Shen Garden

"Night at Shen Garden" closely follows the historical facts of the love between Lu You and Tang Wan. It describes and exaggerates the love through various forms, such as the red and tender hands in the garden, the taste of yellow rattan wine, the appreciation and explanation of "Chai Tou Feng", and the performance of folk art programs in the "Shen Garden Love" party. It greatly affects the emotions of the audience, making people moved by the loyal love of Lu You and Tang Wan, and indulge in the famous garden of love in the graceful music. Unfortunately, the area open at night is relatively small, only one-third of the daytime area.

To be honest, maybe it's because of the lack of artistic cells, I am really disappointed with the 5A-level scenic spot Shen Garden. I feel that the scenery in front of me is really incompatible with the name of the 5A-level scenic spot. It is clearly a very ordinary park. I don't see what's special about it. The scenery is good. It's nice to take a leisurely stroll on weekends and holidays, if you don't need tickets. It is said that there are still many allusions in Shen Garden. If no one tells them, they are all very inconspicuous things. The biggest feature or characteristic of Shen Garden is the love between Lu You and Tang Wan, especially "Chai Tou Feng", which conveys the romantic love meaning of this exquisite Jiangnan garden. It was after Lu You and Tang Wan divorced under the pressure of Lu You's mother that a few years later, when visiting Shen Garden, Lu You met Tang Wan and her husband who had remarried and wrote the famous "Chai Tou Feng".



Red tender hands, yellow Teng wine, the whole city is full of spring colors and the palace walls are covered with willows. The east wind is bad, the joy is thin, a heart full of sorrow, and years of separation. Wrong, wrong, wrong!



Spring is the same as before, but I am thinner and thinner, and the red tears soak through the silk gauze. Peach blossoms have fallen, and the pool pavilion is empty. Although the mountain oath is still there, it is difficult to entrust a brocade letter. No, no, no!



However, if we look at it from today's perspective, isn't it just a story between a wicked mother-in-law, a mama's boy, and a bullied daughter-in-law?



Having said that, we cannot use modern perspectives to comment on ancient people. The ancients had their own constraints. In ancient times, disobedience and unfilial piety were heinous crimes. What is disobedience and unfilial piety? If you dare not listen to your mother, it is disobedience and unfilial piety. Maybe it is what modern people call foolish filial piety.



But there is no harm without comparison. There is another character here, Tang Wan’s later husband Zhao Shicheng.



I think the person who truly loved Tang Wan should be her later husband Zhao Shicheng.



Zhao Shicheng was no ordinary person. He was a royal descendant of the Zhao Song Dynasty and was also well-known for his talent.



As a member of the royal family, marrying a divorced woman in that era must have been a lot of pressure.



While visiting Shen Garden, his wife asked to send wine and food to her ex-husband, and Zhao Shicheng did so.



Later, Zhao Shicheng arranged a minor official position for Lu You, who was having a bad career.



He probably did all this to make Tang Wan happy. He can be said to be a perfect man.



As a result, Lu You expressed his nostalgia for Tang Wan in public. I wonder if he wanted to rekindle their old love with Tang Wan, or did he want to make this old story public?



Tang Wan later read The Golden Hairpin. Perhaps she felt her scars were exposed? Perhaps she wanted to clear her name? Not long after, she died of depression.



It is said that after Tang Wan passed away, Zhao Shicheng never married and died about 12 or 13 years later. After his death, Zhao Shicheng was posthumously awarded the title of Yongjia Gonghui Wang, a first-rank prince. Zhao Shicheng died in Fuzhou.



Lu You later married a concubine.



Zhao Shicheng looks like a real man, but unfortunately, good people don’t have a good ending. I remember the line in A Chinese Odyssey: "Look at that man, he looks like a dog."



Lu You ultimately failed Tang Wan, and Tang Wan ultimately failed Zhao Shicheng.

Shen Garden is just opposite the Lu Xun hometown scenic spot. The poem "Phoenix Hairpin" has earned so many people's tears! Since you are in Shaoxing, how can you not go to Shen Garden? The reason why Shen Garden has become the Shen Garden in people's hearts today is mostly because of the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan. Tang Wan is the regret and pain in Lu You's heart, and also became a touching and tender piece of tenderness in the works of this bold poet. Shen Garden is not big - it is said that the former Shen Garden was several times larger than the current one. The Shen Garden we see now was rebuilt in the 1980s. Walking and stopping in it, the wall with "Phoenix Hairpin" is the ancient monument I want to find the most. The other scenery is beautiful, but it can't bring me more interest.

