Please give me a guide to Suzhou Lion Forest. Urgent. . . . .

The Lion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou. It is located on Garden Road in the northeast of the city. It was built between the Yuan Dynasty and Zhengyuan Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. Source: China Inspirational Network ZhLzW.com This garden was built by Zen Master Tianru in the Yuan Dynasty to commemorate his teacher Zen Master Zhongfeng. The teacher with "Shi Zilin" on the forehead of the first gate is the teacher's teacher. Later, because there were many rockeries in the garden, shaped like lions, the writing was changed to Lion Forest, which is still used today. The three characters "Lion Grove" on the forehead of the ticket office were written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

When you enter the park, you can see a hall, which is the Bei Family Ancestral Hall. There is a plaque in the middle with the four words "Yunlin Yiyun" written by Gu Tinglong, praising Ni Yunlin, one of the designers of the Lion Grove Garden, for his quiet and elegant design. The wooden railings of the corridors on both sides are carved with patterns of peonies, phoenixes and longevity characters, and there are hanging screens with patterns of vases and bay leaves. Bay leaves are used for writing Buddhist scriptures, which not only reflects that Lion Grove is a place for Zen Buddhism, but also has commemorative significance, because the last owner of Lion Grove was named Bei. The ancestral hall is a place where ancestors are enshrined and sacrificed, and where tribesmen gather. On the roof are statues of the three gods Fu, Lu, and Shou and a child, which shows that the owner hopes that his descendants will be outstanding and honor their ancestors. Look at the bricks at the entrance of the corridor with the word "Chun Hua", which means the garden is full of spring. Please go forward. Now we have arrived at Yanyu Hall. Yanyu means peace and happiness. It comes from "The Book of Songs" "Shi Yan is well-known, but if you are good, you can't shoot". Please take a look at what the word is under your feet, yes! It is the word "Shou", with five bats on the side, which means five blessings for longevity. "Shou" is the first of the five blessings, so longevity is the center. It means that the owner of the garden wishes him and his family a long and healthy life, many children, peace and happiness. The building of this hall is the famous Yuanyang Hall in Suzhou gardens. The front is called the hall and the back is called the hall. The front hall is used to receive distinguished guests or male guests, while the back hall is used for gatherings of women's families. They are completely different in architectural style, reflecting the feudal ideology of male superiority and female inferiority.

We are now at the Small Square Hall, which is named after its square shape. Please look at the large empty windows on both sides, which make us feel like they are two pictures. The east window is full of wintersweet, and the west window is the urban forest. This is a gardening art technique in Suzhou gardens, called framed scenery. It can change the picture with the change of seasons and the movement of footsteps. We might as well give it a try.

In front is the Nine Lions Peak, which is made up of lake rocks and rockeries. If you look carefully, you will find nine lions in different shapes, which are cute and naive. There are 500 lions of different sizes and shapes in the Lion Forest. We will see many more lions in the future.

After passing through the round cave door with the word "shequ" (taken from Tao Yuanming's sentence "The garden is full of interest"), we arrived at Zhiboxuan. This is where monks give lectures. When the Zen master Cong Zhen (known as Zhaozhou Dharma) in the Tang Dynasty taught Zen Buddhism, no matter what his disciples asked him, he always said: "The cypress tree in front of the court", which meant that the Zen participants should understand the mysterious hints on their own. . Therefore, it was named Zhiboxuan. This is also where relatives of the Bei family gather. Hanging above the hall is a plaque titled "揖峰智cypress" written by Wang Tongyu. "Zhibai" refers to the Zen public case, and "斖峰" is an allusion to Mi Fu's sight of Shifeng in the Song Dynasty. The following is the "Shou Bai Tu" collaborated by famous calligraphers and painters in 1988. Zhang Xinjia painted red plums, Wu Mumu painted ancient cypresses, Xu Shaoqing painted lake rocks, and Fei Xinwo wrote the inscription. In front of the hall, there are many rockeries and cypress trees and dragons. Woyunbao is located in a rockery. This rockery is the most famous lake rockery in classical gardens. It has four mountain paths that are intertwined with each other and are intricate. Emperor Qianlong spent two hours wandering through it without moving out. . There is also a chessboard hole inside, which is said to be the place where Lu Dongbin and Tieguai Li played chess. There are famous stones such as Hanhui and Tuyue on the false peak. There are strange pines and cypresses growing between the cracks in the rocks, just like a beautiful landscape painting. Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong once painted and took photos here. Please take the time to take photos here.
