Plum Garden was founded in 1912. Rong Zongjing and Rong Desheng, famous national industrialists and businessmen, opened a garden in Dongshan, and used the former site of the small peach garden of Xu Dianyi, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, to plant thousands of plums. After more than ten years of construction, it covers an area of 81 mu. Next, I compiled the tour guide words about Wuxi Meiyuan for everyone to read and appreciate!
Wuxi Meiyuan guide 1
Wuxi Meiyuan is located in the southwest suburb of Wuxi, 7 kilometers away from the urban area, bordering Taihu Lake in the south and Longshan Meiyuan in the north, which is known as the place where spring begins in Wuxi. In 1912, Rong Zongjing and Rong Desheng, pioneers of national industry and commerce in our country, bought land to build a garden, planted plums on the mountain, decorated the mountain with plums, and called it Meiyuan. In 1955, Rong Yiren, the son of Rong Desheng, presented Meiyuan to the Wuxi government except the Le Nong Villa. In 1988, Wuxi government extended the garden to Hengshan. Now Meiyuan has become a tourist attraction integrating famous flowers, architecture and culture. Ok, the overview of scenic spots is also introduced here. Now, please follow me into Meiyuan.
when we entered Meiyuan, the first thing we saw was the carved stone in Meiyuan. The wisteria beside the carved stone was planted by Mr. Rong Desheng himself, which means "purple gas comes from the east". On the east side of the garden gate is the "heart-washing spring", "things are clean when washed, and hearts are clear when washed".
Come this way, friends. In front of you are the worship stone in Mi Xiangyang and the Samsung Stone, which is called "Samsung Stone" because of its shape like "Fu Lushou" Samsung. And this "Mi Xiangyang worships the stone" means that Mi Xiangyang, a calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, especially likes strange stones. Every time he sees them, he will go to worship them, so he is called Mi Xiangyang worships the stone. There is also a saying that this stone is Mi Xiangyang, and it is worshipping the "Fu Lushou" three-star stone in front. Let's take a look at them. They are all Taihu stones, which are thin, wrinkled, leaky and transparent. It is said that if you light a incense under this strange stone, plumes of smoke will rise from the Ran Ran in the hole.
ok, let's take a look at Tianxin terrace, which was built in 1914 and originated from the meaning of "every plum blossom is Tianxin". Tianxintai is the first plum viewing spot in Meiyuan. This bridge under the stage is called "Wild Bridge". "Riding a donkey across the wild bridge, sighing that plum blossoms are thin". This means that plum blossoms are thin, oblique and curved.
friends, go up this stone path and you will arrive at Xianghaixuan. In front of it is a bronze statue of Rong Desheng, which was given to Mr. Rong Yiren by Mr. Ma Wanqi, rong family's in-laws in the 11th birthday of Mr. Rong Desheng. Next to this is Yanquan, which was named by Mr. Rong Desheng. Standing here, you can enjoy Meilin. There are many kinds of plum blossoms here, including Jade Butterfly Plum, Green Sepals Plum, Palace Pink Plum, Cinnabar Plum, Momei, Bone Red Plum, Longyou Plum and so on. Xianghaixuan was originally named Xiangxuehai, where "it's not snow from afar, but faint fragrance comes", and later Kang Youwei renamed it Xianghaixuan.
Through the promenade, we turned our heads and saw the plaque of "Worship Plum Blossom in Life". The ancients always associated flowers and trees with their own interests. Plum Blossom is the four gentlemen among flowers, and it is chaste and elegant. Here, the owner of Meiyuan respects its noble quality and is willing to follow the example of Plum Blossom and accompany it all his life.
my friends, this is the chanting hall, which was built in 1915 as an early morning building in the Qing dynasty. Because it is made of nanmu, it is called "Nanmu Hall". Why did the gardener take chanting as the name of the hall? This is because in the process of "saving the country through industry", Rong knew that the people were food-oriented, so he started with the flour industry and then started the textile industry. So Mr. Rong Desheng took The Book of Songs? The meaning of hard work in planting crops in the wind is to make a name for the church and make it quaint without forgetting its roots.
There is a plaque hanging in the middle, and the couplets on both sides are "mountains on all sides are painted, and flowers are not seen every day for a year", which is the superior environment of Mingmei Garden. "Make millet and silks fill the world, and often be the master in the lake and mountain". This is the purport of the gardener.
friends, let's go in and have a look. The whole hall is antique, decorated with mahogany furniture and stone scenery, and hung with many famous calligraphy and paintings, which makes the whole hall solemn and elegant.
in the middle is the plaque "chanting the prayer hall", and the couplets on both sides read, "Play with others to open the garden and empty the mountain, and plant thousands of plum blossoms for the world", which shows the broad mind of the owner of the garden for the benefit of mulberry and selfless dedication.