2023.7.18 The first stop of our trip to Shaoxing was Shenyuan. Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed. The service in the scenic area was too bad. We couldn't use WeChat, but only Alipay. The scale and scenery of the campus were very average. It was not worth charging so much for a wall.

It has long been known that there is a Shen Garden in Shaoxing City. It has been recorded in ancient books that it was built by a wealthy businessman named Shen in the Southern Song Dynasty, hence the name. But now Shen Garden is famous all over the world because the Southern Song poet Lu You wrote the eternal love poem "Chai Tou Feng" here.



Lu You and the talented Tang Wan were deeply in love after their marriage, but were later separated by her mother because they had not given birth to a child for three years. Many years later, Lu You ran into Tang Wan in Shen Garden. After drinking, he was so sad that he wrote the lyrics of "Phoenix Hairpin" on the wall:



Red tender hands, yellow rattan wine. The whole city is full of spring colors, and the palace walls are covered with willows. The east wind is bad, the joy is thin, and I am full of sorrow, and have been separated for several years. Wrong, wrong, wrong! Spring is the same as before, but people are thinner. The red tears are soaked through the silk. The peach blossoms fall, and the pool pavilion is empty. Although the mountain alliance is still there, it is difficult to entrust a brocade letter. No, no, no!



Later, Tang Wan learned about this poem and was extremely sad. She also wrote a poem in response. In fact, only a few words of Tang Wan's poem have been passed down. A poet in the Ming Dynasty was kind enough to fill in the broken sentences and wrote a good one:



The world is cruel, people are mean, rain sends the evening flowers fall easily. The morning breeze dries the tears, I want to write down my thoughts, I lean on the railing alone. It's hard, hard, hard! People have grown apart, today is not yesterday. The sick soul is often like a swing rope, the horn sounds cold, the night is late, afraid of people asking, swallowing tears and pretending to be happy. Hide, hide, hide!



Today, these two poems are engraved on a broken wall in the garden, which attracts a lot of attention. Couples often look at the wall and sigh at this sad love story.



The garden is not large, but there are many pavilions and pavilions, most of which were built after 1985. Many of them are interpreted based on Lu You's poems. For example, Lu You once compared himself to "a solitary crane flying back home", so the "Solitary Crane Pavilion" was built here, and because he wrote the poem "the cold green wets my clothes at midnight", the "Cold Green Pavilion" was built, etc. If there is a real monument, it is the dry well, on which a new pavilion is built, called the "Six Dynasties Well Pavilion".



The air here is fresh and the atmosphere is very leisurely. Couples, friends, and families gather here. It is more like a city park with a strong sense of life. Shenyuan is very close to Lu Xun's hometown, just a 5-minute walk away. There is no ticket during the day, and there are Yue Opera performances in the evening, with a fee of 70 yuan.

Shen Garden has a history of more than 800 years. Shen Garden, also known as "Shen's Garden", was a private garden of a wealthy businessman named Shen in the Southern Song Dynasty. The garden has pavilions, bridges, flowing water, and shady trees, which is a Jiangnan scenery. It is the only Song-style garden that has been preserved among the many classical gardens in Shaoxing. Shen Garden is less than 300 meters away from Lu Xun's hometown.

Shen Garden is very close to the Lu Xun theme area, and it is only about 200 meters away on foot. There is a narrow river on the side of the road between the two places, and you can take a black-sailed boat to travel back and forth between the two places. Before 5 pm, Shen Garden can be visited for free, but you need to show your ID to get a ticket at the door. The area of ​​Shen Garden is larger than we imagined. Although there are basically no real monuments in the garden, it is worth paying tribute to the two "Chai Tou Feng" poems engraved on the screen wall just for the sad love story.

Shen Garden, also known as "Shen's Garden", was a private garden of a wealthy businessman named Shen in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was built in the Song Dynasty and was very large when it was first completed, covering an area of ​​more than 70 acres. Lu You once left a famous poem "Chai Tou Feng" here. The poem was written on the wall, expressing the pain of "separation". Tang Wan saw it and wrote a poem with a sad mood, and soon died of depression. In his later years, Lu You visited Shen Garden several times and wrote poems to express his feelings. In 1192 AD, he revisited Shen Garden and wrote another poem, writing: "There is a small garden of Shen's family in the south of Yuji Temple. Forty years ago, I wrote a small poem on the stone, and I feel sad when I read it." The love tragedy of Tang Wan and Lu You is a pity, and it has also become the "golden signboard" of Shen Garden. Shen Garden is most famous for her "Night of Shen Garden", and most of the pavilions are being renovated, probably to prepare for the peak tourist season of the Spring Festival.

