Chapter Seventy-Three: Jiangnan Gardens

Everyone's three views are different, so their thoughts will be very different.

Different people look at the same thing and have different perspectives, so the results will be different.

-------------------------------------

Before the class was finished, there was still about half an hour left, and Lin Yun ran away.

No matter how beautiful the teacher is, he is still the important and rational man in the hotel, and he knows how to make a choice, and no matter how beautiful the teacher is, his lectures are boring.

Most of the people in the classroom are men, and these old people are addicted to beauty and can't be said to be more serious than listening to the class.

Back at the hotel, it was only half past nine.

This is the most difficult to absorb the grace of the beauty, and someone who has been riding in the car for a day and tossing for half the night is a thousand times to get up.

When a woman wakes up, she naturally wants to dress up, change her outfit, put on exquisite makeup and go out.

Most of the beautiful and beautiful women are meticulous.

After dressing up all year round, I slowly developed good patience.

Generally, women who can wear makeup are very patient, and women who are patient are naturally meticulous.

Of course, the kind of celebrities who even have to ask for makeup don't count.

"Jing'er, you only ate two bites of this noodle, it's too wasteful, aren't you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry, I can't eat!"

Lin Yun, who felt that he needed to eat a lot of food to replenish his energy, picked up the noodles that had cooled down and softened, and feasted on them.

After eating, I was still a little unsatisfied, and I took a sip of noodle soup, which happened to be seen by someone on the porch who had finished putting on makeup.

"You're pretty good at eating, but you're hungry just after breakfast and a class?"

"You can only do it if you can eat it!"

“……”

Li Jing is used to the routine of these two poles, and she doesn't bother to bother with him.

If this product can't say three sentences, it is easy to lead people crookedly and make people speechless.

In fact, Lin Yun was not born like this, but the workers on the construction site like this kind of chat rhythm the most, and it is imperceptible, Lin Yun is not only out of school, but also out of the blue.

Five bus stops, you will come to this world-famous lake.

There is a reason why the world is famous for its nature, because it is in the middle of the city.

Both domestic and foreign people love to come to this place to see, and foreign women can often be seen jogging on the road along the lake.

Housing prices are high in the area, as well as villas and private homes, and foreign women who can run here are naturally rich or expensive.

Usually there are a lot of people in this place, and there are even more people during the New Year's holidays, and the Chinese people seem to like to travel together.

During the New Year's holidays, the major scenic spots are crowded with people, and then someone wants to say, why do you have to go when there are many people?

Actually, it's not, because of our holiday flexibility, who doesn't want to see the scenery quietly, but can't see it, usually everyone is busy, are running for life, there is really no way to stagger the time to travel.

And many people go to see the scenery, that is, they go to the scenery more, the mountains and rivers, flowers and plants can be the scenery, and for the single opposite sex, people can also be the scenery.

Swimming in the lake is free, but there is a charge for taking a boat, taking an elevator to climb the tower, etc.

Lin Yun was very happy, because others came to see the scenery, and he brought the scenery with him.

Some people say that the road of life is full of surprises along the way, but no matter what kind of surprise, it is never as comfortable as going on the road with the scenery.

Someone is wearing a floral long gauze skirt, long hair that is scattered, a pair of herringbone sandals, and simple and meticulous makeup, but he is still beautiful, and he is getting more and more beautiful.

It drizzles at some point near the lake, and it's definitely luck.

In the rain and fog, the two held hands and shuttled among the tourists in twos and threes, without umbrellas, because most of them did not have umbrellas.

In the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the umbrella is really a burden.

The lake area is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is connected to the city on one side.

All sorts of embankments, all sorts of willow trees, divide the lake into several large pieces.

The fallen branches of the willow tree danced in the wind, and even the little squirrel climbed down from the tree to receive food from the visitors.

There are stone benches on the embankment within a few steps, but they are already soaked by the rain, and there is no way to sit on them.

There are small boats in the lake that can seat up to four people, and there is a canopy on top.

