When is the best time to play in Taohuayuan?

The best time for Peach Blossom Garden: Changde has four distinct seasons, pleasant climate in spring and autumn, hot in summer and cold in winter. As the most famous local scenic spot is the Peach Blossom Garden, you can see the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms in Changde in spring.

Peach Blossom Garden is a household name in China, and the "Xanadu" written by Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is even more famous in the world. Where is the prestigious Peach Blossom Garden? The authoritative reference book Cihai clearly pointed out in the explanation of the entry "Taoyuan Mountain" that Taoyuan Mountain is in the southwest of Taoyuan County, Hunan Province. There is Taoyuan Cave, also known as Qinren Cave and Baima Cave, which is the site of Taohuayuan recorded by Tao Yuanming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As early as 2000 BC, Peach Blossom Garden has long been a scenic spot with quiet scenery and beautiful forests and valleys.

According to legend, in the ancient Tang and Yao dynasties, Mr. Shanjuan lived in seclusion for dozens of miles away, and was dependent on Peach Blossom Garden and Water (Yuanjiang) in Changde Waste Mountain (now Deshan). This venerable hermit gave way to the world in Yu Shun, bringing culture and civilization to xiang yuan. Therefore, people call the mountain where he lives in seclusion "Deshan", so the folks have the saying that "Changde Deshan has virtue". In his later years, Mr. Shanjuan went to Xupu via Peach Blossom Garden, lived in Lufeng Mountain, and then moved to Judah, often traveling back and forth between the two places, influencing and educating the people in the southern wasteland. During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, it belonged to Baipu.

During the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Chengwang made a vassal and named Xiong Yi Zi Chu. Chu is a viscount, surnamed Xiong, so he is called "Xiong Chu". Chu is in the southern wilderness, and Wang Hua is beyond his reach, so he can expand his territory without authorization. So Zi Chu invaded Baipu and changed this area to "the middle of Guizhou", and the Peach Blossom Garden was in the middle of Guizhou. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Chu Ping (reigned 528-5 16) built Cailing City in Taoyuan County. Judging from the excavation site of Cailing City (Huang Chucheng), although Taohuayuan area belongs to the southern wasteland, it was developed earlier and its culture was quite developed.

Huang Xie, one of the four sons of the Warring States, was first sealed in Wuling, and once managed this area to become a state of etiquette. In addition, the Taohuayuan area later became a refuge of the Qin Dynasty. In the 3rd century BC, Chu Quyuan, a great patriotic poet, was exiled to the south of the Yangtze River by the king. He followed the footsteps of Shan Juan and wandered around Yuanjiang for a long time. "The boat returns to Yuan, but the nation will be defeated" (Shejiang) and "Yuan Youlan" (Li Sao) are all portrayal of his life. He started from Waste Zhu (Deshan), went back to Yuanjiang River, crossed Taohuayuan to Chenyang, and finally stayed in Xupu for a long time.

Now Changde also has San Lv Bridge and San Lv Lane named after his official position. He inherited and developed Chu culture. During his long exile, he sang everywhere, created Sao-style literature, inherited the elegance of the country, absorbed the folk songs of Chu Feng, and made him unique, becoming the originator of southern literature and the first great poet in China. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, the land of today's Peach Blossom Garden was included in Qianzhong County. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Qianzhong County was changed to Wuling County, which governed 13 County, including southwest Hubei, west of Yuanjiang River Basin in Hunan, east Guizhou, Sanjiang in Guangxi and Longsheng. Taohuayuan is located in Linyuan County, Wuling County, which was then called Aconitum Village.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (48), the general Ma Yuan had been stationed in Wutou Village. Today, there are still the "Stone House in Ma Yuan" where he spent his summer vacation and the "Yingpanzhou" where he once set up accounts. His soldiers suffered from the plague, and the local people offered "Sansheng soup" (that is, tea scraps) to cure the plague for the soldiers. Therefore, the legend of smashing tea and the custom of entertaining guests with smashing tea have always remained in this area of Taohuayuan. In the following two years, that is, in the twenty-sixth year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuannan County belonged to Wuling County and Taohuayuan belonged to Yuannan County. The Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Peach Blossom Garden all belong to Yuannan County, Wuling County. It was in this historical stage of the Jin Dynasty (from the middle of the 3rd century BC to the beginning of the 5th century BC) that the Peach Blossom Garden, a scenic spot with mountains and rivers, began to have buildings. Chen Hongmo's Records of Jiajing Changde in Ming Dynasty recorded: "The scenery of Taoyuan was built by Jin people." Taoist temple was built on Taoyuan Mountain, hence the name Taoyuan View.