Shen Garden is a national 5A-level scenic spot located in Chunbo Lane, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City. It is a famous garden in the Song Dynasty with a history of more than 800 years. Shen Garden, also known as "Shen's Garden", is a private garden of a wealthy businessman named Shen in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was built in the Song Dynasty and was very large when it was first built, covering an area of ​​70 acres. The garden has pavilions, bridges, flowing water, and shady trees, with Jiangnan scenery. It is the only Song-style garden that has been preserved among the many classical gardens in Shaoxing.

The reason why Shenyuan is famous is that Lu You once left a famous poem "Chaitoufeng" here. Unlike the Lu Xun hometown scenic spot, tickets are required to enter here, and the ticket price is a bit expensive, and the cost performance is average.

Shen Garden, also known as "Shen's Garden", was the private garden of a wealthy businessman named Shen in the Southern Song Dynasty. It became famous because the great poet Lu You left behind the famous poem "The Golden Hairpin" here.

The Phoenix Hairpin by Lu You

Red and tender hands, yellow wine.

The city is full of spring colors and willows are hanging on the palace walls.

The east wind is evil and the joy is thin.

A heart full of sorrow and years of separation.

Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Spring is the same as before, but people are thinner.

The red tear marks soaked the silk gauze.

Peach blossoms fall, idle pool pavilion.

Although the oath is still there, it is difficult to entrust a letter to someone.

Mo, Mo, Mo!



The Phoenix Hairpin by Tang Wan

The world is cruel and people are evil.

The rain brings dusk and the flowers fall.

The morning breeze dries up all the tears, leaving only traces.

I want to write down my thoughts, speaking to myself alone.

Difficult, difficult, difficult!

People have grown apart, and today is no longer the same as yesterday.

A sick soul is often like a swing rope.

The horn sounds coldly, and the night is late.

Afraid of being questioned, I swallowed my tears and pretended to be happy.

Conceal, conceal, conceal!



Lu You and Tang Wan were a match made in heaven, but they separated due to opposition from Lu's mother. Lu You visited Shen Garden alone and accidentally met Tang Wan and her husband Zhao Shicheng. He was so moved that he wrote the famous poem "Phoenix Hairpin". After reading it, Tang Wan burst into tears and wrote this poem "Phoenix Hairpin" after returning home. Soon after, she died of depression. The two of them are probably the most typical example of "destined but not destined".

I have always known that Lu You is a famous poet, but I didn’t expect that Tang Wan is also a talented woman who is no less talented than Lu You!

Shen's Garden, commonly known as Shen Garden, has a plaque with the three characters "Shen's Garden" written by Guo Moruo hanging above the simple garden gate. The garden is full of green willows, flowing water under a small bridge, and lotus in the wind at an ancient well. The tragic love story of the famous poet Lu You and his cousin Tang Wan has infused it with soul. People come here in droves to reminisce, reflect, and daydream. Shen Garden has become a famous garden of love throughout the ages.

It's a 5-6 minute walk from Lu Xun's hometown, a Jiangnan garden with some love stories. It would be better to find an explanation. There's really nothing to see if you go in by yourself 😂😂😂, it's just an ordinary garden!

Shen Garden is not big. It has the elegance of Suzhou gardens and the local culture of Shaoxing. The tragic love story of Lu You and Tang Wan adds a romantic feeling to it. It is a must-see attraction in Shaoxing. The 40 yuan ticket is neither expensive nor cheap. There are many people on holidays, so it is best to go there on weekdays. You can get there by taking BRT1 or BRT3 from the high-speed rail station, but you have to walk a little.

The entrance pond sprays a lot of mist, and the performance is not as bad as the reviews say...

The 50-minute show was very complete. There were five acts, and only the last act had a pop song.

The scenery is good, but the tickets are a bit expensive. The scenic area is not as big as described. The environment is still OK.

The small garden focusing on the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan is very small in scale and the scenery is average. The opera performances inside are recordings, and the ticket price of 40 feels a bit of a loss.

Two poems, three people

There was a butterfly hovering in front of the two poems, as if it had traveled through thousands of years.



(Some photos are too large and will be uploaded later)

The yard is quite large, with a pond and a pavilion, and with the sunshine, it still has a small and beautiful feeling. However, there are many people and it is quite noisy.

