Traffic information, ticket information, visit Yangzhou Wangshi Xiaoyuan Xiao Yuan covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters, with nearly 100 old houses and a construction area of 1 1,580 square meters. It is one of the most well-preserved salt merchants' halls in Yangzhou today. Its houses are characterized by regular layout, exquisite decoration, exquisite gardens and rich cultural heritage. Wangxiao Garden has attracted many Chinese and foreign tourists for many years with its unique characteristics and little-known secrets of salt merchants. Now it is a national key cultural relics protection unit. The layout of the small garden group is regular: the houses are horizontally juxtaposed with three roads, extending vertically to the main house, with the front and rear axes running through, and the left and right hatchbacks are symmetrical, reflecting the Confucian doctrine of the mean. The veranda next to the main hall and the wing room in the bedroom behind the hall embody the feudal ethical concept of equality between men and women. The odd combination of houses embodies the mysterious geomantic consciousness that odd numbers are positive and even numbers are negative, and fully embodies the intelligence and artistic creativity of working people in ancient China. The balanced proportion of residential courtyards, adequate ventilation and lighting, vertical and horizontal interconnection, and free separation inside and outside are one of the traditional patterns of Yangzhou government doors. Exquisite and exquisite garden: There are small courtyards of "livable", "spring courtyard" and "welcoming the sunrise" in front of the hall and behind the house, which makes the residential courtyards blend into one and have twists and turns. Exquisite decoration: wood carving, brick carving, stone carving and decoration, wall and ground are skillfully combined to complement each other. Precious materials, such as white marble, golden nanmu, mahogany, cypress, etc. There are various techniques, such as intaglio, flat, shallow and deep relief, single-sided and double-sided through carving, etc. The theme is rich, with geometric patterns, birds and beasts, flowers, birds, fish and insects, mountains and rivers, profound meanings and good luck. The literature and history are profound: there are calligraphy "Kai, Li, Xing, Cao and Zhuan" on the lintels, stone tablets, plaques and couplets, which are masterpieces of famous artists. The allusions are exquisite and intriguing, and they blend in with the environment in the small garden and set each other off. Little-known secrets: There are secret doors, dark rooms, dark walls, dark cabinets, treasure caves and basements in the garden. Wang's small garden is surrounded by high walls, which are thick and have no windows. Its function is to guard against theft and fire. Please look at the wall of this guard room. The gatehouse was not carved or painted. Seemingly simple and simple, it is actually a hidden wealth. Moreover, by the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, social unrest and wars continued, and salt merchants were not comparable to those in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. However, from both sides of the gate, a pair of deep relief stone drums and thick door leaves are nailed with the pattern of "Five Blessingg" with peeling iron, which still vaguely reveals the wealth of the former owner. A pair of stones engraved with "double-line" alunite are the same as the east entrance hall of Chengzhitang, Hongcun, yi county, Anhui. Why is it the same as the entrance hall of Hongcun ancient residence? This is because the owner of Wang Xiao Garden is a Huizhou merchant. Watch the threshold. There is a double ring on the threshold, which can be started up and down to facilitate the sedan chair to enter and exit. The exquisite brick carving "Fu Temple" (commonly known as the Land Temple) set against the wall is used to burn incense and worship the gods in the morning and evening, weddings and funerals. On the left side of the temple is the door of the brick grinder, and inside is the main hall. The courtyard in front of Chunhui house is spacious, and the flower street is paved with pebbles, tiles, tiles, cranes, deer, bats, peaches, ganoderma lucidum and Kirin, which means "cranes and deer are the same pine", "longevity is both perfect" and "Kirin is born and raised". There are several rockeries decorated with lake stones on both sides of the wall, including Qionghua, Chimonanthus praecox and Yingteng flowers and trees, which are elegant and pleasant. On the east side of the courtyard, the peak stone stands out and splashes near the eaves. There is also a small corner door in the east, which is covered with polished tiles, giving people an artistic conception. The courtyard went deep into the Chunhui room and saw the relief screen in Haimeihua in the Ming Dynasty. Although it has experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes, it is still as shiny as ever. The wood carvings of the screen skirt include "Lion Ball", "cornucopia" and "Evergreen", which are extremely exquisite. There are six natural