The mountain name "Taoyuan Mountain" existed before the Jin Dynasty. "Taoyuan Mountain" is the source of peach blossom or the mountain where peach blossom originated. It is a place with dense peach forest and colorful peach blossoms. In the second year of Song Yongchu in the Southern and Northern Dynasties (42 1), Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote a poem preface to the Peach Blossom Garden, which described an ideal kingdom without disputes, exploitation and oppression, ample food and clothing, and happiness. This is not only a portrayal of the situation in Taohuayuan at that time, but also reflects the people's yearning for peace, tranquility and a happy and beautiful life. It also reflects people's protest and hatred against the dark society.

Tao Yuanming was deeply influenced by Confucianism and Taoism since childhood. Therefore, in his masterpiece "Poetry of Peach Blossom Spring", there are both Confucian ideals of "great harmony in the world" and Taoist thoughts of "small country with few people". Tao Yuanming inherited Chu culture and Qu Yuan's "Chu style". After the publication of Poetry of Peach Blossom Garden, it broke ground and made Peach Blossom Garden famous all over the world. In reality, Taoyuan Mountain, Taoyuanguan, Taohua Mountain and Taochuan (the Yuanjiang section near Taoyuan Mountain) became famous in one fell swoop.

Cherish the peach garden view, and the soldiers were destroyed at the end of Sui Dynasty. However, the beautiful Taoyuan Mountain and Taohua Mountain are still blooming along the endless Taochuan River, and the Peach Blossom Garden outlined by Mr. Tao Lao is deeply engraved in the hearts of the world. At present, Wuling County is abolished and changed to Langzhou. The three counties of Linyuan, Yuannan and Hanshou are Wuling County, and Taohuayuan belongs to Wuling County. In the Tang Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden was well protected and developed.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, around 730 AD, the imperial court built Xuanyuan Temple in various places, rebuilt the peach blossom view of Taohuayuan, and exempted the corvee of 20 farmers nearby for sweeping graves. In the seventh year of Tianbao (748), on May 13th in summer, 30 nearby households were exempted from taxes, which was always used for patrolling the mountains and guarding the town. In the eighth year of Dali (773), Qu Baiting, a Taoist priest in Taoyuan, emerged, and later generations built an altar in Taoyuan Mountain (because it is said that Qu Baiting left eight footprints at the rising place of Dengxian) and Quxian Pavilion.

In the second year of Zhong Jian (78 1), the buildings in Taohuayuan, mainly Taoist temples, have reached a certain scale, and the downhill boundary range is determined by the government. According to Di Zhongli's "Notes on Mountain View in Taoyuan" written in the first year of Huichang (84 1), "It is seven miles wide in the east, nine miles long in the north, four Luo streams in five miles in the east, water streams in two miles in the west and obstacles in the south. Du Guangting, a Taoist priest in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, wrote in his Paradise in the Cave: "The 35-hole Taoyuan Mountain, which travels 70 miles a week, is called Baima Xuanguang Day, in Wuling County, Langzhou. "In the Tang Dynasty, Peach Blossom Garden entered the initial period of prosperity.

Especially in the early years of Yuanhe (807), the famous writer Liu Yuxi relegated Sima Lang to visit the Peach Blossom Garden from time to time, inscribed "Jia Zhi of Taoyuan" and carved a tablet. After that, Taoyuan Mountain, Taoyuan Cave, Taoyuan View, places of interest left by Jin Dynasty and the original site of Peach Blossom Garden written by Mr. Liu Yuxi were yearned for and explored by bureaucrats, literati, Taoists and even the people. In the 12th year of Yuanhe (8 17), TaoyuanTaoist Chen Tongwei and Taoist friend Wang Zhiyan begged Wuling Governor Gan Wei to change the Guantu shrine in Taoyuan into a stone shrine and set aside many buildings to make the Peach Blossom Garden more attractive.

