Chapter 486 Changchun Garden

Changchun Garden is also a famous garden.

The original site of Changchun Garden is the "Tsinghua Garden" built by Ming Shenzong's grandfather Li Wei. There are landscape buildings such as Front Lake, Back Lake, Yihai Hall, Qingya Pavilion, Tingshuiyin, and Huaju Pavilion, covering an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. Mu, known as the first garden of the capital, was later destroyed by war.

In the Qing Dynasty, using the remaining rocks of Tsinghua Garden, it was rebuilt according to the style of the south of the Yangtze River into a detached palace in the suburbs to escape the summer heat and listen to politics.

When it was rebuilt, the overall design of the garden landscape was in charge of Ye Tao, a court painter. Zhang Ran, a famous gardener in the south of the Yangtze River, was also invited to build it himself. The West Dike was also built on the west side of the garden, which is now the East Dike of the Summer Palace.

At its peak, Changchun Garden became the "Five Gardens of the Capital" together with Jingyi Garden in Xiangshan, Jingming Garden in Yuquan Mountain, Qingyi Garden in Longevity Mountain and Yuanmingyuan. Changchun Garden was built by Emperor Kangxi, so It is also known as "the first of the five gardens". Because it is located in the south of Yuanmingyuan, it is relatively closer to the Forbidden City, so it is also called "Qianyuan".The style of this front garden is different from the gardens in the north, and it is also different from the general royal gardens. The landscape and architectural style here are relatively simple. Brilliant; the plains of the soil and mounds are nothing like strange peaks and rocks; the elegant and elegant pavilions are nothing like painting and carving."

Obviously, Changchun Garden is in a natural and elegant style.

In addition, the status of Changchun Garden is also reflected in the importance attached to him by the emperors of all dynasties. Apart from other things, only Emperor Kangxi visited Changchun Garden for the first time on February 26, the 22th year of Kangxi, to November 61, the 36st year of Kangxi. On the 36th of the month, he died of illness in the palace in the garden, a total of [-] years, and during these [-] years, Kangxi went to Changchun Garden to live and deal with government affairs every year.

According to literature statistics, in the past 36 years, Kangxi lived in Changchun Garden 257 times for a total of more than 3800 days, with an average of 7 times and 107 days per year. Among them, the shortest single time was 29 days, and the longest single time was 202 days. .

That is to say, every time Kangxi went to live in Changchun Garden, he would live there for one month at the shortest, and seven months at the longest, which is more than half a year.

This shows Kangxi's love for Changchun Garden.

Except for the Kangxi accident, other emperors lived in Changchun Garden for a long time. Before Emperor Yongzheng took the throne, he had the ownership of the "Lou Kai Yunyue" scenic spot in Changchun Garden. Of course, it was also rewarded to Yongzheng by Kangxi.

According to records, there are five gates in Changchun Garden, namely: Dagong Gate, Dadong Gate, Xiaodong Gate, Daxi Gate and Northwest Gate.

The main gate is on the east side of the south wall. Inside the gate is the administration and residential area of ​​Changchun Garden. Along the central axis, the middle road is followed by Dagongmen, Jiujing Sanshidian, Ergongmen, Chunhuitang, Shouxuanchunyongdian, and Houxuan. Houdian, Yunya Pavilion, Ruijingxuan, Yanshuanglou, Yuanfei Yuyue Pavilion, and in the north of the pavilion, there are Dingxiang Causeway, Zhilan Causeway, Peach Blossom Causeway, Front Lake and Back Lake.The east road is Danningju, Longwang Temple, Jianshan, Yuanjianzhai, Zangzhuozhai, Lanzaozhai, Taipuxuan, Qingxi Bookstore, Xiaodongmen, Enmu Temple and Enyou Temple.

On the west road are Wanfangzhai, Maimai Street, Wuyizhai, Vegetable Garden, Guandi Temple, Niangniang Temple, Ningchun Hall, Ruizhu Courtyard, Guanlan Pavilion, Jifengxuan and other scenic spots.

Outside the Daximen is the West Garden, which has four lakes, and beside the lakes, there are buildings such as the Taoyuan Bookstore, Guande Office, and Chengluxuan, where the princes lived when they were young.

Looking at the functions of these various buildings, it is simply a small town, with facilities such as Guandi Temple, antique shop, shopping street, and Niangniang Temple.Of course, it was set up to please the emperor. For example, the shops on the shopping street are all owned by the royal family. The operators are maids, eunuchs, etc. in the palace. Sometimes, for the sake of realism, some merchants will be arrested from outside the palace. The peddler came in, anyway, to make the emperors happy.

Moreover, for such a large courtyard, it is natural to have a housekeeper, so Changchun Garden also has positions such as a minister in charge, a doctor, and a general leader. One aspect shows how favored Cao Xueqin's family background is.

Of course, Changchun Garden also recalled the war later, and only kept a small part of the scenery. Although it was repaired later, it was a little worse than the Changchun Garden in history.Moreover, there are other buildings in the current Changchunyuan site, such as Capital University Resource Middle School, Capital University faculty dormitory residential area, and Capital University Changchunyuan new dormitory area, etc.

Generally speaking, the scenery of Changchun Garden is quite good, at least the greening is very good, and the natural scenery is also quite good. It is also a kind of enjoyment to live in Changchun Garden.

Of course, living in Changchun Garden is not the same as making a home in Changchun Garden.

If you live in the staff dormitory of Changchun Garden, it’s fine, but if you can get a small house or a house, it’s great, not because you have made a major contribution to the school, or are the school’s administrators , Don’t even think about it, and you can’t buy it with money, because the property rights of those houses or villas belong to the school itself.

Xu Yan said that he lives in Changchun Garden. Although he didn't say the specific address, it is not difficult to guess from Xu Yan's tone that she should have her own house there. Even if it is not a small villa, it is still serious. Suite, that is to say, Xu Yan is not an ordinary teacher at Capital University.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Xu Jingxing, he just agreed to Xu Yan's invitation, and then said that he would take a walk around the school in the afternoon to experience the atmosphere of Capital University, which can be regarded as fulfilling his childhood dream.

When Xu Yan left, he let out a long breath and shrugged towards An Xin.

An Xin couldn't hold her breath anymore, she kept her head down all day while eating, and after eating, she obediently sat aside and acted like a wooden figure. Of course, her little ears were not idle, she kept listening to Xu Jingxing chatting with Xu Yan.At this moment, I couldn't hold back any longer, "Master, so your background is so big?"

Xu Jingxing smiled wryly, "What's the big deal? If my background is really that big, I could be in such a miserable situation? Didn't you never see me when I was the most miserable?"

An Xin thought about it, yes, her master was so exhausted from work that she fainted at the most miserable time, and she worked hard day and night for a few hundred dollars. How sad, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a big shot with background.

But thinking of what the gentle-tempered female professor said just now, I couldn't help but ask, "But, didn't that Professor Wei just say..."
