How old is fuzhou west lake park?

Now it covers an area of 42.5 1 hectare, including land area 12.5438+0 hectare and water area of 30.3 hectares.

Fuzhou west lake park has a history of 1700 years. It is the most complete preserved classical garden in Fuzhou, known as the "Pearl of Fujian Gardens", and ranks among the 36 West Lakes in China.

According to historical records, in the third year of Jin Taikang (AD 282), the county magistrate Gao Yan dug the West Lake when he built Zicheng, and injected water from the northwest mountain into this area to irrigate farmland. Because it is located in the west of the wall of the Jin Dynasty, it is called the West Lake. During the Five Dynasties, King Fujian expanded the city and connected the West Lake with the South Lake. Yan Jun, his son, proclaimed himself the emperor, and built the Water Crystal Palace (near today's Shuiguanmen) on the lakeside Bichi, built pavilions, platforms, buildings and pavilions, and dug a back road between Wang Fu and the West Lake to facilitate the harem to visit the West Lake. The West Lake became the royal garden of the Ming Dynasty. Since then, it has gradually become a tourist area. During the Song Dynasty (1174-1189), Zhao Ruyu, the imperial clan of the Southern Song Dynasty, the magistrate of Fuzhou and the fu envoy of Fujian, built a pavilion on the lake with the title "Eight Scenes of the West Lake in Fuzhou": the willow color of Xianqiao, the pine sound of dreams, the sunset and crystals.

Scholars of all ages marveled at the beauty of the West Lake and left many excellent works. Xin Qiji, a poet in the Song Dynasty, praised "rainy weather is better, stone is unmarried" in his poem "He Xinlang travels to the West Lake in three mountains and rains". The West Lake Evening Plate, which was metabolized by Ming Dynasty, praised: "Ten miles of willows are like silk, and the night lake light is more strange." In the third year of the Republic of China (19 14), Fujian asked Xu Shiying to turn the West Lake into a park, with an area of only 3.62 hectares at that time. After liberation, West Lake Park has been expanded several times. It combines the gardening style of Fuzhou classical gardens, takes advantage of natural landscape, gives priority to local tree species, pays attention to poetry and painting, and "sees the big from the small", making the scenery of the West Lake more beautiful and famous. The restored and newly added scenic spots include Six Colors of Xianqiao, Weizitang, Kaihua Temple, Wanzai Hall, Dressing Pavilion, "Beautiful West Lake", Poetry Gallery, Waterfront Pavilion Gallery, Jianhu Pavilion, Lake Race, Spring Rain in the middle of the lake, Xiao Yuan in Jinlin, Sunset in the Ancient City, Qin Fangyuan, Lotus Pavilion, Guizhai, Lake-seeking Monument and Pottery Garden.

At that time, poets gathered and passed down as a much-told story. In the forty-first year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1702), it was converted into a pavilion in the lake. In the 13th year of Qianlong (1748), Ren Huang proposed to rebuild it and set up a poetry niche in the hall as a gathering place for poets in Fuzhou. Later, the church was destroyed by the flood. Daoguang was rebuilt in four years (1824).

The existing square lotus pavilion is a Qing dynasty building.

Guizhai

Guizhai non-smoking pavilion is located in the northwest of Lianting, with its back against the sound of big dreams and pines, next to Lianting Evening Singing, facing the spring rain in the lake in the north and the willow color in Xianqiao in the east. When Lin Zexu built Li Gang's ancestral hall, he erected three rafters and planted two osmanthus trees in the ancestral hall, which was named "Guizhai" after Li Gang's residence in Fuzhou in his later years. In the thirty-first year of Guangxu (1905), it was renamed as "Lin Wenzhong's public reading room", and then a room and a non-smoking booth were built next to Zhai.

Mysterious statue

Mysterious Statue There stands an ancient statue in front of fuzhou west lake park Wanting. It can be inferred from the clothes that the prototype of the statue should be a person from the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty. However, because there is no written explanation on him and around him, his identity once became a mystery. In June 2008, after the media reported, Fuzhou citizens quoted classics to discuss the identity of ancient statues.

The author of this statue is Gao. In the early 1980s, when he was a teacher at Fuzhou Arts and Crafts School, he received the task of placing statues in the West Lake Park in the urban area. "At that time, there was a lot of controversy about who should be the prototype of thousands of statues." Gao Lao recalled that at that time, the requirements of the relevant departments for statues were the image of a literati to match the history of Wanzaitang. "At first, it was based on Li Bai. Later, considering that he did not have a deep relationship with Fuzhou, some people put forward two plans, Xin Qiji and Li Gang, because both of them have been to Fuzhou and are famous literati. " After several discussions, the final plan is to combine the three images to make a statue representing the poet. "The facial expression is closer to Li Bai, wearing the clothes of the Ming Dynasty literati, and the hat looks like that of the Song Dynasty."

Gao Lao said that it took them nearly two months to make this 2-meter-high statue with fake stone materials. More than 20 years have passed, and whenever he has time, he will go to West Lake Park to see the statue. "I didn't expect so many people to pay attention to it until now."

Xihu academy

In the 12th year of Tongzhi (1873), Wang Kaitai, the governor of Fujian Province, set up the "Jingshitang" in the former site of the academy near Fuzhou West Lake, renovated the old West Lake Academy (near the former site of Fuzhou Zoo), set up spacious houses and built the "Thirteen Mei Bookstore". In the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, it was renamed Zhiyong Academy, which means "applying what you have learned" and "applying what you have learned". It specializes in the history of Confucian classics and ancient prose, and employs Lin Shoutu as the head of the mountain.

The academy recruits promotion, tribute, students and supervisors from all over the province, making them "talents who can understand themselves and apply themselves". Except for the screening examination held by the governor and the governor himself in February every year, other monthly classes are presided over by Governor Yamayama. The first session enrolled students 10, and each student was given 4 taels of silver paste; 20 foreign classes, 3 taels of silver paste per class; There are no places for additional courses, and no ointment will be given.

During Guangxu period, the Academy moved to the left of Gong Fan Temple (Fan Temple). The academy is built on the mountain with a relatively high base. It reaches the gate from the lower floor through dozens of stone steps. In front of the lecture hall, Gao Shuang is spacious, which is beyond the reach of the college. But there is no study room, only a few study rooms and a library. There are several buildings in the backyard, all long residential buildings. The open space on the left is relatively large, many plum trees are planted, and a house is built behind it, which is the "Thirteen Plum Bookstore". There is a couplet inscribed by Xie on the mountain: "Qingshan is my family business, and the old tree does not forget the human spring."

From the establishment to the closure of the academy, there were only three mountain leaders: Lin Shoutu, Zheng Shigong and Xie. The Academy has trained many talents, such as Huang Zeng who studied Confucian classics and literature, and HengJia Zhang who studied history (the first inspector of Shi Jing University Hall). In the thirty-first year of Guangxu (1905), the imperial examination was abolished, and the academy was changed to Fujian Normal University (now the predecessor of Fujian Normal University).
