What kind of scenic spot is Xingyuan?

Xingyuan is a famous scenic spot in Jinzhong theme park.

Introduction to Xinglin:

Entering the gate of the quiet garden with rolling shed and cornices, we came to Xinglin, the earliest garden in Changjia. This is the earliest garden that is often built. The ten-acre park is full of apricot trees. Mentally speaking, there are three allusions and meanings to the frequent construction of Xinglin: First, Confucianism is often advocated and Confucius is respected as the ancestor, and Confucius first gave lectures at Xingtan, which was the first of its kind. Secondly, apricot blossoms are in February, which is the earliest time to announce spring. At that time, it was also the time for raising children from all over the world to take exams in Beijing. Therefore, apricot flowers, also known as auspicious flowers, as a cultural family, naturally prefer this auspicious flower and tree. Thirdly, according to legend, Dong Feng, a famous doctor of the State of Wu at the end of the Han Dynasty, received nothing for seeing a doctor, and only asked his family to plant apricot trees in front of his door, which made him grow into a forest for a long time. Dong Feng is also honored as a fairy because of his medical skills and medical ethics. Often founded Xinglin, but also contains the reverence for the noble character. Often advocating Confucianism, many descendants of past dynasties went to the Confucius Temple in Shandong to worship. Finally, when the Northern Ancestral Temple was completed in the fifth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, an apricot altar was built, and a statue of Confucius was placed on it to express their children's admiration.

Building structure

As can be seen from the architectural structure of the whole apricot garden, the owner built it with originality. After entering the gate, the courtyards on both sides are Songshi and Meiyou respectively. The owner of Yuyuan Garden advocates the tall and straight pines and cypresses and the nobility of plum blossoms. There are 28 corridors on the east and west sides, and the walls of the corridors are inlaid with 56 couplets of famous Qing Dynasty sentences for tourists to learn from time to time while walking. There is a lookout pavilion at each end of the promenade, which echoes the small pavilions at the four corners of Xinglin, reflecting the owner's elegant and fresh taste. The four pavilions in the four corners of the park are inlaid with plaques of cloak, pillow chardonnay, jing xing and Qingyun respectively. The cloak pillow chardonnay reflects the owner's mood of caring for mountains and rivers and longing for an indifferent and quiet life; Venus sky represents auspicious constellations. According to legend, Shun ruled the world and Venus appeared in the sky. Qingyun colorful Xiangyun; According to legend, when Emperor Yao was born, there was a clear cloud in the sky. The above two sentences are the wishes of sages to govern the country and the people's desire for prosperity and peace.

Tiger skin stone:

This well-shaped boulder under the flower stand is called tiger skin stone, which reads the words "those who know don't speak, those who speak don't know" This is a maxim in Laozi's Tao Te Ching, which is explained by popular words now, that is, real people do not show images, but show images as non-real people. It shows the literati complex and personality of the children, and their pursuit of moral cultivation beyond the image.

Posters on the balcony:

Among the couplets on the veranda, Liu Yong, Zuo, Lin Zexu, Zeng Guofan, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao are well known to the world, as well as masterpieces by Shanxi celebrities Fu Shan, Qi Juanzao and Zhao Tieshan. Here, we would like to mention another feature of the architecture of Changjia Manor, that is, as a family of Confucian businessmen, Changshi has extensively collected Mo Bao, a famous person of all ages, and incorporated it into the architecture. For example, when we entered Baomen, we saw Ouyang Xiu and Su Dongpo's two unique posts in the Song Dynasty, as well as the calligraphy and painting posts of Yun, a famous painter in Yonghe Temple in the early Qing Dynasty. There are eight famous posts in Keyuan Tang poetry.

