The origin of the name "Keyuan"

There is a much-told story about the origin of the name "Keyuan". It is said that when Zhang Jing built his own garden, he named it "Italian Garden", which showed that he was very satisfied with his garden. After the completion, Zhang invited local celebrities and gentlemen to hold a grand banquet.

After the banquet, Zhang casually asked for everyone's views on the "Italian Garden". Maybe everyone drank too much that day, but at that time, no one could understand Lao Zhang's meaning, just opened his mouth and said, right, right. ...

After seeing off the guests, Zhang was still thinking: Yes, this just shows that the "Italian Garden" is good. Why not just change "Italian Garden" into "Keyuan"? In this way, we can have a unique garden name without losing the human touch. In this way, the name Keyuan was officially called.

Keyuan tourist route

Keyuan has a building area of 3 mu (2,204) and its layout is ingenious and reasonable. The mirage in the park covers the pavilion, the cloisters are lingering and the mountains are winding, which is very interesting. The buildings in the park are all water mill blue brick structures, and the ground is mostly reddish-brown brick steps unique to Dongguan, supplemented by flower stands, flower diameters and rockeries. The essence of ancient gardening in China can be found here.

Yaoshan pavilion

The tallest building in Keyuan, 17.5m high, has windows in the attic on all sides, and the eaves spread their wings, overlooking the Dongjiang River. This tall building is also a landmark building in Dongguan in the Qing Dynasty.

It's just a pity that there are taller buildings around now. Standing on the invitation pavilion, you can no longer see the endless scenery of the past, and the beautiful Dongjiang River is also hidden among the buildings.

Bo Xiao Hong Xie

The Red Pavilion is the place where the host invites guests to take a nap. "Breaking the red" means peeling litchi. According to records, litchi trees were planted next to the pavilion. Whenever litchi is ripe, you can reach out and pick fresh litchi to taste.

Huanbilang

Bibi Gallery, with a total length of 65,438+000 meters, is a long corridor around the whole park, with a panoramic view of the whole park. The starting point of the garden corridor is located in the "Broken Red Pavilion".

Shuangqing room

Shuangqing Room is another scenic spot in Keyuan, and its structure is very wonderful: buildings, floors, ceilings and window sashes in the hall are all painted with the word "Ya", which is said to be auspicious. Shuangqing Room is the place where the owner of the garden once sang to the wind and made love to the moon. According to the scenery of the small bridge in front of the temple and the reflection of the moon in the Quchi, it was named "Shuangqing".

Caocaotang

Caotang used to be a place where Zhang, the owner of the garden, painted and rested. Now there are statues here.

Zhang was a native of Dongguan in the late Qing Dynasty. He went to Jiangxi as a provincial judge and a deployment ambassador. Later, due to the ups and downs of the official sea, he retired to his hometown and devoted himself to landscape gardens, chess and calligraphy. The construction of Keyuan is also an important achievement of his retirement.

Zhang Shiwen was good at calligraphy and painting, and often made friends with calligraphy and painting in Keyuan, which gradually became the gathering place of Lingnan literati at that time. After Zhang, Juchao, Ju Lian and others also lived in Keyuan to paint and spread their skills, which initiated the Lingnan School of Painting.

Hooke district

Hook District, also known as Huayin Garden, has Diaoyutai, arch bridge and waterside pavilion. Hook district is divided into three districts by long dike. There is a red brick arch bridge on the embankment, and there is a bamboo waterside pavilion next to the embankment, which is the place where the owner and friends Ju Lian and Ju Chao sketch. The promenade along the lake is called "the lingering sound of Bo Xi", and the great painters who participated in the garden design praised "the red window rings like a fisherman."

Lv Qi building

It is said that when Zhang found an ancient Qin in the Tang Dynasty, he built a collection building next to the highest mountain pavilion, which was dedicated to the collection of this ancient Qin. The name of this building is called "Green Arcade", which is also the name of the piano.

Luqi Building is the most legendary place in Keyuan. As you can imagine, it was a quiet and talented woman in ancient times. She slowly opened the curtain, moved lightly, sat down in front of the guqin, and played a beautiful movement with her fingers slender.

Tips:

From the establishment of the garden to the present, from private gardens to museum parks, Keyuan has a history of One Happy and Fifty for many years. Time has changed the appearance of Keyuan, but it has not changed its quiet temperament.

Keyuan is very suitable for relaxing on weekends. Come here for a walk and forget a lot of troubles. ...
