Section 834 The scenery is not as good as the beauty

Every time Yunluo is alone with Yan Chenyu, his body and mind are always relaxed and he doesn't need to think too much. The cold and beautiful little fish baby can always use his light smile to bring Yunluo's indescribable tenderness. This is the feeling between two people, and it is a love that Yunluo is unwilling to let go in the rest of his life.

Holding Yan Chenyu's plain hand, Yun Luo admired the scenery of this garden and felt the stories behind it. In the past, paper cutting among the people of Yangzhou was mainly used as embroidery bases such as shoe flowers, pillow flowers, tablecloth flowers and bed sheet flowers. Now, due to the changes in social customs and the expansion of creative themes, Yangzhou paper cutting has gradually shifted from practicality to appreciation.

The original waist door behind the main hall screen door is directly to the back garden. It is the gate for the wives and ladies to enter the back garden to enjoy the scenery. The west fire alley is wide in the south and narrow in the north. It is commonly known as the "Coffin Lane" in Yangzhou. A well is built at the south end of the alley. A brick arches are placed at the bottom of the wall next to the well. The water well is placed at the southern end of the alley, and the front door building is arranged adjacent to the houses on both sides and the front door building, which is convenient for the front house to be used in normal times. If a fire occurs, it will take water to extinguish the fire in time.

The wall next to it is built into an arch to prevent the wall from sinking due to long-term water withdrawal. There was a wisteria tree above the well before, but the shade is not present. In the past, when visitors from outside, they all entered the garden from this alley, and gradually narrowed from south to north, strengthening the sense of perspective and extending the space. I feel even more deeply in the courtyard.

A few steps to the left of Xihuo Lane, you can see a pink wall with flower windows. The middle of the door is open. The white forehead is carved with "Geyuan" and the bamboo green color is filled with bamboo. There is a square flower bed on both sides of the door. The bamboo bed is erected in the flower bed, and the bamboo is erected and raised above the wall, making it soaring into the sky. Stone green stalagmites are planted in the bamboo bushes, which means "spring bamboo shoots after the rain".

Bamboo is a new stone plant. With just a few strokes, it points out the abundant business of the forest after the rain in spring. In the breeze, under the sun, the bamboos are shaping the shadows, and the sparse leaves appear on the pink walls, which makes people imagine, and it has the legacy of the Banqiao. This unique picture of bamboo and stone points out the theme of "Spring Mountain" and tells you that "a good spring cannot be hidden. It is the most affectionate bamboo with rain."

It cleverly conveys the concept of "Cherishing Spring" in traditional culture. The highest architectural art achievements in the garden are the four-season rockery in the back garden. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu enter through the small clamp in the middle of the house. Turn left and you can see two flower platforms, one left and one right.

There are green bamboos on the platform, and uneven stalagmites are stacked among the bamboos. From a distance, they look like spring bamboo shoots that have just broken through the ground. The rays of sunlight reflect the sparse bamboo shadows on the wall of the garden gate. The branches and leaves of various bamboos on both sides of the "full moon gate" of the garden gate are sprinkled, "the moon reflects the bamboo in thousands of words". It sets off the "Geyuan" gate in the middle of the garden gate.

The bamboo swaying in the breeze symbolizes the spring forest. This true and false bamboo scene is lined by the white walls of the front residential part and stands on both sides of the garden gate, which has a very meaning of "Spring Mountain is the beginning". You can appreciate the feeling of spring returning to the earth and the atmosphere is endless. This is the spring scene in the famous four-season rockery scenery of the garden.

Spring Scenery Spring Mountain is composed of bamboo shoots (ginkgo peak stone, Wufeng stone), Taihu stone, bamboo and osmanthus flowers. The layout is exquisite and unique. The bamboo and stone picture outside the door is "loving the ink like gold". Its refinement techniques express the yearning and cherishing of spring, pointing out the theme of "bamboo and stone".

