Yunluo has always been a guy who is good at coaxing girls. Yan Chenyu and Yunluo have never had the idea of ​​breaking up. It can be seen that Yunluo has super high methods.

Geyuan is the oldest and best-preserved salt merchant garden in Yangzhou. It is located in the south of Dongguan Street, famous ancient alley in Yangzhou and Yanfu East Road in the north of Yangzhou Inland River Scenic Belt. It is the home of Huang Zhiyun, the Lianghuai Salt General in the 23rd year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1818). It is a classic representative of the private gardens in Yangzhou in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Geyuan is known as the four famous gardens in China, one of the four famous gardens in China, Luo Zhewen wrote about the Summer Palace in Beijing, one of the four famous gardens in China.

Huang Zhiyun, the owner of Geyuan Garden, has been a total of more than 50 years of Lianghuai Salt for more than 10,000 yuan, and has accumulated a huge amount of money. He rebuilt Geyuan on the former site of the Shouyi Garden in the Ming Dynasty. Huang Yuyun believes that the bamboo is solid, guilty, straight body, chaste, and has the style of a gentleman.

Because the shape of the three bamboo leaves is similar to the character "ge", it was named "geyuan" with the meaning of Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty's "The moon reflects the bamboo in thousands of characters". Su Dongpo once said: It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. Without meat, it makes people thin, and without bamboo makes people vulgar. It expresses the original meaning of the owner of the garden named after bamboo.

On the north gate of Geyuan, there are cursive couplets on both sides of the gate: the mountain lights are strange in spring, summer, autumn and winter; the wind, rain, dew and bamboo shadows are colorful. It refers to the different stacked stone scenery of Geyuan in four seasons and the origin of the name of Geyuan.

The overall layout adopts the traditional form of the classical garden front and back garden, and the garden is mainly made of bamboo and stone. The planting of bamboo is aimed at rich varieties, with thousands of poles and shapes, which is a grand view. The stacking of stones is characterized by the use of stones to divide peaks and use stones, and it is a unique four-season mountain, which is famous in the north and south.

On the wall at the entrance, there are Huang's family couplets, which are similar to family mottos. In addition, there are three luxury houses, with a magnificent and light-hearted sound, showing the luxurious atmosphere of a generation of salt merchants' home life. Due to the unique scenery and the ingenious composition, there is a unique and winding and profound state of fascinating in the sparse and openness.

The word "子" in the name of Geyuan is the most intriguing. Whether in dictionary or in language habits, "子" is used as a measure word, such as: a person, an apple. In fact, "子" originally meant "bamboo a pole". In the ancient book "Records of the Grand Historian" there is a saying that "bamboo is called gen, and wood is called mei".

This is not surprising, because Chinese characters are originally hieroglyphs, and doesn’t “光” look like the shape of bamboo leaves?

A great talented man and great poet Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty, said that "The moon reflects the bamboo in thousands of words, and the frost high plum is pregnant with flowers". The objects are vivid and the artistic conception is ethereal, which can be said to be deeply rooted in the charm of bamboo. In addition, Huang Zhiyun himself also used "Genyuan" as his nickname, and the man and the garden are united. It is meaningful.

In the garden, there are three-one bamboo houses, three-one stone houses, three-one human houses, three-one human houses, and three-one human houses. They are divided into chapters, and each plays a brilliant color, and they are combined into nature and become one after another. People, bamboo and stone are integrated, and the guest and host are difficult to distinguish. They are the most Yangzhou local characteristics of private residential gardens in Jiangnan.

When you enter the north gate, you will see thousands of bamboos cultivating. Bamboo is the essence of a garden. The soul of a garden. The first thing you need to see is bamboo. Huang Zhiyun loves bamboo and plants bamboos in the garden. Even the name of a garden comes from bamboo.

The cultivation of bamboo in Yangzhou has a long history. As early as Yao He's "Yangzhou Spring Ci" by the Tang Dynasty, it was written that Yangzhou people "have land but only carry bamboo, and no geese are raised without home." "Bamboo" has always been loved by Chinese literati, not only because the bamboo is elegant in posture and color is like jasper, but also because of its "righteous, humble, and honest" character.

