Hello, everyone. Welcome to Suzhou. My name is Hua Hantao, and you call meXiao Hua or tour guide Hua. There are many gardens in Suzhou, among which theHumble Administrator's garden is one of the "four famous gardens" in China, andit is also a masterpiece of Jiangnan classical gardens. Today, I will take youto visit the Humble Administrator's garden for about two hours.
Zhuozheng garden is a representative work of private gardens in China. Inthe list of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection unitsissued by the State Council on March 4, 1961, it is a treasure of China'snational cultural heritage, known as the "mother of gardens in the world".
now, we have come to the main gate of Zhuozheng garden. You can see thatthere are three big words "Zhuozheng garden" above the main gate. Zhuozhenggarden was built in the fourth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty. WangXianchen, the imperial censor, returned to his hometown because of hisfrustration in officialdom. He built the garden on the original site of Dahongtemple, with pavilions, small bridges, flowing water and towering ancient trees.The name of Humble Administrator's garden is abbreviated from the sentence of"this is also humble, it is political".
the hall house with three doors we see now is Lanxue hall. The word "LanXue" comes from Li Bai's sentence "spring breeze sprinkles Lan Xue", whichsymbolizes the noble sentiment of the host, who is as natural and unrestrainedas spring breeze and as clean as Lan Xue. There is a lacquer carving on themiddle screen door, which is a panoramic view of the Humble Administrator'sgarden.
next, we'll visit "wuzhu secluded residence". It's located in theeasternmost part of the garden, commonly known as "moon to wind Pavilion". Itsshape is very unique. Four big round openings remind us of the moon on the nightof August 15. If you stand in the pavilion and look out, the four round openingsare like four huge frames.
This is the world-famous Humble Administrator's garden in Suzhou. You arewelcome to visit Suzhou in the future. Goodbye.
