Tour Guide Words of Liyuan Scenic Spot in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province

Introduction: Liyuan is located on the beautiful lakeside of Lihu Lake in Wuxi, and it is one of the main attractions of the national key scenic spot "Taihu Lake". It covers an area of 123 mu, of which the water area is about two fifths, and it is famous for its waterscape. Lihu Lake, formerly known as Wuhu and Wuli Lake, is said to have been here by boat with doctors and beauties from the State of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period. This lake is named after people, and this garden is named after the lake. In the early years of the Republic of China, Yu Xunzhen, a native of Qingqi Village, built eight scenic spots on the lakeside, known as the "beautiful area".

Ladies and gentlemen, the scenic spot we are going to visit now is the pear garden. Liyuan is 0/0 km away from Wuxi urban area/kloc-and is located in Qingqi Village, the front bank of Hubei Province. It is a water town garden in the south of the Yangtze River, which is famous for "piling up rockeries and skillfully borrowing real water".

A brief history of Liyuan: the origin of the name-the history of creation-the distribution of scenic spots

Liyuan, named after Lihu Lake, was originally named "Wuli Lake", which is an inner lake on the northeast bank of Taihu Lake, covering an area of 9.5 square kilometers. According to legend, more than 2,000 years ago, Fan He, a doctor of the State of Yue, became famous for helping the King of Yue destroy Wu and lived here with his teacher. Later generations called Wuli Lake, which rowed in the same year, "Lihu Lake", hence the name Liyuan.

Liyuan was founded in the early Republic of China. At that time, Yu Xunzhen, a native of Qingqi Village, planted willows and lotus roots on the shore of Lihu Lake, and then built a dike to surround the ridge, building the Mao Ting, which formed the "Eight Scenes of Qingqi" such as "Xiangxue in Meibu", "Xiao Chun in the south dike" and "fish watching in Quyuan" and established a "beautiful area with beautiful scenery"

1927, another person from Qingqi Village, Wang Yuqing, returned to his hometown after making a fortune in flour business in Shanghai. On the basis of the "Seven or Eight Scenery in Qing Dynasty", he dug 30 mu of land, dug ponds to divert water and piled stones as peaks, which took three years to build a pear garden. 1930, another builder in Taiyuan, Chen Meifang built another garden next to the pear garden. According to the rumor that Fan Li and the villagers raised fish here, it was named "fishing village" and claimed to be better than Liyuan because it was named "Sai Liyuan". 1936, Wang Kangyuan, the son of Wang Yuqing, built a pavilion and Ningchunlou in the middle of the lake respectively. After liberation, the Wuxi municipal government carried out a comprehensive renovation on 1952, and built a thousand-step corridor between Taiyuan and Yuzhuang, thus connecting the two countries into one, collectively known as Liyuan. 1978 A new garden was built on the east side of the promenade, forming the present scale.

Taiyuan now covers an area of 1.23 mu, of which the water surface accounts for more than 40%. The whole park is divided into four scenic spots: Baihua Mountain House, Moonlight Overlooking, Xiao Chun in the south embankment and Four Seasons Pavilion in the east; There are thousands of miles of promenades, lake pavilions and Ningchun Pagoda in the west. There are rockeries and lotus defenses in the middle; New attractions such as the Spring and Autumn Pavilion have been built.

Liyuanmen-Baihua Mountain Residence

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now at the gate of Liyuan, which was converted from the gate of the original fishing village. The entrance is an open hall of 90 square meters, and the right wall is engraved with the landscape of the pear garden. Go through the dark corridor and the Moon Cave Gate, cross the rockery barrier, and see the lake stones and rockeries piled up on the right, which is the famous Baihua Mountain House. Built in 1934, it is a floor-to-ceiling window with various patterns carved. The hall is furnished with antique furniture, and plantains and palms are planted behind the house. Painted murals are painted on the walls of the cloister of Baihua Mountain House, which vividly shows the main experience of Shi's life with the story of Shi as a clue. One of the four beauties in ancient China was from Zhuji, Zhejiang. During the wuyue War, Fan He, a counselor of the State of Yue, set a "honey trap" for Gou Jian, the king of Yue, and presented the Xi stone to Fu Cha, the king of Wu, which made Fu Cha indulge in debauchery and eventually died.

From the cloister to the front, the second floor building is "Jinzhuo Building".