Zhang Jiuling's poem says: "A person with high moral character is respected, and the world knows it"; Su Dongpo's poem says: "It is better to eat without meat than live without bamboo. Without meat, it makes people thin, and without bamboo makes people vulgar"; Banqiao's poem says: "A branch and a leaf are all related to feelings."

Geyuan built a "variety bamboo viewing area" in the north of the Four Seasons Rockery, gradually restoring the original historical appearance of "hundreds of species and tens of thousands of rods" of bamboo. It is currently the best bamboo viewing place in Yangzhou City. It covers a total area of ​​12,000 square meters, and there are more than 60 types of bamboo and nearly 20,000 rods.

There are areas such as Tushan bamboo forests, variety viewing, clear water pavilions, and bamboo beautiful places.

When it comes to classical gardens, you will naturally think of Suzhou. However, more than 200 years ago, the gardens in the ancient city of Jianghuai were better than Suzhou. As early as the Qing Dynasty, someone made such an evaluation of famous scenic spots in Jiangnan: "Xihu City wins with lakes and mountains, Suzhou wins with city simplicity, and Yangzhou wins with national pavilions." It can be seen that Yangzhou was famous for the beauty of gardens in the Jiangnan area at that time.

As early as the Han Dynasty, Yangzhou had large-scale garden-style buildings, and later innovated. By the Qing Dynasty, due to the development of handicrafts, commerce, transportation, and salt industries, coupled with Qianlong's six southern tours, Yangzhou gardens flourished rapidly.

However, many gardens have been damaged by wars many times in history. Now only one garden, such as He Guo, Xiaopangu and Houyechun Garden, survives.

Yangzhou is famous gardens, and famous gardens are stacked with stones. Geyuan is an urban forest with bamboo and stone as the main body and stones, and is characterized by the use of stones. Geyuan’s rockery adopts the method of splitting peaks and stacking stones, using different stones to express the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is known as the four-season rockery, and is the only lonely example of the national forest in China.

The plants in the garden are mainly bamboo. The landscaping materials that match the most are various strange peaks and stones, such as the exquisite Taihu stone peaks, thin and rugged stalagmites, etc. The combination of bamboo and stone forms a very distinctive bamboo and stone scene in the garden.

At the population of the garden, the gardener set up a group of small bamboo and stone scenery with ingeniousness, and clearly pointed out the theme of this garden with bamboo and stone as the center.

Watching bamboo in a garden is not only a pleasing aesthetic enjoyment, but also a profound and interesting science. Bamboo, it forms a special family in the plant world. In terms of plant taxonomy, bamboo belongs to the subfamily of the Poaceae family. According to records, there are about 50 genera and more than 1,300 species of bamboo plants around the world.

There are about 30 genera and more than 500 species of bamboo species naturally distributed in my country. They are divided into two categories: cluster and scattered. Yangzhou is located in the Jianghuai River and is suitable for scattered bamboo species and a few more cold-resistant cluster varieties.

There are more than 60 types in the garden, which can be divided into two types from the ornamental perspective: stalk and leaf viewing. Among the stalks, there are differences in shape and color. Such as turtlefish, square bamboo, snail-joint bamboo; Buddha-beard bamboo, Arhat bamboo, spicy leek-joint bamboo, high-joint bamboo, etc., which are unusual to appreciate their stalk shape.

Purple bamboo, yellow-skinned bamboo, yellow-skinned bamboo, small-qin silk bamboo, golden sage bamboo, golden-inlaid jade bamboo, flower-woven bamboo, golden-ming bamboo, yellow-skinned black chicken-feeding bamboo, flower-stalk chicken-feeding bamboo, spotted bamboo, tea-stalk bamboo, purple-puffed dianthus, etc. appreciate the stalk color.