Red tender hands, yellow wine, the whole city is full of spring colors and willows on the palace walls. The east wind is bad, the joy is thin, a heart full of sorrow, years of separation. Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Spring is the same as before, but I am thinner and thinner, and the red tears soak through the silk gauze. Peach blossoms have fallen, and the pool pavilion is empty. Although the mountain oath is still there, it is difficult to entrust a brocade letter. No, no, no!

Located in Chunbo Lane, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, Shen Garden is a famous garden in the Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than 800 years. Shen Garden, also known as "Shen's Garden", was built in the Song Dynasty by a wealthy businessman named Shen. It was built on a large scale at the beginning, covering an area of ​​70 acres. There are pavilions, bridges, flowing water, green trees and Jiangnan scenery in the garden. Shen Garden is a national 5A-level scenic spot and the only Song-style garden preserved to this day among the many classical gardens in Shaoxing. Lu You once left his famous poem "Chai Tou Feng" here. The poem was written on the wall, expressing the pain of "separation". Tang Wan saw it and wrote it, with a sad feeling, and soon died of depression. In his later years, Lu You visited Shen Garden several times and wrote poems to express his feelings. In 1192 AD, he revisited Shen Garden and wrote another poem, writing: "There is a small garden of Shen's family in the south of Yuji Temple. Forty years ago, I wrote a small poem on the stone, and I was sad to read it."

Lu You's love story is tragic. May lovers finally get married.

It snowed overnight, and when I arrived at Shen Garden in the morning, it was just right for me to "walk in the snow to look for plum blossoms." Shen Garden was really beautiful after the snow, with pavilions and pools covered in silver, and golden plum blossoms blooming in the snow. There was also the story of Lu You and Tang Wan. Not bad.

At three o'clock, the two of them walked slowly to Shen Garden with umbrellas in the drizzle. Shen Garden was a famous garden in Shaoxing during the Song Dynasty, and it was also famous for the tragic marriage story of the famous poet Lu You and his cousin Tang Wan. Think about how happy people are today, who have control over their own lives and destiny!

32 years ago, I visited Shen Garden. I vaguely remember that there was a gate there. Let me take a photo with it again! I sigh at how time flies.

The main purpose is to see these two hairpin phoenix steles. Speaking of which, Lu You can be regarded as the pioneer of the mama's boy.

Shenyuan is also a relatively old tourist attraction. Just go in and take a look. It is not very distinctive.

This place is famous for the tragic love story of Lu You and Tang Wan. Due to various reasons, the two lovers did not end up in a happy ending. It would be great if every time I revisit this place, it feels as if I saw it for the first time in my life.

200 meters east of Lu Xun's ancestral home and Sanwei Book House, Shen Garden is also known to the world because of the encounter between Lu You and Tang Wan, which left behind the immortal name "Chai Tou Feng". There is also a Lu You Memorial Hall in the garden, and Shen Garden Night Performances are held in the evening. The entrance fee to the garden is 40 yuan during the day and 60 yuan at night. The garden has beautiful scenery of small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, terraces, and beautiful gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. Now it has become a theme park that many lovers must visit in Shaoxing and never forget their loyal love! It is worth a visit! However, before visiting Shen Garden, it is recommended that you learn about Lu You's "Chai Tou Feng", so that you will be more touched and emotional about the visit to Shen Garden! Don't be a "sleep on the bus, take pictures when you get off the bus" passerby who is standing in front of the wall with "Chai Tou Feng" and still asking the tour guide who Tang Wan is! Hahaha!

Shen Garden was built by businessman Shen Shishang. It is famous for the tragic love story of Lu You and Tang Wan. The garden vegetation is not planned in a clear way. Maybe it’s the wrong season for me to come. Because Lu You likes wintersweets, winter is the best season to visit Shen Garden. It seems that I have to come again in the future.

Shen Garden, also known as Shen's Garden, has a history of more than 800 years. It is the only Song-style garden that has been preserved among the many classical gardens in Shaoxing. A must-see when visiting Shen Garden is a screen wall made of old bricks from the Song Dynasty, on which is engraved Lu You's "Phoenix Hairpin" recalling Tang Wan. The shape and calligraphy of the stele are both good and worth taking a photo.

The gardens are more romantic and mysterious at night than during the day. The most worth seeing is the party at Shuangguitang, where you can not only see performances of Chai Tou Feng and a new version of the story of Lu You and Tang Wan, but also listen to various Shaoxing local operas.

The first half is particularly touching, but the pop songs in the latter part drag it down to the mundane world. It would have been perfect if it had been changed to a few poems written by Lu You when he visited Shen Garden in his later years, and it would have moved people to death.