Xingtan:

According to legend, Confucius gave lectures under Xinglin, and Chang's ancestors built an apricot altar under the Huaiyin tree in the apricot garden in order to encourage the younger generation to learn Confucian culture and realize Taoism. The elders often come here to teach the younger generation tirelessly, so there is a story of Chang Zhiyuan. (See the description of Xingtan for details. There are four exquisite stone reliefs around the altar, which are the allusions of Confucius' traveling around the world, talking about Mu, giving lectures at Xingtan and learning from Qin. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China was divided into many small countries. At that time, some successful taxis lobbied among countries to tell their knowledge among the people or the royal family, so as to give full play to their talents and get the reuse of kings of various countries. Among them, Han Fei, Li Si, Su Qin and others are more successful. Confucius was no exception. He also led his disciples. Give lectures everywhere. But unfortunately, his theory has never been appreciated by monarchs all over the world. Confucius, a lecturer at Xingtan, traveled around the world and failed to be reused; After returning to Lu, it was still not taken seriously. So he simply stopped thinking about being an official, and talked about the piano in Xingtan every day, telling his disciples about poetry, ceremony, music and Yi. Therefore, Xingtan is regarded as the first holy place for Confucius to give lectures and set up education. Because the place where Confucius gave lectures was covered with apricot trees, people called it the apricot altar. Later, Xingtan became synonymous with people's pursuit of knowledge and ideals. After the death of Confucius, his student Zi Gong planted many regular script trees around his mausoleum, while at that time, model trees were planted in front of the mausoleum in Zhou Wenwang, Henan. Because both of them are role models representing China culture, later generations regard role models as synonymous with people who advocate learning.

In Mu, I went to Lu with Yan Ying to meet Confucius. Q: Qin was originally very small and geographically remote. Why can it dominate the world? Confucius said: Qin was weak in the past, but he was ambitious, strict in statutes, and able to know people and be good at their duties. For example, it can redeem Prissy with five sheepskins and entrust it with a heavy responsibility. From this perspective, it is also possible for Qin to be king. Upon hearing this, Gong Jing expressed his conviction. In the 19th year (523 BC), when Confucius was 29 years old, he studied piano with Xiang. Shi Xiang taught Confucius a piece of music and asked him who composed it. Confucius practiced playing for a long time until he understood the meaning of music, and then realized that his author was Zhou Wenwang. Shi Xiang appreciated this piece of music and told him that it was really written by Cao.

The parting between Gankan-Genzhen and Kundui

Facing the main entrance of Xingyuan, the meaning is profound. For thousands of years, it is difficult for generation after generation to exhaust its profound connotation. But from its position, it clearly expresses the master's gardening purpose, that is, to understand the philosophy and the true meaning of life from the four seasons of nature, one grass, one tree, one stone and one water.

Flower wall screen wall:

These four finely carved brick walls on both sides are hung on the wall, with exquisite composition, vivid image and exquisite workmanship; Commonly known as the flower wall. The flower wall is composed of flowers, grass, birds, insects, trees, clouds and the moon, supplemented by four different fonts of four seasons reading music poems, forming four freehand paintings with perfect composition and great appreciation and reading value. While admiring these wonderful picture works, it is not difficult for us to appreciate the elegant sentiment and artistic appreciation level of the owners who made them in those years.

These four screen-inserted wall hangings, one pair is a tea nail with dragon pattern, and the other is a tea nail with grass dragon pattern; Brick carvings and heart carvings include peony, violet, chrysanthemum and plum blossom, representing all seasons of the year; So we also call it the screen screen of four seasons flower arrangement. The Four Seasons Screen Wall and the Central Gossip Screen Wall echo each other and blend into one, which makes the cultural atmosphere of Xingyuan suddenly colorful. The shadow wall of folk gardens is often made with the corresponding local folk culture implication. For example, on this pattern of Qiu Jingtu chrysanthemum, a cat with exquisite workmanship and a butterfly with wings spread are carved, which means homonym and wishes the owner of the manor a long life. In this summer scene, the patterns of lotus, egret and calamus are carved, which means that homophonic sounds are connected with various disciplines and the cause is accessible.

It is said that this screen wall was brought back from Yangzhou by its owner in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, so it shows the beautiful scenery of Ming Xiu, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

In front of the court last night, leaves rang and crickets opened on the hedge. Chiang Kong's eyes fell to a thousand cliffs, and I saw it, too. I don't think there are sparse forests everywhere in business, and it's bleak and empty. Sitting on the wall facing Wei, singing snow at midnight. Remember not to be young, and study hard in life. A pot of tea in the ground stove can make a living fire, which is light enough to be called a scholar. Tao Tao, the pleasure of reading will be frosty tomorrow. Where to find the pleasure of reading, count plum blossoms.