There are couples, families, with snacks, boating on the lake, looking at the rainy, foggy lake and mountains in the rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

This place really has the power to calm people's hearts.

"Wow, I'm going on a boat!"

"Okay, I want to sit too!"

Lin Yun took Li Jing to find a small boat at random.

The middle-aged uncle who was holding the boat stuck a bamboo pole into the silt at the bottom of the lake to stabilize the boat, and Lin Yun even saw bubbles tumbling up along the position where the bamboo pole was inserted.

The silt at the bottom of the lake is the best nourishment, accumulated for thousands of years, and has become the resources for the survival of the creatures in the lake.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and this three feet of silt is also the work of thousands of years.

The uncle held the boat steady, and Lin Yun stepped onto the boat from the small pier that extended from the embankment steps.

The hull of the boat shook slightly, stabilized his body, turned around and carefully led Li Jing up.

The boat is all wooden, except for the tarpaulins on the top of the seats.

When the two of them got on the boat, they sat down slowly.

The uncle sat down, and the bamboo pole was pointed to the stone steps of the pier, and then the boat broke through the water and floated out of the lake.

When the boat floated out more than ten meters, the uncle lowered the bamboo pole along the edge of the boat and began to slowly shake the oars.

This rowing is also a technical job, the uncle's two hands have different strengths and directions, and the hull of the boat slowly turns around.

Because the boat was too small, Lin Yun was a little worried about the poor balance, so he didn't sit with Li Jing, but sat opposite each other.

When you arrive at the lake, you will naturally have the scenery in the lake, and the field of vision will begin to widen, and the willow trees on the embankment will become a bunch of willows, and the people on the embankment will disappear from time to time in the strings of willow trees.

"Click"

On the shore, a man who could only distinguish gender from his dress and body shape was holding up his camera to record the beautiful scenery.

"I knew I was here with a camera."

Li Jing, who has become a beautiful scenery with this boat, is muttering.

"There are so many beautiful places in the world that you can't record them all with a camera."

"Why not!"

Bar-raising debates are not only daily among trolls, but also among couples.

"Because nothing can depict the truth, just like you, no matter how I describe it, no one who has seen you can never know your beauty!"

Lin Er's sycophant is very useful to Li Jing, but in the ears of the uncle who holds the boat, it is a different taste, and he has already identified the fact that Lin Erpole licks the dog in his heart.

"Young man, let me tell you a story!"

It's naturally good to have a story to listen to, everyone loves to listen to stories, but there is a premise, the story must be exciting.

The story is very cliché, the story of Emperor Qianlong who went down to the south of the Yangtze River to meet a beautiful woman on the lake, and finally got what he wanted, the uncle may want to use this story to give the two of them a good start.

Lin Erzhuzi was grateful, but he didn't care about this, he was very curious about the palace by the lake mentioned by the uncle.

Look at the scenery, popular scenery naturally has the cultural heritage of popular scenery, many times it is not necessarily to see the excitement, but also to watch the doorway, because everyone's focus is different.

Said Jiangnan, there must be Qianlong, Qianlong loves the country, also loves the beauty, loves the beautiful scenery, also loves to write paintings and poems, and loves to boat on the lake, the legend is that five of the seven southern tours of Qianlong have been here.

Qianlong, who toured the south seven times, still has a palace by this lake.

During the reign of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, Li Xiu, the loyal king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, became the siege of Tianjing (now Nanjing), and led the Taiping army to capture the city twice in 1860 and 1861.

During the war, the palace was destroyed in 1861.

Later late Qing Dynasty. Due to internal and external difficulties, the government was no longer able to repair the palace until the Xinhai Revolution was overthrown.

In 1927, in order to commemorate Sun Yat-sen, part of the site was turned into Zhongshan Park.

Although there is no Sun Yat-sen's words and no statue of Sun Yat-sen in the garden, the ruins of the Qing Emperor's palace symbolize Sun Yat-sen's great achievements in destroying the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

"Big brother, where is this palace?"

