daming temple

daming temple, located in the lush peak of Shugang in Wansong, is an ancient temple built in Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. The temple is spacious with lush flowers and trees. In the Tang Dynasty, Master Jian Zhen once presided over this temple, preaching classics and laws. In ancient times, there were nine-story pagodas in the temple. Great poets such as Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi, etc. all came to write poems and spread them as stories. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty was founded in the next year (457 ~ 464), and the name of the temple was named after the year. When Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty (reigned from 1736 to 1795) visited this temple, he wrote the name of "Fajing Temple" in his own handwriting, so he changed his name to "Fajing Temple" and now it has been restored to "daming temple".

Geyuan

Yangzhou Geyuan is located in the northern section of Dongguan Street in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It is a famous garden landscape in China and one of the four famous gardens in China. Geyuan was built in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty and was the residence of Huang Yingtai, a big salt merchant. There are many kinds of bamboos in the garden, and the owner of the garden loves bamboo very much. He thinks that bamboo is solid, guilty, straight and chaste, and has the style of a gentleman. The shape of bamboo leaves is similar to the word "Ge", so it is named "Geyuan". The name of Geyuan is reminiscent of Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty, "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo;" No meat makes people thin, no bamboo makes people vulgar ".

The biggest feature of Geyuan is the concept and architecture of "rockery in four seasons". It is unique in China's garden art to make the layout strange and use the stones strange. In the garden with an area of less than 5 mu, four fake mountain areas with realistic shapes have been opened, which are called spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively. The whole garden is centered on Yiyuxuan, and visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons along the natural direction. "Spring mountain should be visited, summer mountain should be seen, autumn mountain should be climbed, and winter mountain should be livable." From the point of view of using extremely strange stones, Geyuan uses stones of different materials to reflect different seasons. The stone of the zodiac symbolizes the vibrant spring, and the exquisitely carved Taihu Stone symbolizes the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River in midsummer. Yellowstone is quoted to set off the tall and straight figure of the mountains in autumn, and the white snow stone is used to highlight the cold feeling of the snow in winter.

Yangzhou Heyuan, also known as Jixiao Mountain Villa, is located in the garden lane of Xuningmen Street in Yangzhou. It was an additional house built by the Daotai-He family in Hanhuang Banner, Hubei Province during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, hence the name Heyuan.
