Stepping on the bluestone steps and crossing the path outside the northern wall of the retreat garden, the century-old school gate with clear water, six columns and eight characters will not change. A hundred years ago, the school gates of Jiangnan generation were mostly like this. In the evening, the sun shines on the tile wall, many-hued. Inside the half-closed wooden door, there is a pool of water stains and a cornice, which seems to be reversed to the afternoon reading time of the Republic of China.
Retreat Garden: In Tongli Ancient Town, but the retreat garden is more famous than Tongli. Many tourists come to Tongli to retreat in the garden. After breakfast, when I entered the retreat at 9 o'clock, it was already crowded with tour groups. Earlier, really should be earlier. In the Staten Island Botanical Garden in new york, USA, a Jiangnan garden with an area of 3,850 square feet was built and named "Tuisizhuang". The retreat garden is a private garden built by Ren Lansheng after he returned to his hometown. The name of the garden takes the meaning of "I am loyal to my thoughts, and I have atoned for my thoughts" in Zuo Zhuan. Small and exquisite layout, not showing wealth. Gardening with poetry, pursuing the charm and poetry of the garden, all kinds of architectural layouts strive to be exquisite and delicate, and the taste is light and simple.
The retreat garden adopts horizontal architecture and has a unique style. The garden is not built vertically as in the past, but horizontally. It consists of four groups of buildings with different styles, which are divided into halls, inner halls, atriums and gardens from west to east. Pavilions and pavilions are complete, gathering the essence of classical gardens. The entrance is the outhouse on the west side of the garden, which is divided into sedan chair hall, tea hall/flower hall and main hall. The main hall is called the aftersound hall. Waizhai is mainly used for receiving tourists, holding weddings and ancestor worship ceremonies. There are two five-story and five-story racing buildings in the inner room, named "Vientiane Building", which are connected by double corridors. There is a ladder under the corridor, which not only protects against the wind and rain, but also separates the master and servant. The inner and outer rooms can be divided and combined, and the layout is compact. It seems that the powder wall must be big and heavy to appear calm.
Wang Shaosong's former residence: Guanfu Street, an ancient town in Tongli, Suzhou City, which was built in the 50th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (17 1 1). Covering an area of 10 mu, the hall is a typical ancient house in the south of the Yangtze River, with rows of houses and twists and turns in the interior. Typical Jiangnan folk houses,