Rockery Group-Lian Fang -Xi Er Quan-Guilin Tianxiang

Rockery array is the main feature of Taiyuan Scenic Area. When Chen Meifang built a fishing village on 1930, he built a rockery group with Taihu Stone, which was designed and built by Jiang Zi, a native of Dongyang, Zhejiang. When I came to the rockery, I only felt that the peaks and turns, winding and circling, and being in it was like entering a maze. The construction of rockery enriches the contents of gardens, increases the wild interest of mountains and forests, and separates the space of scenic spots. These rockeries are all engraved with the word "cloud", including cloud nests, cloud feet, clouds, clouds, cirrus clouds, returning clouds, leaving clouds and so on. The highest point of the rockery is Guiyun Cave, which is12m high. You can overlook the whole park from here. When we come here, do we have a feeling that we don't know Yun Shenchu in this mountain? Although the rockery is small, it has unique scenery. There are pavilions, ponds, streams, curved bridges and stalagmites beside the rockery group, and there are all kinds of precious flowers and trees, which have a great view of Huijilan Pavilion.

The largest building in the rockery group is "Lianhang". Built in 1930, it faces the pond on three sides and is connected with the bank protection on one side. It is divided into three cabins: the front cabin is a long French window, the middle cabin is decorated with low-wall flower windows, and the rear cabin is separated by a powder wall railing. Navigation is a boat-shaped building built in the garden lake, mainly for people to stop and watch the water features when sightseeing. Most gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are centered on water, and pear gardens are built near Taihu Lake. Therefore, Chen Meifang built this lotus boat between rockeries, so that tourists would not row in the water, but felt like they were on a boat, which fully reflected the gardener's intention.

After visiting the lotus, we walked south along the stone road. There is a spring well about one meter in diameter in front of us, and the surrounding rocks are auricle-shaped. This is the famous "Ear Wash Spring". The big stone by the spring looks like a lion and seems to be guarding the spring. Look at the lake stones on both sides of the stone road by these springs. If tourists carefully identify it, they can see the animal form of 12 zodiac. There is the word "diving fish" on the stone bridge across the stream. The scenery here is picturesque, and we have to admire the ingenuity of the gardeners.

We bypassed the rockery and came to a suddenly enlightened scenic spot. There are dozens of ancient osmanthus trees planted on the flat land here, which are lush and fragrant, hence the name "Guilin Tianxiang". If you come here for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will definitely feel the interest of "fragrant clouds floating outside and cinnamon falling in the middle of the month".

Jiuxu Pavilion-Four Seasons Pavilion-Job Pingdiao-Kongjie Bridge

Walk out of the rockery and cross the stone arch bridge of Yuelao Pavilion. The pavilion you see in front is the "Han Pavilion". This pavilion used to be in the east of Liyuan, and it was moved here when the fishing village was built. The original pavilion is divided into eight sides, with low walls and long lattice windows. 1958 when decorating, the flower window and the low wall were removed, making it open now. In 1983, there is also a statue of "Xi Shi Huan Sha".

In front of Han Xuting is the Four Seasons Pavilion. Although these four pavilions have the same appearance, their meanings are very profound. They represent the four seasons of the year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The Four Seasons Pavilion was built in 1954, with a unique shape and leaning against the top of the mountain pavilion. The handrails on three sides of the pavilion are called "Beauty Leaning", and the top of the pavilion is decorated with aquatic plants-lotus, lotus leaf and lotus flower. In ancient China, aquatic plants were regarded as mascots, which could avoid fire. So how do you distinguish these four pavilions? Look at the plants planted next to the pavilion first: plum blossoms and spring flowers are planted next to the spring pavilion; Plant oleander next to the summer pavilion; Planting osmanthus next to the autumn pavilion; Planting wintersweet beside the winter pavilion. Second, look at the location of the Four Seasons Pavilion. Wuxi is located by the sea, with a low latitude and a subtropical climate. The four monsoon directions of spring, summer, autumn and winter are mainly the east, south, west and north wind, so the location of the Four Seasons Pavilion is determined to be east, south, west and north.

There is a better name for the Four Seasons Pavilion, which was publicly collected and selected in Wuxi Daily 1980. They are: the Spring Pavilion is called Hongyi, the Summer Pavilion is called Didi Cui, the Autumn Pavilion is called Drunk Yellow, and the Winter Pavilion is called Bai Yin.