Due to the far-reaching influence of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden poems, almost all famous poets, writers, officials and Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty yearned for and praised Taoyuan Mountain, Taoyuan Cave and Taoyuan View. According to historical records, there are as many as forty or fifty Tang Dynasty celebrities who left poems in Taohuayuan, including Meng Haoran, Zhang Xu, Wang Changling, Wang Wei, Li Bai, Liu Changqing, Han Yu, Wang Jian, Liu Yuxi, Du Mu, Li Qunyu and Zhang Jie. In the Song Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden was greatly developed and restored, and it became the heyday in history. In the first year of Gande, Song Taizu (963), the court separated the middle and lower reaches of Yuanjiang River from Wuling County, and set up another county with Taoyuan as its name.

Shortly thereafter, Langzhou was renamed Dingzhou, and Taoyuan County and Taohuayuan in China belonged to Dingzhou. In the first year of Avenue (1 165), Dingzhou was changed to Changde House, and Taoyuan County and Taohuayuan under its jurisdiction were subsequently returned to Changde House. Since the early Song Dynasty, a large number of buildings and Taoist temples have been built in Taohuayuan. In the first year of Chunhua (990), Langya officials were ordered to build 500 Ren Xian pavilions, which were named Wang Xian pavilions after completion. In the first year of Zhenghe (111), Quanfa sent Guangnan West Road to transport Zhangzhuang Palace as a Taoist priest, and built a magnificent house on the mountain, which was divided into three palaces, *** 1330. The following year, Song Huizong Imperial Pencil Family gave the "Taochuan Wanshou Palace" a plaque, and the designated point was responsible for it.

In the first year of Chun _ (124 1), Longyang (now Hanshou County) donated money to build Wudang Palace. In the Peach Blossom Garden in Song Dynasty, not only the architecture was once brilliant, but also the landscape vegetation was gradually cultivated to be extraordinarily beautiful and rich. These not only benefited from the great influence of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden poems and the nourishment of the increasingly prosperous Peach Blossom Garden culture, but also made the Peach Blossom Garden culture richer and more vivid, thus infiltrating the whole land of China. In the third year of Song Shaosheng (1096), Tian Ju compiled the first anthology of Peach Blossom Garden Poems of Jin and Song Dynasties in China (***4 volumes).

Later, in the early years of Shaoxing (about1131140) and in the seventh year of Xichun (1 180), the Peach Blossom Garden Collection was compiled twice, and it was edited before. Throughout the Song Dynasty, dozens of poets, poets and writers, including You, Mei, Zhang, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian, Hu Hong, Zhu, Lu You and Jiang Kui, left poems, words and articles for the Peach Blossom Garden.

In 89 years of Yuan Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden was not restored and developed due to the court's neglect, but was destroyed by soldiers in the last year of Shun Di (1333- 1368). However, the Peach Blossom Garden culture with Tao Qian culture as its soul will not be destroyed by soldiers. During this period, many famous literati still came to Taohuayuan to write poems. Dozens of people, including Zhang Hu, Yuan Haowen, Xu Heng, Wu Cheng, Liu Yin, Jess, Sadulla and Fu Ruojin, wrote many poems about the Peach Blossom Garden. In the Ming Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden was repaired and destroyed, which was a fad and deserted. In the 12th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1379), Shang Weide, the abbot of Taoyuan Temple, built something on the site, and later Gong Guixiang, a Taoist, continued to build it. In the sixth year of Jingtai in Ming Dynasty (1455), Governor Li of Hunan sponsored abbot Taoist Xie Zhichang to build several temples in the former site of Taoyuan Temple, which were destroyed in less than 20 years.

In the 18th year of Chenghua (1482), Feng Xintong, the Taoist patron of Lee Tae, the magistrate of Changde, built the Dragon and Tiger Hall, the Dharma Hall and the Guanting Hall in Sanqing, and raised funds to decorate the idol. In the 14th year of Hongzhi (150 1), Tan Changlun, the abbot and Taoist, built the Guanshanmen and Qingfeng Bridge in Taoyuan. In the 13th year of Zheng De's reign (15 18), the abbot Taoist Zeng Shixian (the so-called Tao Tao Taoist) reclaimed land to plant peach trees, raised money everywhere, and began to repair the long-abandoned Wudang Palace. It was not until the 40th year of Jiajing (156 1) that the project was completed, while the privatization operation in Ceng Daoren lasted for 43 years. During this period, Changde Zhifulin built a pavilion at the entrance of Taoyuan and inscribed the stone forehead of "Changchun at the mouth of the cave".

