"Visiting Shen Garden in the Rain"——Yu Qijun

?

? Although there is no scene of bright peach blossoms blooming on the branches in spring, there are also no clusters of brilliant azaleas laying on both sides of the stone path. The scenery, the rows of willows with "ten thousand green silk ribbons hanging down" beside the ancient palace wall, and the graceful lotus flowers releasing charming colors in the pond during summer, there is no such thing as "endless leaves connecting the sky" The beautiful picture of "blue sky, lotus flowers reflected in the sun is unusually red", does not even have the scenery of late winter in March where the north wind blows and snowflakes fly, occasionally falling on the branches and turning into mist. Although the winter solstice has passed and the cold is approaching, Shen Garden is still covered with a mysterious historical and cultural color and the connotation of love tragedy. In my opinion, visiting Shen Garden in the rain is more interesting and does not reduce the enjoyment of viewing at all.

? Walking in Shen Garden, especially in gray and rainy hours, can produce an indescribable feeling. Entering the east gate of Shen Garden, crossing a finely carved stone bridge, you can You will easily find the ink marks left by Mr. Lu You and admire them with admiration. Opposite the ink mark is the "Anfeng Hall", where the cultural monuments and historical relics left by Mr. Lu are displayed. Entering the main hall, turn to the left and you will see the bronze statue of Lu You holding a scroll. From his gloomy eyes, I deeply realized that Mr. Lu has experienced the downfall of the world, but his concern for the future and destiny of the country, and the suffering and sorrow of the people has always been engraved in his heart. This made me stand for a long time. With great admiration and admiration, I bowed deeply three times to this great patriotic poet in front of me.

? Walking further inside, the three characters "老学奄" will clearly come into view, and suddenly I find a worn-out robe. It is not difficult to imagine that Lu You continued to study literature and write poetry when he was old, and wore a robe. With his outstanding talents and profound knowledge, he left a thousand-year legacy for future generations. In a subtle way, I truly realized the true meaning of "live until you are old and learn until you are old", and I was deeply touched by it. Here, I deeply understood Mr. Lu's "Three Loves" thought of "love of hometown, steadfast love, and patriotism", and also understood the love tragedy between Lu You and Tang Wan, the beautiful couple who were torn apart alive by Lu's mother.

? After walking out of "Anfeng Hall", you will easily find two incomparable sculptures on both sides. "Gu Village Night Rain" was carefully carved by the sculptor. Presented in front of people in a lifelike manner, people can truly feel Lu You's noble life and spiritual realm. Directly opposite is the sculpture "Iron Horse Glacier", which shows a landscape of "the country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is springy with deep vegetation". The clever decoration illustrates an unchanging fact, that is, Lu You is in his hometown and his heart is in the court. of noble sentiments.

? The rain is still pouring down, but this has not shaken my idea of ??moving forward at all. Walking forward, you will find Mr. Lu’s portrait in the middle of the "Wuguan Hall", with bolts on both sides. Engraved on it are the couplets "Thousands of officials in the south of Jiannan, but the rice masters of the country, and the past dynasties have looked at each other in a thatched cottage at the head of the Zhuojin River." The strong contrast and overall beauty made me seem to forget time. Walk out of the gate, pass through the long stele corridor, enter a wooden door, and you will find a lotus pond. The clear water of the river reflects the silhouette of people, and it is quiet, elegant and charming. There is an old wooden house on the rockery beside the river. This is the mysterious "Nayun Mountain House". Maybe it was the place where Lu You once lived, but it no longer seems important, but it has also become a charming part of Shen Garden. Landscape.

Unknowingly, I passed through the gate of "Dongyuan" and came to a major scenic spot in Shen Garden. I looked to the left and saw a small house. The rain kept hitting me. face, so I decided to take a good rest under the eaves. Unintentionally, I was surprised to find a small stone tower with a strange and novel shape opposite. Although it did not have the momentum to reach into the sky, it was still a charming scenery. , through this stone tower, you will find that there is another "Eight Wings Tower" behind it. The bricks and tiles are built on the corners of the eaves. The rainwater flows straight down between the cracks of the tiles. At this time, the bricks and tiles are also washed by the rain. It's so clear and bright that it's truly amazing.

