Guhua Park
No. 220 Jiefang South Road, Nanqiao Town, Fengxian District, Shanghai, a wall recorded a brief history of Fengxian, qing yongzheng second year (1724), then the general inspector of liangjiang, Bow Na, with Susong County difficult to govern, asked for a county, the southeast of Huating County, Baisha Township and Yunjian Township in Fengxian County, approved the following year, Yongzheng four years of formal division. The ancient inscriptions all have a meaning, not a generality. The new county was named "Fengxian", and according to zhizai: "According to legend, the son of the word tasted to the land, and the sage of the son of the word was also". In 1984, the new park was named "Guhua", which means to send the Xian Guli Hua Pavilion. Song Richang, former vice mayor of Shanghai and chairman of the Municipal Calligraphy Association, handwritten "Guhuayuan" in three large golden characters.
The huge bluestone relief on the back of the wall shows the allusion of the word to fengxian to spread the way of the sages. A native of Qinchuan (present-day Changshu, Jiangsu) in the Spring and Autumn Period, he left home at the age of 22 to embark on the road to worship Confucius, and returned to the south at the age of 61 to bring the developed culture of the Central Plains back to Jiangnan. In the winter of the twenty-fifth year of King Zhending of Zhou (444 BC), the 63-year-old Yanzi, despite his old age, set out from his hometown of Qinchuan, crossed the Dongjiang River (present-day Huangpu River) and came to Qingxi, in Haiyan Ancient County, which is now the Fengxian area, to open a school, recruit disciples, and become a sage of Fengxian.
Guhua Park was founded in 1984 and covers an area of 72 acres. In 1996, it expanded to the east and increased its area to more than 100,000 square meters. In 2003, a large-scale renovation of the Eastern District was carried out, and the appearance of the garden was more perfect. The name of the garden "Guhua" means Fengxian Guli Huating, which has a large number of antique buildings, which are five-star parks in Shanghai and civilized units in Shanghai. "Nantang First Bridge" is a cultural relics left over from the Qing Dynasty, in the process of gardening, through various techniques to record the ancient stories and legends of the Fengxian area, so that the fading culture, remain in the depths of this antique garden.
The legend of Sannuoka
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Yue competed for hegemony. In 492 BC, King Fuchai of Wu, in revenge for the previous king, attacked the country's troops, and the Yue king was forced to take Wu as a prisoner and suffered humiliation. However, Gou Jian was a man with great ambitions, and he worked hard to be strong, and finally began to attack Wu in 478 BC, defeating Wu WangFucha. King Wu fled to the land of North Erlixu in Nanqiao Town, and in order to avoid the three princesses he had brought out in a hurry from being captured and humiliated, he buried them alive here. Later generations lamented the tragic fate of the three princesses, and built the "Three Daughters Shrine" here to commemorate it. Therefore, the Qianlong "Fengxian County Chronicle" of the Qing Dynasty contains the saying that "King Wu buried three daughters here".
Xingyuan
The historical "Xingyuan" in Fengxian was built in the territory of Ludianqiao and present-day Wuqiao communities, and was built by Gu Fu, a gongsheng during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, covering an area of more than 20 acres.

In the park, there are more than 20 scenic spots such as BaoxuanXuan, Yangzheng Bookstore, Duhe Pavilion, Bamboo Forest Qingyi, Three Fold Stone Bridge, etc., and Wang Yongqi, a Huating man, sighed after viewing: "The victory of the water stone pavilion in the garden is not known... Home and have the right to see the landscape and swim, enjoy it. The "Xingyuan" in the current park is built according to this imitation, but it covers an area of only 3 acres, so it can only be a reproduction of some of its attractions, but it is enough to see the depth of the achievements of the ancestors.
Autumn Water Garden
The "Qiushui Garden" in the history of Fengxian was built by the two brothers Zhang Xiuyi and Binyi in the Qing Dynasty in the territory of present-day Zhuangxing Town District, and the name of the garden was taken from the word "Autumn Water" in Nanhua. There are many attractions in the park, all of which are complete. After the then prefect Gong Rong was invited to visit, he wrote a praise: "Looking at the scenery of its buqi, every water, stone, grass and tree, all of which are fascinating." The "Autumn Water Garden" in the current park is built according to this, and there are four major attractions of the Companion Moon Pavilion, the Transcendent Hall, the Listening Pavilion and the Han Bi xuan, which are connected by the cloister. The inner courtyard is equipped with ponds, standing peaks, and autumn color trees planted around the perimeter. The plaque of "Chaoran Hall" is the ink treasure of Mr. Chen Congzhou, a famous ancient garden expert, which is even more interesting.
Evening Sunny Garden
In 2004, the east area of the park was newly built, covering an area of about 7 acres, located at the north end of the east lake of the park, which is a closed courtyard. The main construction of "Yue Geng Lou", "Ammonite Building" and "Drinking Pavilion" in the park originated from Fengxian's "Yiqiu Garden", "Wild Garden", "Hou Garden" and other famous gardens, gathering the essence of Fengxian's gardens of past dynasties. In the park, there are reading and cultivating buildings, ammonite buildings, listening to spring pavilions, drinking incense pavilions, moon viewing pavilions, and there are fish ponds, rockeries, waterfalls, flower ponds, lake stone peaks, etc., with strange trees and famous trees, elegant environment and pleasant scenery.

According to legend, Zou mou was a poor sugar exchanger, who had to travel to and from Jinhui Port every day in order to make a living, knew the difficulty of travel, and vowed that if there was a trace of the day, he would build a bridge here to facilitate the township. Sure enough, he inadvertently made a fortune in the future, and he did not eat the preface and did what he said. On the day of completion, the sugar changers were gathered to the top of the bridge and personally named the new bridge "Jifang Bridge". The righteous deeds of the sugar changer were later widely circulated, so people used to nickname this bridge "Sugar Bridge" to remember the exploits of the sugar changer.
Shuangting Bridge

Things go back to the Ming Dynasty, almost at the same time, the north line out of a Wen Zhuangyuan, the south line out of a Wu Zhuangyuan. When going out to visit relatives and friends, the two often meet on this bridge, because they show off their pomp and circumstance with each other, and they are jealous. Wen Zhuangyuan wanted Wu Zhuangyuan to introduce a wufu and no ink in his chest; Wu Zhuangyuan laughed at Wen Zhuangyuan and would only shake the pen and play with his mouth, and the two sides would do whatever it took to fight on this bridge. The more noisy the matter spread to the capital, the emperor was angry and admonished. At this time, the two sides repented that it was really not right, and from then on they worked together to serve the country. Later, the local people called this bridge "Concentric Bridge".

The bridge was originally named Leshan and is located on the South Bridge Pond on the East Street of Nanqiao Town. Originally a wooden bridge, it was built by Jiang Zaiyuan in the first year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1736). In the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), Dai Hong, Ru Zhaolin and others initiated the construction of Yishi, and changed it to its current name. In the first year of Tongzhi (1862), it was destroyed by the Taiping Army. In the sixth year of Tongzhi, it was rebuilt with donations from the Chen Taitong brothers and Wu Wenbao. The Nanqiao Pond, which was once the first dry river in Fengxian' east and west, was eventually silted up and abandoned, and although the bridge existed, it had lost its function.
