The most beautiful thing in life is the time spent with the ones you love. Yunluo had a rare opportunity to stroll leisurely on the street with An Chuyu and Yan Chenyu. Wearing a black baseball cap and black-framed plain glasses, Yunluo did not stand out, but he was holding a girl's hand, which was very shining.

An Chuyu and Yan Chenyu seemed to have some kind of unspoken tacit understanding. The two girls accompanied Yunluo to play, held hands and hugged, ate together, took walks together, took photos together, and there was a gentle tranquility like water. Of course, if Yunluo dared to mention other girls, she would be scolded by the two girlfriends.

Yunluo could see that it was obvious that this pair of best friends had teamed up to keep an eye on Yunluo and not allow him to mess with other girls. As for the girl with whom he was already unclear, they also wanted to turn a blind eye to her.

This is the main hall of Hanshan Temple, the Mahavira Hall, with high ridges and wide corners. The pair of stone pillars in front of the hall are called Lupan, which is the container where monks put rice and water before meals to feed the so-called hungry ghosts.

In the center of the terrace is a copper tripod with a serious face on the front and refined steel on the back. Religious legend: Once, a dispute arose between a monk and a Taoist priest in China, and they wanted to see whose scripture could withstand the fire. The Buddhists put the Diamond Sutra into the fire of the copper tripod, and the scripture remained intact. In order to commemorate this past event, these eight characters were engraved on the tripod.

The plaque of the Mahavira Hall is hung on the mast of the temple, and the couplets written by lay Buddhists are hung on the pillars in the hall: The solemnity of the Buddha's land for more than a thousand years, the Hanshan Temple outside the city of Suzhou; the 108 pestles awaken people's hearts, the sound of the sea tide in the middle of the night in Yama. The tall Sumeru pedestal in the center of the Mahavira Hall is carved and built with white marble, crystal white. The golden statue of Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined on the lotus pedestal, with kind eyes and a peaceful expression.

The elder with white eyebrows standing on the left of the Buddha is called Kasyapa, and the young man standing on the right of the Buddha is called Ananda. They are the capable disciples of Tathagata. After the Buddha passed away, Kasyapa presided over the first gathering of Buddhist believers on Vulture Peak.

Ananda was the cousin of the Buddha. He was smart and wise, and good at memorizing. He followed the Buddha for 25 years and wrote down the Buddha's words on the leaves of the palm tree, which became the Buddhist scriptures. On both sides of the wall are eighteen fine iron gilded Arhat statues cast during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. They were moved here from the Buddhist holy land of Mount Wutai.

Behind the Buddha statue, unlike other temples, there are stone carvings of Hanshan and Shide from the Tang Dynasty, instead of the Guanyin of the island. The painting was done by one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, with bold and rough brushstrokes and smooth lines. In the painting, Hanshan points to the ground with his right hand, talking and laughing; Shide bares his chest and belly, listening happily. Both of them have disheveled hair and look naive.

The characteristic of the main hall of Hanshan Temple lies in the back of the hall. In general, 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 side, reflecting the monks' daily life of morning bell and evening drum. But the bell hanging on the right side here is different. It is a Japanese-style bronze bell made in imitation of the Tang Dynasty. The inscriptions on the bell are all in Chinese characters.

The so-called morning bell and evening drum is a way of telling time in the ancient Tang Dynasty: ringing the bell in the morning marks the beginning of the day, and beating the drum in the evening marks the end of a day's work. Temples maintain the ancient custom of ringing the bell in the morning and beating the drum in the evening to end a day's Buddhist affairs, also known as homework.

An Chuyu and Yan Chenyu. The two girls walked with Yunluo, and there seemed to be a gentleness that needed no explanation. Exiting the main hall, the left leads to the Puming Pagoda and the abbot's room, and the right leads to the famous bell tower where you can hear the midnight bell. The two-story building in front is the Sutra Library. Looking at the roof from a distance, you can see the statues of Tang Monk, Sun Wukong and others who went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures.

There are two main reasons why the Humble Administrator's Garden is so well-known. One reason is that the Humble Administrator's Garden is a treasure of national cultural heritage and a masterpiece of Jiangnan classical gardens. It is unique in layout design, architectural modeling, calligraphy and painting, sculpture, flowers and trees, and gardening, and is known as the mother of gardens in the world.

Another reason is that the Humble Administrator's Garden has provided a venue for many influential figures on the historical stage. Above the tall brick wall main entrance is a brick-carved door plaque with the three characters "Humble Administrator's Garden" in gold. The Humble Administrator's Garden was first built in the fourth year of the Zhengde reign of the Ming Dynasty. The censor returned home due to frustration in the officialdom and built the garden on the site of the Dahong Temple. The garden is full of pavilions, towers, small bridges, flowing water, and towering ancient trees.

