Yunluo led Yan Shenyu through the door hole of Zhuxi Jiaji is a tree-lined path formed by the interlacing of osmanthus tree branches and leaves, and the tall osmanthus trees on both sides are luxuriant, constituting a natural tree-lined welcome avenue, which will not be sunburned even under the scorching sun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info bamboo forest and laurel trees converge in the best place in Zhuxi, and the elegance of the owner of the house can be seen.

The flowering period of osmanthus is mostly around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it can last about 20 days before and after, but the full flowering period is only a week's appearance, and the weather is clear and cold at this time, so there is also a saying of "cold dew silent wet osmanthus". When the flowers bloom, the garden is filled with a clear and leisurely fragrance, which is intoxicating.

At this time, if you come to the park, you can enjoy the sweet fragrance to the fullest. When the breeze blows, the fine osmanthus flowers will flutter like rain, falling all over your hair and clothes.

The small building you see now is a "cong", with wood carvings as screens and vines hanging down. There are couplets downstairs in front of the door: clear air Ruolan, humble and bamboo; Joy is in the water, quiet and fun in the same mountain. It has the taste of Confucius's "benevolent people enjoy the mountain, and the wise people enjoy the water".

From the name of the small building, you can know that this is the place where the owner hides books and reads. Osmanthus has always been closely related to the old people's career and prosperity. Huang Zhiyun planted osmanthus flowers in the garden, and of course he hoped that his children and grandchildren would be talented and well-connected.

Cong is in the east of Winter Mountain, the southernmost part of Autumn Mountain, the combination of mountain and building is ingenious, and the building has become the most elegant end of Autumn Mountain. From the mountain stone steps can go upstairs, this building is back to the autumn mountain, facing the south and standing, three bays, a total of six rooms upstairs. It avoids the main tourist routes in the garden, and the architectural style is relatively simple.

There is a small courtyard in front of the building, planted with a sycamore, and the main trunk has been obliquely out of the eaves. There is quite a sense of "lonely sycamore deep courtyard lock Qingqiu". The east side of the powder wall is set up with a begonia flower-shaped large leaky window, the partition window is a few plantains that are not raining, and the terrazzo brick window on the west side is the largest leaky window in the garden, through it. The Xuanshi and Lamei of the entire Winter Mountain are in full view.

What's even more wonderful is that it is on a horizontal line with the circular leaky window on the west wall of the winter scene, so our eyes can actually pass through the winter scene to see the bamboo cultivation of the spring scene.

Ji Cheng said in "Yuanye": "The framing is borrowing". Although the courtyard here is small, there is only one sycamore. However, through the clever "borrowing" of the flower window, the plantain and plum on the wall and the sycamore in the courtyard create a quiet and indifferent taste.

At the southern end of the bamboo viewing area in the north of the garden, there is a pond with beautiful scenery by the pond. There are pavilions and pavilions, pavilions and corridors. The rockery stacked with yellow stone by the side of the pool, the fish swim in the pool, leisurely and contented.

Morning smoke door. There is a poem on the east slope: "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo; No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. "There are bamboo forests everywhere in the garden to show that the owner is good. Over the cong, in the south of the garden is the daily living place of the owner Huang Zhiyun, is a group of traditional buildings sitting in the north and facing the south, the front house and the back garden.

Opposite the gate is a luxurious big figure-of-eight grinding brick brick carved wall. Mr. Chen Congzhou said in "Garden Words"; "Gorgeous light wall, pasted with terrazzo bricks. Carved pattern, embedded in the middle of the word 'Fu', like a garden gate on, exquisitely made. ”

Qing Jin Xuefang said that a garden is: "The gate court spins the horse to gather celebrities". Legend has it that the residences in the heyday of Geyuan were respectively with the theme of "Blessing, Lu, Longevity, Wealth, and Happiness", arranged vertically, and the five-way mansions were opened one after another, with more than 200 original houses.

