, and small scenery is also decorated.

After passing the Jade Embroidery Tower, follow the Fudao Corridor to the east. You can still walk to a building when you are approaching the south gate. Because there is a hall corridor in the middle of the first floor, it is called the Riding Building.

This equal-riding building is in the same form as the Jade Embroidery Building, and it is also a Chinese-style tubular building with Western elements. Riding Tower is the guest house of the He family. As the saying goes,"The main guest comes frequently." He Observation's house is so wonderful that guests will inevitably come frequently. The host and guest are also elegant. The person who came most frequently in the old rain of He's family was Huang Binhong. We have seen the plaque of "Zhihong Zhai" in the master's studio in Yuxiu Building. Huang Binhong's main destination for coming to He's residence was that room. In fact, Huang Binhong is also Mr. He's in-laws. Mr. He's eldest child's wife wants to call Huang Binhong cousin. I wonder who is older than this cousin or niece. Huang Binhong was diligent in learning calligraphy and painting before he was thirty years old. He heard that the father-in-law of a cousin in the clan possessed high-level ancient calligraphy and painting, so he asked the patriarch to introduce him to Mr. He. Although it often rains at Mr. He's home, there are many new and old rains that want to come and go back, and few people really lose their temper. Therefore, Lao He saw that Huang Jun loved calligraphy and painting and had great potential for painting, so he naturally happily introduced him to Gaotang. Not only did Lao He take out the masterpieces he had collected by ancient masters for Binhong to worship and ponder, but he also took him to Yangzhou's collection circle to rain new rain. During this period, Bin Hong would of course sit and lie in He's Guest House, and also arrange a high room. Huang Binhong once visited He Yuan six times to explore paintings, and later he wanted to have in-depth exchanges with Lao He. Lao He held a seminar on ancient calligraphy and painting in the garden. Everyone expressed their artistic views, discussed techniques, and also conducted some material scientific research. Huang Binhong eventually became a master of calligraphy and painting, and some grandchildren from the He family also followed Huang Binhong to learn painting and become a success.

The Fudao Corridor in He Yuanzhong connects the entire residential area, including Huisheng Building, Shangyue Building, Yuxiu Building and Riding Building. These buildings are all on the second floor, and are places where the old and young people of the He family carry out daily activities. They are connected by complex corridors, which facilitates transportation and facilitates mutual communication. It's rainy in Yangzhou. Even in the misty rain, the He family's parents would not wet their shirts or splash their robes with mud when they went to the Butterfly Hall in Huisheng Tower for seven meals. The idea of restoring the road corridor is not something anyone can think of. Like the Wuting Bridge in Slender West Lake, this restoring road corridor in Heyuan is the only place in the world. The Fudao Corridor and the buildings connected to it should have been built by He Zhizhen after he purchased Shuanghuai Garden in the ninth year of Guangxu. They belong to the new buildings in He Yuanzhong.

There are also some old houses in He Garden, which should have been before the He family came, such as the Xuchun Hall below the west side of the Riding Building.

Xuchun Hall sits north and faces south. It has seven rooms wide and three rooms deep. It is quite large. There are three exits on the front, with eaves corridors all around. The lifting beam structure is above the top of the gray tile single-eaves Sanchuan Xiefeng Mountain, and the Bao Xia is the top of the single-eaves Xiefeng Mountain. There is a couplet hanging on the front eaves column of Baoxia Ming Dynasty,"Retired scholars eat quinoa and amaranth all their lives, and scattered people thousands of miles in the Jianghu." It comes from Lu You's "Gifted to Taoist Tong and I are the same as you". If you look carefully at the column foundation of this building, it is drum-shaped; while the buildings in front are all basin-covered column foundations. So I said that this Xuchun Hall is not from the same period as the buildings in front of it, and it is very likely that it is a relic of the original Shuanghuai Garden. After the He family came, they also made changes to this building. Look at the sparrow under its eaves columns and horizontal beams, and they were also replaced with the same arched strengthening supports as the Yuxiu Tower. Judging from its roof, it should be from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, no earlier than the Qianlong period. The east and west solid walls are closed, and the front, rear and building are covered with wooden sill walls and glass partition windows. Go in and have a look.