Shen Garden, also known as "Shen's Garden", was a private garden of a wealthy businessman named Shen in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was built in the Song Dynasty and was very large when it was first completed, covering an area of ​​70 acres. The garden has pavilions, bridges, flowing water, green trees and Jiangnan scenery. My understanding of Shen Garden began with Lu You and Tang Wan's "Chai Tou Feng", and I have always wanted to visit the famous garden of love. In the garden, I saw the plaque inscribed by Guo Moruo, the stone tablet of "Chai Tou Feng", the lotus in the pond, and the Lu You Memorial Hall. The garden is not big, but the scenery is pleasant. The wishing wind chimes hanging on the eaves make crisp and pleasant sounds with the wind, which makes people feel the charm of entering the garden to explore.

Shen Garden is famous for the love story of Lu You and his childhood sweetheart. The two hairpin-head phoenix steles of the male and female protagonists are a vivid portrayal of the love story. The garden is a good place for a stroll with small bridges, flowing water and green trees.

In the city center, very close to Lu Xun's former residence, a wealthy family in ancient times. Tickets are not expensive.

The attraction is in the center of Shaoxing, opposite the pedestrian street of Lu Xun Museum. We went there on a non-weekend, so there were not many people. The garden was also relatively large, and the photos we took looked very quiet. As the old place where Lu You and Tang Wan visited, the Poetry Wall is a must-see, and there is also an exhibition of Lu You's life inside. If you buy a ticket together with a Shaoxing opera performance in the evening, it will be very expensive. Moreover, if you visit the garden, you can't see anything after dark. It is not recommended to buy this ticket. It is better to come and see the garden during the day.

I came here because of the story of Lu You and Tang Wan. It was raining that day and the weather was not very good, but there were still many people visiting the garden. This is a Song Dynasty garden and is worth a visit.

Shen Garden is very suitable for visiting this season. Although it is the end of August, the lotus flowers are still in full bloom. Although there are only a few of them, it feels detached. I entered Shen Garden too late. It was raining and I entered at 3 o'clock. The garden was closed at 5 o'clock. The security brother kindly urged me to leave all the way... I was reluctant to leave. I stopped for a while and took a few more photos when I saw any beautiful scenery on the way out. I silently comforted myself in my heart, just leave some thoughts for myself! I look forward to coming again next time.

The garden has pavilions, towers, bridges, flowing water and lush green trees.

This garden is unexpectedly large! It is also very interesting to visit, and the design is unique. Recommended~

It is a small garden with winding paths, and is mainly famous for the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan.

Shen Garden and Lu Xun's former residence are two scenic spots together.

Shen Garden is still recommended. Whether it is the Chaitoufeng of Lu You and Tang Wan or the Lu You Memorial Hall, you can learn about Lu You's life. The garden is not very delicate, but the scenery is good. It is the best preserved garden of the Song Dynasty. It is worth a visit for both scenery and humanities.

Shen Garden is a famous love garden that is a masterpiece throughout the ages. It is filled with the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan and is worth experiencing.

Except for the expensive tickets and a lot of mosquitoes, everything is pretty good. Of course, most of the gardens are rebuilt, but they are still very beautiful. 720° has rockery, water, forest, and very Jiangnan things. There are things in the memorial hall, but they are all fake~ Only the well and the pond were left at that time. Well, the explanation on the official account is also very powerful, but I can't understand if asking for love here is for separation?

The full name of Shen Garden is "Shen's Garden". As we all know, there have been many wealthy businessmen in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas since ancient times, so naturally there have been many similar private gardens. If you really want to appreciate the beauty of gardens, I recommend going to Suzhou, where the essence of Jiangnan gardens is. But if you are a fan of Lu You, or are very interested in classical romance, then come here, because Shen Garden is known as "the first love garden in Jiangnan" by later generations.

Lu Xun's hometown and Shen Garden are the check-in attractions for most people when they come to Shaoxing, so this is also the place with the most people.

Shen Garden is not very special. It is not very big. But what makes it famous is the love story of Lu You, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, and the famous poem "Phoenix on the Hairpin" he wrote in the garden. "Red and tender hands, yellow wine, spring scenery all over the city, willows on the palace walls". It is difficult to continue a love that has been broken up. Although the oath is still there, it is difficult to entrust a letter. Therefore, Shen Garden has added a bit of romance.

