The "Huashi Gang" incident occurred in the last year of the Northern Song Dynasty, when Emperor Huizong ordered Zhu Xun to set up the Ying Feng Bureau in Suzhou in order to build the Yanfu Palace and the Banzai Mountain, which was to do one thing, that is, to loot folk strange stones. After these different stones were collected, every ten ships were a gang and began to transport the capital, which is the origin of the "Huashi Class".
And "Green Lotus Flower" is a very representative stone in the "Flower Stone Class", this stone penetrates, leaks, wrinkles like water hibiscus, because of this, Song Gaozong named it "Hibiscus Stone". In the "Chunyou Lin'an Zhi jiyi", there is also a description of the hibiscus stone: "Huge stones such as hibiscus, natural bandit carvings..." After the fall of the Song Dynasty, this "hibiscus stone" has been subjected to wars because of the change of dynasties, so that many strange stones that are very similar to hibiscus petals have been broken and escaped disasters, and the remaining remnants of the stone do not look like hibiscus. After experiencing the two generations of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the hibiscus stone has changed from a treasure on the top to an "ordinary" stone that "father does not care, mother does not ask".
According to relevant records, Qianlong went down to Jiangnan six times. In the sixteenth year of Qianlong, Qianlong once again brought his ministers to Hangzhou in a mighty way, and toured the mountains and rivers under the banner of inspecting the people's feelings. When Qianlong went to the ruins of Deoksugung Palace, he happened to see the "Hibiscus Stone" standing in the weeds. The more Qianlong looked at it, the more he liked it, and even wiped it with his cuffs, and the ministers saw such a scene and immediately proposed: Transport the hibiscus stone back to the capital. When Qianlong heard this, he was very happy and rewarded the proposed minister heavily.
After Qianlong transported the hibiscus stone back to Beijing, he asked the craftsmen to repair it and place it in the Qian Garden. On this day, Qianlong came to Qianyuan and wanted to take a closer look at this strange stone. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this stone had a taste, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this stone had charm. After the viewing, Qianlong lifted his pen, wrote down the three words "Green Lotus Flower" on rice paper, and specially gave a poem: "The stone crossing the river is alone, and the Jiang Meichun is always there." Soon, the craftsmen of the construction office were ordered by Qianlong to carve "Green Lotus Flower" and Qianlong's poems on the stone.
In October 1860, after the Yuanmingyuan was burned by fire for three days and three nights, this world-famous garden, many famous monuments were almost destroyed, and was placed in the "Qinglian Flower" of the Qian Garden, which was constantly cracked under the barbecue of the raging fire, and was also "seriously injured", which was no longer the shape of the "Qinglian" seen by Qianlong, but fortunately, after liberation, cultural relics experts found that the "Qinglian Flower" had important historical value, protected it, restored it, and placed it in the Garden Museum.
When tourists visit the Garden Museum, they will go to the hall to see this "green lotus", although everyone can not see its original appearance, but from its outline, visitors can vaguely imagine its style. If you are interested in it, you can take advantage of the holiday to take a look at it, and feel its unique charm and the history and culture behind it.