The bright room and the east and west rooms in the hall are separated by wooden walls into a three-wide main hall. This is the living room. It is made in the open. It is rainy and humid in the south. It is good for ventilation and corrosion prevention. There is a hollow woodcut door cover between the rear gold pillars, forming the front and back space. He Guan retired behind the scenes and resigned from his official position, and the living room no longer needed to be decorated as an official room. There is no back screen on the front, and it is not the old three-piece hall set, or a simple square table and two master chairs. There are the same armchairs and square tables on both sides. In fact, they should be replaced with simple armchairs. The furniture is all Qing style with cumbersome carvings. The magic is that a Tibetan-style wool carpet is laid in the center of the living room, which is rare among the people, especially in wet places like Yangzhou. Look up again at the chandelier, a western view.

The horizontal plaque "Xuchun Hall" under the golden pillar is taken from the poem "Xuchun Hall" written by Chen Xuan, a poet of the same period as Su Shi in the Song Dynasty. The poem says,"The setting sun upstairs seems to fly, and the autumn scenery in front of the building is transparent to people's clothes. The horizontal blue mist is thick and can be swept away, and the semi-red frost and wood are cold." There are couplets on the pillars on both sides. The first couplet "Don't let the good days pass in the Spring and Autumn Period" is derived from Tao Yuanming's "There are many good days in the Spring and Autumn Period. Climb high to compose new poems"; the second couplet "The most difficult time for the wind and rain to come" should still be derived from Du Fu's "Autumn Notes". It is rare for both old and new rain to come.

According to the introduction in front of the hall, this is another nanmu hall, which is said to be the best-preserved and largest nanmu hall in Yangzhou. If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have discovered that this hall was made of nanmu, because all the wooden components were painted. I don't know if it was for protection or destruction.

On the west side of the Riding Building is the Xuchun Hall before He, and on the east side of the Riding Building is also the old house before He He It is an independent garden in the garden called Shishishanfang.

This was part of the homestead when He Zhizhen purchased it and was retained without large-scale renovation. Even so, the Shishan House is not complete. What you can see now is the back half of the former house and back garden. The house in front is basically gone, and there is still a veranda.

The last main room in the hospital was also the front room in the back garden. Behind this house is a pool and rockery in the back garden.

Although the main hall on the south of the pool is a brick structure, all the wooden structural parts on it are also made of nanmu. They also call it nanmu Hall. The wooden structure here has not been painted. Nanmu Hall is connected to a water pavilion outside through a mountain gate.

This pavilion is called an untied boat. When there are fish in the water, you can watch the fish here; when there are no fish in the water, you can watch the water here.

The most famous one among the rocky houses is the rockery on the north bank of the pool.

He is famous because this mountain was built by Shi Tao. Shi Tao was also quite miserable. His family was related to the man surnamed Zhu who lived in the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty. His ancestors were King Jingjiang of Guilin, who was granted the title of King Yuanzhang. Shi Tao's father was the last generation of King Jingjiang in the late Chongzhen years of the Ming Dynasty. In the early Shunzhi period of the early Qing Dynasty, he was finally killed by a Mingchen who bowed his waist for five buckets of rice. Young Shi Tao lived in prison for some years. After he was released from prison, he changed his name to Shi Tao and went to Huangshan to become a monk. He was a monk in Huangshan, and his Buddhist name was Yuanji. Zhu Da, a descendant of another vassal king at the end of the Ming Dynasty, also became a monk in the same way and changed his name to Bada Shanren. The four-person group of Shi Tao, Zhu Da and two other Ming monks was called the Four Monks of the Early Qing Dynasty. This four-person group is famous not because it is easy to recite scriptures, but because it is good at calligraphy and painting, especially Shi Tao and Bada Shanren. Shi Tao was not as good at painting strange flowers and birds as the Bada Shanren. Shi Tao traveled to Huangshan to paint Huangshan,"searched all the strange mountains to make sketches", and also established a Huangshan Painting School. Shi Tao is good at painting mountains and rivers, and he is the kind with steep cliffs and strange rocks. After his painting skills were pure green, Shi Tao came out of the mountain and entered Nanjing City, waiting for the emperor to come and patrol. During Kangxi's second southern tour, Shi Tao mixed into an array of local officials and came forward to receive the driver, claiming to be a "minister monk" to present paintings and compose poems. After Kangxi left, Shi Tao saw that these paintings were as silent as a clay ox entering the sea, so he followed them into the capital. He painted double paintings for a number of powerful ministers, one asking for them to stay and the other inviting them to pay tribute, and said,"I am here, waiting for you to wear your clothes." To no avail, Kangxi had actually sent people to transfer him. After learning about his background, he was afraid that the Zhu family would betray him, so he told his ministers not to bother with him. Shi Tao had no choice but to enter an official position and retired to Yangzhou. He was not knocked down by this bad luck. He worked hard in Yangzhou, painting and selling paintings, stacking stones and selling mountains, etc., and he was very happy.

