A thousand birds Pavilion

Qianbiting is located in Yuehe street, east gate, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is one of the houses of Lu Xinyuan, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty. It was named after the collection of nearly a thousand ancient bricks from the Han and Jin Dynasties.

history

Qiangan pavilion was built in 1881. After the pavilion was completed, Yang Xian, a famous scholar, wrote the title. The pavilion is built at the corner of the two walls on the left side of the gate. It is similar to a fan, with overlapping brackets and cornices.

Most of the ancient bricks collected by Lu are from the tombs of Wuxing and Wukang counties. The patterns on the bricks are unique and the handwriting is extraordinary. In particular, many materials about the ancient era, geography, official system and surname are preserved. After detailed textual research, Lu compiled six volumes of brick records of qianguting, four volumes of continuation records, and twenty volumes of interpretation of ancient brick drawings of qianguting. Because the characters on the ancient bricks can "read ancient things and prove different writings", many scholars in Qing Dynasty paid attention to them. Yang Xian, a famous calligrapher, wrote a preface to Lu's "a sequel to the brick of qianliu Pavilion", pointing out its academic research value in history, calligraphy and seal management. The preface says: "the ancient bricks were written in the period of time, and their names were all real traces of the time. If it was not for Shi Cheng's compilation, there would be different rumors. Evidence is to prove that the historical factors of the past dynasties are often false and fallacious because of the brick writing. Is it not the help of reading "It is enough to see the beginning of the division of Zhuan script (the official script is called eight division script for short)

Lu's ancient brick illustrations are based on photographic miniature and ancient seal. The layout is authentic, the textual research is accurate, and the quoted materials are full and accurate. They have a great influence in similar works. Lu's tomb bricks were first stored in "qianxiantang" and then built qianliu Pavilion for collection. Many ancient bricks were lost during the Anti Japanese war. After liberation, Lu's descendants dedicated all the remains to the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, and Huzhou Museum preserved 400 pages of rubbings of these ancient bricks.

There is a small pool in front of the pavilion. A bridge is built on the pool. Taihu Lake is dotted with stones along the pool. It is built along the wall. The stalagmites are uneven and the flowers and trees are scattered. It gives people a sense of simplicity and seclusion. In the courtyard, there is a small square hall, behind which there are three couplets in the building house. On the top of the hall is the "song building", which was originally Lu's book collection place. There are many stone inscriptions on the upper floor, including Wen Tianxiang's ciyoutang and Zhao Mengfu's dujingqiaoxu. In such a small courtyard, there are buildings, halls, bridges, pavilions, mountains and water, which make it big in the small and strange in the flat. Its idea and technique are so ingenious that it can be said that it is a typical study style pavilion garden.
