Six Gardens in China

There are no six gardens in China, but there are six rockeries.

I. Lion Forest in Suzhou

Lion Forest is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou, with an area of about 15 mu. The rockery in the park is beautiful and interesting, and is known as the "rockery kingdom" by the world. Yu Yue, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, praised the Lion Forest for "five disasters but not enough, nine upstream and downstream but not all". Scout, a contemporary landscape expert, commented on the rockery in Lion Forest as "winding, winding and as confusing as palindrome". Shizilin rockery is the largest ancient rockery group in existing gardens in China, which has important historical and artistic value.

Second, Suzhou Huanxiu Mountain Villa

Huanxiu Mountain Villa is named after the rockery, and the rockery in the park is the best in China. This mountain was built by Ge, a famous Dieshan master in Qing Dynasty. Covering an area of only 0.033 hectares, it is less than 7 meters high, but it contains the momentum of steep mountains, steep peaks and anger, showing the mountain-shaped scenery such as flat mountains, steep peaks, muddy mountains, steep cliffs, hidden valleys and deep valleys, which is the epitome of mountains and rivers.

Three, Shanghai Yuyuan Garden "Yu Linglong"

Yu Garden is located in the northeast corner of the old city of Shanghai, covering an area of 2 hectares. 1982 is listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit. During the Jiajing Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Pan Yunduan, the owner of the garden, began to operate for more than 20 years. Taking the meaning of "happiness of old relatives", it was named Yu Garden. Yuyuan rockery "Yulinglong" is one of the three famous peaks in Taihu Lake in the south of the Yangtze River. Professor Chen Congzhou, a famous ancient architecture expert, praised it as "the essence of Yu Garden, the first rockery, and the best existing Huangshi in Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River."

Fourth, Yangzhou Geyuan

Yangzhou Geyuan was built in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, which was the private garden of Huang Zhijun, a salt merchant in Huaihe River Basin at that time. There are many kinds of bamboo in the garden, and the owner of the garden likes bamboo very much. He thinks bamboo is solid, guilty, straight, chaste and has the style of a gentleman. Bamboo leaves are shaped like the word "Ge", hence the name "Ge".

Geyuan is famous for its exquisite rockery. Stone-piling craftsmen in the park choose brown yellow stone, Taihu stone, snow stone and bamboo shoots to pile up four groups of rockeries showing the scenery of the four seasons, which are called four-season rockeries.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Nanjing Zhanyuan

Zhanyuan was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 600 years. Originally the Wu Palace before Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, it was later given to Xu Da, the founding hero of the junior high school in Ming Dynasty. Up to now, there is a treasure of the town house-the tiger monument in the garden, which can be called "a century-old monument, the best in the world". It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang gave it to Xu Da, a tiger who made contributions to the Qing Dynasty after he proclaimed himself emperor. Sun Yat-sen Palace was changed to Jiangning General Secretariat, and the garden was changed from private garden to administrative garden. Nanjing, 1853, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was once the East Palace of East Wang Yang.

Exhibition garden is a famous rockery garden, with an area of only 8 mu, and rockery accounts for 3.7 mu. The exhibition garden is divided into three groups: Heather Mountain, North Stone Mountain and Xixi Stone Mountain. All Taihu stones are piled up, exquisite and large in area. This is really great.

Sixth, Beijing Beihai Park meditation room.

Beihai is a model of ancient royal gardens in China. As a famous garden in Beihai, Jingxinzhai occupies a high position in the history of China garden art.

Zen room rockery pays attention to "thinness, transparency, leakage and wrinkle", and its shape is not strange or ugly. However, it is these Taihu stones, which are like phoenix, ghost, beast, flying dragon and moving like a flash, which have been skillfully arranged and carefully piled up by landscape artists and architects and become "like mountains and obstacles" and become the aesthetic objects full of natural feelings that people like in three-dimensional landscape painting. The ugliness of architectural art is reflected in the contrast of its beauty. Rockery rocks with elegant and exquisite pavilions and other garden buildings as the background actually reflect the contrast between coarse and fine, ugly and beautiful.
