The Historical and Cultural Background of Yiyuan in Anyang

Anyang is the birthplace of Zhouyi, and 20 kilometers south of Anyang is the place where Zhou Wenwang performed Zhouyi.

In order to highlight the regional characteristics and show the profound ancient capital culture, at the beginning of the design of Yiyuan Garden, the main water surface in the garden was designed in the shape of Taiji diagram, and the ancient Zhouyi culture was combined with the construction of modern ecological leisure park, so Anyang East Garden was named Yiyuan Garden. Combine the past and the present. Therefore, among the many names recommended by the general public, the park chooses Yiyuan as its name, which is worthy of its name.

As one of the eight ancient capitals of China and a national historical and cultural city, our city has rich cultural heritage. Relying on the accumulation of history and culture and adhering to the light of modern civilization, the art garden is a great freehand brushwork of "culture" Her completion and opening up will be of great significance to the strategy of "revitalizing the city with culture" being implemented in our city. Specifically, it can be summarized as two points: the first point is the inheritance of history and culture. The Book of Changes is the Book of Changes, and "King Wen made the Book of Changes". During his imprisonment, he translated Fuxi Eight Diagrams into 8864 hexagrams, which contained philosophical thoughts that influenced China for more than 3000 years and will continue to influence China. The main water system of Yiyuan Garden is designed as Yin-Yang fish, aiming at expounding the thought of Yijing and inheriting Zhouyi culture.

Yi Garden is changeable, and its change and development is a main ideological thread that runs through Yi culture. I ching said that "poverty leads to change, and change leads to communication". When we visit Yiyuan Garden, we can appreciate the development, inheritance and evolution of China traditional culture, and think about the movement and development of everything in the universe, as well as the contradiction, interdependence and unity of opposites among things. The second point is the spread of modern culture. As a popular science education base for teenagers, Yiyuan Culture Exhibition Hall will spread excellent and advanced culture to tourists, especially teenagers. Every plant in Yiyuan is wearing a special ID card, which indicates the name, habit and origin of the plant. This will be a good textbook for popularizing botany knowledge. In addition, the performance stage built in the park will become an important place for amateur cultural performances. All these will play a powerful role in promoting the implementation of the strategy of "revitalizing the city with culture" in our city.
