Section 55: At that time, it was only ordinary
The most beautiful life is the time I spent with my loved ones. Yun Luo rarely meets An Chu. Yan Chenyu walked leisurely on the streets, wearing a black baseball cap and black-framed flat glasses, Yun Luo was not outstanding, but just holding a girl in one hand, which was very shining.
An Chuyu and Yan Chenyu seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding. The two girls accompanied Yunluo to play, hugged each other, had a gentle and tranquility as water as water. Of course, if Yunluo dared to mention other girls, they would be pinched by the love of two best friends and scolded them coquettishly.
Yunluo could see that it was obvious that this pair of good friends had joined forces and wanted to watch Yunluo and not allow him to provoke other girls. As for the girl who was already unclear, she would be invisible and unaware of it.
This is the main hall of Hanshan Temple, with flying tiles rising up the ridge and stretching on the corners. A pair of stone pillars in front of the hall is called a dew plate, which is a utensil that monks put rice and water before eating for the so-called hungry ghosts to eat.
There is a bronze tripod in the middle of the terrace. The front of the tripod is cast with a serious book and the back is cast with a hundred alchemy steel. Religious legend: Once, monks and Taoist priests in China had a dispute, and they were able to see whose classics could withstand the fire. The Buddhists put the Diamond Sutra into the fire of the bronze tripod, and the scriptures were safe and sound. In order to praise this past, they engraved this eight characters on the tripod to commemorate them.
The plaque of the Great Hall is hung high on the mast of the hall, and the couplets written by laymen are hung on the court pillars in the hall: The Buddha land is solemn for more than a thousand years, Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City; the 18 pestles are alert and the sound of the sea tide in the middle of the night in Yanfu. The tall Sumeru mount in the middle of the Great Hall is carved with white marble and is crystal clear and white. The golden statue of Shi Ying Muni Buddha is placed on the lotus mount, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes and a peaceful expression.
The elder with white eyebrows standing on the left of the Buddha was named Kashyapa, and the young man standing on the right of the Buddha was named Ananda. They were capable disciples of Tathagata. After the Buddha's death, Kashyapa presided over the first gathering of Buddhist believers on Mount Lingjiu.
Ananda was the Buddha's cousin. He was smart and wise, good at memory. He followed the Buddha for twenty-five years and wrote the Buddha's words on the leaves of the baicale tree, which became Buddhist scriptures. On both sides, they worshipped the eighteen fine iron gilded arhat statues cast during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. They were moved here from Mount Wutai, the Buddhist holy land.
Behind the Buddha statue is different from other temples. It enshrines the stone carvings of Hanshan in the Tang Dynasty, rather than Guanyin, the island. The portrait is from one of the eight monsters in Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty. The brush is bold and rough, and the lines are smooth. In the picture, Hanshan is pointing to the right hand, chatting and laughing; Shida is bare chest and abdomen, listening happily and quiet. Both of them are disheveled and their hair is silly.
The characteristic of the main hall of Hanshan Temple is the back of the hall. Generally, a bell is hung on the wooden frame on the right side of the temple, and a drum is placed on the wooden frame on the left, reflecting the practice of monks in the morning bell and evening drums. But the bell hanging on the right side here is different, this is the Japanese imitation of Tang bronze bell. The inscriptions on the bell are all Chinese characters.
The so-called morning bells and evening drums are a time-calling method in the ancient Tang Dynasty: ringing the bell in the morning starts the day; beating the drum in the evening ends the day of labor. The temple maintains the ancient style and welcomes the bell in the morning, and ends the Buddhist rituals in the evening, which is also called homework.
An Chu met and Yan Chenyu. The two girls walked with Yun Luo, and seemed to have unexplained gentleness. They left the main hall, the Puming Pagoda and the abbot's room on the left, and the famous bell tower that listened to the bells in the middle of the night. The two-story house in front of them was the Sutra Tower. Looking at the roof from afar, you can see the statue group of Tang Monk, Sun Wukong and others to obtain the scriptures in the West.

There are two main reasons why Humble Administrator's Garden is so well-known. One reason is that Humble Administrator's Garden is a treasure among national cultural heritage and a masterpiece among classical gardens in Jiangnan. Its layout design, architectural shape, calligraphy, painting and sculpture, flower and tree gardening are unique, and it is known as the mother of gardens in the world.
Another reason is that the Humble Administrator's Garden once provided an activity place for many people who are powerful on the historical stage. There are three words "Hamble Administrator's Garden" above the main entrance of the high Qingshui brick wall door. The Humble Administrator's Garden was built in the fourth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty. The Censor returned home due to his frustration in the officialdom. He built the site of Dahong Temple as a garden, with pavilions, towers, small bridges and flowing water, and towering ancient trees.
