Welcome to pay attention to "Fangzhi Sichuan"!
The Su family's garden
Chen Zhongwen
A piece of land, surrounded by bamboo or rattan, built several houses, planted with vegetables, flowers, fruits and trees, and became a garden. To create a good garden, it is not only a continuous labor, but also a warm heart and sunshine of the gardeners and rich knowledge. People and gardens live in harmony with each other, and after a long time, people and gardens will become one, people are in the garden, and people are decadent in the garden. Owning a garden should be the dream of most people. By building a garden, we are actually looking for a way back to our homes.

Sansu Ancestral Hall, originally sansu's home, was later turned into a worship hall and a memorial garden. With the vicissitudes of time, the land is still this land, but the su family's study kitchen and living room have long been nowhere to be found, and they can't smell the straw smell that came out of the cooking smoke when the Su family made a fire to cook. From the home to the temple to the garden, over the past thousand years, something has flowed, something has been precipitated, and something has finally been presented.
The Su family's garden is humane and humane. As soon as they entered the garden, two tall ginkgo trees stood resolutely and covered the sky, at which time the explainer would say: "These two trees are male trees, only flowering and not bearing fruit, which is the symbol of the two brothers of Su Shi and Su Rui... Everyone turned around again, and there was a thousand-year-old banyan tree behind it, which was father Su Xun... "Three trees, three fathers and sons, left and right, hand in hand, looking forward to and after, their situation is moving!" Plants are an important element of gardening, but also the sustenance of the owner's character and feelings. In Sansu Ancestral Hall, a lychee can be hung on the east slope of the nostalgia of "as if Jiangnan has not returned", a begonia can be soaked with the sadness of "mud and sewage Swallow Branch Snow", an orange tree can be written with the original heart of "I am good at planting", a bamboo can be filled with the true qi of "infinite freshness", and a lotus flower can bloom the artistic conception of "lake light and everything"... A garden is a person's living world.

The house of Sansu Temple is noble and free. Entering from the south gate, along the central axis of the front hall, the hall, the Qixian Hall, the Lai Fengxuan from the south to the north of the vertical column extension, the east and west sides with boxes, the main building complex is divided into different shapes, different degrees, different sizes of the enclosed space, or virtual or real, or static or moving, or solemn or quiet, or deep or open, our emotions in this changing space of sorrow and joy, tension and relaxation. Baoyue Pavilion, Oasis Pavilion, Ruilian Pavilion, and Baipo Pavilion are scattered around, and although the Cloak Pavilion and Yunyu Pavilion are two stories high, they retreat behind and do not compete with the ancestral hall. The hall is the core of the ancestral hall, with three wide rooms, one deep, 9 meters high, and the two sides of the Ming room are raised beam frames, the gables are pierced beam frames, and the hard mountain bois roof. Although the green tiles and white walls are simple in shape, people stand in front of them, and the lofty reverence arises spontaneously, so when the bells and drums ring again, you may burst into tears. When Zhao Huiya of Meizhou Zhizhou built this temple in 1665, he must have purified his heart with his hands, burned incense and prostrated his head, and melted his admiration for Sansu into brick by brick.
Neat and uneven, balanced and uneven, dignified and light, symmetrical and staggered, gathered and scattered, enclosed and open... This is the su family's garden, just like the owner of the garden. Professor Zhao Changgeng, the founder of the garden discipline in bashu region, once used "happy to see the guts, dissect the abdomen to show people" to describe the Three Su Ancestral Temple, how to interpret these eight words, in your heart in my heart.