Although I am also a member of the Shen family, I had no intention of going to Shen Garden. Firstly, I need a ticket, and secondly, I have been to Humble Administrator's Garden, Jichang Garden, etc., and I heard that the scenery is incomparable.

As a result, today in the Shaoxing Museum, accompanied by the sad and graceful BGM in the museum, I accidentally saw "The Golden Hairpin", and after reading it once, I thought it was so well written, and I discovered that this was the source of the lyrics of "The Buddha Said". After searching the story of Lu You and Tang Wan on Baidu, I suddenly felt like tears were coming down.

It just so happened that I only had one hour to visit the Yellow Wine Museum, so I rushed to Shen Garden.

I walked around the small Shen Garden carefully, but I didn't find anything worth taking pictures of. It's really not the same level as the gardens in Suzhou, Wuxi, and even Hangzhou.

When I stood under the wall and read the famous "Phoenix Hairpin", I was not moved at all. Because I can't read cursive writing (I fainted in the toilet), it turned out that the BGM was to blame.

The most important thing about Shenyuan is that it is the historical status of Lu You's love. After all, it is a panoramic reconstruction, and it doesn't feel too beautiful. The ticket is a bit expensive.

Finally, have pity on our Shen family. In the end, even the owner of the house didn’t even have his name left, only a “rich businessman from the Shen family”.

The scenery inside is very ordinary and the garden is not big. I had to ask for a tour guide, otherwise the visit would be even more boring.

It was summer when I went there in 2014, so it should be a very common view. I didn't notice it at that time. It was not until the beginning of 2018 that the plum blossoms on the branches of Shenyuan were in bud and about to bloom. The fragrance remained but it was not abrupt. It was the most beautiful snow scene in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that I could imagine.

In the night of Shenyuan, listen to the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan at Chunshui Pavilion and experience the fun of life in Yue!

Shen Garden is very close to Lu Xun's former residence, only a 10-minute walk away.

Shen Garden, a garden with the mark of tragic love, has gone through the change of several dynasties, but the feeling of missing is still there. The mottled walls bear the imprint of the Song Dynasty. The two poems "Chai Tou Feng" written by Lu You and Tang Wan record a past and become the eternal scenery of Shen Garden.

Feel this poignant place, as if you have traveled through history!

The story of Shen Garden is mainly about the love story of the poet Lu You and Tang Wan. There is a Lu You Memorial Hall in the garden, which tells about Lu You's life-long poetry and political career, including many poems we have learned in textbooks. The hairpin phoenix stele of Lu You and Tang Wan is a must-see attraction in the garden. Their love is also very sympathetic and sighing.

A scenic spot with a Shaoxing flavor, very close to Lu Xun's former residence, with relatively few tourists. Mainly to see the two poems inscriptions, that's it.

Shen Garden is a national 5A-level scenic spot located in Chunbo Lane, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City. It is a famous garden in the Song Dynasty. Shen Garden has a history of more than 800 years.

Check out the online introduction:

Shen Garden is a private garden of a wealthy businessman named Shen in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was built in the Song Dynasty. The garden has pavilions, towers, flowing water, shady trees and Jiangnan scenery. It is the only Song-style garden that has been preserved to this day among the many classical gardens in Shaoxing.

Lu You once left his famous poem "Chai Tou Feng" here. The poem was written on the wall, expressing the pain of "separation". Tang Wan saw it and wrote a poem in response, expressing her deep feelings. She died of depression soon after. In his later years, Lu You visited Shen Garden several times and wrote poems to express his feelings. In 1192 AD, he revisited Shen Garden and wrote another poem, saying: "There is a small garden of the Shen family to the south of Yuji Temple. Forty years ago, I wrote a small poem on the stone. I feel sad when I read it."



So many people come here just to see their Chai Tou Feng Stele.

The ticket is 40 yuan, and I only feel that it is a private garden without more artistic conception. Since this kind of garden is seen more often, the ticket feels a little expensive.

If you like love stories and historical figures and have a certain complex about them, you can read it

The two poems of "Chai Tou Feng" lead people into the territory of Song Dynasty.

It is just 200 meters away from Lu Xun's former residence. When I arrived in Shaoxing that night, I wanted to ride a bike to watch Shen Garden Night, but found that it was closed during the off-season.

Come again at noon the next day, stroll around the garden, take photos, visit the Lu You Memorial Hall, and listen to the beautiful tour guide's affectionate recitation.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Don’t keep it secret. It’s so difficult, so difficult.

From brilliant colors to dilapidated ruins, from eternal glory to eternal regrets.

