Chapter 154: Hibiscus Garden

"Jiangtou Palace locks thousands of doors, and the fine willow Xinpu is green. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Sitting in the luxurious painting boat, playing with Wang Wanjun who was taking a boat for the first time, and at the same time walking slowly along the Qujiang River, looking at the garden next to the Qujiang River, the extremely gorgeous pavilions and pavilions and the towering Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Duan Jian couldn't help but recite this poem that specifically sings the praises of the Qujiang Garden.

For Duan Jian from later generations, he has long heard or seen various grand scenes in the Qujiang Garden of the Tang Dynasty in countless circulations, but it is a pity that in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City fell into the flames of war, not only Chang'an City, the first city in the world at that time, was burned by fire, but also with the Qujiang Garden, which has been handed down from the Qin and Han dynasties, and concentrated the magnificent masterpiece of the Chinese Garden's attainments at the peak, was also destroyed.

Although later generations tried their best to restore the grand scenery in the Qujiang garden from various ancient books or legends, it was a pity that it was difficult to ascend to the sky, and they could only barely make some appearances to express their hearts.

"Wanjun, do you say that we should visit the Hibiscus Garden first, or look at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda that you have always wanted to go to see the wild goose pagoda nomination." After doing the painting boat for a long time, Duan Jian said softly after seeing that Wang Wanjun had become a little tired from the beginning of his interest.

"Well, why don't we go to visit the Hibiscus Garden first, it's still early, didn't you say that in the afternoon or evening, there will be many talented scribes next to the Wild Goose Pagoda, chanting poems, right, let's go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the afternoon." Sure enough, Duan Jian's proposal was in line with Wang Wanjun's thoughts, as soon as she heard Duan Jian's words, she immediately jumped to Duan Jian's side with a smile, pulled Duan Jian's arm and said.

As the largest and only open garden in Chang'an City, Qujiang Garden is not just a tourist attraction but a variety of animation parks for later generations, which contains many tourist attractions, such as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda noted, the Qujiang River Liuyin, and the huge buildings built during the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, known as the garden building of Furong Garden, which are all part of the Qujiang Garden.

With Wang Wanjun's consent, Duan Jian and the others got off the painting boat in the closest place to the Furong Garden, and then walked along the path towards the Furong Garden.

Furong Garden, in fact, was first built on the site of the royal garden Yichun Garden of the Qin Dynasty, because Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not like the word "Qu" of Qujiang, so after the construction of this building, the then Prime Minister Gao Ying named this Qujiang Garden Furong Garden according to the lotus flowers that bloomed in the Qujiang Pond, because at any time, the alias of the lotus flower is called Furong.

It's a pity that the Sui Dynasty soon perished, and this Furong Garden has become a grand scene in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty.

Walking into the Furong Garden, Duan Jian was happy in front of him, later generations said that the Tang Dynasty was the most enlightened and inclusive era in ancient China, but in fact, everything in the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the Sui Dynasty, just like later generations usually compared the Ming and Qing dynasties, because their inheritance is in the same line, but unfortunately the Sui Dynasty was established for too short a time and did not form his unique cultural heritage, but everything in the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the Sui Dynasty.

The continuous buildings in the Furong Garden, the first impression given to Duan Jian is magnificent, the Sui and Tang dynasties, after the five Hu chaos, the great unified dynasty is in the transition period of Chinese civilization, the original conservative, implicit Chinese civilization, because of the invasion of the northern Hu culture, led to great changes in Chinese civilization, which is also the reason why the kings of the Sui and Tang dynasties were more enlightened.

Enlightenment represents tolerance, and tolerance must have an incomparably broad mind, which can be profoundly realized from the architecture of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Tang Dynasty's architecture is large-scale, magnificent, handsome, solemn and generous, neat but not rigid, gorgeous but not delicate, stretched but not ostentatious, simple but full of vitality, it is the perfect embodiment of the spirit of the times at that time, and compared with the Ming and Qing dynasties that later generations focused on the subtleties and exquisiteness, it can be described as a very sharp contrast.

Ziyun Tower, the gorgeous buildings of Caixia Garden, not only made Duan Jian, a person from later generations, dumbfounded, but even Wang Wanjun, a native of the Tang Dynasty, was a little surprised.

Just when Duan Jian and Wang Wanjun were swimming in this carved beams and paintings, and the exquisite and unusual buildings, in the center of the Furong Garden, next to the magnificent and beautiful Qujiang Pond, a team of luxuriously dressed mothers and daughters were also swimming here.

"Twelve Niang, you see how the scenery of this Hibiscus Garden is, originally your father wanted to build a palace here, but after the persuasion of the imperial historians, he had to stop, in fact, think about it carefully, this is good, if you build a palace here, I am afraid that such a lively scene here will not be seen, in that case, wouldn't it be a lot less fun." The older woman, who looked like another woman's mother, said, but unfortunately her words were so easy that if others heard them, I am afraid that they would be horrified.

Because the woman who spoke was the most powerful person today, when she was today's queen mother, Wu Zetian, and she was followed by her youngest daughter and a famous woman in history, Princess Li Lingyue of Taiping.

Hearing Wu Zetian's question, Princess Taiping's always sad face barely leaked a few traces of laughter, but in Wu Zetian's eyes, these few traces of laughter made her heart ache even more.

It also makes people feel funny, Wu Zetian, who usually kills decisively and treats no one with the slightest tenderness, treats this youngest daughter uncharacteristically softly, as long as it is what Princess Taiping wants, Wu Zetian is not allowed, and his love is almost doting, this time the reason why Wu Zetian put down countless court affairs in his hands and appeared in this hibiscus garden with Li Lingyue's micro-clothes is precisely because Wu Zetian recently found that his daughter, who has always loved him, was sad all day long, and she couldn't make her happy by all means, can only take her to this crowded place to relax, hoping to change Li Lingyue's sorrows.

"Twelve mothers, the queen mother sees that you are frowning all day these days, can you not do anything, just today is leisure, it is better to listen to the queen mother, maybe the queen mother can help you solve it, you see how it is." Seeing that Li Lingyue didn't speak, Wu Zetian had no choice but to ask again.

"What does the queen mother mean by this, the child just feels bored in his heart, and has nothing to worry about, today I came to the hibiscus garden to see, I already feel much better, the queen mother should not worry too much." When she said this, Li Lingyue's heart somehow thought of an ordinary face, but it has always made her unforgettable.
