Beijing scenery: Yuanmingyuan

Yuanmingyuan, the garden of ten thousand gardens, was built in 1709 and named after Emperor Kangxi. The word Yuanming also has its connotation: round and fascinating, and the gentleman is also in the middle; When the light shines, the wisdom of talents is also. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, the original garden was expanded and added to the south of the garden.

Yuanmingyuan has experienced four disasters: fire robbery, wood robbery, stone robbery and cultural relics robbery. 1860 was burned by the British and French allied forces, which was the first fire robbery. When Eight-Nation Alliance was in 1900, China people's wooden robbery went to the Republic of China after 1990. Cultural relics robbery in every disaster is the fourth robbery.

I. Yuanmingyuan West Site June 2020806

The original plan of coming to the garden this time was only to appreciate the blooming lotus in Yuanmingyuan, which has made up for the shyness of the last lotus in bud. Unexpectedly, Hao Hao wanted to go to the western ruins and was satisfied.

The information in today's scene is: Hugo, Dashuifa, Haiyan Hall and Huanghua Array.

(1) Dashuifa and Guanshuifa sites

Dashui method, that is, the big fountain. The main attraction of the West Tower is the artificial fountain, which is called "water method", with a large number, great momentum and strange conception. There are three large fountains, Harmony and Curiosity, Haiyan Hall and Dashuifa, which are quite interesting and the essence of Chinese and Western cultures.

Dashuifa architecture looks like a stone niche and a doorway. There is a big lion head spraying water below, forming a seven-layer water curtain. There is an oval chrysanthemum fountain in front and back, and a bronze sika deer in the center of the pool. The antlers spray water eight times. Ten bronze dogs on both sides squirted water from their mouths and shot directly at the deer, splashing layers of waves. Commonly known as "hunting dogs for deer."

Water viewing method: the pedestal on which the emperor's throne is placed, the stone carving screen behind the throne, baroque stone gates (Bachiru Gate) on both sides, giant water towers and pools receiving water spray on both sides of the gate. All kinds of animals are placed in a semicircle beside the pool according to the situation, indicating games such as animal wars and deer races in the forest; According to the traditional timing method in China, the names of 12 animals represent 12 hours a day, and every 1 hour, 1 animal sprays water into the pool. Beast War and Water Bell View are architectural games in western architecture.

(2) Tang Haiyan Site

From the Yuanmingyuan Exhibition Hall to Haiyan Hall, the first 12 Zodiac fountains in the exhibition hall are all modeled after the 12 Zodiac of Haiyan Hall, so when you see the introduction of the 12 Zodiac fountain in Haiyan Hall site, you will have an overall impression.

In the exhibition hall, Hao Hao took his younger brother to count the zodiac and draw the zodiac one by one. The fountain spouts from the small mouth of the Chinese zodiac.

In Tang Haiyan, we are worried that there are no signs of the zodiac after burning. Only when the introduction talks about the zodiac scattered in museums all over the country, other things that are not mentioned may be destroyed or lost.

Haiyan Hall: The bronze statue of the head of the animal in the Chinese zodiac (the bronze statue of the head of the animal in Yuanmingyuan) is arranged in a figure of eight around the pool. Twelve hours every other day and night, the zodiac takes turns spraying water. At noon, twelve bronze statues were sprayed with springs at the same time. These bronze statues are designed by westerners and made in China, commonly known as "hydraulic clocks". This is the essence of Haiyan Hall complex: bronze sculptures of the zodiac are famous for telling the time with water.

Haiyan: It means "the river is clear and Haiyan, and the country is rich and the people are safe". Tang Zhengxi's "There is a Prince's Husband in Japan and China": "He is clear about the sea and prosperous when he was young" River, Yellow River; Yan, calm down. "Heqing Haiyan" is also called "Haiyan Heqing", which means that the Yellow River is clear and the sea is calm. This phrase is used to describe world peace and has auspicious meaning of praising world peace.

(3) huanghua town Site

In my impression, the child left once, and when he left for the second time, he was still full of curiosity. Finding the route to the maze is not that difficult.

The Yellow Flower Array, also known as the "Flower Array", was built in the Qianlong period to imitate the European maze (like the Versailles maze in Paris, France). It is divided into many mazes, which are rectangular in north and south, with a square pavilion in the middle, which means "the sky is round". The gate of the garden is bell-shaped, with two gates carved in brass. When it was popular, the Mid-Autumn Festival was held here on August 15. 1987 and 1989, original site "reconstruction".

The Yellow Flower Array is made up of a series of complex and changeable plant divisions, combined with fascinating traditional auspicious cartoon animals, such as bats (meaning: blessing), sika deer (meaning: Lu), cranes (meaning: longevity) and magpies (meaning: happiness), giving people a brand-new feeling.

The four umbrella trees inside are also the best shade places. Haohao will think of the umbrella trees in the botanical garden, but the momentum is different.

(4) Hugo statue-civilization and peace, justice and conscience, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Yuanmingyuan/KLOC-0.

On the book-shaped stone carving on the south side of the statue, Hugo strongly condemned 1860 for the looting of "Letter to Captain Butler" by the British and French allied forces.

(5) East Gate and Three Slopes:

At first, after the lotus bloomed in a hurry, the children were attracted by Sanpo, and I hurried to the east gate. .......

2. On June 28th, 2020, the black swan scenic spot at the east gate of Yuanmingyuan was spectacular with lotus flowers.

Today, children from barbizon came here to sketch, and for the first time, they felt that the lotus pond in Yuanmingyuan was so spectacular and vast. They have a quick glance at night, expecting to really enjoy the lotus flowers in Yuanmingyuan in midsummer next time.
