Who built Qinghuiyuan?

In 1570, Huang Shijun was born in Shunde Xingtan Ganzhu right beach a family of books.

Legend has it that in 1607, when Huang Shijun sat for the imperial examination, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Wanli emperor wrote a couplet that read, "Sweeping the leaves to cook tea, and the crab's eye floats in the smoke of the precious tripod. And has always been diligent and sensitive Huang Shijun to "leaning on the pine libation, the golden cup in the shadow of the dragon scales". So the "dragon face", point for the scholar.

In this way, Guangdong Shunde county since the birth of the first scholar, which at the time was a shocking event. Not only local officials went to Shunde Xingtan Ganzhu right beach to congratulate the 31-year-old scholar Huang Shijun, ten miles and eight villages of neighbors are scrambling to go to congratulate, and some even bring their children together, hoping to dip this scholar's joy.

In 1621, Huang Shijun resigned from the government to avoid the world, honoring his father's will to honor his ancestors, in the south gate of Shunde City, at the foot of the Fengshan Mountain, the former Taigong, which is the southern suburb of Daliang Qinghui Road, built the Huang Family Ancestral Hall and Tianzhang Pavilion, and the Pavilion of the Ling'a, for the father's rest and rejuvenation. At that time, there were gardens around these ancestral halls and pavilions, which were the predecessors of the later Qinghui Garden.

In 1630, Huang Shijun, who was already a minister of the Ministry of Rites, resigned from his post and returned home to serve his sick father. 1636, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Yujian summoned Huang Shijun to join the court again and became the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Later, he successively served as the Crown Prince, but also once into the cabinet as a Zaifu, leading the Crown Prince, and Wen Yuange University, into the cabinet to participate in the affairs of the machine.

Huang Shijun 30 years, there is no great achievements, no bad behavior, but because of his profound knowledge, hard work, fairness, and thus gained a "clean" reputation.

According to legend, Huang Shijun in the Ming Dynasty at the time of the demise of the usual all the zhangzhang, writings cast one of the torch burned, and in the mansion of the garden to live in a high building, feet do not go downstairs to the death of the Qing dynasty does not step on the land, in order to show loyalty to the Ming room. After a few years, he died in the pavilion at the age of 85.

Time went by, and by the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty, the Huang family had already declined, and at that time, another scholar from Shunde, the 21st Long Yingshi of the local Long's Bijianhai branch, after he passed the examination for the jinshi (scholarly examination) in 1751, he bought the abandoned Tianzhang Pavilion and Ling'ah's Pavilion from the descendants of the scholar-apprentice. Only the front seat of Huang Shijun's ancestral ancestral shrine of Huang Lanpu Gong remains.

After the home was returned to the Long family, Long Yingshi passed on the purchased Huang ancestral hall and other properties to

his sons, Long Tinghuai and Long Tingzi, and later, when the brothers Long Tinghuai and Long Tingzi split up the family, the middle part of the courtyard went to Long Tinghuai, while the left and right sides were acquired by Long Tingzi.

Long Ting-chi made his own style after acquiring the left and right parts of the courtyard, and converted them into gardens with mainly living rooms, which were called "Long Tai-chang's Garden" and "Chu Hsiang's Garden" respectively.

Afterwards, the heir of Long Taichang Garden's family fell into poverty and sold Long Taichang Garden to a local silk merchant Zeng Qiuqiao, whose son Zeng Dong later operated the silkworm business here and put up the signboard of "Guangdao", so it was also called "Guangdao Garden".

Long Dong, a great silk merchant, was also known as "Guangyuan".

Long Yingshi's eldest son, Long Tinghuai, in 1788 passed the examination for the jinshi, was a Hanlin compiler, and successive officials Zuochunfang Zanshan, the supervision of the Imperial Household and other posts. Long Tinghuai obtained the center part of Huang's old garden, and after he had no intention to return to his official position, he returned to his hometown in 1800 and expanded the inherited part of the garden, and served his aged mother to stay there, and read books in the middle of the day.

In 1806, after the completion of the expansion of the courtyard, Long Tinghuai and asked the same scholar, Jiangsu calligrapher Li Zhaoluo inscribed the name of the garden "Qinghui", meaning "who said that an inch of grass heart, to repay three spring sunshine," to show that the garden to serve his mother is to repay his parents as the grace of the daylight and warm illumination. and warm illumination of parents. This is also the origin of the name of the garden.

Later, Long Tinghuai's son, Long Yuanren, was taught by his father and became a scholar at a young age. Thus, the Long family not only became the most prestigious family in Daliang, Shunde, for more than a hundred years, but also "three scholars from the same family" became a favorite story of the people in this area for more than a hundred years.

In order to build Qinghui Garden, Long Yuanren and the last generation of Long's master, Long Zhuhui, led the designers and craftsmen to Suzhou to learn the essence of gardening in the south of the Yangtze River. The Flower Pavilion in the garden was once blown down by a gale, and it was also rebuilt by Long Zhuhui in 1888. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Qinghui Garden had formed a complete Lingnan garden style under the careful construction of several generations of the Long family.

During the Qing Dynasty, Ching Hui Yuan was a charming resort with the combination of Ming and Qing cultures, Lingnan ancient garden architecture, Jiangnan garden art and Pearl River Delta water town characteristics, which is a picturesque, dreamlike and fairytale-like place.
