What changes have taken place in Yu Garden in Qing Dynasty?

Pan Yunduan said in the Annals of Yuyuan Garden: "It is also the pleasure of old relatives to write' Yuyuan Garden' on a plaque."

"Jade" means "Antai" and "Peace". It can be seen that the purpose of Pan Yunyun's garden is to let his parents spend their old age in the garden. However, due to the long delay, Pan Yunyun's father Paine died when the garden was just completed, and the Yuyuan Garden actually became a place where Pan Yunyun lived in seclusion and enjoyed himself.

Pan Yunduan often holds banquets and plays in the garden, inviting immortals to tell fortune, celebrate birthdays and worship ancestors, write songs, play cricket, fly kites, and buy and sell antique calligraphy and painting. Later, Pan Shi's family business declined, and after Pan Yunyun's death, the garden became increasingly deserted.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Pan Shi Yuyuan Garden once belonged to Zhang Zhaolin, and he was also the son-in-law of Pan Yunyun.

In the early Qing Dynasty, Yu Garden changed owners several times, and its site was also divided into foreign names. In the early years of Kangxi, some gentry in Shanghai converted several halls of Yu Garden into Qinghe Academy, dedicated to the memorial of Zhang Shengqu, the magistrate of Songjiang. The college has not been built yet, so it is closed for some reason. Gardens and pavilions in the garden are strewn at random, the grass is full of ponds, some places have become vegetable fields, and the beautiful scenery has become desolate.

1709, Shanghai gentry bought a temple garden in the east of Yu Garden for public activities, namely the cemetery, also known as the East Garden. 1760, some wealthy gentry and businessmen raised funds to buy a large piece of old land in the Yuyuan Garden in the north and northwest of the temple to restore the garden style of that year. It lasted for more than 20 years. Because of the existing "East Garden" and the complex garden in the west, it is called "West Garden".

During this period, Deyue Building, Qizao Hall, Sansui Hall and Cuixiu Hall were built.

Deyue Building was built in 1760, located in Yuhuatang and Yulinglong West, facing the water on both sides. It is named after the meaning of "the moon is the best near the water". Deyue Building is a two-story building with exquisite architecture, painted beams and colorful buildings, cloisters and curved columns, gorgeous and quiet.

There is a plaque of "A Thousand Miles of Bright Moon" in front of Deyue Building. The bright moon is in the sky, overlooking the moonlight on the pavilion and the zigzag bridge in the middle of the lake, which is very interesting. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a couplet describing Deyuelou, "Rural scenery, old moonlight", which was intriguing.

Qizao Hall, located in the downstairs of Deyue, is named after "the water waves are strange and the algae are colorful". The decoration in the hall is beautiful and unique. There are 100 pieces of wood carvings with different fonts under the eaves of the church, which are called "Hundred Days" and full of national characteristics. The well in front of the main hall looks like a square teapot with a plaque "Living in a Pot of Heaven". On the left wall, there is a brick carving of Guanghan Palace in Qing Dynasty.

Cuixiutang is located at the northeast cliff of Darockery. 1760 started construction and 1770 was completed. 18 13 was transferred from saionji to the bakery and bean business. After extensive renovation, the building structure was exquisite, quiet and clean. Surrounded by high walls, there are many peaks in front of the hall, and flowers and trees are dying.

The restored West Garden and East Garden are not private gardens in essence, but temple gardens where gentry and gentry meet and play gracefully in the city. However, the scale layout is still in accordance with Pan Shi Yuyuan Garden, and the style of the literati garden is clear and elegant. Le Shoutang, which was originally near the lotus pond, has been in disrepair for a long time. When the West Garden was rebuilt, a tall, gorgeous and spacious Sansui Hall was built on the original site.

Sansui Hall, located at the main entrance of Yuyuan Garden, was originally named Leshou Hall. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was requisitioned as the office of Shanghai county government, and was converted into Sansui Hall when Xiyuan was rebuilt. It means "three ears in the grain are a sign of a bumper harvest". There are five halls and spacious houses. In the center of Sansuitang Hall, there are plaques of "City Mountain Forest" and "Lingtai Shi Jing".