In the third year of Wanli (1575), Zhao, the governor of Hunan Province, engraved the tablet titled "Taoyuan Jiazi" by Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty. From the 18th to 23rd year of Wanli (1590— 1595), the midtown Jiangdong planned to build a stone garden pavilion in the outer space of Taoyuandong, and left the office if it was not completed. Hu Guangyou took part in the political work of the school and continued to build the building. It was completed in a short time, and the Bafang Pavilion (now Zhu Fangting) was built. In the thirty-second year of Wanli (1604), Liu Zhilong, the deputy envoy of Hubei Province, instructed Wei Yike, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, to build a hall in front of Taoyuan Cave, with the corridor as the door, the tea kitchen as the door and the furniture as the kitchen. There is a wall around it, and the flowing water in the cave is introduced into the small pool in front of the pavilion, which is called "Xianfu".

In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, Li, the deputy envoy of Huguang Justice Department, and Huang Lai, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, ordered He Boxi, the principal book, to build several rooms on the open space of Lingxian House. In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, the Ministry took part in politics, visited Huanglai, the county magistrate in Hubei Province, and sponsored monk Zhang to build a grand palace at the top of Taohua Mountain to worship the statue of Emperor Tai. During the Apocalypse period (1620- 1927), Sun Tinghui, the master of Taoyuan, built a wooden bridge to welcome the Xianren Bridge. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties (1mid-7th century), a new Huangwen Pavilion was built on the top of Huangwen Mountain.

At the same time, Taoist buildings in the riverside area of Taohuayuan were once again destroyed by soldiers. With the passage of time, Taohuayuan, a scenic spot built in the Jin Dynasty, and Taoyuanming's poems show the cultural infiltration of scenic spots and historical masterpieces. Scholars in Ming Dynasty still have yearning and enthusiastic exploration of Peach Blossom Garden and its culture. During the period of (1560- 1570), Feng, the provincial judge of Huguang, made more explanations to make up for the lack of compilation by Song people, added writers from Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and compiled The Story of Peach Blossom Garden into three volumes. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were as many as 68 poets and officials who left their names and published their poems in Taohuayuan, including Wang, Xue Xuan, Long Fude, Jiang Yingke, Yuan Hongdao, Zhang Jingxin,.

After more than 260 years in the Qing Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden was restored one after another, but it was far less prosperous than the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the early Qing Dynasty, local citizen Luo proposed to restore Yuanming Temple (also known as Jingjie Temple) and plant thousands of peaches in front of it. In the fourth year of Kangxi (1665), Chen Hongfan, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, sponsored monks in the mountains to build Taochuan Ancient Temple. From 19th year to 47th year of Kangxi (1680- 1708), Wang Ziyuan, the governor of Hunan Province, tried to rebuild Taochuan Palace, but failed. After that, Li Yongqing, the first son, continued to build and completed it, but its scale was not as good as before. In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi (1709), Yu, the magistrate of Huguang, built a pavilion in front of Taoyuan Cave and a pavilion on the lower left of Yuxian Bridge (later abandoned by the wind and rain). Also cast the clock of Taochuan Xuanyue Palace (five feet high and one foot eight inches around).

In the eighth year of Qianlong (1743), Wang Zenghua, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, initiated the construction of Taochuan Academy near Taochuan Palace. In the eighteenth year of Qianlong (1753), Quyishen, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, added the wall of Taochuan Academy, and built two halls and lent together. During Jiaqing and Daoguang years, Yang Xianduo, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, and Wu Yulin, the juren of Hougong, planted 300 peaches in the open space at the entrance of Taoyuan. In the winter of the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang (1845), the magistrate of Taoyuan saw that the scenery of Yuanming Temple was declining, advocated repairing it, and ordered the county magistrate to take care of Dong's affairs. Completed in February of the following year. In the first year of Xianfeng (185 1), Zhu Yuan, a magistrate of a county, supplemented Tao Qian's Preface to Peach Blossom Garden Poetry in Yuyuanming Temple. In the fourth year of Xianfeng, except for Huangwenting, Yuanming Temple and Zhufangting, most of the buildings in Taohuayuan were destroyed by fire, and the survivors became increasingly broken.

