Introduction

The Lion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou, with a history of more than 650 years. Located on Yuanlin Road, Northeast of Shicheng City, Suzhou City. In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1342), Zen Master Tianru built the Bodhi Zhengzong Temple in memory of his teacher, Zen Master Zhongfeng. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a disciple of Zen Master Weize, a famous monk named Tianru, "funded the project and bought land to build a house to house his teacher." "Because there are thousands of solid bamboos in the forest, and there are many strange rocks under the bamboos, shaped like Suan Ni (lion)"; and because Zen Master Zhongfeng once advocated the Tianmu Mountain Lion Rock, which means "lion's roar" in the Buddhist book, the name was changed. For the lion forest. In the sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1373), the 73-year-old great calligrapher and painter Ni Zan (named Yunlin) passed by Suzhou. He participated in the garden construction and wrote poems and paintings (including the "Lion Forest Picture"), which made the Lion Forest famous. Zhenzhen has become a resort for Buddhists to preach and for literati to compose poems and paintings. In the early Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the temple garden became private property and was isolated from the temple. It was named Sheyuan, also known as Wusong Garden. It was purchased by the comprador merchant Bei Runsheng in 1917. After nine years of construction and expansion, it is still known as Lion Grove (the east of the garden is the Bei family's ancestral hall, clan school and residence). Due to the rise and fall of the forest garden, temples, gardens, and houses were separated and combined, traditional gardening techniques and Buddhist ideas were integrated, and in modern times, the Bei family introduced Western gardening techniques and ancestral temples into the garden, making it a place that integrates Zen Buddhism. A temple garden that integrates the joys of philosophy and gardening.

The Lion Forest is a rectangle slightly wider from east to west, covering an area of ??1.1 hectares and an open area of ??0.88 hectares. There are mountains in the southeast and water in the northwest. It is surrounded by high walls, deep houses and winding corridors. With the central pool as the center, houses are built on top of mountains, flowers and trees are transplanted, bridges are built and pavilions are built, making the layout of the whole garden compact and rich in the artistic conception of "mountains and forests close at hand". The Lion Forest not only has the cultural landscape of Suzhou classical garden pavilions, terraces, buildings, pavilions, halls, halls, pavilions, and corridors, but is also famous for its lakes, mountains, strange rocks, and deep caves and ravines. It is known as the "Kingdom of Rockery". The lion forest has many and exquisite lake rockeries, exquisite lake rocks, winding caves and ravines, twists and turns, like being in a maze, and is known as the "Eighteen Scenes of Peach Garden". There are many strange peaks and rocks on the top of the cave, all of which look like dancing lions. There are famous peaks such as Hanhui, Tuyue, Xuanyu, and Angxia, among which Lion Peak is the first of them all. The main building in the park is Yanyu Hall, with a small square hall behind it and a Lixue Hall. To the west, you can reach Zhiboxuan, a two-story attic with verandas around it, which is high and elegant. It means that to the west of Baixuan is the ancient Five Pine Garden. The southwest corner is Jianshan Building. From Jianshan Tower to the west, you can reach the Lotus Hall. A Zhenqu Pavilion is built near the pond in the northwest of the hall.

There is a fan pavilion in the southwest corner and a small courtyard behind the pavilion, which is fresh and elegant.

Getting its name

The garden was built in the second year of Zhizheng of the Yuan Dynasty (1342 AD). It was built for his master by a disciple of Tianru Zen Master Weize. It was originally named "Lion". Lin Temple", later changed its name to "Puti Zhengzong Temple" and "Sheng'en Temple". According to historical records, a disciple of the famous monk Tianru Zen Master Wei Ze in the late Yuan Dynasty "invested money to buy land and build a house to live as his teacher." Because there are "ten thousand bamboos in the forest, and there are many strange rocks under the bamboos, shaped like Suan Ni (lion)", and because Tianru Zen Master Wei Ze obtained the Dharma from the Lion Rock in Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang, Puying Guoshizhong Peak, in order to commemorate the Buddha's mantle, The relationship between master and teacher is taken from the meaning of lion in Buddhist scriptures, hence the name "Teacher's Forest" and "Lion Forest". Wei Ze once wrote the poem "Fourteen Scenes of the Lion Grove", describing the garden scenery and life scenes at that time.

