[memory] architecture readable: the main scenic spot of this classical garden in Shanghai is nearly 520 years old!


According to the Municipal Bureau of tourism, the autumn garden, located in Jiading District, consists of Jiading Town God’s Temple and three private gardens in the Ming Dynasty, namely, Gong Shiyuan, Shen’s garden and Jinshi garden

.

It is the oldest and most intact one in the five classical gardens of Shanghai

.

The main part of the garden was built in 1502 ad, and it will be 520 years old next year

.

Its history, first through a new propaganda film to understand

.

The length of the video is 3 minutes and 21 seconds

.

The dictionary of “Qiuxia” in Qiuxia garden, the oldest garden in Shanghai, is from Wang Bo’s preface to Tengwang Pavilion, which says “sunset and lonely dreams fly together, and autumn water grows in the same color in the sky”, implying the original owner’s wish of “not falling into the blue clouds”

.

Garden South Link East Street, North Qi Liang Road, is a unique style of classical gardens, the total area of 45.36 acres, divided into peach blossom Lake (formerly Gong Shiyuan), Ning Xia Ge (original Shen’s garden), Qing mirror Tong (original Jinshi garden) and Town God’s Temple four scenic spots, exquisite layout, elegant environment

.

In the four or five hundred years after its completion, qiuxiapu was seriously damaged by the war and many other reasons

.

Since 1980, the maintenance and expansion project has been started, which is divided into two phases

.

By 1987, it was fully completed and opened, and 40 ~ 50 scenic spots of three gardens and one temple have been restored, forming the main body of today’s scenic spots

.

In recent years, in order to strengthen the protection of ancient buildings, the park staff carried out regular inspections on many ancient buildings, striving for early detection, timely survey and maintenance

.

The renovation of the main hall, three hidden hall, Liu Yunju, and the annual Pavilion were carried out in Town God’s Temple, and the transformation of electrical lines was carried out, so that the gardens could always be displayed in the best image before the public visitors

.

The correct interpretation of the word “autumn” in qiuxiapu is easy to associate with autumn scenery

.

Because qiuxiapu is elegant and quiet, delicate and soothing, it seems that it is always covered with a light sense of autumn, but it would be wrong to think that qiuxiapu is just a garden suitable for enjoying autumn

.

Qiuxiapu is a Suzhou style garden suitable for all seasons, with flowers in spring, lotus moon in summer, red branches in autumn and plum snow in winter

.

There are four seasons to enjoy the scenery, even in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening

.

For example, “congguixuan” in the garden has peach blossom spring scenery in the East, banana in summer in the south, autumn osmanthus and bamboo in the west, and green pine and mountain in the north

.

A small scene can contain the beauty of the four seasons

.

The most interesting feature of qiuxiapu is “changing scenery step by step and changing endlessly”

.

Although the scale is not large, it is close to the mountains and forests, square inch of heaven and earth, full of inside and outside scenes, and there is another cave between the twists and turns, giving tourists a strange surprise experience like Lilliputian

.

Dong Qichang, a famous calligrapher and painter in the Ming Dynasty, once inscribed a plaque “between ten Mu” on it, which skillfully shows the beauty of qiuxiapu as “urban mountain forest”

.

The origin of qiuxiapu and the fate of the two families are intertwined

.

One is the literati Gong family in Jiading area, the other is the Huizhou salt merchant Wang family living in the south of the Yangtze River

.

Gong’s garden in qiuxiapu was built by Gong Hong in Ming Dynasty

.

However, after Gong Hong’s death, the Gong family declined

.

The Wang family, a salt merchant, bought the garden and made an appointment with the descendants of the Gong family: “if they can win, the garden will be returned free of charge.” Later, the posterity was elected, and the garden returned to its original owner, which was a good story

.

It’s a pity that this wonderful story has not come to an end

.

At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the descendants of Gong family died in a battle to defend the city, and the Gong family declined again

.

At this time, the Wang family once again bought the garden and renamed it “qiuxiapu”

.

How to appreciate a literati garden Qiuxia garden is a famous literati garden in the south of the Yangtze River, not only because of the garden style, but also because of the rich humanistic atmosphere in the garden

.

Its pavilions, ponds and bridges have the charm of traditional Chinese painting and the artistic conception of Tang poetry and Song poetry

.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, it has attracted many literati and painters to write poems and paintings here, and left a large number of poems in the name of qiuxiapu

.

The three words “qiuxiapu” on the plaque at the entrance of qiuxiapu were put forward by Hu Juewen, a patriotic industrialist

.

The stone gate is engraved with the four words “Hanfang Ningxia”, which was written by the famous ancient architecture expert Professor Chen Congzhou

.

Today, when we walk into Qiuxia garden, we can enjoy not only the beautiful landscape of the garden, but also a large number of tablets, couplets and other famous people’s ink marks in the garden

.

It seems that we can travel through time and space, and experience the joys and sorrows of the famous people who have been here for hundreds of years

.

It means yearning for a free life