In the sixth year of Xianfeng, the county people decided to build Guan Sheng Palace in Taohuayuan, but it was not completed. In the eighth year of Xianfeng, Xiong Zhennan, a magistrate of a county, rebuilt Dashige, which was not completed. In the first year of Tongzhi (1862), the county people Wang and Zeng built a palace (the site is in this chrysanthemum garden) and released the Changlin statue. In the four years of Tongzhi, Sun, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, continued to serve as the court of university students. Nine years of Tongzhi (1870), Liu Changqing, Li Bai, Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, Zhang Xu, Han Yu, Liu Yuxi, Zhang, Wang Jian, Caotang, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, etc. 14 people wrote poems about Peach Blossom Garden in Jixian Temple. In the 14th year of Guangxu reign (1888), Lingyu of Taoyuan County began to clean up the fire site of Taoxi Academy (Taochuan Academy) around Taoyuan Cave and Taochuan Palace. For the second time, 495 mu of farmland was obtained, from which 70 mu of farmland and cooked soil 10 mu were raised for Fuyuan Ming Temple and extended to Taoists. At the age of 20, they were rented out as incense.

Soon, the school located in Fisherman's Office will be moved to the county seat through the Academy. In the seventeenth year of Guangxu (189 1), the roof tiles of Yuanming Temple were shattered by heavy rain and hail. Yu, the magistrate of a county, built a temple on the top of the hill behind Dashige, and moved to serve the God of Yuanming. In the eighteenth year of Guangxu, Yu, the magistrate of a county, rebuilt Yuanming Temple and arranged pavilions along the mountain. According to "Preface to Peach Blossom Garden Poetry", it was named as "Inquiring Pavilion, Poor Forest Bridge, Tuoting Pavilion, Water Pavilion, Taohuatan, Fisherman Entering Pavilion, Emergence Pavilion, Curious Pavilion, Holding High Pavilion, Fisherman's Ci Pavilion, Exit Pavilion and Incense Furnace Bridge Pavilion". With the weakening of Taohuayuan Taoist cultural veil in Ming Dynasty and the strengthening of Tao Qian cultural essence, the Qing Dynasty took a big step in this respect.

Two poems written by Emperor Gaozong of Qianlong (reigned 1736- 1795) in Taohuayuan (Peach Blossom Garden Sending the Fisherman Out of the Source by One Person and The Fisherman Lost His Way in Taoyuan) are all based on Tao Yuanming's Poems of Taohuayuan. From the 19th year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (1754) to the 26th year of Daoguang (1846), in less than a hundred years, the abbot of Dashige in Taohuayuan, the scholar Tang of Wuling and Hu Chuo of Wuling successively compiled The Story of Taohuayuan and The Story of Taohuayuan 18 volumes. These records of Peach Blossom Garden are all based on Tao Yuanming's Poems of Peach Blossom Garden, describing and studying the scenic spots and historical sites in Peach Blossom Garden for more than a thousand years.

Throughout the Qing Dynasty, literati, officials and celebrities praised the Peach Blossom Garden in succession, and there were more than 100 people recorded in historical materials alone, among which Chen Shiben, Luo Rencong, Li Yu, Cha, Yu, Zhang Bailing, Tao Shu and Shi Dakai were famous. During the Republic of China, the Peach Blossom Garden also recovered and developed slightly. In the third year of the Republic of China (19 14), Yang Rui, the governor of Taoyuan, sponsored Li Guan, a Taoist priest who presided over the plum cultivation, to build Guan Yu in the former site of Dashige (Dashige was destroyed by fire in the first year of the Republic of China), which was completed in summer and April, and the scale was enlarged compared with the original Dashige. Dashitang was renamed as "the Hall of Ancient Hidden Gentlemen" to dedicate the statue of Tao Yuanming. Another farewell building was built on the left side of the hall (that is, the farewell building of this interest machine); A pavilion was rebuilt outside the house, named Nie Fengting by Tao Yuanming's poem.

In the autumn of September 9th, Yang Rui _ selected more than 20 outstanding poems and ancient masterpieces of Xerox from Singing in the Cave, and set up a peach stone "Fu Shou" screen in the main hall (Fu Shou is divided into two sides). In 32 years of the Republic of China (1943), Taohuayuan archway was built at the entrance of Taohuashantou at the initiative of Qin Gui, member of the Central Committee of the County People's Nationalist Party, and Tang, speaker of the Provincial Senate. In the same year, the pavilion moved to the back of the mountain, and the moon pavilion was built at the original site of the pavilion. After the founding of New China, the Party and the people's government attached great importance to the protection, restoration and development of Taohuayuan. 1959, Hunan Province announced Taohuayuan as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit. From 65438 to 0963, the cultural relics department of Hunan Province allocated funds to repair the poor forest bridge, chrysanthemum garden, moon pavilion and other buildings, and repaired and painted other historical sites in Taohuayuan. 1973, the Provincial Department of Culture allocated funds to repair the Taohuashantou doorplate building, Nie Fengting, Jixian Hall and other buildings. 1975, Taohuayuan Cultural Relics Management Office resumed. 1976, reconstruction of Taohuaguan Mountain Gate. 1977, the county government allocated funds to repair the sudden pavilion (formerly known as the sudden pavilion), expand the pavilion, and paint the Xianqiao.