In the southwest corner of the pear garden, a "hexagonal pavilion" is built near the lake, which is the most beautiful scenery of the pear garden. It has a cornice and a red column and green tile. Because there are cranes on the top of the pavilion, it is also called "Xianhe Pavilion". 1958 was demolished and replaced with the present gourd pyramid roof. There are 12 wooden beams at the top, which are connected by arches and carved with 60 golden phoenix. Every five phoenixes are led by Yi Long, and Yi Long plays pearls in the middle, so it is also called "Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion". 198 1 year, a plaque inscribed by Wuxi painter Ni Xiaojin was hung in the center of the pavilion. Standing in the pavilion, you can overlook Wuli Lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the lake, so it is also called "looking at the lake".

Ladies and gentlemen: If we take a boat trip to Lihu Lake here, we can overlook the Jie Bao Bridge in the distance, which was sacrificed by Rong Desheng when 1934 celebrated his 60th birthday. The bridge is 375 meters long, 5.6 meters wide and 7.7 meters high. There are 60 bridge opening under the bridge, symbolizing Rong Desheng's 60th birthday. Because this bridge is at the foot of Xiebao Mountain, it is named "Jie Bao Bridge" and because it is the longest bridge in Wuxi, people also call it "Long Bridge".

In the south is Chunxiao-Qianbu Promenade-dark red and smoky green-Ningchun Pagoda.

In front of the "Wanghuting" is the "South Embankment". It is 200-300 meters long. In the early 1930s, Yu Xunzhen planted peach trees and willow trees here, which was called "Dawn on the South Embankment" and became the first of the "Seven or Eight Scenery in Qing Dynasty". Today, there are more than 300 willow trees and more than 600 peach trees here. Every spring, more than ten varieties of peach blossoms, such as red peach, purple peach, imported golden peach and double-petal white peach, compete to open and compete with each other, dotted here.

Along the south embankment to the east, through the rockery cave, there is a small patio, with Muxiang tree on the left and Wisteria tree on the right, and then through the Moon Cave Gate, which is the promenade. The promenade is 289 meters long, also known as the "Thousand Steps Promenade", which was built in 1952. It not only connects Laoli Lake and fishing village, but also forms a unique landscape. One side of the promenade faces Lihu Lake, and the other side is a long fence. There are more than 80 leaking windows on the wall, and all kinds of patterns are made of blue tiles. If you look closely, you will find that each pattern is different and unique. There are 38 brick carvings on the east side of the promenade, which are the works of Su Dongpo, Mi Fei, Wang Shouren and others, and were embedded in 1928 when it was built. Benches are set on the side of the whole promenade near the water, which can not only decorate the veranda, but also provide a place for tourists to rest and enjoy the scenery by leaning against the railing. Let people truly appreciate the artistic conception of "the corridor surrounded by mountains and waters".

At the eastern end of the yubu promenade, the pavilion in the middle of the lake is connected with the promenade through the trestle. The pavilion in the center of the lake adopts the building structure of flat bridge culvert, which extends into the lake about 50 meters. It was built by Wang Kangyuan at 1935. The whole pavilion is rectangular, with upturned cornices and open on all sides, with golden glazed tiles at the top and yellow frame materials at the bottom. One wall is carved with murals of Jia Hu's story; On the other side, there is a "clear red and smoky green" plaque, which shows that the scenery of Wuli Lake is changeable at four o'clock, so it is also called "dark red and smoky green". Separated from the Hu Xin Pavilion by water is the Ningchun Pagoda, which is about several meters high, with five octagonal floors, red bricks and blue tiles, small and exquisite, and combines Chinese and Western styles. This is a famous scenic spot in Liyuan.

Wanjin-Chunqiu Hall

Now when we return from the front porch, we can see that at one end of the porch, there is a unique building, which is connected with the porch. It is half a porch and half a pavilion, so it is called "half a pavilion". Wanjin is an extension of the front corridor, connecting Liyuan New District and playing a transitional role. This is also the best place to see the Spring and Autumn Museum.

Tourist: The three-story building in front is the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, which was built at 1978. Let's take a walk near the pavilion. Please have a look: this building on the top of a hill with a single eaves stands at the top of the whole garden, adding many levels to the architecture in Taiyuan. Under the eaves hung the horizontal plaque of "Spring and Autumn Pavilion", which was inscribed by the famous painter Liu Haisu. The name of the pavilion is taken from the story of Fan Mai and Shi in the Spring and Autumn Period. Tourist: There is a cloister in the museum overlooking it. At the bottom of the pavilion, there is also a large mural "boating with the teacher" for viewing. Please board the Spring and Autumn Pavilion with me and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the pear garden from the commanding heights!