Is Pianshan House Shi Tao's residence? There is no record, but at least the achievements of this rockery by the pool are conclusive. Strictly speaking, this rockery is built with Taihu Lake stones, not piled up with gravel. Was there indeed a mountain made of rubble here before Shi Tao? This is not recorded. Look at the typical rocky mountains.

A "moon in the water" appears at sunrise in this pool of water in the rocky mountain house. It turns out that there is a hole in the rockery. The sun moves from that eye to the water, naturally leaving the moon's shadow, which amazes people from ancient and modern times. Today is dark and dark. No one can enjoy it on their own unless the tour guide describes it.

The west wall and west corridor of the mountain house should also be left by the He family's previous landlord.

There is a window on the back wall of the pavilion, where you can see the rockery next door. I came to this mountain house from that courtyard, and I don't remember that there were mountains and rivers in that courtyard to admire. When I approached and looked around, it was a mirror. This mirror should be the property of He's family. There was no such size in Shi Tao's era.

Standing under the west corridor, look at the hall door of the Nanmu Hall opposite the boat. It is shaped like a bottle.

Standing under the porch, he took out a collection of poems from his pocket and read,"Green smoke, dark desert and rain are pouring, and the water hall is west corridor and north garden gate. I am wearing a single coat but I am still forbidden to fire, and I am afraid of dusk under the crabapple flowers." This rocky mountain house has mountains, water, nanmu, as well as flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. In case of rain, water will spray out from the mountain and fall into the pool, just like a waterfall of water spraying into a rainbow.

Beijing hosted the World Horticultural Exposition in 2019. Prior to this, Beijing also hosted the China International Garden Exposition in 2013. The former mainly focuses on flower shapes, while the latter mainly focuses on garden art. The 2013 Beijing Garden Expo included a Chinese Garden Museum, which reproduced several classic Chinese garden sketches. These include the northern-style Beijing Half-acre Pavilion, the exquisite and exquisite Suzhou Changyuan, the Lingnan-style Guangzhou Yuyin Mountain House, and this stone mountain house in Yangzhou. An ancient comment in the "Records of Yangzhou Painted Boats" said,"Hangzhou wins with lakes and mountains, Suzhou wins with cities, and Yangzhou wins with gardens and pavilions. The three stand tall and strong, without distinction." The China Garden Museum has selected a Suzhou garden and a Yangzhou garden reconstruction exhibition, and is also the best representative of ancient Chinese gardens. Look at the replica of the stone mountain house in the Garden Museum.

Ancient Yangzhou literary and art tycoons Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi had a memorial hall in Pingshan Hall. This Shi Tao was also built by modern Yangzhou people next to his Shipishan house. It had no meaning of an ancestral hall, but was to introduce Shi Tao's artistic career. Look at the exhibition inside.

"The Painting of Clear Sound in Mountains and Waters" was written in the 24th year of Kangxi (1685 AD). It was a work of the Huangshan School by Shi Tao during his waiting period in Nanjing. The original work is now in the Shanghai Museum, and this is a copy.

In 1901, the old lady of the He family passed away. After his mother's funeral, He Zhizhen left Yangzhou with his family to develop in Shanghai. He himself died in 1908. The descendants of the He family set up industries in Shanghai, as well as finance and education, and also produced some celebrities. Among the descendants of the He family I know is Academician He Zuoxiu, a nuclear physicist, a fourth-generation grandson of the "Zuo" generation.

After admiring the stone mountain house, I suddenly felt hungry in my stomach. Although materials are extremely rich today, as Sister Lin said,"There is no hunger or hunger in a prosperous age, so why do we need to be busy farming and weaving?" However, looking for wine in shops still requires your own efforts. Winding out of the beautiful scenery of He Garden, suddenly looking back, it is a big house door, ah! Surprised? I was stunned!

(To be continued)