landscape paintings embedded in marble, such as wind and streams, such as waterfalls and streams, such as dragons and snakes wandering. Seal script engraved couplets, plaques seem to be the finishing touch. In addition, the exquisite cypress trees and carved covers between the two times added the quaint and elegant atmosphere of Chunhui Room, which was lamented by Professor Ruan of the National Famous City Protection Committee as "a rare boutique". Through the exquisite decoration and carving of the cypress carving cover, the flying cover behind the screen and the flying cover at the wing crossing in Chunhui, it shows the ingenious use of wood carving, stone carving, brick carving, decoration, wall surface (such as Fu Temple and door cover) and ground (such as courtyard flower street), which complement each other. Its artistic style is not only complicated in the north, but also delicate in the south. It not only has the influence of emblem carving, but also has its own personality. It is characterized by exquisiteness, delicacy and various techniques, including negative carving, flat carving, shallow relief, deep relief, single-sided through carving and double-sided through carving. Wide range of materials: wood materials include Haimei, Huali, Nanmu, Cedar, Cunninghamia lanceolata, Citigroup, pine and so on. , rich in theme; There are auspicious, geometric patterns, birds, animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and profound landscapes; There are auspicious meanings, such as prolonging Song Heshou (Song Heshou), being safe all the year round (putting flowers in bottles), having a full house of children and grandchildren (squirrels and monkeys and grapes), playing peony in phoenix (Phoenix Peony), opening 100 seeds of pomegranate (pomegranate), and giving birth to the precious son of lotus nut (lotus seed). Marble natural landscape paintings, such as wind and mountains, waterfalls and streams, such as dragons and snakes wandering. After the introduction of Chunhui Room, the east side faces the north wing. This door is not a traditional opposite door, but a sliding door with a copper notch under the threshold. Look at the "treasure hole" on the floor. This is a carpenter who happened to find two movable floors when he was repairing the floor. When he lifted the raised floor, he found a thick iron plate covering the ground. There are two iron handles on the surface of the iron plate, and two thick iron rings on the side (used to lock the iron plate with iron bolts) rust and partially fall off, but the switch is free. When he opened the heavy iron plate cover, he found a "treasure hole" under the iron plate. The width is 1.2 m× 1.2 m square, and the wall is smooth. It is speculated that the cave was hidden under the floor and used to store valuables at that time. Later, the "treasure" was either taken out, stolen or never used after it was built. Of course, these are just guesses. The beautiful image of the old house left the back door of East Road and turned right into the kitchen. Judging from the spacious kitchen, there were still many people, chefs and servants eating at home in Wang's kitchen at that time. Go out from the hexagonal door in the north of the kitchen and enter the East Garden. Its hexagonal stone official script "spoon", that is, the meaning of kitchen, passes through the sidewalk next to the small courtyard rockery and enters the north octagonal gate. The stone forehead on the door is cursive "cherish", which means cherish. This place is where cooks and servants live and store grain and oil sundries. To the west of the path next to the cave wall is the "bathroom", in which the bathtub, tiles and floor tiles are all original objects 70 or 80 years ago. Look at the seal character on the moon lintel: "Flowers are full of flowers", and the postscript reads: "Mr. Boping and Mr. Zhu Kunzhong built a new house, restored a small garden behind them, and brought flowers and trees. When each Yun Lan first met, Zhu Kunzhong was in love. I wonder if Li Tao Garden, a feast of Taibai, is so happy? These six words are written at the top of the list, that is, I wish Premier Zhu Junhao a day of entertainment. Chen Yan (Wei Hua) ". It means that the Wang brothers not only built a new house in front, but also built a small garden in the back, with a secluded pavilion, cloisters and flowers. Whenever the moon is full, the Wang brothers get together for fun. I don't know if the Peach and Plum Garden in Li Taibai is so interesting, that is, Li Bai and his brothers gathered in the Peach and Plum Garden in the Tang Dynasty, because Li Bai wrote an article called "Preface to the Spring Banquet in Peach and Plum Garden". Describe "Peach Blossom Garden, the preface of family happiness". Wang Zhuming has four sons and two daughters. Although his sons are Taijie, Tailin, Teke and Taidi, it means "top grade Kirin, imperial examination and". The brand names are Boping, Zhong Shi, Shuying and Hi-Tech respectively, and they are engaged in salt merchants, real estate (Shanghai), leather goods (Nanjing), financial bank (Shanghai), Zuo Wei Street in Yangzhou (now Zhongbaiyidian in Guangling