Gardening Techniques

Although the lion forest is not high on the mountain, it has spiral caves and ravines, which are embedded in the sky; although the pool is not deep, it has twists and turns, profound layers, and waterfalls. The flowing spring is hidden among the flowers and trees, the ancient and famous trees are amazing, and the halls and pavilions are exquisite and meticulous. It is worthy of being a famous garden in Wuzhong. Most of the ancient buildings in Lion Forest retain the Yuan Dynasty style and are representative works of Yuan Dynasty gardens. The garden is famous for its stacked stones, winding caves and ravines, numerous strange rocks and lingering pools. Close to the mountains and rivers there are structures such as Zhibaixuan, Zhenqu Pavilion, Wenmei Pavilion, Shifang, and Woyunshi.

It means that on the rockery in front of Baixuan there are several ancient cypresses from the Yuan Dynasty and five white-barked pine trees. Three or five plum blossoms can be seen from the windows of the Dark Fragrance Shuying Building and Wenmei Pavilion. Their sparse shadows are slanted and the dark fragrance is floating. In particular, the tables, chairs and ceiling in Wenmei Pavilion are all in the shape of plum blossoms, and the window patterns are made of ice plum blossoms. The content of calligraphy and painting is also related to plum blossoms, which together with the "curling" ancient well on the ground form a picture of homesickness. There is also Wen Tianyang's "Plum Blossom Poetry": "Quiet and empty, the group is moving, the body is elegant and pure; who can remember the spring scenery, the plum blossoms are socketed in the vase", which reflects Wen Tianyang's upright and noble sentiments through the use of plum blossoms. There is a 600-year-old ginkgo tree among the rocks. It is a thick, old tree with its roots intertwined among the rocks, providing shade from the sun in summer. The autumn leaves are as brilliant as tapestry, becoming a scene in the Lion Forest.

On May 25, 2006, the Lion Forest, as an ancient building from the Yuan Dynasty, was approved by the State Council to be included in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

Related praises

According to historical records, on February 11, 1703, Emperor Kangxi visited the South and was awarded the title "Lion Temple" by the Lion Forest. There are plaques such as "Jingzhi Yuanzhao", "Huazen Temple" and "Zhenqu". Qianlong also ordered the construction of two replica lion forests in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing and the Chengde Summer Resort. It can be seen that the emperor had a special liking for the Lion Grove.

Yu Yue, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, praised the Lion Forest as "the five complexes and five reverses are insufficient, and the nine upper and nine lower reaches are not complete". Tong Jun, a contemporary garden expert, commented that the Lion Grove rockery is "twisting and twisting, making it easy to climb and descend, with hills and ravines twisting and turning, like a palindrome."

·Lion Grove

Located on the Garden Road in Loumen in the northeast of Suzhou City, it was built in the Yuan Dynasty and is a representative of the gardens of the Yuan Dynasty. The garden is dotted with rockeries, surrounded by promenades, looming towers, and winding paths, giving it a maze-like feel. Embedded in the walls of the corridor are the calligraphy steles of Su Shi, Mi Fu, Huang Tingjian and Cai Xiang, the four famous masters of the Song Dynasty, and the inscriptions of "Plum Blossom Poems" by Wen Tianxiang of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Lion Grove was originally the back garden of Bodhi Zhengzong Temple. In 1341 AD, the eminent monk Tianru Zen Master came to Suzhou to give lectures and was supported by his disciples. The following year (the second year of the reign of Emperor Shun, the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty), his disciples bought land and houses to build a Zen forest for Zen Master Tianru. Zen Master Tianru received enlightenment from his master, Monk Zhongfeng, at Lion Rock in West Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province. To commemorate his master, he named it "Lion Forest". It is also named because there is a word "lion's roar" in the Buddhist book, and many rockeries resemble the shape of lions.

