Historical restoration vaguely
Ma Garden is actually on the Ma family of the whole house and garden
collectively, with a total area of nearly 8,000 square meters, of
which the garden part of 4,500 square meters (close to 7 acres), be
regarded as medium-sized garden.
Interspersed with roundabout space layout
Garden
is located in the west of the house, the East has two cross four
courtyard, for the Ma family residence, the pattern of compact and
complete; and then the East for a theater, four hooks, for singing, do
celebration purposes. Residential and theater where the courtyard is also dotted with some rocks and flowers, and the garden part of the echo.
Horse garden landscape vaguely
Garden
entrance door west, but also the main entrance of the whole house, the
door on the original "fair and honest" plaque, for the Republic of China
when Wang Huaiqing, Tian De Shan and other celebrities jointly
presented. The west gate of the five porter, east of the account, and then the
East layout of the temple and the Treasury and other rooms, forming a
continuous more than 30 North Room.
Garden
layout with the terrain to start, the shape is not structured, through
the rockery and the verandah separated into six or seven different sizes
of the courtyard. Getting
started see a group of peaks, like a screen, blocking the main peak
behind the landscape, together with the North Room constitute a similar
to the back room of the space. Turn
to the east, facing the wall to open four door, can pass house, but
usually not open, generally from the south of the moon door into the
residential part of the well. And then south through the other screen can enter the main courtyard of the garden.
Stone south of a large rockery to the soil with stone, the next set of
bluestone, on the lake stone, Qifeng high Jun, become the first climax
of the landscape.
The southern slope of the mountain has a resting hilltop hall, the
west slope of the mountain has a small God of Wealth Temple, sitting
west east, high only 1 meter, which is dedicated to the God of Wealth
Marshal Zhao Gong, usually incense endless.
South slope of the southwest corner of the hall to take out a veranda,
leading to the south of a three volumes before the hard mountain
building, the original name of the Church has not test, Ma Jiaping
referred to as the "three volumes."
Here
is Mr. Ma Huitang own bedroom where there are five coasters, the south
of a roll of the West slightly to the two, vacated position for the
platform, usually you can sit here in the sun; the eastern part of the
volume of three is the form of open Xuan , A volume of the north of the Ming Dynasty out of a building, it is very bright and spacious.
This garden is the most unique place, lies in its clever courtyard space division. There
are almost no partitions in the garden, and the rooms are separated by
rockery and verandah, or wide, or deep, or small, in different forms. The overall layout is quite shriveled, seemingly loose, the space without strict feeling.
From
the entrance into the garden began, the route is constantly in the
rockery and porch between the intermittent interspersed, twists and
turns, more step by step effect. Ma Hui Tang I am also the most proud of this, often to the family comment on the mystery lies.
Rockery and garden architecture
Ma home garden rockery, most of them are already abandoned
Yuanmingyuan
transported to the good lake stone and bluestone, especially the lake
stone, there are several sections with Qianlong Yu pen title of the
Jiapin, but after the founding of the country because the unit to build a
country and all the relocation, and now left only bluestone The
Rock
is the focus of the garden landscape, the whole park originally built
two large rockery, in addition to five or six groups of exquisite Shi
Feng, or Qiao Ran screen, or towering steep, or exquisite chic, or
meandering low Back, or a stone can be boarded, or a hole can be rewarded, the scenery has its own charm.
Under
the old rockery there are two precious cultural relics, one for the
white marble carving "Ma Gu Shangshou", exquisite shape, lifelike; two
wood fossils, is a natural art treasures. In the Republic of China Wu Peifu had lived in the garden. "Cultural Revolution" when the Magu was destroyed, leaving only half of the base, wood fossils are also unknown.
The garden architecture also has its own characteristics. The
two main hall in the garden are in the form of two volumes and three
rolls, although not tall, but the depth is very wide, the room can be
used for flexible partition, but also for the late Qing Dynasty
landscape architecture since the common model. The original building with a plaque and pillow couplets, all from the
calligraphy famous handwriting, but unfortunately have no deposit.
Another
special place of the Ma Garden is that the park is not a subsidiary of
the tour of the land, but the owner's main living place, the building
has a specific function, not a simple landscape Xuanxie, and special set There are God of Wealth Temple and the South study, to worship the
Marshal Zhao Gong and Luban, showing the characteristics of the Ma
family of the industry.
The
veranda in the garden is very long, with a staircase rail, climbing
around the house, ups and downs, haunt the interspersed, and the
transition with the residential part of the natural. At the same time, all the roads in the park are used with the same as
the Summer Palace Road, on both sides of the laying of stones, the
central part of the diamond-shaped brick floor.
Lush flowers and mountains
The
original garden of the flowers are also very lush, the entry can see a
Catalpa tree, tall and lush, this tree is very rare in Beijing; the park
has two old Huai, need several people together, in addition to jujube, Apricot, ginkgo, cypress, persimmon tree, walnut tree and so on.
According
to Mr. Ma Xuchu memories, flowers are West House Begonia and cloves,
etc., and two volumes and three volumes before the hall are equipped
with peony pond, planted more than Jiapin. In the south of the theater also has two large "flower hole", that is, flowers, for winter cultivation of flowers. The current Catalpa tree and Xi Yin Xuan West of the old Huai surviving, flowers are lost.
In
addition to plants, the garden also raised a lot of birds and goldfish,
birds in the gallery under the cage singing, fish in the pool between
the leaves of the shuttle, adding a lot of angry. More interesting is the park also had raised four deer, swim between the trees, quite rustic.