The "Spring Picture" inside the wall not only conveys people's joy in spring, but implicitly reveals the beginning of the development of Chinese gardens. Spring mountains are suitable for traveling, not about the length of the journey, but about the gains and enjoyment of travel. Standing here and looking westward, you can see a curved corridor that connects two floors, and a plaque "Miju Gallery" hanging downstairs.

There was a former Fudao corridor in the garden. It can be surrounded by "the path is sunny and the corridor is rainy". Chen Hanguang said in "Geyuan Xing": "The tall buildings are in full bloom and the stars are in the middle of the sky."

Only this broken building is left. The couplets of the pillars and couplets of the downstairs are written in Yuan Mei: "The moon reflects the bamboo in thousands of words; the frost and tall plums are pregnant with flowers." Looking at the "Geyuan" on the banner of the garden door and the bamboo shadows shaking on the pink wall are amazing. This sentence gives the most exciting comments on "Ge".

The spring scenery is the one with the smallest land and the least stone among the rockery in the four seasons. This unique bamboo and stone picture uses the technique of cherishing ink like gold to point out the theme of "Spring Mountain", and the spring light is fleeting. It cleverly expresses the concept of "Chuning Spring" in traditional culture.

Clouds and fish are shining through the garden door behind the spring scenery and the elegant row of windows on both sides, and you can also glimpse the scenery in the garden, the towers and flowers and trees appear in it, which is fascinating.

Outside the garden gate is the scene of early spring, and when you enter it, you will feel the prosperity of mid-spring. It seems that when you arrive at Jingzhe, all things have regained their spirituality. Taihu stones of different shapes are used by the owner to depict a vivid picture of the twelve zodiac signs that are similar to each other.

Yunluo and Yanchenyu cross the Yue Cave Gate. There are more than ten century-old osmanthus trees on both sides of the Pebble Bay Road, planted in flower beds surrounded by lake stones. In the southeast, there is a small hill with lake stones sticking on the west wall of the hall based on the "Breathing and Leaking Moon" as the backbone. The rest is connected to the flower bed, and there are also several meters high lake stones in the flower bed.

In order to further exaggerate the breath of spring, the Taihu stone used here is unique in shape and resembles animals of various postures. It uses techniques such as sticking mountains, surrounding mountains, and pointing stones to form a "Picture of Spring for hundreds of beasts", also known as the "Picture of Spring for the Twelve Zodiacs".

Look, the first snake that felt the rejuvenation of the earth with a slightly raised head, the spring plowing cow that carried the weight forward, the calm horse and the lively and cute puppy were all vivid.

Even the tiger in Changxiaoshan forest, the dragon whose head is not seen, and the smart and naughty monkey are all arranged to stop and stop. Of course, the gentle jade rabbit is closest to people. The earth is rejuvenated and the lively revival of all things is fully demonstrated here.

The twelve zodiac signs are full of spring pictures. This scene is lively and has a different meaning.

If you look at the history of garden development in China, you can know that the earliest prototype of a garden was a garden. Mao Xiangzhi of the Book of Songs said: "The garden is the reason why animals are raised in the fields." In other words, the earliest gardens were mainly free-range animals.

It turns out that these animals with different expressions not only convey the message of spring to us, but also quietly remind us not to forget the origin of Chinese gardens while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Inside and outside the garden gate, there are spring scenery, but the artistic conception is completely different. Just now, it was the early spring scenery outside the gate, but when you arrived inside, it was a beautiful spring scenery that was getting deeper and deeper. What is amazing is that this change is naturally accomplished without you realizing it.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu walked into the garden from the spring scenery of the two flower terraces, and facing each other was a four-sided hall. In front of the hall there were two flower terraces stacked with lake stones. Bamboo was planted on the west platform and osmanthus was planted on the east platform. Therefore, this hall was originally called the Osmanthus Hall, but now the plaque has been renamed "Yiyuxuan".

