Creation background

This article is the preface written by Ye Lao for a Suzhou garden album. At the beginning of 1979, a publishing house in Hong Kong planned to publish an album introducing Suzhou gardens, and asked Ye Lao to preface it. Ye Lao lived in Suzhou until he was 22 years old. In his spare time, he often visits Suzhou gardens with friends, and he has a deep understanding of the tastes and characteristics of Suzhou gardens. In writing this preface, he referred to Suzhou Gardens edited by Professor Chen Congzhou.

The preface was written and handed over to the publishing house in Hong Kong, but the album has never been published. The editorial department of Encyclopedia Knowledge knew that Ye Lao had such an article and asked them to publish it first, so this preface was published in the fourth issue of Encyclopedia Knowledge 1979. The last few words of the preface were deleted when it was published. When People's Education Publishing House incorporated it into Chinese textbooks, it also deleted the first paragraph of the preface, and the original title "I am deeply concerned about Suzhou gardens" was changed to "Suzhou gardens".