Yun Luo hugged Yan Chenyu and led An Chu to pass the wall door of the Humble Administrator's Garden and the beautiful waist gate. He came to the east of the Humble Administrator's Garden. After entering the garden, the first thing that caught the eyes of the three people was a three-bedroom main hall, called Lanxue Hall. The word Lanxue comes from Li Bai**. The sentence of the breeze sprinkles orchid snow, symbolizing the noble sentiment of the owner as free and as clean as orchid snow.
Entering the antique gate, there is a relatively open and simple garden with light-colored square stones on the ground, surrounded by three flour walls. Under the east wall, a century-old privet tree sways with leaves, and its posture is very painted. In the front wall, a simple flower bed is made of lake stones, with ancient pine and strange stones as the landscaping theme, pointing out the scenery style of the ancient garden.
There are circular cave doors on both sides of the flower bed, which are the passages for tourists to enter and exit the ancient garden. There are two brick-carved doors on it. The left is fascinating and the right is the secret. Two women and one man pass through the cave door, and there is a small patio, and Lanxue Hall is facing it.
Lanxue Hall is a five-chambered cottage with osmanthus trees in the east and west. Behind it is a mountain like a picture, and plum blossoms are planted in all directions. There are bamboos outside the plum blossoms, and bamboos are neighbors. The sound of the Brahma sounds from the bamboos at night and evening, and the environment comes from the bamboos at the time. There is a lacquer carving painting on the screen door in the middle, which is a panoramic view of the Humble Administrator's Garden.
From the picture, Humble Administrator's Garden has three parts: the east, which was once named Guitianyuanju, mainly based on pastoral scenery; the middle, also known as Fuyuan, and wins with the rockery of Chidao, is the essence of Humble Administrator's Garden; the west, also known as Buyuan, most of the buildings in the park were built in the Qing Dynasty, and its architectural style is obviously different from the east and central areas.
Judging from the picture, Humble Administrator's Garden has no obvious central axis and a traditional symmetrical pattern. It is mostly adapted to local conditions, arranged in an orderly manner, sparse and open, and almost natural. It is the most successful example of layout among many gardens in Suzhou.
On the north side of the board is a huge green bamboo picture. In addition to flower tables and other furniture in the hall, there are four marble screens, showing the solemnity and elegance of the main halls of Jiangnan literati gardens.
Yunluo had no intention of seeing the scenery, just caring about hooking up with his two girlfriends, An Chuhui's every frown and smile, Yan Chenyu's anger and resentment. The three of them walked out of Lanxue Hall and saw a rockery, green bamboo bushes and ancient trees, surrounded by a huge stone peak, shaped like clouds, standing tall.
There are two strangely shaped lake stones on the west side, with a small path between the two stones. The stone peak in the middle is called Zhuyun Peak, which is like a huge screen, blocking the tourists' view. This straightforward gardening technique is called a scene blocking and plays a fascinating role.
Bypassing the Zhuyun Peak, you can see these two rocks, one east and one west, Yunlianbi Peak. Many people come here and feel familiar. This is because the great Chinese classical literature masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions". The rockery at the entrance of the Grand View Garden described in the book is very similar to this rockery.
After passing the rockery, it is the main scenery in the east of Humble Administrator's Garden. During the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of Justice bought the east and built it back to the countryside. There are mountain islands, lotus ponds, pine hills, and bamboo walls in the garden, which are a kind of pastoral scenery. In addition to Lanxue Hall, there are also Sour Xiangguan, Tianquan Pavilion, Furong Pavilion, etc.
From the road between the rocks and Lanxue Hall, you can go west. You can reach Hanqing Pavilion. Hanqing Pavilion is a half pavilion based on the wall. The main pavilion is lifted out of the water surface, like a water pavilion. The deputy pavilion on both sides slightly retreats and spreads to the left and right, like a corridor but not a corridor. The main pavilion has two sashes, and the deputy pavilion has one sash. The whole pavilion is like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying.
It adds a flying momentum to the originally straight and monotonous wall. The beauties leaning against the pavilion sit on the small side. The sky is light, clouds and shadows, koi roam and lotus are light. The building with the rooftop of the rolled shed is built near the lotus pond in the northeast of Lanxue Hall is the Furong Pavilion. It is a type of Suzhou garden architecture. It is located on the waterside, facing water on three sides, and is empty on all sides.
There are two types of hibiscus: hibiscus and hibiscus. hibiscus is a color-changing flower. It is light red when the morning glow first appears in the morning, it turns purple when the sun shines directly at noon, and pink when the sunset is setting in the evening, which is very precious. Water hibiscus refers to lotus or lotus. The hibiscus pavilion faces the lotus pond, and is surrounded by high walls, which are open and closed at the same time, forming a strong contrast.