On the top left is a natural plaque written by Rong Desheng, and on the right is a plaque written by Li Zemin. On the west wall, the couplets are "Drunk on a sunny day, Sleep on a rainy day, be happy and simple, feel ashamed, short songs are strong, Long song is crazy, poems are mediocre, and music is endless." Come on, let's focus on the couplets on the east wall. "Make a first-class wish, have a middle-class relationship, and enjoy a second-class blessing;" If you choose to stand high, sit flat and walk wide. Its horizontal criticism is what we have just seen, "bow down to plum blossoms all my life." This first-class wish refers to Mr. Rong Desheng's great ambition in his life, starting from saving the country through industry. In the end, he said that Mr. Rong Desheng was happy-go-lucky, a peaceful mind, and enjoyed the first-class blessing. He said that Mr. Rong Desheng benefited the mulberry, and when he was rich, he did not forget the people, built the Baiqiao Hui, Baojie Bridge, Jiangnan University and so on. The prosperity of the Rong family is inseparable from Rong Desheng's plum blossom spirit and the principle of being human. Out of the chanting hall, let's take a look at Le Nong Villa, which is a three-room western-style bungalow where Rong Desheng used to live. Rong Desheng "Le Nong", so it was named "Le Nong Villa". Here is the stone mill in Baoxing flour mill. Putting it here shows that the owner of the garden does not forget his roots.
Then, when you go uphill, you will see the Zhaohe Pavilion, which echoes the Fanghe Pavilion in Gushan, Hangzhou. One move makes people think. On that mountainside is the "Nian Ai Pagoda", which was built by the garden owner in memory of his mother.
friends, we finally arrived in Huaxi, which is picturesque all year round. Everyone can move freely in Huaxi. That's the end of my explanation. Thank you.
Wuxi Meiyuan Guideline 2
Meiyuan is located on the southern slope of Hushan Mountain in the western suburbs of Wuxi. It was originally a private garden built in 1912 by Rong Zongjing and Rong Desheng, the "first household" of China's national industry. Every year from February to March, thousands of plum blossoms bloom together in the scenic area, and the sea of flowers all over the mountains attracts countless long guns and short guns. There is an old saying in Wuxi, "Spring begins in Meiyuan".
Visiting Meiyuan requires high seasonality, preferably in spring. There are many kinds of plum blossoms in early spring, such as red, white, pink, single petal and compound petal. Some of them can bloom in different colors on the same tree, and there are precious light green plum blossoms. There are many tourists who come to enjoy plum blossoms on weekends, so it is best to come on weekdays if possible. It is slightly later than the flowering period of plum blossoms. When tulips are in full bloom from late March to April, a tulip flower show will be held in the scenic spot. In addition, plants in the desert can be seen in the ornamental greenhouse located in the Garden Expo Park. If you don't visit in spring, you can enjoy lotus in summer, smell osmanthus fragrance in autumn and have a lantern festival in Mid-Autumn Festival.
If it doesn't happen to be flowering, then Meiyuan is just like an ordinary big park. At this time, you can look at the cultural relics related to the Rong brothers, the builders of Meiyuan. For example, Xixin Spring, Tianxintai and three Taihu stones on its south side, which are shaped like "Fu, Lu and Shou" respectively, the main building of Rong's building, the chanting hall (commonly known as "Nanmu Hall", and the furnishings are all original objects in rong family), and the reading place and other attractions. On the hillside of Hushan Mountain, the Nian 'ai Tower built by the Rong brothers for their mother is a landmark building of Meiyuan. It is a hexagonal tower with a green roof, with three floors and a height of 18 meters. You can see it from a distance. You don't have to climb too many roads to get to Nian 'ai Tower. You can overlook Meiyuan when you climb the tower. Go east to Kaiyuan Temple funded by Rong Desheng. The vegetarian noodles in the vegetarian restaurant of Kaiyuan Temple are delicious.
Gu Mei Kistler Garden is also worth visiting. You can learn about popular science knowledge and plum culture in the Mei Culture Museum in the garden.
Visitors with children can walk to the right after entering the gate of the scenic spot. There are rock climbing projects, single-plank bridges, single-step bridges, bridges and other brave roads in the ecological park, and the children will definitely have a good time.
Hengshan Mountain in the east of Meiyuan is also included in the scenic area. There are some pavilions and pavilions built sporadically, and there are not many scenic spots. In the past, it was basically climbing mountains and climbing mountains.

Introduction to Wuxi Meiyuan 4
Dear tourists and friends, the scenic spot we are going to visit today is the famous modern garden in the south of the Yangtze River, one of the national key cultural relics protection units, also known as Rongshi Meiyuan.