After the garden was built, many poets and painters came here to practice Zen, and their poems and paintings were included in the "Lion Grove Chronicles". After the death of Zen Master Tianru, his disciples dispersed and the temple gradually became deserted. In the seventeenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1589 AD), a monk named Ming came to Chang'an for alms and rebuilt the Sheng'en Temple and the Buddhist Hall in Lion Grove, reviving the prosperity. During the Kangxi period, the temple and the garden were separated. Later, Huang Xingzu, Huang Xi's father and the prefect of Hengzhou, bought it and named it "Sheyuan". On February 11, 1703 AD, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty visited here and was awarded the title "Shilin Temple". Later, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the Lion Grove six times and was awarded "Jingzhi Yuanzhao", "Huazen Temple" and the existing "Zhenqu" plaques. . In the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1771), Huang Xi won the first prize in high school, refined the mansion, reorganized the courtyard, and named it "Five Pine Garden". By the middle of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, the Huang family had declined, and the garden had collapsed, but only the rockery remained.

The Lion Forest is rectangular in plan and covers an area of ??about 10,000 square meters. It is one of the representatives of Suzhou classical gardens. It has the largest remaining group of ancient rockeries in China and is known as the Kingdom of Rockeries. The rockery winds up and down inside and outside, and you pass through holes and valleys into a maze. You can only see it within sight but cannot reach it. You can only get out of the cave by following the mountain road. Looking up at the mountains, looking down at the slopes and ravines on all sides, you feel like you are deep in the mountains, and you are in a trance. Since it was originally the garden behind the temple, the Lion Grove rockery is a symbol of Buddha and cannot be compared with ordinary rockeries. The maze-like caves in the heart of the mountain are ethereal and winding, symbolizing the boundless power of the Buddha.

There are many and exquisite rockeries in the Lion Forest, and the buildings are scattered in an orderly manner. The highest peak in the park is "Lion Peak", and there are also famous peaks such as "Hanhui" and "Tuyue". There are many bamboos in the garden, and the abbot's Zen nest is built with thatch among the bamboos. There are also "Cing Ke Jin", "Jade Mirror Pond" and "Xiao Feihong (Bridge)". The main buildings include Lixue Hall, Yanyu Hall, Woyun Room, Jianshan Tower, Zhiboxuan, Feipu Pavilion, Zhenqu Pavilion, Wenmei Pavilion, etc.

The Lion Forest has a clear theme, rich depth of field, and distinct personality. The rockery caves are ingenious, superb, and unique. Every plant and tree has its own charm. The corridors in the garden run through all sides, and there are books embedded on the corridor walls. The stone carvings are all masterpieces of calligraphy by famous artists.

In 1917 AD, Shanghai paint giant Bei Runsheng (uncle of the world-famous architect I.M. Pei) purchased the Lion Forest from the Civil Affairs Minister Li Zhongyu for 800,000 silver dollars and spent nearly 7 years on it. During the renovation, some new attractions were added and given the old name of "Lion Forest". The Lion Forest temporarily topped Sioux City. Bei Runsheng originally planned to open the country, but failed to do so due to the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. After Bei Runsheng died in 1945, the Lion Forest was managed by his grandson Bei Huanzhang. After liberation, the descendants of Bei donated the garden to the country. The Suzhou Garden Management Office took over the renovation and opened it to the public in 1954.

[Edit this paragraph] Fans Organization Lion Grove

The "Lion Grove" founded in 1968 is not only AC Milan, but also the first extreme fan organization in the history of Italian football. The disintegration of the organization in November 2005 led to a complicated situation on the second floor of the Saint-Siro South Stand. Some old fans left here, and the addition of new radicals intensified the conflict. The internal strife among AC Milan fan organizations is not conducive to their unified support for the team. In particular, the dissolution of the "Lion's Den" caused Milan to lose four to five thousand of its most loyal and well-organized fans. They cannot become extreme fans and cannot return to the South Stand. , so most people are reluctant to return to San Siro to watch football. The reshuffled South Stand lacks the previous harmony. Compared with the creativity of Inter Milan fans in the Milan derby, AC Milan fans only have a unified red and black color and a slogan ("Only one flag - red and black", which seems to prove that the South Stand is still unified), defeated by the Nerazzurri fans in terms of momentum.