Although only the eastern, central and western roads have been preserved, there is one hall and one hall. Each beam and pillar all show the exquisite and luxurious home life of the owner, and confirm the wealth of Yangzhou salt merchants. The three roads of the residential buildings in the south of the garden have their own themes. They are blessing, Lu and longevity. The aisle between the two blue brick sandwich walls is called Fire Lane, also known as Fire Avoidance Lane and Wind Fire Lane.

The front and back of the East Road residence are three entrances, the cornice tile head dripping water and the doors, windows and pavilion fans are decorated with the pattern of the deer, with the deer as a metaphor. As the saying goes, people take food as the sky, so let's take a look at the Huang family's "kitchen" first. This is the last house to enter the East Road building, and the layout is three rooms and two phases. There are seven beams from the roof ridge to the cornice, and there are middle columns (vertical post type) on the mountain, which is one of the typical forms of Yangzhou residential units.

The original kitchen has long been abandoned, and in order to give people a more intuitive understanding of the historical situation, the house is restoratively furnished according to the traditional kitchen layout. There is a large pot stove in the kitchen. Kitchen utensils such as food boxes, wine jars, and stools can be used to carefully figure out the scenes of cooks and servants shuttling back and forth, making soups, and refining delicacies.

The Qing Dynasty salt merchants' pursuit of delicious food reached its extreme, and legend has it that Huang Zhiyun's daily breakfast was: bird's nest, ginseng soup, and two eggs. And his son Huang Xiaoyuan always prepares more than a dozen kinds of dim sum and more than a dozen kinds of porridge to entertain guests in the morning. From this, we can also get a glimpse of the Huang family's abundant financial resources and the luxury of life. Regarding the refinement of Huang Zhiyun's diet, there are still two anecdotes that are widely circulated among the common people.

One or two lines of silver and an egg, one day, Huang Zhiyun had nothing to do, looked through the notebook casually, and saw that "two eggs" were noted with "one or two pieces of silver each", and he was very surprised and said: "Even if the price of eggs is expensive now, it will not reach this level." Immediately he called the cook and rebuked him for his deception.

The cook said, "The eggs I send every day are not comparable to the eggs on the market, and the price of one tael of silver is very cheap. After that, he resigned and left.

Huang Zhiyun re-elected someone to replace him, and the price of eggs has come down, but the taste is not as good as before. I changed several cooks in a row, and it was like this.

In the end, I had to ask the original cook to make it, and the next day the eggs tasted the same as before. Huang Zhiyun was puzzled, so he asked the cook, "What did you do to make the eggs taste so delicious?" ”

The cook said: "I have hundreds of hens at home, and every day they are ground into powder with ginseng, atractylodes, red dates, etc., and added to the feed, so there is such a delicious taste. Huang Zhiyun sent someone to see it, and sure enough, as he said, he never mentioned changing the chef again.

Pick up the meat stewed Huangshan bamboo shoots, Huang Zhiyun loves bamboo, he not only has bamboo in his name, planting bamboo in his home, and inscribed the name of the garden with bamboo meaning, but also has a luxury related to bamboo: like to eat bamboo shoots.

Of course, the bamboos in the garden are all ornamental bamboos, and bamboo shoots are not suitable for eating, and even if they are eaten, they are limited. Therefore, Huang Zhiyun loves to eat Huangshan bamboo shoots the most, and he has to take advantage of the freshness that has just been dug up.

But Huangshan is far away from Yangzhou, how can you eat freshly unearthed bamboo shoots? This is simply whimsical in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the big salt merchant on the rich side, it is different, he does not have to make a painful choice for Su Dongpo and other poor literati.

No, someone has already designed a movable stove for him, and after picking bamboo shoots in Huangshan, they are immediately washed and cut, and put in a pot with meat to stew.