Road) and Xiangyanhao respectively. Chunhuitang house on Hongfen East Road in Qingqiang was expanded by Wang Boping, the eldest son, in the early years of the Republic of China, while Zhong Road and Xi Road were left over from the late Qing Dynasty. Coming out of the bathroom, turn into the alum stone moon gate. The stone forehead facing east on the moon gate means "welcome the sunrise" in official script, which means that the sunrise rises in the east and its sunshine is continuously sprinkled into the small garden. The stone forehead facing west on the moon door is "deep in the yard in spring" and the font is regular script. The stone forehead in the northbound fire lane is the seal cutting "Ian". The stone forehead on the back is the running script "Tibetan Secret". His calligraphy includes China's calligraphy art of "Kai, Li, Xing, Cao and Zhuan", with profound brushwork and intriguing title. There is a white marble moon cave gate between "Xiao Yuan Chunshen" Garden and "Yingxi" Garden, and all kinds of water mill bricks on both sides separate the East and West Gardens, so the scenery is integrated. Standing in front of the moon, looking east at the scenery of the small garden, the stone peaks stand tall, the cypresses are towering, and the pomegranate is flourishing. The towering blue-gray silk seam Yunshan-style wall is like Youlong. Look at the small garden in the west, the winding corridor, the study in the greenhouse, the bamboo poles, flowers and trees on the peony platform, and the window of the study. Pomegranates are as old as dragons and snakes. Then look at the five-color glass. If you look in from the outside, you can't see anything clearly, but the scenery outside through the five-color glass is clear and colorful. There is a floor-standing mirror with plum blossom frame in the northwest corner of the room, and there is a secret door behind the mirror (it was built firmly because it was still used by the flower factory at that time). Entering the flower room from the side door, there is an ice crack flying cover in the south of the hall, and there are three groups of characters carved in the middle of Haitang; In the middle are the three birthday stars "Fu, Lu and Shou", which means "Three Stars shine high", on the right is "Liu Hai plays the golden toad", and on the left is "Wang Wen seeks the virtuous" (that is, it is often said that "Jiang Taigong catches the bait if he wishes"). On the west side, there is a group of ground wood carvings composed of pine, bamboo and plum, which are "three friends of the old cold". Appreciate rattan climbing Gu Song, old bamboo shoots and plum blossoms. Pine trees are hardy trees, which do not wither after winter, and are symbols of integrity and moral integrity. Bamboo is also resistant to winter, its character is neither humble nor supercilious, and it is often a symbol of different popular and elegant people. Plum blossoms greet the cold in Ao Shuang, and the flowers are overflowing, which is a symbol of perseverance and indomitable personality. As a precious wood carving material, nanmu golden silk is carved in two directions, and both sides look the same. There is a bomb shelter on the porch of the West Flower Hall. This bomb shelter was not a product of "deep excavation and extensive accumulation" during the Cultural Revolution, but an existing bomb shelter during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. The cave is small, with two entrances and exits, and there are two closets in the cave. If you are interested, you might as well go in and take a walk. There is a back door of Wangxiao Garden leading to Majiaxiang in the west corridor of the air-raid shelter, and there is an Islamic worship temple on the north side of the lane. There is an ancient well in the temple, which is called "Seven Aunties Well". It is said that seven women were killed and entered the memorial site of the sacrificial temple. A stone was embedded in the wall by the well to record their events. On the south side of the air-raid shelter, the hexagonal gate of Juyi stone forehead is the patio, and in front of it are three two-wing rooms. The reason why this door was built today is because this house is the queen's private residence and is not open to the public. Go east along Peony Terrace and enter the south-facing fire lane from the hexagonal gate in Yi 'an. Go east along Peony Terrace and enter the south-facing fire lane from the hexagonal gate in Yi 'an. After crossing the middle road, enter the west room, enter the west road, enter the house, then enter the narrow to wide alley from the side door of the west room, and then enter the south of the ship hall. Judging from its shape and layout, the south is the boathouse, the middle is the boathouse, and the north is the stern. This is a form built according to geographical scope. The wood-carved plum blossom cover in the ship hall is also exquisite, with "phoenix peony" on the top and "lion ball" on the bottom, which means flowers, birds and animals. Through the window sash facing east, you can enjoy the rockeries, flowers and trees in the elegant small garden. Leisure tea here, don't have a taste.