Yunluo and his two girlfriends walked to the door of Furong Pavilion and looked west. They could see a carved round light shield installed on the door frame of the water pavilion. Through this round light shield, you could see the flowing water of the small bridge in front, like an oil painting embedded in a circular frame.
If you walk over and take a closer look, you will find that the door frame of the waterside pavilion is equipped with a carved rectangular floor-to-ceiling cover. The river water in front is winding and winding, and the peach blossoms and willows on both sides are red and green, leading people into a peaceful, quiet, simple and natural state. This is a relatively common landscaping technique in Suzhou gardens, called frame scenery.
The owner of the park wanted to use this method to focus the guests' attention to the best angle to achieve a satisfactory effect. The Tianquan Pavilion stands on a green lawn north of the Furong Pavilion, with sharp corners and double eaves on all sides, which is particularly eye-catching under the blue sky and white clouds. There is a well in the pavilion, which is said to be a relic of the Dahong Temple in the Yuan Dynasty. When building the park, the Tianquan Pavilion was built on the temple interior.
This building seems to be two floors from the outside, but only one floor from the inside. When you admire the buildings in Suzhou gardens, you should look up at the tall pavilions. If you stand under the corner of Tianquan Pavilion and stare at the floating clouds, you seem to feel the pavilions soaring in the blue sky. This is the mystery of the fact that most Suzhou garden buildings have horns.
In addition to being conducive to lighting and ventilation, these corners mainly increase dynamic and aesthetics, and have become one of the local characteristics of Suzhou architecture. The four-sided hall with a light and bright appearance and a larger size is the Sour Scent House. As the name suggests, the Sour Scent House is a place to enjoy the fragrance of rice and wheat.
The owner of the Ming Dynasty who returned to the countryside once built a sorghum Tower in the garden, hoping to imitate the fun of Tao Yuanming resigning from his post and returning to the countryside. The building can be seen everywhere. Every time at the turn of summer and autumn, the family planted sorghum in their homes, they were all in sight. The main building of the sorghum Hall I saw now was moved from Dongshan when the Humble Administrator's Garden was renovated. Its size was relatively large, slightly different from the original scenery.
The pavilion is taken from Bai Juyi's view of the green mountains. It is the highest point in the east garden of Humble Administrator's Garden. The north is the Furong Pavilion and the Tianquan Pavilion are opposite. Next to the camphor tree in the southwest corner, there is a rockery sketch on the Chi Island. This lake stone rockery is topped with a large stone, which looks like a small wooden boat that is overturned to be repaired.
The lake in front is wide, surrounded by bushes, and there are a few reeds not far away, just like a small harbor beside Taihu Lake. The garden owners of ancient Suzhou gardens were some court ministers, some were officials of the border, and some were sent out of prefectures and counties. They also worked hard for a while, but they stepped down for various reasons and returned home. In Suzhou, far away from Kyoto, they found a quiet harbor.
The customs here are elegant and rich in resources. They can enjoy all the blessings and avoid political enemies, making it the best place for dignitaries to choose after retreating.
It is precisely for this reason that they particularly appreciate the Buddhist theory of emptiness, Taoism's thoughts on the birth of the world, and Confucianism's advocacy of seclusion. They use the theme of avoiding the world and being indifferent to create wild interest in the mountains and forests, and want to realize their personality ideals in the small world of **.
As the saying goes, a leaf on a small boat is wandering around the world and rarely visited, so I can only make my home.
The eastern and central parts of the Humble Administrator's Garden are separated by a long replica gallery. There are twenty-five leaky windows on the walls of the corridor, just like finely made paper-cut patterns, embedded on the long painting scrolls. People walk in the corridor. As the patterns of leaky windows are changed, the scenery in the garden is constantly changing.
This phenomenon is called moving and changing scenery. If you look closely, you will see that the different patterns on the leaking windows are all water ripples and ice ribs. The cheerful ripples in the pool are superimposed on the solidified ripples on the windows, which further exaggerates the atmosphere of Suzhou water culture.
The third scenic spot in the central garden of Humble Administrator's Garden is the Loquat Garden, located in the southeast of Yuanxiangtang. It is the garden in the central garden in the central garden of Humble Administrator's Garden. It is named after the planting of loquat trees. The garden door of the Loquat Garden is cleverly designed.
Yun Luo walked here and saw a cloud wall in front, with peonies planted on both sides. As the saying goes, there is no way out. I really didn't expect that as long as I walked forward, I could find that the rockery made of yellow stone blocked a door hole next to it. As people approached step by step, the door hole expanded bit by bit. When they arrived at the door, they found that the door hole was like a bright moon, embedded on the white cloud wall.
