2. Brief introduction of "Gao Xiang Algae Bloom"

Master Wang Garden, known as the "boutique garden", is carved in the brick gatehouse in front of Wanjuan Hall in the main hall. After more than 300 years of vicissitudes, it is still simple and fresh, well preserved and exquisite, and enjoys the reputation of "the first gate building in the south of the Yangtze River".

The brick gate house is located between the lobby and the lobby. It is about 6 meters high, 3.2 meters wide and 1 meter thick. On the east and west sides of the gatehouse are wind and fire walls and tile roofs, which are antique. At the top is a cornice semi-pavilion, with a single cornice and a sloping corner, covered with small black tiles. The shape is light and chic, tall and handsome, and full of gas field. The garage door under the eaves is assembled on the wooden door with square blue bricks and inlaid with plum blossom-shaped copper rivets, which is both beautiful and generous, and firm and practical.

There is a brick carving hall embedded in the south side of the gatehouse, which is dedicated to the five-character monument of "Heaven and Earth Master". It has a history of hundreds of years and is extremely exquisite. The north of the gatehouse is the main body, and all the dripping tiles are made of water mill blue bricks, which is not only the roof support, but also the decoration of the gatehouse. Brick goose heads are grouped in pairs, and twelve pairs of exquisite goose heads are arranged neatly and supported on the hollow brick carving in the shape of "Shou". The two wings at the bottom of the goose head are decorated with exquisite and light brick flowers, and several exquisite horizontal bricks are orderly and orderly, extending outward in turn. Goose head is high, magnificent, elegant and beautiful, and it is a beautiful three-dimensional painting.

? The horizontal plaque in the middle of the gatehouse is a picture of creeping weeds. Creeping plants are flourishing, constantly growing and extending, symbolizing lush and long-term good luck. Brick column flower baskets are hung upside down at both ends of the horizontal plaque, engraved with lion rolling hydrangea and Shuanglong playing beads, and the ribbons are light. Outside the edge of the horizontal plaque, it hangs lightly, and the overall carving is exquisite and exquisite, which is amazing. Vigorous and vigorous, elegant and indifferent.

"Algae" is the general term for aquatic plants; "Prosperity" means that literary talent is gorgeous and literary talent is flying; "Gao Xiang" means flying high. Dou Du is on both sides, and the three-dimensional opera picture of "Guo Ziyi Longevity" is engraved on the left. In the picture, Guo Ziyi sits in the purlin, with a beard and chest hanging down, and is amiable; Eight civil and military officials stood in turn, some with tributes and some with weapons. There are potted flowers in the hall and a pair of stone lions in front of the door, which are very imposing. When Guo Ziyi was in Tang Suzong, he made great contributions to pacify the Anshi Rebellion, and was named King of Fenyang, and later served as Minister of War. He lived a long time, 84 years old. His eight sons and seven sons-in-law were all appointed by the imperial court, and they were praised as "great wealth and longevity" by history books and "great virtue" by Guo Ziyi. The moral of this dramatic picture is "longevity and happiness". There is a three-dimensional opera painting of "Zhou Wenwang touring Xi 'an" on the right. Jiang Ziya, with a long beard and a straight chest, sat solemnly by the Weihe River. Zhou Wenwang knelt down and begged the sage. The ministers of civil and military affairs were crowding round, some holding horses and some holding weapons. What is described here is Zhou Wenwang's visit to Jiang Ziya. King Wen, who is self-cultivated and deeply loved by the people, is the king of virtue, while Jiang Ziya, who is skilled in military affairs, is hidden by the Weihe River. On one occasion, before Zhou Wenwang went hunting, someone divined and said that his "income was neither dragon nor tiger, but the help of the overlord". I was overjoyed and made Jiang an army division. King Wen is famous for his great virtue, and Jiang Ziya is famous for his great virtue. "King Wen visits the virtuous" means "being virtuous and literate". Carve square columns in front of the three carved frames, with railings and cloisters between them, just like castles in the air; The knife work is exquisite, the texture is clear, simple and beautiful. There are three circular "longevity" characters under the horizontal plaque, which are arranged naturally. Around the word "shou", light gray water mill blue bricks are engraved with bats flying with wings and clouds flying in the air. In the word "bat", "bat" and "fu" are homophonic and symbolize "fu". "Longevity" means longevity and good luck. "Happiness" and "longevity" are universal requirements of human beings. The three-star pattern of "Fu", "Lu" and "Shou" on the whole gate is meaningful. Blessed is Five Blessingg; Lu is a high official and generous; Long life means that Samsung shines high, Hongfu stays in the sky, life is higher than the sky, and Yongchang lasts forever.

The brick carving on the gatehouse is carved with chisels and planers on exquisite blue bricks by artistic methods such as flat carving, relief carving, carving and through carving. Historical figures are lifelike, and the images of birds, animals and flowers are vivid. These brick carving patterns enrich the connotation of traditional culture in scenic spots with their unique styles. The charm of carving art and the charm of historical stories permeate each other, solemn and quaint, shining with the bright light of Wu culture and folk art. This exquisite and natural brick carving gate house is worthy of being a masterpiece of traditional brick carving art?