Come with longing and leave with melancholy.

The only place in Shen Garden that didn't charge me for admission was Chai Tou Feng, which was the most worthwhile.

Strolling through the pavilion, a famous garden in Jiangnan, it's nice to walk around

Two Poems of Hairpin Phoenix: A Beautiful Love Story



Shen's Garden, covering an area of ​​more than 70 mu and with a history of more than 800 years, is a famous ancient garden in Shaoxing. The east area has the Lu You Memorial Hall; the middle area is the Song Dynasty relics area; the west area is the Shen Garden ruins. The ten scenes of Shen Garden are: Broken Clouds and Sad Songs, Poetic Love, Spring Waves and Startling Wild Goose, Remaining Walls and Regrets, Lonely Crane Weeping, Green Lotus Reflecting the Sun, Willows on the Palace Wall, Plum Blossoms in the Snow, Fragrance of Poetry and Books, and Love on the Magpie Bridge.



Shen's Garden is famous for the poem "Phoenix Hairpin" written by the great poet Lu You on the wall of the garden, which was about his longing for his ex-wife Tang Wan. The Broken Cloud Stone "The broken wall is covered with dust and the broken cloud is a dream" seems to tell the love tragedy of Lu You and Tang Wan. Some people say that this is a place where love is sad, while others say that Shen Garden is also a place where lovers can meet again.



Right behind the Solitary Crane Pavilion are two famous poems, "The Golden Hairpin". Lu You's "The Golden Hairpin": "Red tender hands, yellow wine. The whole city is full of spring colors and willows on the palace walls. The east wind is bad, and the joy is thin. A heart full of sorrow, years of separation. Wrong, wrong, wrong! Spring is the same, but people are thin. Red tears soak the silk. Peach blossoms fall, and the pool pavilion is idle. Although the mountain oath is still there, it is difficult to entrust a brocade letter. No, no, no!"



"The world is cruel and people are mean. The rain sends the evening flowers falling easily. The morning breeze dries up the tears. I want to write down my thoughts, but I can only speak to myself. It's hard, hard, hard!

People have grown apart, today is not yesterday. The sick soul is often like a swing rope. The horn sounds cold, the night is late. Afraid of being questioned, I swallow my tears and pretend to be happy. Hide, hide, hide! "Tang Wan also wrote a famous poem, "The Phoenix with the Hairpin", and not long after, a generation of beauty died of depression.

Shen Garden is very quiet. It is just across the street from Lu Xun's former residence. It is the place where Tang Wan and Lu You fell in love. The small jade condenses the landscape characteristics of Shaoxing, with winding paths and lush greenery. Standing in front of the stone carving of Chai Tou Feng, the heart is filled with sadness and pain. It is suitable for a quiet person to walk and stop

The place where Lu You and Tang Wan wrote their masterpieces, the pain of Chai Tou Feng

Humph, 40 yuan to see a garden with only water and trees, how poor is Shaoxing, everything is charged, and it's so expensive! The poor traveler said that he would never go in! After seeing the ten scenes of Shen Garden in the dozens of introductions of Shen Garden, I recited Lu You's poems. Although Tang Wan's "The Phoenix Hairpin: The World is Thin" is not as smooth and artistic as Lu You's "The Phoenix Hairpin: The Red and Soft Hands", the sadness can't be hidden...

After visiting Lanting, we came here to visit Shen Garden at night, and felt grateful for Lu You's lifelong ambitions as a man, but what people talked about most was his filial piety.

Shen Garden has a history of more than 800 years. Shen Garden, also known as "Shen's Garden", was built in the Southern Song Dynasty by a wealthy businessman named Shen. It was built on a large scale, covering an area of ​​70 acres. The garden has pavilions, bridges, flowing water, shady trees, and Jiangnan scenery. Shen Garden is a national 5A-level scenic spot and the only Song-style garden that has been preserved among the many classical gardens in Shaoxing.

Shenyuan, as a scene, can only be a place for a poet to miss his lover and commemorate love. Patting the railings, looking at the spring flowers and autumn leaves, and appreciating the moonlight in the garden, it is not a home, not a destination, and not suitable as an altar for the soul. Let the ancient costume drama "The Phoenix Hairpin" play on its own. Tourists quietly turn around and only stop in front of the stone tablet for a moment. The love that once filled the garden is now only left with this old stone tablet in an inconspicuous place. The patchwork of handwriting rubbings vaguely resembles it, but where did the bright love of yesterday go? No place to find the song! Perhaps it has been melted by the vicissitudes of time flowing from the cracks in the bricks, and grows in the desolate and mottled moss marks.