After passing the door, walk forward. The bright moon was slowly blocked by the lake stone rockery here. Looking at the moon cave gate and the peony flowers, people can't help but think of the allusion of the moon shy flowers. This moon cave gate is like a huge treasure mirror, and the scenery in the courtyard seems to be the shadow of the scenery outside the courtyard.
The owner cleverly chose the best location for the Piyue Cave Gate, so that the three points of the Xuexiang Yunwei Pavilion Yue Cave Gate Jiashi Pavilion are in the same line of sight, and contact the beautiful scenery in front and back through the Yue Cave Gate, thus forming a group of scenery. It can be seen that when opening doors and opening windows in Suzhou classical gardens, in addition to considering entry and exit and lighting, pay special attention to the capture of the picture, striving to have scenery everywhere, and the scenery moves with the steps.
The third scenic area is mainly courtyard buildings. There are Linglong Pavilion Jiashi Pavilion Tingyuxuan and Haitang Chunwu. These buildings divide the space into three small courtyards. This landscaping technique is called the separation of scenery, so as to enrich the garden scenery and hide new scenery.

Huqiu is the first to be famous in Suzhou. Huqiu is known as the number one in Wuzhong. The great writer Su Dongpo said that it is a pity not to visit Huqiu when he goes to Suzhou. Huqiu shows its unparalleled artistic charm because of its beauty and magnificence of natural landscapes and rich and profound cultural landscapes. The Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty went to Jiangnan six times, and the Huqiu six times. Qianlong also went to Jiangnan six times, and also visited Huqiu six times.
Yun Luo, who was carrying An Chu to meet Yan Chenyu, saw a three-door archway with flying eaves and raised corners. The first mountain in Wuzhong was written on the forehead. When passing the archway, there was a three-legged tripod standing in the middle of the road. On the tripod, there was a three-legged tripod standing in the middle of the road. The inscription on the tripod was the Prince of Zhou Wu Ding. Behind the tripod was the bridge of the mountain gate, and the words "Haiyong" were written on it. It means that the Huqiu Mountain surged out of the sea, and after passing the screen, you entered the Huqiu Scenic Area.
According to legend, in ancient times, this place was once a bay on the eastern coastline. The tiger hill was a small island made up of scorching magma produced by volcanic eruptions. It was flooded by water at high tide and poured out of the sea at low tide. It was called Haiyong Mountain or Haiyong Peak at the time. Over time, sea and land changed, and Haiyong Peak evolved into a hill on the land.
Over the past thousands of years, countless heroes and literati and scholars have performed many majestic and magnificent historical dramas with the stage of Huqiu, thus leaving countless precious relics and adding a strong legendary color. It can be said that Huqiu is an encyclopedia of Suzhou history.
As the saying goes, the Wushan Mountain in Huqiu is called a wonder in the southeast. There are natural huge stones, thousands of people, stones; there are rare cliffs, steep stone walls of sword ponds; there are dense forests and migratory bird landscapes. There are famous bonsai exhibitions in Wanjing Mountain Villa. Since ancient times, Huqiu has also been a prosperous place for merchants. Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, vendors gathered here and there were many wine shops.
During the Qingming Festival outings and temple fairs, Tiger Hill is crowded and lively. It is precisely because Tiger Hill has many historical relics, rich cultural atmosphere and beautiful natural scenery that makes it the first choice tourist destination in Suzhou.
In other words, visiting Tiger Craftsmen has its own unique flavor, whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, or sunny, rain and snow, and has become the number one mountain in Wuzhong and the number one scenic spot in Wuzhong.

No matter how beautiful the trip is, it is at the end. The wonderful journey of Yunluo holding his left and right was stopped by the phone call from the little princess Koala herself. Koala told Yunluo proudly that she could come to Paris to start filming a movie.
It is obvious that the little princess was very unhappy about Yunluo's farewell without saying goodbye to the last time, and she thought about how to mess with Yunluo after she arrived in Paris. Anyway, the two of them had to stay together for two or three months, so the koala was not in a hurry, take it slowly.
Yun Luo took Xiang Chuchunzi and the little red mouse Tangtang away with An Chu when she met Yan Chenyu. It was at this time that An Chuyue came to her senses. Xiang Chuchunzi was not her little maid, but a celebrity assistant arranged by Sony Company for Yun Luo, including a living assistant.
Before boarding the plane, my sister-in-law An Qingju gave her brother-in-law a loving hug. Yunluo said goodbye with a smile. Xiangchu Junzi followed Yunluo obediently and quietly, and Hongshi Tangtang hid in a vain and honest manner on Yunluo.
What Yunluo didn't know was that after he went abroad, the cold and beautiful Yan Chenyu returned to Sihai City, and then became Miss Zhen Mi's personal secretary. Liu Xun never took the black cat black charcoal away. This lazy cat became An Chuyu's pet. Suddenly, she became cold and An Chuyu was still a little uncomfortable.