? I walked to the "Xiangyin Pavilion" where a beautiful love story was once recorded. Before that, I accidentally discovered the "Magpie Bridge". On the roadside, there was an inscription "Tender love is like water, good times are like this." Dream, bear to look at the magpie bridge and return home." The seven words "heart to heart bring love" are also engraved at the entrance of Xiangyin Pavilion, which adds an unexpected color to the elegance of tourists. After passing through the jagged rockery, I carefully walked across the small wooden bridge that was always swaying, and when I reached a shabby corner, I saw another small bamboo forest. These bamboos were deeply rooted in the soil, coming and going with the wind and rain. Shaking, it seems to be telling people something.

? After turning a section of corridor, we went straight to the "Qiongyao Pond". This pond is in the shape of a double heart, with the "big" heart surrounding the "small" heart, which invisibly shows a strange The form, and the wall directly opposite, which is euphemistically called the "Concentric Wall", interacts with it. The perfect combination of the two scenes adds a beautiful and harmonious color to Dongyuan.

? In the helpless rain, I slowly climbed onto the "praying platform" and silently made my wish on the platform. At this time, a Shaoxing classic Shaoxing opera song moved me His eyes shifted to a teahouse, only to find that the teahouse was the entrance to Dongyuan. In the wonderful singing, I stepped out of the gate of Dongyuan and came to Shuanggui Hall, which was engraved with "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection".

? Here, a group of audiences are quietly listening to the wonderful singing of the opera actors. Yes, listening to Yue Opera here is definitely a beautiful enjoyment. In Shuanggui Hall, there is a wind screen, several tables and chairs, and the famous carving of "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection". After listening to a wonderful opera, I passed through a small door and came to a pavilion called "Leng Cui Pavilion". I really can't see any difference, but I think Shen Yuan gave it another kind of value. Standing here, facing the "Gourd Pond" of the Song Dynasty, I suddenly felt much more relaxed. The rain was dripping on the water, causing ripples. It was so charming! Then, along the tree-lined path, we came to the "half-bill pavilion". Although it has become a ruin after several years, it is still worth a visit.

? Walking back along the original road, you will find that on the remaining wall, a major cultural heritage of Shen Garden, the "hairpin head phoenix stele" by Lu You and Tang Wan, is clearly engraved between the lines. In the novel, Lu You and Tang Wan all express their strong desire to pursue freedom of love, and also describe the love tragedy of the two of them being unable to fall in love due to the interference of feudal ideas. It made me think about it and never wanted to leave. Opposite the "Chai Tou Feng Monument" is the "Lone Crane Pavilion". Lu You vividly compares himself to the "Lone Crane", which also expresses Lu You's depressed mood in the face of the vicissitudes of the world. There is also a "Tingchi Ruins" in "Guhexuan", which is surrounded by several stone pillars. It is a joy to be able to see such a monument today.

? After leaving "Guhexuan", we carefully viewed the historic "Mingchi" and "Liuchaojing", and after taking a rest at "Xianyun Pavilion", we came to what was once Luyou Pavilion. "Wenmeijian" is the place where you can enjoy plum blossoms in March of winter. The whole house is covered with palm trees. Although there is no beautiful scenery of plum blossoms blooming, I feel it is necessary to appreciate Lu You's mood and situation when he was appreciating plum blossoms.

? Walking along a wooden path, I saw a fake stone with the words "Poetic Land Stone" engraved on it. It seemed to tell tourists that Shen Garden is a charming poetic realm. Crossing a crystal clear stream is the north gate of Shen's Garden. On one side of the corner, I finally saw the "Broken Cloud Stone" that best expresses Lu You and Tang Wan's unwavering and inseparable love. Although there is a gap in the middle, it is not completely separated. It lies quietly in the water, making people sigh. Just after leaving the north gate, I witnessed with my own eyes the three characters "Shen's Garden" that Mr. Guo Moruo wrote after visiting Shen Garden during his lifetime. This made me feel that my visit to Shen Garden in the rain was indeed very meaningful.

? Faced with such charming scenery and such a mysterious love tragedy, I suddenly became inspired by poetry, so I wrote "A Visit to Shen Garden". The poem is: Xiao Yu Feifei visits Shen Garden, Pavilion Enjoy all the terraces, pavilions and pavilions. I deeply understand Lu Tang's pursuit of love, and deeply appreciate Lu You's eternal words.

The scenery of Shen Garden is infinitely beautiful, and everything is self-explanatory. Shen Yuan's heritage is endless, and the coldness in her heart utters the words of sadness.