Then let the porter carry the stove to Yangzhou, and when the people arrived in Yangzhou, the bamboo shoots and meat were also simmered. A plate of bamboo shoot meat is so laborious, and the silver taels spent during the period can be imagined.

It is a restaurant with three rooms and two corridors, and the structure is exquisite. The beams and pillars of this hall are made of Nanmu, so it is called Nanmu Hall. The structure of the restaurant is round, the beam is lifted, and the materials are fat. The two ends of the beam are slightly "roll killing" carved arcs, before and after Shi Xuan, the hall decoration is front of the wood carved pavilion fan, and the rear screen door.

The two rooms are wood carved floor covers, the surrounding walls are placed with wall panels, the straight columns in the hall are thick and straight, and the alum stone pillars under the columns are "round in the sky", the line feet are concise, and the shape is refined. In the middle of the dining room are three large marble-clad round tables and round low stools. Throughout this hall, it is neat and spacious, and it is generous.

The screen door hangs the landscape of the Song Dynasty and the lacquer book couplet written by Jin Nong, one of the eight strange people in Yangzhou, "The amount of drink is not only drunk; Yahuai is a wandering immortal". The column couplet is: the four seasons of the family and the moon: the soup is a book.

The restaurant structure is cylindrical, round beam, round rafters, the hall is equipped with round tables, round stools, and the couplets hug the pillars and talk about wine and soup to express their feelings of life, it is obvious that this is a place for banquets and gatherings. "Circle" is to take the meaning of reunion, reunion, the owner's mind and taste in the building inside and outside the couplet revealed.

This is the place where the Huang family receives general visitors and handles daily affairs, "Qingmeitang", "Qingmei" is the beauty of Qing. Being an honest and honest official and being a clean and innocent person is a kind of ideological realm that people pursue.

The front three sides of the hall are equipped with corridor arch guards, and the hall frame is characterized by the lifting beam type, although the shape is simple, but the workmanship is more elegant. In addition, the hall is 60 centimeters lower than the south first gate, and it has a long history, which can be pushed as a relic of the Ming Dynasty.

The lower mouth of the two ends of the beam has a garden curve, and the craftsman calls it "Peeling Thought" and also called "Bahai". The end of the skid's wood carving is like a cloud, and this skid's is called "water wave machine".

Before and after Shi Xuan, because of the shape of the canopy, the south is generally called the canopy Xuan, and the north is called the canopy. The hall is set up with a screen door in the back step, and a wood-carved floor cover is placed between the two times.

Qingmeitang has two couplets, and the outreach is: "There is no other way to read the heirloom: Yuhou has a good plan but diligence and thrift." Cultivating and reading heirlooms, being diligent and thrifty embodies the traditional ideological concepts and life attitudes of the Chinese people, and embodies the idea of "cultivating and reading heirlooms, being diligent and thrifty".

There is also a pair of couplets hanging above the middle hall: bamboo is suitable for rain, pine is suitable for snow; Flowers can participate in Zen wine can be immortals". It is the title of Wang Shishen, the eight monsters of Yangzhou. If rain and snow add to the charm of bamboo and the posture of pine, then flowers and wine can make people get a calm mood away from the red dust.

The cultivation and reading heirloom expresses the master's respect for traditional culture, and bamboo, pine, flowers, and wine convey his elegant feelings of literati and the realm of refinement. It also best interprets Huang Zhiyun's dual identity as a businessman and a literati.

The three ornaments on the table represent peace and longevity. Before getting to the middle road, stop to see the East Fire Lane of Yangzhou Geyuan. Fire Lane is a long and narrow passage for the living needs of the rich people in the feudal society. It is to make the house and the house can be separated according to the need, and it is also used for fire prevention and theft prevention.

Fire Lane is also a place of feudal etiquette and morality, respect and inferiority, and traffic exchanges. For example, servants and maids enter and exit, and guests can only enter and exit from the back garden if they want to go to the back garden, and they cannot enter the back garden through the hall.
