What is the origin of Jiaxiu Building?

During the Wanli period (1573- 1620), Governor Jiang Dongzhi built a dike here to connect the two banks, and built a building to cultivate geomantic omen, which was called "Jia Xiu", meaning "Jia Xiu Ting Xiu", hence the name Jia Xiu Lou.

Jiaxiulou has been rebuilt five times since ancient times, and it has changed every time. Three of them were overhauls. It was the officials at that time who overthrew the style of Jiaxiulou set by the former officials according to their own understanding of architecture and personal preferences.

The last reconstruction of Jiaxiu Building was a fire in Xuantongyuan, and it was also rebuilt after the fire in 1909, which laid the foundation for the pyramid-shaped roof at the four corners of Jiaxiu Building today.

The building is 22.9 meters high, with flying angle, 65,438+02 stone pillars and eaves, protected by white carved stone railings, standing upright, with smoke windows and water islands, as in the picture. When you climb the building, you can see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Fuyu Bridge, like a white dragon lying on the waves, is more than 90 meters long, passing downstairs and connecting the two sides. There is Hanbi Pavilion on the bridge, Hanbi Lake and Shuitai under the bridge, and Cuiwei Pavilion in the south of the bridge, which echoes from afar.

Jiaxiulou is divided into three parts: the first part is Fuyu Bridge, the second part is the main building of Jiaxiulou, and the third part is Cuiwei Garden. There is a stone and wood archway at the bridge head of Fuyu Bridge. In the middle of the archway, there are four characters of "relics in the south of the city", and there is "Hanbi Pavilion" on the bridge. Cuiwei Garden is an ancient architectural complex in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which consists of Gongnan Pavilion, Cuiwei Pavilion and Longmen Academy.