Yunluo held Yan Chenyu in his arms and led An Chuyu through the wall gate and the waist gate of the Humble Administrator's Garden, and arrived at the eastern part of the Humble Administrator's Garden. After entering the garden, the first thing that caught the three people's eyes was a three-bay hall named Lanxue Hall. The word Lanxue comes from Li Bai's sentence "I stand alone between heaven and earth, and the breeze sprinkles the orchid snow", which symbolizes the noble sentiment of the owner, who is as unrestrained as the spring breeze and as clean as the orchid snow.

Entering the antique gate, there is a relatively open and simple garden. The ground is paved with light-colored square stones and surrounded by white walls on three sides. At the foot of the east wall, a century-old privet tree with swaying branches and leaves looks very picturesque. In the middle of the front wall, a simple flower bed is built with lake stones, with ancient pines and strange stones as the landscaping theme, highlighting the scenery style of the ancient garden.

There are round gates on both sides of the flower bed, which are the passages for visitors to enter and exit the ancient garden. There are two brick-carved door lintels on them, the left one is "Enter the Wonderful Place" and the right one is "Tongyou". The two women and one man walked through the gates and came to a small patio, where Lanxue Hall was in front of them.

Lanxue Hall is a thatched house with five rooms, with osmanthus trees on the east and west as screens. Behind it is a mountain like a painting, with plum blossoms planted vertically and horizontally. Beyond the plum blossoms are bamboos, which are neighbors. Buddhist chants can be heard from the bamboos from time to time, creating a secluded environment. There is a lacquer carving on the screen door in the middle, which is a panoramic view of the Humble Administrator's Garden.

As can be seen from the map, the Humble Administrator's Garden is divided into three parts: the eastern part, once named Guitianyuanju, is dominated by pastoral scenery; the central part, also called Fu Garden, is famous for its ponds, islands and rockery, and is the essence of the Humble Administrator's Garden; the western part, also called Bu Garden, most of the buildings in the garden were built in the Qing Dynasty, and its architectural style is obviously different from that of the eastern and central parts.

Judging from the picture, the Humble Administrator's Garden has no obvious central axis and no traditional symmetrical pattern. Most of them are adapted to local conditions, staggered and well-arranged, open and spacious, close to nature. It is the most successful example of layout among many gardens in Suzhou.

On the north side of the board is a huge bamboo painting. In addition to furniture such as flower tables and piano tables, there are also four marble screens in the hall, showing the solemnity and elegance of the main halls of the Jiangnan literati gardens.

Yun Luo had no time to look at the scenery, he was only concerned with flirting with his two girlfriends, An Chuyu's smiles and frowns, Yan Chenyu's anger and complaints. The three of them walked out of Lan Xue Tang and saw a rockery in front of them, with verdant bamboo groves and ancient trees surrounding a huge stone peak that looked like a cloud, standing tall.

There are two strangely shaped lake rocks on the west side, with a narrow path between them. The stone peak in the middle is called Zhuiyun Peak, which is like a huge screen, blocking the sight of tourists. This straightforward gardening technique is called a screen, which plays a fascinating role.

Going around Zhuiyun Peak, you can see these two rocks, one in the east and one in the west, Yunlian Bifeng. Many people who come here have a sense of déjà vu. This is because the rockery at the entrance of the Grand View Garden described in the book is very similar to this rockery.

After the rockery, you will see the main scenery of the eastern part of the Humble Administrator's Garden. During the Ming Dynasty, the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice bought the eastern part and built a pastoral residence. There are mountain islands, lotus ponds, pine hills, and bamboo groves in the garden, which is a pastoral scenery. In addition to the Lanxue Hall, the main buildings in this part include the Shuxiang Pavilion, Tianquan Pavilion, and Furong Pavilion.

Go west along the road between Shanshi and Lanxue Hall. You will reach Hanqing Pavilion. Hanqing Pavilion is a half pavilion built on the wall facing the water. The main pavilion is raised above the water, like a waterside pavilion. The two side pavilions are slightly set back and spread out to the left and right, like corridors but not corridors. The main pavilion has two ridges and the side pavilion has one ridge. The whole pavilion is like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly.

The originally straight and monotonous wall is given a flying momentum. The beauty is sitting on the side of the pavilion. The sky and clouds are reflected in the water, and the koi are swimming. The lotus is swaying gently. The building with a curved roof and a hip roof built by the water on the northeast side of Lanxue Hall is the Furong Pavilion. The pavilion is a type of Suzhou garden architecture, located by the water, facing the water on three sides and open on the four sides.

There are two types of hibiscus: wood hibiscus and water hibiscus. Wood hibiscus is a color-changing flower. It is light red in the morning when the morning glow appears, turns purple-red when the sun shines directly at noon, and turns pink in the evening when the sun sets. It is very precious. Water hibiscus refers to lotus or lotus. The Hibiscus Pavilion faces the lotus pond, and there is a high wall behind it. One side is open and the other side is closed, forming a strong contrast.