Among the leaves, there are wide-leaf-shaped bamboo, narrow and long-leaf-shaped Daming bamboo, and white bamboo with various colors and stripes on the leaves. In addition, Yan bamboo, bud bamboo, bitter bamboo, red bamboo, Tang bamboo, goose bamboo, flat bamboo, spotted bitter bamboo and other scattered varieties can also be found in the garden.

Tortoiseshell is the most unique bamboo in the garden. It is a mutated variety of Nanzhu. It is a naturally grown mutated bamboo. Therefore, it is extremely rare and difficult to see in thousands of acres of bamboo forests. It is a rare ornamental bamboo species.

The segments of the tortoise shell are like turtle shells and dragon scales, concave and convex, orderly, hard and rough. Compared with other elegant and elegant bamboos, they are less weak and elegant, and more strong and firm. The nodes at the base of the stalk are continuously shortened and swollen, and are intersected and oblique, like to the shape of a tortoise. They symbolize health and longevity and blessings as well as the East China Sea.

Cixiao Bamboo, also known as Cixiao Bamboo, is grown in clusters. In summer, the new bamboo shoots are close to the old bamboo, as if they follow the ancient saying "My parents are here, don't travel far away." And the old bamboo cares carefully and supports Hsinchu against wind and rain, and grows safely. As Banqiao said, "Hsinchu is higher than the old bamboo branches, and it depends entirely on the old poles to support it."

Due to climate, there are fewer bamboos growing in the garden, only a few types of filial bamboo, phoenix tail bamboo and qin silk bamboo.

Among all bamboos, the most legendary and saddest thing is the spotted bamboo. Because it is closely linked to a beautiful and moving tragic story in our national legend. The green bamboo stalks show purple spots, like tears.

According to the "Baowuzhi" of Zhang Hua, a naturalist in the Jin Dynasty, the first emperor in Chinese history, Yao had two daughters, one was named Ehuang and the other was named Nuying. The two sisters married Emperor Shun, who inherited the throne, as concubines.

After Emperor Shun passed away, the sisters who lost her husband cried day and night, and tears turned into blood, and sprinkled on the bamboo. The grown bamboo was covered with spots from then on. People called it spots. Later, Ehuang and Niaoying's tears dried up and threw themselves into the Xiangjiang River. Legend has it that they became the goddess of Xiangshui, so spot bamboo is also called Xiangfei Zhu.

Spotted bamboo is a famous ornamental bamboo. In fact, from a biological point of view, the patterns of splotched bamboo should be made by fungi corroding young bamboos. However, people are more willing to believe that it is dyed by tears. The loyal love represented by "a splotched bamboo with thousands of tears" is always an infinite desire.

Jasper among the golden is the most common bamboo in the garden. This bamboo is beautiful in color and has lanceolate leaves, which is an excellent ornamental bamboo species. The bamboo stalks are golden with green stripes between the nodes, which is golden with jade; the bamboo stalks are green with yellow stripes between the nodes, which is golden with jade. It has extremely high ornamentality.

The winding paths are secluded and secluded, which is one of the aesthetic elements of Jiangnan gardens. The long and slender bamboo forest paths are better in reflecting the beauty of the garden artistic conception. Entering the bamboo ecological area, there is a path that is dozens of meters long through it, with bamboo shadows slanting, bamboo fragrances are quiet, and the light leaks out of the moon.

When you reach the end of the bamboo path, you can see a plaque on the door titled "The Best Place for Bamboo West". The origin of Bamboo West comes from the poem chanted by the poet Du Mu of the late Tang Dynasty, "Who knew that Bamboo West Road is Yangzhou, and sang and sang Yangzhou."

When we arrived at the Song Dynasty poet Jiang Kui, there was also the phrase "Huaizuo City, the Best Place for Bamboo West". Later, people used "Bamboo West" to refer to Yangzhou. "Bamboo West is the original meaning of the literal meaning, obviously reminding people: the bamboo scenery here is the best. If you think about it carefully, you will suddenly realize that the real bamboo beauty is on this bamboo forest trail. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
