Melodious Qingqu songs sounded from a bamboo-covered yard in Yangzhou, like a clear spring in summer, refreshing. To the south of this courtyard is a deep house compound, and to the north is an exquisite garden. Its name is also very special, because the owner likes bamboo, so he named one side of bamboo-Ge Yuan.
Ge Yuan's owner is Huang Zhijun, who was the richest salt merchant in China during Jiaqing and Daoguang years of Qing Dynasty. It is said that Huang Zhijun spent 6 million taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty to build a garden on the basis of Shouzhi Garden, which was equivalent to the financial revenue of Jiangsu Province at that time. At that time, the Huangjia Mansion was divided into five roads, namely, five doors of happiness, luck, longevity, wealth and happiness, which were lined up in Dongguan Street, showing the demeanor of a luxurious salt merchant.
Walking through the bamboo sea in Ge Yuan, watching the sun project Ge Yuan's figure on the ground, pavilions, waterside pavilions and winding paths are all in this bamboo sea, extending forward, with a unique flavor.
Not only bamboo, a garden is famous all over the world, but also "rockery in four seasons". Spring scenery is near the south entrance of Guihuatang in Geyuan. Stalagmites are arranged along the flower wall, which looks like unearthed in Chun Zhu and echoes the bamboo forest, adding the breath of spring.
Summer scenery in the northwest of the garden, rockery pond on the lake, quiet valley, beautiful trees and purple shadows, water gurgling, very quiet. Autumn scenery is a rockery in Huangshi, with several hills and cliffs. There is a climbing road in the cave, which spirals up and has different steps, which is fascinating.