Yunluo and his two girlfriends walked to the door of Hibiscus Pavilion and looked to the west. They could see a carved round light cover on the door frame of the entrance to the pavilion. Through the round light cover, they could see the small bridge and flowing water in front, like an oil painting inlaid in a round frame.

If you walk over and take a closer look, you can find a carved rectangular floor-standing cover installed on the door frame of the waterside pavilion. The river in front is winding and the banks are full of pink peach blossoms and green willows, which lead people into a peaceful, tranquil, simple and natural realm. This is a common landscaping technique in Suzhou gardens, called framed scenery.

The owner of the garden wanted to use this method to focus the guests' sight at the best angle to achieve a satisfactory effect. Tianquan Pavilion stands on a green lawn to the north of Furong Pavilion. It has pointed corners and double eaves on eight 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 Dahong Temple in the Yuan Dynasty. When the garden was built, Tianquan Pavilion was built on the temple well.

This building looks like it has two floors from the outside, but it only has one floor from the inside. To appreciate the buildings in Suzhou gardens, you have to look up at the tall buildings. If you stand under the corner of Tianquan Pavilion and gaze at the floating clouds, it seems that the building is flying in the blue sky. This is the secret of the corners on most of the buildings in Suzhou gardens.

These angles, in addition to being conducive to lighting and ventilation, mainly add a sense of movement and beauty, becoming one of the local characteristics of Suzhou architecture. The large four-sided hall in front with a brisk and bright appearance is the Shuxiang Pavilion. As the name suggests, the Shuxiang Pavilion is a place to enjoy the fragrance of rice and wheat.

The owner of Guitianyuanju in the Ming Dynasty built Shuxiang Pavilion in the garden, hoping to imitate the pleasure of Tao Yuanming who resigned from his official position and returned to the countryside. From the pavilion, you can see all around, and every time at the turn of summer and autumn, you can see the sorghum planted in the fields. The main building of Shuxiang Pavilion we see now was moved from Dongshan when the Humble Administrator's Garden was rebuilt. It is larger in size and slightly different from the original scenery.

The name of the pavilion is inspired by Bai Juyi's poem "Looking at the Green Mountains". It is the highest point in the East Garden of the Humble Administrator's Garden. It faces the Furong Pavilion and Tianquan Pavilion to the north. There is a small rockery on the island in the southwest corner next to the camphor tree. This rockery is topped with a large stone, and its shape is very similar to a small wooden boat turned upside down and waiting to be repaired.

The lake in front is open, surrounded by bushes and a few reeds not far away, just like a small harbor on the Taihu Lake. The owners of ancient Suzhou gardens were some court officials, some were frontier officials, and some were exiled to prefectures and counties. Some of them worked hard for a while and returned to their hometowns for various reasons. In Suzhou, far away from the capital, they found a quiet harbor.

The customs here are elegant and the resources are abundant. One can enjoy a peaceful life while avoiding political enemies. It has become the best place for dignitaries to choose after retirement.

It is for this reason that they particularly appreciate the Buddhist doctrine of emptiness, the Taoist thought of escaping the world, and the Confucian advocacy of seclusion. They take escapism and indifference as the theme, create the wildness of mountains and forests, and hope to realize their personal ideals in their independent little world.

As the saying goes, a small boat is my home. Wandering around the world, where few people go.

The eastern and central parts of the Humble Administrator's Garden are separated by a long corridor. There are 25 lattice windows on the walls of the corridor, which look like intricately carved paper-cut patterns inlaid on a long scroll. People stroll in the corridor. As the patterns of the lattice windows change, the scenery in the garden is constantly changing.

This phenomenon is called changing scenery. If you look closely, you will find that the different patterns on the lattice windows all represent water ripples and ice ridges. The cheerful ripples in the pool are superimposed on the solidified ripples on the window, further enhancing the atmosphere of Suzhou's water culture.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The third scenic spot in the central garden of the Humble Administrator's Garden is the Loquat Garden, located to the southeast of Yuanxiang Hall. It is a garden within a garden in the central garden of the Humble Administrator's Garden. It is named after the loquat trees planted there. The gate of the Loquat Garden is very cleverly designed.

Yunluo walked here and saw a wall of clouds in front of him, with peonies planted on both sides. It was as if there was no way out. I didn't expect that as long as I walked forward, I would find that the rockery made of yellow stones covered a doorway next to it. As people approached step by step, the doorway expanded little by little. When I arrived at the door, I found that the doorway was like a bright moon, embedded in the white cloud wall.

After passing through the gate, walk forward. The bright moon is slowly covered by the lake rockery. Looking at the moon gate and peony flowers, one can't help but think of the allusion of "the moon is so beautiful that the flowers are ashamed". This moon gate is like a huge mirror, and the scenery in the courtyard seems to be the shadow of the scenery outside the courtyard.