Under the plaque is the Book of Yuyuan Garden inscribed by Pan Yunyun, the owner of Yuyuan Garden. The fan is carved with ears of rice, millet, wheat seedlings and fruits. Sansui Hall faces the Great Lake in the south, and juniper is planted in front of the hall. The landscape is quite wide. There are pavilions in the middle of the lake, floating on the water, building Liang Shi in the east and west, and arriving at the shore at nine o'clock.

In the middle of Qing Dynasty, Sansui Hall was a meeting place where the bean and rice industry hall discussed and formulated standards, also known as "Jiaohu Hall". It was also the place where the government called the gentry and merchants to preach the imperial edict, and it was the political and economic activity place of the gentry and wealthy businessmen in Shanghai at that time. Sansuitang South Lotus Pond, Fuwa Pavilion, Green Wave Gallery, Haolefang, Hexian Pavilion, Qingfentang and Ninghui Pavilion.

Dianchuntang was built by Fujian flower and sugar merchants for office use in the early years of Qing Daoguang, with a total of five. Carved beams and painted buildings in the temple are magnificent and exquisite, and there are opera figures carved on the doors and windows, which are lifelike. This name takes the meaning of Su Shi's word "Cuidian Chun Yan".

Dianchuntang faces the small stage, resplendent and exquisite in style. It's called "phoenix dance and Luan sound", commonly known as singing stage. It is the place where the flower and sugar industry held a banquet at the age of 20.

There is a small rockery southeast of the singing platform. Water flows out of the stone sinus under the rockery and merges into a small pool. Half of the stage is placed in the pool, which is very elegant. There is a water sill behind Dianchun Temple, from which you can watch the fish. There is a plaque "leap" and the font is elegant and free and easy.

Later, Xiangxue Hall, Dianchun Hall, Guihua Hall, Deyue Building, Huashen Pavilion and Lianhua Hall in Yuyuan Garden were all damaged by fire. During Jiaqing and Daoguang years in Qing Dynasty, Shanghai's commerce developed rapidly, and some commercial guilds set up trade offices in Yuyuan Garden as places for sacrifices, discussions, banquets and sightseeing. 1868, West Park was divided into various trade offices, and each raised funds to repair it.

Yangshantang was built at this time. Yangshantang is located behind the Sansui Temple, facing the big rockery opposite the pool, and was built in 1866. The bottom floor is called Yangshantang, and the upper floor is the rain rolling building. There are five trees in Yangshan Temple, with a cloister behind it and a curved threshold, facing the pool, where you can take a nap. Looking at the big rockery, you can see the reflection in the pool.

The rain-rolling building is a winding balcony, which takes the meaning of the Tang poem "The rain brings a bead curtain to the western hills at dusk". It climbs the building in the rain, with mist and faint mountain light, as if it were in the rainy mountain of Shui Gu, which is the unique scenery of Yuyuan Garden.

Since then, teahouses and pubs in the garden have sprung up one after another, and vendors are in groups. In an open space in the southwest of the lotus pond, some Jianghu artists, such as physiognomy, selling pear paste and Latin films, set up stalls here, gradually becoming a fixed temple fair market, and later evolved into a shopping mall.

1894, the fabric industry institute built a weaving pavilion to commemorate the ancient weaver Huang Daopo. Weaving Pavilion is located in the middle of the west corridor between Qizao Hall and Lianhua Building, facing the pavilion in the lake and Jiuqu Bridge, and facing the brick carvings of Wulaofeng and Yuefu. The pavilion is separated from the corridor by a fan, and the fan skirt is engraved with "Ploughing and Weaving Map".

The library was also built during this period. The library building, also known as the painting and calligraphy building, is located opposite the Deyue building and was once a famous painting and calligraphy market.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Yuyuan Garden was divided into north and south by an east-west path, and the ancient buildings were ruined beyond recognition. Fortunately, some important parts of the garden, such as Dianchun Hall, Sansui Hall, rockery, pavilions and ancient and famous trees, are still preserved.
