Brief Introduction of Three Gardens 1. Canglang Pavilion

Canglang Pavilion, located in Canglang Pavilion Street in the south of Suzhou, is the oldest existing garden in Suzhou. Canglang Pavilion was originally a billiard hall for Qian Yuanlin, the king of Guangling, and my ambassador to Wujun. In the fifth year of the Northern Song Dynasty, the poet () moved to Wuzhong, bought the garden site for 40,000 yuan, and built the pavilion by the water. The name "Canglang" comes from the song "Canglang's water is clear, you can fill my tassel" in Mencius Li Lou and Songs of the South. The turbid water in the rough waves can satisfy my feet. Su Shunqin also wrote Canglang Pavilion, named Canglang Weng. Han Shizhong, a famous anti-gold star in Southern Song Dynasty, lived in Canglang Pavilion and was called "Hanyuan".

Second, the lion forest.

Garden Road in Loumennei, located in the northeast of Suzhou City, was built in the Yuan Dynasty and is the representative of gardens in the Yuan Dynasty. There are rockeries all over the park, surrounded by long corridors, towers looming, winding paths leading to a secluded place, and there is always a feeling of confusion. Lion Forest is rectangular in plane, with an area of about 10000 square meters. It is one of the representatives of Suzhou classical gardens, with the largest existing ancient rockery group in China and the reputation of rockery kingdom. The wall of the corridor is embedded with calligraphy plaques of four famous Song Dynasty artists, Su Shi, Mi Fei, Huang Tingjian and Cai Xiang, and inscriptions of plum blossom poems by Wen Tianxiang in the Southern Song Dynasty. Lion Grove used to be the back garden of Bodaiji. In 65438, Buddhist monk Tian Ru came to Suzhou to give a lecture, which was well received by his disciples. The following year, disciples bought land and a house to build a Zen forest for Zen master Tian Ru. Zen master Tian Ru learned his method from Lion Mountain in West Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province. In memory of his master, he named it "Lion Forest". It is also named after the word "lion roar" in Buddhist books. Many rockeries are shaped like lions.