Yiyuxuan is built to the south. It has a single-eaved hip-mounted mountain style, with three pillars from east to west. The hip-mounted mountain has deep reliefs, embedded with Ruyi curly grass, and the lines are unwinding and natural and smooth. It is the center of the planning and construction of the entire garden. The arrangements for landscapes such as landscapes, flowers and trees are all centered around Yiyuxuan.

Yiyuxuan was written by the famous painter Liu Haili, and the column couplet is the ink trace of the famous calligrapher Fei Xinwo. It is better to tune the piano in the morning and the evening, and it is better to drum the zither; the old rain is everywhere until the new rain first arrives. It points out the natural law of the bamboo forest joyful rain and bamboo shoots spring after the rain.

The old rain, the source of today's rain comes from Du Fu's article "Autumn Sayings": I went to Chang'an for a while, and it was rainy and raw fish, moss and beds, and the frequent passengers of carriages and horses. The old rain comes, but now, the rain does not come. The warm and cold people make the poet feel very moved. Later generations used "now rain" and "old rain" to refer to new friends and old friends.

This couplet can be regarded as the introduction to the problem of "Yiyuxuan". Obviously, this was once a place for the host to receive guests and gather with new friends and old friends. However, now perhaps only the beams and pillars in this pavilion still remember the sound of the piano at that time. In front of the door were more than ten osmanthus flowers in the spring scenery. Because of this, Yangzhou people also called Yiyuxuan the "Osmanthus Hall".

Entering the pavilion, you can see an old furniture decorated with olives. The dark red color also conveys the elegance of the past, and the refined carvings also tell the luxury of the past. The furnishings on the flower table are like the ones that leak the air and the moon, and are also orchids that "not beautified because there is no one."

Yiyuxuan is a hall with four sides, with long floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side, and three and a half windows on the other side, with a ring corridor on all sides, carved railings in front of the corridor, and beauties sit on the east and west sides. The scenery of all seasons is placed around the hall. At this time, "people sit in the hall, and the scenery comes from all sides". Spring, summer, autumn and winter are actually coming to the front of you through the window. Time seems to have stopped, and the four seasons have not changed.

The feeling of the beautiful flowers and the passing years is no longer spoken here. Walking on the corridor outside the pavilion, you will have the lightness of traveling through time and space at will, as if the silent Four Seasons Mountain really retains the watery years for us.

Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu looked south from the hall, and there was green everywhere, with green bamboo and osmanthus clusters near it. Through the four terrazzo leaking windows and moon cave doors on the wall, you can also see the small bamboo and stone scenery that you passed by just now.

The close-up and long-distance view is both different from inside and outside, and is also separated without being closed. This gardening method that borrows the inner and outer mutually to increase the depth of the first scene into the park is the unique feature of a garden and can be said to be unique.

Walking west along the Xuanlang, passing through a dense bamboo forest, you will come to the edge of the pool and look north through the water. Under the blue sky, there is a rich and ancient Taihu stone rockery standing majestic. There are stone caves at the foot of the mountain and stone platforms on the mountain. The shape is varied and the shape is like clouds in the sky. This is Xiashan.

Xiashan is located in the northwest of Yiyuxuan, with bamboo swaying and green trees. Several tall magnolias and maple poplars are hidden in a lush Taihu stone rockery. The lake stones are blue-gray, elegant and handsome, and have a variety of shapes, like clouds with rain in the sky.

Chinese paintings have the artistic conception of "there are many strange peaks in summer", because the changing clever clouds in the summer sky are like strange peaks, Geyuan Xiashan uses the soft curve of Taihu stones to pick up mountains and build stones to stop clouds to simulate the clouds in the summer sky.

There is a clear pool of clear water in front of the summer mountain, and a curved bridge on the water leads to the entrance of the cave. It cleverly hides the tail of the water, giving people the impression of "how deep the courtyard is". Lotus is planted everywhere in the pond. At a glance, "the lotus flowers are red in the sun" highlights the theme of "summer". (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