The owner of the garden cleverly chose the best location for the moon-shaped gate, so that the three points of Xuexiangyunwei Pavilion, the moon-shaped gate and Jiashi Pavilion are on the same line of sight, and the moon-shaped gate connects the beautiful scenery in front and behind, thus forming a group of opposite views. This shows that when opening doors and windows in Suzhou classical gardens, in addition to considering access and lighting, they also pay special attention to capturing the picture, striving to have scenery everywhere and the scenery changes with every step.

The third scenic area is dominated by courtyard buildings. There are Linglong Pavilion, Jiashi Pavilion, Tingyu Pavilion and Haitang Chunwu. These buildings divide the space into three small courtyards. This landscaping technique is called separation of scenery, which enriches the garden scenery and hides new scenery.

Tiger Hill is the most famous scenic spot in Suzhou. Tiger Hill is known as the most famous scenic spot in Wuzhong. The great writer Su Dongpo said that it would be a pity if you did not visit Tiger Hill when you visit Suzhou. Tiger Hill has an incomparable artistic charm due to its beautiful natural landscape and rich and profound cultural landscape. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty went to the south of the Yangtze River six times and visited Tiger Hill six times. Emperor Qianlong also went to the south of the Yangtze River six times and visited Tiger Hill six times.

Yun Luo, who was with An Chuyu, saw a three-door memorial archway from a distance, with flying eaves and corners, and the inscription "The First Mountain in Wuzhong" on the archway. After passing the memorial archway, there was a three-legged tripod standing in the middle of the road, with the inscription "Prince Zhou Wu Ding" on the tripod. Behind the tripod was the screen wall of the mountain gate, with the words "Hai Yong" written on it. It means that Tiger Hill surged out of the sea. After passing the screen wall, you will enter the Tiger Hill scenic area.

According to legend, in ancient times, this place was once a bay on the eastern coastline, and Tiger Hill was an island formed by the accumulation of hot magma produced by volcanic eruptions. It was submerged by water at high tide and surged out of the sea at low tide. At that time, it was called Haiyong Mountain or Haiyong Peak. Over time, the sea and land changed, and Haiyong Peak evolved into a hill on land.

For thousands of years, countless heroes, scholars and scholars have performed many magnificent historical dramas on the stage of Tiger Hill, leaving behind countless precious relics and adding a strong legendary color. It can be said that Tiger Hill is an encyclopedia of Suzhou's history.

As the saying goes, Tiger Hill Wu Xiaoshan is a wonder in the southeast. There are natural giant stones such as Qianren Stone, rare cliffs such as Jianchi Stone, dense forests and migratory bird sights such as herons returning home at dusk, and the famous bonsai exhibition Wanjing Villa. Tiger Hill has been a prosperous place for merchants since ancient times. Especially during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, merchants gathered here and wine shops were everywhere.

During the Qingming Festival and Shantang Temple Fair, Tiger Hill is crowded with people and bustling. It is precisely because of its numerous historical relics, rich cultural atmosphere and beautiful natural scenery that Tiger Hill has become the first choice for Suzhou.

In other words, visiting Hujiang has its unique flavor no matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, or whether it is sunny, rainy or snowy, making it the number one mountain and the number one scenic spot in Wuzhong.

…

No matter how wonderful a trip is, it must come to an end. Yunluo's wonderful journey with girls on both sides came to an end when Princess Koala called her personally. Koala proudly told Yunluo that she could come to Paris to start filming.

It was obvious that the little princess was very unhappy about Yunluo's last departure without saying goodbye, and she was thinking about how to treat Yunluo after he arrived in Paris. Anyway, the two of them would stay together for two or three months, so Koala was not in a hurry and could take it slow.

Yunluo, under the coquettish rolling eyes of An Chuyu Yan Chenyu, took Xiang Chuchunzi and the little red mouse Tangtang away. It was at this time that An Chuyu came to her senses. Xiang Chuchunzi was not her little maid, but a celebrity assistant arranged by Sony for Yunluo, including a life assistant.

Before boarding the plane, sister-in-law An Qingjue gave her brother-in-law a loving hug, Yunluo said goodbye with a smile, Xiang Chuchunzi followed Yunluo obediently and quietly, and Hongshu Tangtang hid obediently on Yunluo.

What Yun Luo didn't know was that after he went abroad, the cold and beautiful Yan Chenyu returned to Sihai City and became Miss Zhen Mi's personal secretary. Liu Xun never took the black cat Heitan away, so this lazy cat became An Chuyu's pet. An Chuyu was a little uncomfortable with the sudden coldness of the cat.

Since the internship in the second half of the senior year, An Chuyu has not written a single word of his graduation thesis. He is really lazy. (To be continued...)