Love hurts Shen Garden, hates the heartless Lu Fangweng, and pities Tang Wan for the passing of time. My husband and I had a small quarrel in Shen Garden. It’s called a quarrel, but it’s just me nitpicking, finding faults, and nagging. Someone doesn’t resist or say anything, which makes me even angrier. It’s a pity that men and women have gender differences and it’s hard to think in sync. Shen Garden is a nasty place, never come again.

Free to visit, pretty good! Worth a visit!

Don't go to Shen Garden alone!!! There is nothing to see in it, it is just a garden of a rich man in ancient times, famous because of the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan! It is not this garden! The stone tablet with the poem "衩頭凤" in the garden is just a modern art work...

The garden is not as grand and lavish as the Suzhou Gardens, but it is still small and exquisite. There will be a performance of Shen Garden Night in the evening, which is very good. Remember to buy the pass to save money!

If you stand in front of this wall for a while, you can hear the explanation, which is pretty good.

It's not as good as expected. Maybe most gardens are like that, with rockeries and flowing water. Suzhou's gardens are more distinctive. I came here to see the stone tablet of Chai Tou Feng and the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan. It took about 45 minutes to complete the tour.

As one of the two major tourist attractions in Shaoxing, Shenyuan is a must-visit place. In addition, it is close to Lu Xun's hometown. As long as you plan a trip for more than one day, you will definitely visit here. However, what makes me linger here is not its scenery, but the Lu You Memorial Hall hidden inside. Museum control can't afford it...



In other words, the scenery of Shen Garden is just so-so. People who have not seen many gardens may think that the green trees and grass, the fish and ducks in the pond are so beautiful, etc. In fact, the layout is not very reasonable, and the traces of human beings are very serious. The layout is not dense, but it feels too slow and too complicated. In short, it is a garden rather than a forest. The word "garden" in Shen Garden is indeed worthy of its name. It can only be said that it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes tourists think wrongly. But when it comes to culture, it is much better than famous gardens. The story of Lu You and Tang Wan's hairpin is enough to surpass it. There are free guided tours in the park. As long as you get enough people, you can take a tour. Fortunately, the one who explained it to me was a beautiful woman with a particularly full mood. It was a pleasure to listen to her reading the hairpin. A kind of sad and lingering emotion came to my mind. I am still savoring those four words "Don't, don't, don't", "wrong, wrong, wrong", "hide, hide, hide", and "difficult, difficult, difficult".



In fact, in addition to Chai Tou Feng and Lu You Memorial Hall, Shen Garden also has another historical site worth seeing, one of which is the Six Dynasties Well, an ancient well that has been used for six dynasties. The most attractive thing is the densely packed coins at the bottom of the well... Overall, Shen Garden is worth a visit, and the tourist service is good. Of course, in addition to the daytime, you can also spend 80 yuan to experience the night of Shen Garden at night. I don’t know what form it is, but I think the price should be different.



Finally, I'll give you a blessing card from Leehom Wang (Hong) that I met by chance :)

Yeah! Shen Garden is not really big, but if you want to experience the Jiangnan gardens, you can still go there! :)

If you don't know Lu You and are not interested in the sad love story, there is no need to go to Shen Garden. Because from the perspective of a private garden, Shen Garden does not have much to attract attention. It was just that eight hundred years ago, a scene that made people feel sad was staged here: Lu You and his ex-wife Tang Wan, who was forced to divorce, met here, and the longing and helplessness were passed down and immortalized by each of them in a poem "Chai Tou Feng". Therefore, going to Shen Garden is more like paying tribute than sightseeing. If you have a similar plot or mood, you can stand in front of the wall with Lu You's poems and look at your own reflection.

This is a place I have always wanted to visit since I memorized Lu You and Tang Wan's "The Phoenix with the Hairpin" in high school. I went to Shaoxing more than ten times before I came to visit Shen Garden. I felt both regret and satisfaction.

Lu You and Dong Xiaowan, feel the celebrity love~

The evening party performance of Shen Garden, "Shen Garden Love", intoxicated by the flowers, the moon, the lights and the aroma of wine, allows you to experience the tragic love story of the patriotic poet Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty and his cousin Tang Wan.

As I get older, I seem to have fewer emotions about these love stories of the ancients. For me, perhaps I just come here to listen to a little song, because Yue Opera is a bit similar to the Xi Opera in my hometown, which I often heard when I was a child and it feels very familiar.
