This is the pedestrian photography world where ducks and ducks love life.
When it comes to Guangdong's tourist attractions, most people will go to big cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai, but Foshan, the nearest prefecture-level city to Guangzhou, is often overlooked. Foshan and Guangzhou have a subway connection, it can be said that the traffic is very convenient, from 5 yuan can be directly from Guangzhou to Foshan. The four major gardens of Lingnan, also known as the "four gardens of Guangdong" or the "four gardens of Central Guangdong", are the representatives of Lingnan gardens. Among the four major gardens, Foshan occupies two seats, namely Qinghui Garden in Shunde District of Foshan City and Liang Garden in Chancheng District of Foshan City. Today I will take you into the Liang Garden in Foshan.
Liang Garden is the general name of Foshan Liang's residence garden, Liang Clan in Foshan can be said to be a famous family, poetry and painting masters Liang Qiru, Liang Jiuzhang, Liang Jiuhua and Liang Jiutu uncle and nephew four people, in the Qing Jiaqing, Daoguang years (1796-1850 AD) lasted more than 40 years to build this Lingnan famous garden. It is mainly composed of the essence of multiple groups in different places such as "Twelve Stone Zhai", "Qunxing Caotang", "Fenjiang Caolu", "Hanxiangguan" and so on, with a grand scale, and the main body is located on the Songfeng Road Pioneer Ancient Road.
Foshan tourism is very conscientious is that every Saturday, the city attractions are free of charge, including the Nanfeng Ancient Stove, Ancestral Temple, Liang Garden, etc., but the ticket price of Liang Garden itself is not high, 10 yuan is still worth going in to see.
The favorite is the landscape of the Qunxing Caotang, built by Liang Jiuhua. The architectural group consists of a grass hall, a guest hall, an autumn shuangxuan, a boat hall and a cloister. The architecture is exquisite and chic and fascinating. Although it is not large, it is small and delicate.
The "half-side pavilion" has a peculiar structure, the first floor is hexagonal and half-sided, the second floor is quadrangular, the roof is gentle, and the cornices are arched, which can be called a work of "humble". The "Boat Hall" is surrounded by large Manchurian windows on three sides, and the surrounding scenery can be seen from all sides, which is really a room for the universe.
Manchurian Window, another unique symbol of Lingnan architecture, seems to be the finishing touch, with brilliant and confusing light and shadow, fixed a history of multicultural fusion, highlighting the eclecticism of Lingnan culture, and it is not too much to describe it with beauty!
The middle courtyard is separated from the outer garden by a decorative wall, which is particularly rare in Lingnan garden architecture and is a unique style of The Liang family garden architecture.
In the garden of the Stars Grass Hall, there is a small lake. There is a half-sided pavilion built next to the lake, and the structure is peculiar. The first floor of the half-sided pavilion is hexagonal and half-sided; the second floor is a square roll shed on the top of the hill, and the cornice arch is the master's work of "seeking the lack". As the old saying goes, "No one is perfect, no one is perfect", and the Liang clan used this pavilion to warn future generations to prevent the family from losing.
The stone court next to the hall of the Stars Grass Hall is the symbol of Liang Garden. The stone court is quiet and quiet, and the lake and boulders in the court are interlaced, which makes people feel that they have changed the scenery step by step.
In addition, there are also buildings such as the Thorn Shijia Temple and the Guanyin Hall in Liang Garden, and the Thorn Shi Jia Temple is now used as an exhibition hall, introducing some of the history of Liang Garden and some current exhibitions will also be held here.
The entrance to the Kannon Hall is still incense-filled today.
The whole garden is particularly quiet to visit, and you can see that the owner attaches great importance to the fun of mountains and stones, with stone gardens, mountain gardens, and water gardens as the keynote, the building is spacious and transparent, and the surrounding cloisters are introduced, and the method of changing scenery is fascinating. Not only that, Liang Yuan also treasures the fa stickers of the past generations of scholars. Xiushui, strange stones and famous stickers can be called the "three treasures" of Liang Garden.
One of the four major gardens in Lingnan, the four uncles and nephews took more than 40 years to build, and the name of the Xiushui Strange Stone is called "Three Treasures", which is open for free every Saturday.
