Who can introduce Xu Garden of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou?

Xu Yuan is located in the Slender West Lake Park in Yangzhou City, built in the former site of Taohuawu, and the "Long Beach Spring Willow" at the northern end of Slender West Lake is the first building after entering Slender West Lake. Because it was built in memory of warlord Xu Baoshan, it was named Xu Yuan. There is a lotus pond built with Yellowstone in the park, and the water in the pond is connected with the lake outside the park. There is also a building that walks by the pond called Li Tingting, which means "two orioles singing green willows and a row of egrets flying into the sky". There are also spring grass ponds, pavilions and pavilions and peak pavilions in the park. There are two huge iron pots on display in front of the listening hall. According to legend, it was Liang Xiao's water-saving object in the Southern Dynasties, and the inscription of "Iron Wrench" has a history of 1400 years. Xuyuan is very small, covering only 0.6 hectares. The whole courtyard is connected into a piece, patchwork and neat and diverse.

Visitors to Slender West Lake Park often mention the word "Xu Yuan" in Kan Kan when they approach the gate of Xu Yuan. She will tell visitors that the word "Yuan" is in the middle of the traditional Chinese character "Yuan", and he writes it in cursive like a tiger, with the intention of killing Tiger Xu in this park. Is that really the case?

Xu Yuan commemorates Xu Baoshan, commander of the Second Army in the early years of the Republic of China. Xu Baoshan's nickname is Xu Tiger. Xu Baoshan was born in a poor family. He was "famous for his hard work" and later went to Sun Qi, a famous salt owl in Yangzhou. After Sun's early death in 1920, Sun's wife, the white widow, was in charge of the gang. Because Xu Baoshan was brave and cautious, she had a long relationship with the white widow and finally became the de facto gang leader. When the government banned the smuggling of salt and tracked down salt lords, Xu Baoshan was listed as the most wanted man, and he faced the situation of born to die. But don't let the white widow and her men quietly buy off the relevant figures of the government and gangs and die for Xu Baoshan. After the death of the white widow, Xu Laohu accepted the appeal and was stationed in Yangzhou because of his participation in the recovery of 1911.

There are two theories about Xu Baoshan's death. One is that Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and he made it clear that he did not support it. Yuan Shikai sent someone to get rid of him in the name of sending antiques. On the other hand, 19 12 In March, after the North-South peace talks were reached, Sun Yat-sen gave way and Yuan Shikai stole the state power. Xu Baoshan of have it both ways took refuge in Yuan Shikai and actively opposed the Kuomintang. 1965438+On May 23rd, 2003, the revolutionary Pai Cheng people killed Xu Baoshan by giving him an ancient porcelain bottle as bait.

The word "Xu Yuan" was written by the famous calligrapher Ji Lianggong in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Ji Lianggong is another poet and prodigal son after Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics. Known as Mr. Feng, he was a calligrapher in Yangzhou at that time. Many people feel very honored to get a photo of Ji Lianggong. Although Xu Baoshan is a clown, he likes Ji Lianggong's handwriting very much, so when building this temple, he wanted Ji Lianggong to write "Xu Yuan". Of course, he also knew that Ji Lianggong wouldn't write for him, so he invited Ji Lianggong to have a drink at home. While in a daze in Ji Lianggong, Tiger Xu suggested that Ji Lianggong write a pair of couplets: "The breeze in Xu Lai is universally loved". It means "Xu" and "Garden". Because Ji Lianggong was drunk, he thought it was just a general couplet, so he wrote it. Who knows, when I finished writing the first couplet, there was a sudden cool breeze. When Ji was a little more sober, he took off his cloth and wrote the second couplet.

Nowadays, the characters "Xu" and "Yuan" have different font styles. The former is a running script, neat and vigorous, while the latter is a cursive script, scrawled and elegant. Looking closely at the word "yuan", we can see that the shape of "yuan" is very similar to that of "tiger". The hidden abuse of right means that even if you are majestic, you are still a tiger in the "garden" and eventually a trapped beast in this Xu garden. This statement is quite popular. It seems that the tour guides of Slender West Lake explain it this way now, so it is an authoritative statement that Tiger Xu is trapped in the circle. However, if you know the relationship between Ji Lianggong and Xu Baoshan, I'm afraid this statement will be greatly discounted.

After the Revolution of 1911, Xu Baoshan came to power in Yangzhou. Although Xu is a martial arts master, he knows how to recruit celebrities and organize think tanks for his own use. On the day when Xu invited Ji to enter the curtain, he specially arranged several tables of banquets and invited many celebrities to accompany him. I looked down on Xu at that time. During the dinner, Xu said something admirable and asked Ji to write couplets. Ji wrote: "Old paper is pink; Mr. Oil Green Phlegm "

Everyone in Yangzhou knows that oily green phlegm is a swear word. Xu Baoshan, who has lived in Yangzhou for a long time, of course knew that Lianzhong was scolding him, but she still smiled and even said, "Well written! Well written! Interesting! Interesting! " Immediately ordered people to hang themselves in class. Moved by Xu's atmosphere, he finally used this to become Xu's brain trust.

He has two couplets presented to Xu Baoshan: "The scribes have never been addicted to alcohol; Heroes don't read books since ancient times, "and" all have courage; Everything is always decided by heaven. " The first one was translated from a poem by Zhang Jie, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The original poem is "selling bamboo silk for nothing, closing the river and locking the ancestral home." Liu Xiang didn't study until the ashes were cold and Shandong was chaotic. Here, Ji Lianggong compares Xu Baoshan to Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and other heroes who can achieve great things without reading, but many people interpret Xu Baoshan as a joke, which is quite contrary to the author's original intention. The latter is directly boasting about Xu Baoshan. In fact, after Ji Lianggong entered Xu Fu, he really wanted to do something with Xu Baoshan. Who would have thought that Xu Baoshan was assassinated in the third year, and Ji Lianggong was very sad. 19 15 when Xu Yuan built the city on the ruins of the original Taohuawu, he wrote such a couplet: "What do you think, how to make wine? "As can be seen from the artistic conception, the relationship between Ji Lianggong and Xu Baoshan is quite good.

The title of the word "Xu Yuan" was also written by 19 15. The tiger in the cage is more likely to be frustrated that he has no way to serve the country and has no chance to display his ambitions. This is a masterpiece in Ji Lianggong's works, and it is also a masterpiece in his life. Ji Lianggong also died on 19 15. I wonder if these two very different people can talk happily underground.
