Guide to the Humble Administrator's Garden

The "Wuzhu Residence" has a very unique shape. The four large round doors immediately remind people of the moon on the night of August 15th. If you stand in the pavilion and look out, these four round doors are like four huge picture frames, inlaid with the scenery of Suzhou gardens throughout the year. The peach blossoms are red and willows are green in the south, the tender lotus sticks out in the west, the parasol trees are in autumn rain in the north, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom in the east. There is a couplet in the pavilion that reads "Wuzhu lives in seclusion". Wutong is a holy and high tree; green bamboo is a strong, soft and loyal thing. As the saying goes: "If there are plane trees at home, why worry about the phoenix not coming." There is a couplet on both sides: "It is refreshing to borrow the breeze and the bright moon, to watch the flowing water and the mountains quietly." Savor slowly and chew carefully, and two landscape paintings seem to appear in front of you. : One is the bright moon in the sky, the night is hazy, and the breeze is blowing, refreshing; the other is the sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the heart is beating and the water is moving, and the heart is calm and the mountains are quiet. If you think carefully about the mood of the owner of the garden at this moment, it may be similar to what Zhang Daqian said: "The mind seems to be idle and has nothing to do, and it takes a long time to look carefully at the bay leaves." If some guests have read Confucius' "The Analects" and read this couplet, they may have another feeling. Confucius said: "The wise enjoy the water, the benevolent enjoy the mountains. The wise move, the benevolent are still. The wise are happy, the benevolent live long." So, can we say that the first couplet of this couplet uses the breeze and the bright moon to describe the infinite beauty of the natural scenery, and the second couplet It uses Leshan and Leshui to reveal the role of tourism in cultivating sentiment. That's all right. I've been looking for you for a long time. If you know all this, there's nothing I can do about it.
