    [1] Cheng Hao's Poem "A Journey to the Suburbs"

    ? When the green fields of Fangyuan are wandering freely,

    Spring enters the remote mountains and blue surroundings;

    Xing chaotic red through willow alley,

    Sleepy facing the flowing water and sitting on Moss Rock.

    Mo Cizhan wine is very persuasive,

    Only fear that the wind and flowers will fly away;

    The situation is clear and fine weather,

    May wish to travel and never forget to return.

    Qing Wan hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, but saw Xiu Ran looking at her eagerly.

    Qing Wan gouged out her eyes, and said pleasantly, "It's you! Why are you here?" Then she teased, "Oh, tell me the truth, whose daughter-in-law are you taking out for fun?"

    Xiuran said: "What do you mean by taking someone's wife, I am alone."

    Qing Wan pretended not to believe it and said, "Is it possible? Don't you see, are all the people on the floor taking other people's wives out to play?"

    "How do you know they are bringing someone else's daughter-in-law, not their own wife?"

    "Heh, my wife, is there anyone who is so intimate outside? They don't like to be close at home!"

    "That's true!"

    Seeing a pair of men and women making intimate movements, Qing Wan smiled slightly, and said teasingly: "Cousin, it's been a long time since I kissed. I forgot, should I close my eyes first, or pout first?"

    "Should first look around to see if there is anyone around especially when kissing other people's wives" After finishing speaking, Xiuran untied the horse's reins, jumped into the carriage, and wanted to drive the carriage away.

    "Heyhey" Qing Wan hurriedly stopped her, "What are you doing?"

    "Don't you want to kiss? I'll take you to a place where no one is there!"

    "Youyouyou can just come in the car, why steal my carJi Xu specially left me here to watch"

    "Who stole your car?" Xiu Ran drove away the carriage and said, "I'm taking you to see Azalea."

    "Nothey'll be back soonthey won't find me"

    "It's okay, Ji Xu and the others won't be back until next year."

    "You how do you know?" Qingwan suddenly understood, "Oh so you two have been in collusion for a long time" Qingwan asked worriedly, "Butwill you meetYingying and Youcai?  ah?"

    "No, Ji Xu took them to make 'Qushui Liushang' in Linquan [the current Cherry Garden]; I will take you to Sijiao Pavilion [now Yuyuan Pavilion], where the azaleas are in full bloom now  "

    After a while, the carriage arrived at Zhongshan Island in the southwest of Yuyuantan[1].  This is a long and narrow mountain slope between the two lakes. It is a line of undulating, wide and narrow mountain ridges running through the east and west.  This mountain ridge is a barrier formed by the accumulation of spoils from several excavation and dredging river and lake projects in history.  There are many kinds of plants on the barrier. In early spring, wintersweet, forsythia, winter jasmine, magnolia and other flowers have bloomed successively. Now is the season for azalea to bloom.

    There are not many tourists on this island: one is that it is really not easy to enter the island; the other is that there are so many handsome men and beautiful women to see, who would come to see the flowers!

    Xiuran led Qingwan to play on the grass-covered island mountain to her heart's content. The spring she witnessed had reached the distant mountains, and the surroundings were green.  Taking advantage of her enthusiasm, Qingwan chased the red petals fluttering in the wind, and walked through the alleys with swaying willows Feeling tired, Qingwan sat down on a moss-covered stone by the stream.

    Xiuran also followed.

    He opened the food box, filled it with fine wine, and said, "Come, let's have a toast for our reunion."

    Qing Wan did not respond, but kept staring at the stream in a daze, as if the flowing water could speak.

    "We always get together less and leave more" Xiuran said again, "The weather is clear and bright, so don't refuse this cup in vain."

    "Time is like running water." Qing Wan said to the stream, "When will it end!"

    "All difficult things will disappear in smoke one dayCome on, ma'am, let us drink this cup together and cherish all the good things of today" Xiuran said, and passed the wine glass in his hand.

    Qing Wan turned around angrily, and said angrily: "Who is your wife? Did you marry me?"

    "It's not easy!" Xiuran said with a playful smile, "As long as you go to the south with me, I will definitely welcome you in with eight sedan chairs!"

    Qing Wan said disdainfully: "I have eloped with you, so there is no need to carry a big sedan chair!"

    Xiuran said straightly: "Hey, the sedan chair is still needed. But, cousin, to be honest, when are you going to come with me?"

    "Didn't I tell you, I'll go with you when Mu Yu can leave."

    &nbsp??"Yuyuantan is in the west of the mansion. It is the former pond of Ding's family in the Yuan Dynasty.  accumulate here.

    In the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1773), the famous Xiangshan River Diversion Project excavated the Yuyuantan lake system.  Dredged into a lake to receive water from the newly opened Xiangshan River.  A sluice was also built at the lower mouth to store and discharge the lake water, and to divert the river water from the Sanli River to the moat of Fuchengmen.  Since then, every spring, sandfowl and waterfowl gather here, making the spring full of water and grass more full of vitality.

    At present, Yuyuantan Park has built an AAAA-level scenic spot. The main scenic spots of the park are composed of "Cherry Blossom Falling Valley" scenic spot, cherry garden in the west, diversion lake scenic spot in the north, Zhongshan Island in the south, and Liuchun Garden in the east.  The long mountains and wide waters, the unique environment and the relatively small history of construction in modern times have achieved the wildness of poplar trees on the mountain and weeping willows on the water bank.  ?