At the turn of summer and autumn this year, Taohuayuan was repeatedly hit by heavy rains, which caused landslides on the east and west sides of Taohuaguan and the Xianqiao Bridge was washed away. The Provincial Department of Culture allocated hundreds of thousands of yuan to renovate the damaged buildings such as Yuxian Bridge and Tourist Highway 17, which quickly changed their appearance. From 65438 to 0984, the Provincial Department of Hydropower allocated funds to rebuild the fish pond and build the Yiran Bridge. In the autumn of the same year, Yue Yue Pavilion and Taohuaguan Qian Dian were restored, and the platform under Nie Feng Pavilion was built. 1985, rebuild Jixian Hall, build a rest home and build Qinren Building Hotel, which will be completed the following year. 1986, the trail was trimmed and the buildings such as Niefeng Pavilion and Qiao Lin Bridge were renovated. 1987, the Hunan provincial government announced Taohuayuan as a provincial-level scenic spot, which was included in the top ten scenic spots in the province. The Provincial Department of Culture allocated 400,000 yuan to repair the Gaogao Pavilion, and 1990 was completed.

Although the Peach Blossom Garden was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, by the end of 1980s, it showed a new scale, a new look, a new vitality and a new artistic conception that had never been seen since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. When the pace of the times entered the 1990s, the prosperous spring breeze of China's reform and opening-up blew green the magical landscape and countryside of the Peach Blossom Garden. From 199 1 year to now, this 10 year has become another heyday of recovery and development in the history of Taohuayuan.

Under the care of Hunan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government and Changde Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Taoyuan County Party Committee and County Government directly led this large-scale restoration and development work. 199 1, the Taohuayuan Scenic Area Management Office of Hunan Province was approved to be established, and it was upgraded from the original share-level unit to a deputy-level management institution. 199 1 winter solstice 1992 spring, the first phase of the restoration and development project was completed, and the newly-built Taohuayuan international road archway, Yuanmingyuan, Taohua Lake, Liu Yuxi Caotang, Yonggui Pavilion, Huaying Pavilion, Shuangxing Pavilion, Wuliu Lake, Shuifu Pavilion (also known as Huangwen Pavilion) and Shuifu Pavilion were restored. 1992 winter solstice 1993 spring, the second phase of the restoration and development project was completed, and Taochuan Wanshou Palace (Upper Temple), Tianning Monument Garden, You Ran Garden, Forget the Year Garden, Baxian Pavilion, Qin Cheng, Qinren Ancient Road, Xuanting and other scenic spots were restored and built. In addition, a number of hotels, restaurants and other tourist facilities and infrastructure such as water supply and power supply have been built. The third phase of the restoration and development project starts from 1996, focusing on excavating the cultural connotation of the Peach Blossom Garden, developing the scenery of Shui Yuan and improving the functional facilities of the scenic spot.

Some scenic spots, including Taolin, Juyuan, Yuanming Temple, Jixian Temple, Taohuaguan, Shuifuge Observation Deck, Taochuan Palace, Tianning Monument and Shui Yuan Wind Lantern, were restored, reconstructed and equipped. From 2000 to 2003, some unsightly buildings were demolished and the "three planting" project (planting ancient trees, planting Gu Teng and planting turf) was carried out. Qixia Garden was developed, Chrysanthemum Garden was transformed, half of the platform was rebuilt, and Juxian Bridge, Tianning Monument, was built, which increased the highlights and selling points of the scenic spot.

In a short period of 10 year, the third phase of the project invested 200 million yuan to restore and develop 88 scenic spots, and completed all kinds of construction areas of nearly 654.38+10,000 square meters, closed more than 300 hectares for afforestation and planted 500,000 trees. On this basis, the Taohuayuan Garden Party and the Taohuayuan "Fu" Cultural Festival were successfully held. The ancient and mysterious Peach Blossom Garden with a history of more than 1000 years is presented to people with a more exquisite and graceful charm.
