Nanxun's photographic works

One place you can't miss when you go to Nanxun Town is Xiaolianzhuang. Even people who have never been to Nanxun Town have heard of this small village, because its owner is Liu Yong, a wealthy businessman in Nanxun in the Qing Dynasty. Of course, don't confuse it with liuyong, the prime minister, who is talking about a businessman here.

Yes, Xiaolianzhuang is the private garden of Liu Yong, the richest man in Nanxun. Although after so many years, the huge wealth preserved by Liu Mansion is still surprising. Many people just want to see how rich the richest man in Nanxun is.

Xiaolianzhuang is one of the only well-preserved "five major buildings" in Nanxun Town. It is said that its owner appreciated the Huzhou Furong Garden built by Zhao Mengfu, a famous painter in Yuan Dynasty, so he gave his garden such a name. Xiaolianzhuang, founded in 1885, is a national key cultural relics protection unit. I don't know. This garden has been used by the Liu family for 40 years, and it took three generations of hard work. It was not built in Liuchenggan until 1924, so it was full of the hard work of Liu's generations.

As the ace attraction of Nanxun Town. Xiaolianzhuang is beautiful, elegant and outstanding, with exquisite garden design and winding paths everywhere. It's nice to come here to enjoy the lotus flowers in summer. To enjoy the lotus, you can go to a lotus pond covering an area of ten acres in the outer garden. In ancient times, it was called "hanging gourd pond", commonly known as "fish pond well" On a hot summer day, the fish is full of lotus, the wind is shaking, and the green leaves and safflower set off the pavilions of Chi Pan. It's really beautiful.

Xiaolianzhuang can be roughly divided into two parts, one is the garden area centered on the lotus pond, and the other is the building next to Liujiamiao. So we should focus on the Liujia Temple. There are two well-preserved royal archways in front of the family temple, which is a symbol of Liu's family status. There are royal archways, walls, stone lions and flags in front of the door. Jiamiao is a two-stroke system with three entrances. The first and second entrances are the foyer and the lobby respectively, where street signs, lights and other things are placed.

The quadrangle building in Xiaolianzhuang is really imposing and the layout is quite exquisite. When you come here, you can feel the majesty of a big family. Contemporary writers have compared it with Jia's ancestral hall in A Dream of Red Mansions, which shows that the scale of Liu's ancestral hall is rare in Jiangnan.

The main body of the inner garden (back garden) is the Taihu Rock rockery, which is modeled after the artistic conception of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's Walking the Mountain: "There are people in the depths of the white clouds. Stop and sit in the maple forest late, and the frost leaves are red in February. " For photographers, Xiaolianzhuang is the best scenic spot for Nanxun Town.
