The new one is called "Five Mu Garden", also called "Plum Garden". During the reign of Shao Sheng, Kun of Shu built a "Taohuawu Villa" in the south of the five-acre garden, covering an area of 700 mu. On this basis, Zhang's descendants opened ponds and built manor-style gardens, which were called "Zhangyuan" in history. "Wu Men Biao Yin" is known as "the first house in the garden, and it is outstanding for a while." Mei and Zhang are family friends, and Mei Xuanyi's sons Mei Cainan and Zhang Yunzi followed the story of meandering water flowing, opened ponds in two gardens and built a Pisces release pond, with a "double lotus pond" leading to Meiyuan at one end and a "thousand-legged pond" leading to Meiyuan at the other. At that time, there were more people in the county town than those enjoying flowers in this spring outing, which was at its peak.
The mutiny at the end of the Song Dynasty destroyed Meiyuan and Bird. After the Yuan Dynasty, Taohuawu was built again and again. During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, the famous painter Tang Yin bought the Taohuawu villa in Zhang Kun, named it "Taohuaan", and planted several acres of peach trees around it. Tang Yin also calls himself "the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple". In the early years of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, the famous doctor Shen bought this place and rebuilt the "Peach Blossom Temple" and other buildings to commemorate it. At that time, it was called "Tang Family" or "Shen Taiweng Garden". During the Qianlong period, the Buddhist Temple and Daoxin were converted into Bao Hua Temple, and during the Guangxu period, it was changed to Wenchang Pavilion.
In the 11th year of Hongzhi (1498), Tang Yin won the first place after having obtained the provincial examination, and he was put in prison because he was tired of the examination. Tang Yin hated officialdom and despised fame, so he became a degenerate and traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers. Once known as "the first romantic talent in Jiangnan". In his later years, he lived in seclusion in Taohuawu and often drank with literati. Guests who come uninvited will sleep soundly when they are drunk.
The Taohuawu outside Suzhou is also deeply impressed in my mind because Tang Yin wrote a song of Taohuawu: "Taohuawu in Taohuawu, Taohuaxian under Taohuawu. Peach Fairy cultivates peach trees, picks them and drinks them. When you wake up, you just sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep under the flowers. Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers bloom year after year. I hope I die of old age. I don't want to bow my head in front of horses and chariots. Car dust and clues show things, and wine is hidden in snuff. If the revealer is compared to a hermit, one is underground and the other is in heaven. If we compare Hua San to horses and chariots, I will have no leisure. Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it. I don't see the tomb of the five tombs, no flowers, no wine and no hoes. "