Lin Erpole was very curious,

"You have already walked through the ruins of this palace, and you will go to see it when you go back in the afternoon, on the lonely mountain over there."

"Ruins?"

"That's right, it was destroyed by the Taiping Army back then!"

"Then why did the Taiping Army destroy it?"

"Listening to the stories passed down by the old people, the Taiping Army said that this palace is a symbol of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a nail inserted in the south of the Yangtze River by the Qing Dynasty, and it must be destroyed."

"It's a pity!"

"Who's to say it isn't!"

“……”

No matter how bad the dynasty is, it will leave good things, but it's a pity that there are too few things left by this decadent last feudal dynasty.

The Old Summer Palace, the Summer Palace, and the Qing Palace by the lake were not spared in the war of the changing times.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and not only will robbers come into your house and beat you and rob you of your treasures, but your own people will fight in your own house.

This Jiangnan garden architecture began in the Southern Song Dynasty, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, to reach its peak, attaching importance to the creation of mountains, stacked stones, water management and other creative skills.

Jiangnan garden to water for the beauty, quiet in the noisy, and advocating strange flowers and plants, there are mountains, water, flowers and trees in the garden.

The architectural style adopts a variety of water-friendly pavilions and pavilions, walking through the plank road in the water, and seemingly randomly stacked and full of artistic conception of stacked stones, stacked water.

The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is good at waterscapes, and the water and stones reflect each other, constituting the main scenery of the garden.

Taihu Lake produces strange stones, exquisitely colorful, planted in the garden, can be enjoyed.

Song Huizong's Genyue, set up a flower stone gang for carrying Taihu Lake stone peaks, scattered relics still have survivors, such as Shanghai Yu Garden Jade Linglong, Hangzhou Botanical Garden Crepe Cloud Peak, Suzhou Ruiyun Peak.

And the development of stacked stones for the mountain, in addition to the Taihu Lake stone, and with Huangshi, Xuanshi and so on.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were many famous masters of stacked stones, such as Zhou Bingzhong, Ji Cheng, Zhang Nanyuan, Shi Tao, Ge Yuliang, etc., who were active in the Jiangnan area and made great contributions to garden art.

Today's survivors, Yangzhou stone mountain, house rockery, according to legend, from the hands of Shi Tao.

Ge Yuliang's stacked mountains, represented by the rockery of Suzhou Huanxiu Villa, are still intact today. Changshu Yanyuan Huangshi Lake rockery has been repaired and lost its old view.

It's a pity that today's lakeside is full of modern antique buildings, although the shape is similar, but it has long lost its former style.

The shadowy pavilions and plank roads by the lake seem to be antique, but none of them are brick and wood structures, and the reinforced concrete structures are all painted on the outside.

Sturdy and durable, but not essential.

Lin Yun is engaged in engineering, naturally has a considerable understanding of wood structure building, China's ancient architectural history is to give full play to the wood structure.

Stepping on the stone as the base, with the wood as the column, the horizontal wood as the beam, the cut wood as the purlin, coupled with the blue bricks and tiles, a few in and a few out of the yard, the style is light, than the reinforced concrete high-rise building is a hundred times more comfortable.

Well, it would be better to have three wives and four concubines, and a few maids who are as beautiful as flowers.

Amitabha, the remnants of feudalism kill people.

After taking Li Jing for a day, this beauty is more interested in visiting scenic spots than shopping, and she still stops complaining from time to time about why she didn't bring a camera.

People who are particular about it have always been exquisite, Lin Yun is very curious, and he has taken so many pictures with his mobile phone, which point is not as good as a camera.

Cameras kill painters and painters, digital cameras kill film cameras, and mobile phones kill digital cameras, just as reinforced concrete kills brick and timber buildings.

This is the need for development, and this is the characteristic of the times.

Tired, leg pain, in addition to the freshness of the first two or three hours of visiting the scenic spot, tiredness has become all the feelings of Lin Er's pole, is it uncomfortable to sit in the electric sightseeing car, but someone is not allowed.
