According to records, the real name of Taishi Museum is Taishi Museum or Zhang Taiyuan, so Gaiyuan is adjacent to Zhanghua Temple and Zhanghuatai, and it is also called "Lotus Yuan" because of the flourishing lotus in Yuan Dynasty. Later, in memory of Zhang, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Taishi Museum. According to legend, when Zhang returned to his hometown for illness, he led a crowd to dredge the river from Dingjiatai to Taisiyuan, rectified the river from Taisiyuan to Baishuitan, eradicated the floods in this area, and communicated the water transportation between Shashi and Chihu, Changhu, Qianjiang and Mianyang, making Taishiyuan a prosperous port for a time. In memory of Zhang, the villagers renamed it Taishi College.
Taishi Garden is not a landscape lake, but an important waterway connecting the four lakes in Shashi, and it is also the economic lifeline of Shashi. The grain wharf in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China was there. Since ancient times, wooden boats loaded with goods have come in and out here, foreign businessmen have landed here, and pilgrims who worship Buddha in zhanghua Temple have also entered the temple along the waterside path. On the ancient road connecting Taishiyuan and Shashi City, mules, horses, carts, rickshaws, porters and pedestrians poured in. The noise of the city was accompanied by the sound of the morning bells and drums in the temple, and it was noisy from morning till night.
According to legend, the name of Taishi Museum is related to Zhang, who was the main book of Taishi Museum during the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. Physical Geography of Shashi City says: During the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, Laomeiyuan was blind, and Taishiyuan area was often flooded. In the thirty-third year of Jiajing (1554), Zhang, who was on vacation at home, learned about this incident and organized villagers to dredge their eyes and dig ditches to Baishuitan, which eliminated the waterlogging in this area and also communicated the waterways between Shashi and Chihu, Changhu, Qianjiang, Mianyang and even Hankou. Zhang served as a teacher in the DPRK, and he benefited Xiangzi. In memory of him, people call the waters in this area Taishiyuan.
Of course, some people say that this is not the case. Wang Baichuan, a Qing Dynasty man, said in Records of Shashi: "The name of Taishiyuan is wrong today, and the name of Taishiyuan is also false". He thinks the name Yuanyuan has something to do with Zhang Taisi. In fact, it doesn't matter if you call it wrong in the first place. People in Shashi still know their mistakes. A park behind Zhanghua Temple is now called Taishiyuan Park, and a road in front of the temple is called Taishiyuan Road, which shows that people in Shashi are grateful in ancient and modern times, and this is also because of the simple folk customs.
Trees, lotus ponds, bridges-looking forward to the formation of landscape.
Time flies, Taishiyuan washed away the lead in the historical process. Before liberation, it was a waterlogged wasteland and a messy grave. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was dug into a fish pond for a while. Although Taishi College has been renovated and planted with grass and trees, it has become a leisure place for nearby residents, but there are few pavilions, and the layout of trees, lotus ponds and small bridges is patchwork, making it a Suzhou.
Standing by the pond, overlooking Zhanghua Buddha Land, incense fills the air, and the tower of Martyrs Cemetery stands in the distance. It will be a very attractive tourist attraction if it can be planned and restored as a whole.
75-year-old Uncle Qin has been beating Tai Ji Chuan in Taishiyuan Park for eight years. He witnessed the changes here. Once upon a time, there were sunflowers and tulips. At present, after Taishiyuan Park was demolished three years ago, some trees were planted in the open space facing the street. Other open spaces that have been demolished are full of weeds, and they are still like this until now, except for the occasional mowing.
Every summer, the ponds in the park are full of lotus flowers, and all the ponds are lotus-colored. People who enjoy the flowers linger, but the illegal construction by the lake destroys the scenery. At least 65438+ 10,000 residents live around Taishiyuan Park. Every morning and evening, people come to the park to exercise, play and fly kites in an endless stream, which is a good place for citizens to escape the summer. Open-air square dance and ballroom dancing are popular in the evening, and everyone brings their own lamps and stereos to enjoy themselves. If there is a unified shelter here, it will certainly provide convenience for enriching the entertainment life of the citizens. If the planning here is repaired, everyone can enjoy the moon in my path has wound, through a sheltered hollow and watch the fish at the small bridge and flowing water. Isn't that beautiful?
Taishiyuan, waiting for the planning upgrade. There are benches under the tree, the lotus pond reflects the moon, the bridge is picturesque, and reading under the thatched pavilion. The overall picture of the park is very imaginative.
