Three treasures of Kunshan

The most famous are the three treasures of Kunshan: Kunshi, Qionghua and bingdilian. There are still many scenic spots in Tinglin park. Tinglin park with new clothes will welcome visitors from all over the world with a new attitude.

Kunshi is produced in Yufeng mountain, or Ma'anshan, Kunshan City. The stone produced in Ma'anshan is unique and unique in the world, so it is called Qiao stone, also known as Linglong stone. Kunshi mining has a history of nearly a thousand years, and has always been regarded as an art appreciation.

Kunshi has many natural orifices. Its color is as white as snow and as yellow as jade. It is crystal clear and has the same shape. Therefore, lovers regard it as a treasure, competing to buy it at a high price. If they get an exquisite product by chance, they will not show it easily. People are also scrambling to buy for fun. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been many records of jade lovers begging for Kunshi by mail.

In the two square pavilions on the east side of Tinglin park at the foot of Ma'anshan mountain, the two largest Kunshi are displayed. In the East pavilions, it is called "spring clouds come out of the hill", while in the West pavilions, it is called "autumn water transverse wave", which is rugged, clear and elegant.

Qionghua is a unique ancient rare flower in China. Qionghua in Tinglin Park of Kunshan is known as one of the "three treasures of Kunshan". Among them, the largest flower tree is the most beautiful one in the world. Every year, the flowers are in full bloom, attracting tens of thousands of Chinese and foreign tourists to watch every day.

The flowering period of Qionghua is from the first bud in the middle of April to the middle of May. It's very beautiful in the flowering period. It's colorful and changeable all the year round. It can be said that white tiger, green dragon, rosefinch and Xuanwu are the colors of the four seasons. It seems that Qionghua really deserves the title of "unparalleled in the world".

The layout of Qionghua in Kunshan is even more unique and innovative. At that time, the people who cultivated it consciously planted Qionghua and Magnolia grandiflora together. According to the ancient poem "Yuhuan and Feiyan were enemies", the Magnolia of Feiyan Yingchun style was compared to Zhao Feiyan, a beautiful woman in Han Dynasty, and the Qionghua with eight flowers and one ring was compared to Yang Yuhuan, a beautiful woman in Tang Dynasty. Two kinds of flowers bloom almost at the same time. In this way, you can not only appreciate the style of famous flowers, but also recall the beauty. That's really ingenious and wonderful!

Bingdilian is one of the places of interest in the late Yuan Dynasty poet Gu aying (also known as Dehui) who called it "the best place in Yushan". It was originally in the East Pavilion of Zhengyi Town, so it is also known as "lotus in the East Pavilion". It is said that Gu aying planted it by hand, with "double calyx and head", "worship Guanyin on all sides" and "Jiupin liantai". There are as many as 13 flower heads in clusters, and "double and pedicel" is the best.

Bingdilian is a rare ornamental plant with small leaves, lotus roots and no lotus pods.

In the 1950s, Dongting bingdilian moved to Tinglin Park in the county seat, and transplanted to Zhuozheng garden in Suzhou and West Lake in Hangzhou. Zhou qianjuan once wrote about it, saying that it was "unique in color and fragrance, different from any flower". Today, the bingdilian in Tinglin park is more prosperous than before. It's really pleasant to see its red appearance, green and fragrant.