Meiyuan is 7 kilometers away from the urban area. It is located on the southern slope of Dongshan and Hushan in the western suburbs of Wuxi. It is one of the famous plum viewing resorts in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also known as the three major plum viewing resorts in the south of the Yangtze River with Deng Wei in Suzhou and Gushan in Hangzhou. It was built in 192 by Rong Zongjing and Rong Desheng, two famous national industrialists.
So, today, let me lead you into the Rongs Meiyuan to interpret the successful history of the Rongs' blood and tears. Start from Sanxing Stone, watch rice worship in Xiangyang, climb Tianxintai, walk through Xianghaixuan, stroll through Meilin, visit the chanting hall, the essence scenic spot of the whole park, then visit Lenong Villa, Zhaohe Pavilion and Dengnian Pagoda, and end the tour in Huaxi.
Samsung Stone The "Mi Xiangyang Worship Stone" in front of us is more than 3 meters high. It is said that the stone body has 9,981 holes, which can accommodate fists, but is small enough to accept fingers. It is a typical lake stone in the water, which is bizarre and looks like Mi Dian bowing to the stone.
among the three-star stones, the "shuyun" blessing stone is the most obvious. Curiously, through the largest hole in the stone, the Nian 'e Pagoda at the top of the Hushan Mountain looms in the distance. I don't know if this stone fell here on purpose.
The carved stone in Meiyuan that we see now was copied and re-carved according to the old photos in 198, and the old carved stone was destroyed in _ _. The wisteria beside the carved stone has a history of more than 1 years, which means "purple gas comes from the east" and symbolizes good luck and wealth. The Xixin Spring on the east side of the Garden Gate was dug in 192 and named by Mr. Rong Desheng.
Tianxin Terrace goes in the opposite direction along this road, and we will see a hexagonal pavilion located on a rockery. This is the famous Tianxin Terrace, which was built in 192 and originated from the meaning that "every plum blossom is a heavenly heart". Walking around the pavilion, there is a bridge in front of you. Do you know its name? It's called Wild Bridge. It alludes to the artistic conception of the ancient poem "Riding a donkey across a small bridge and sighing that plum blossoms are thin". You can have a rest in the pavilion. Interested friends can also take photos here.
Xianghaixuan followed the stone path and we came to Xianghaixuan.
As for the plaque in the pavilion, it is said that when the pavilion was completed, Rong Desheng bought Xianghai Pavilion written by Kang Youwei for fifty taels. Later, Kang Youwei, who came to visit, found out that it was a fake, so he wrote the word Xianghai again.
Xianghaixuan is one of the best places to enjoy plums in the plum garden, especially the plum varieties. There are white jade butterfly plums, cinnabar plums dripping with rouge, and ink plums with heavy makeup.
The bronze statue of Rong Desheng in front of the porch was presented by Mr. Ma Wanqi in 1986.
The chanting hall passes through Xianghaixuan, which is the main building of Meiyuan. The chanting hall is commonly known as "Nanmu Hall". It was completed in 192. The chanting hall is the main building of the "Rongshi Meiyuan", with the center facing south, and the scenery is set according to the situation: Le Nong Villa on the left, Liuyue Village on the right, Xianghaixuan in front, and Zhaohe Pavilion on the back, with all the stars supporting the moon, which is magnificent. Everyone looked up. The plaque of "the first lake and mountain" in front of us was written by Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and hung on the pillars on both sides. One was Qin Qinong's famous sentence of Zhu Zhishan, a talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River: All mountains are painted, and flowers are not seen every day for a year. One is Qian Yizhen's calligraphy entitled "Making the world rich with millet and silk" in 192, and he often works with Hushan as the master. These couplets and plaques name the environmental advantages of the garden site and the interest of gardening. Stepping into the hall, nave hangs a plaque "Chanting the Hall" in the middle of the hall, which is written by Wu Zuoren, a famous contemporary painter. Mr. Rong took the meaning of "The Book of Songs" to grow crops and work hard as his name. The implication is profound, and it is quaint without forgetting the root. In the process of practicing his thought of "saving the country through industry", Rong knew that people's livelihood was based on food and clothing, so he started with flour industry, followed by textile industry, both of which were based in rural areas. The couplets on the two pillars "play with everyone to open the garden and empty the mountain;" Planting tens of thousands of plum blossoms for Bufangxin in the world points out the purpose of gardening, which shows the broad mind of the owner of the garden who benefited the mulberry and made selfless dedication in that year.
The furnishings in the chanting hall are all original objects from rong family, including mahogany furniture, carved wooden screen of Fulu Shouxi, bronze mirror and marble hanging screen, etc.
