Ladies and gentlemen
hello everyone! Next, I will visit yudalong garden, a large ecological parkwith the theme of appreciating ancient trees. The name of yudalong garden meansrich, developed and prosperous. It contains the sincere and good wishes of thebuilders to all guests and friends who come to visit the park. I believe thatafter visiting the garden, you will be rich, developed and prosperous.
Yudalong garden was invested and built by Mr. Zhang song, an honorarycitizen of Zengcheng City and a compatriot of Hong Kong. It was started inOctober 1996 and took more than two years to complete. With the theme ofecological appreciation of ancient trees, the garden integrates science,knowledge and education to create a big urban garden. The whole garden covers anarea of 12000 mu, about 800000 square meters. The designer takes the idea of"water turtle, Ruyi and auspicious", uses turtle shaped hills surrounded bywater on three sides, according to the natural terrain, along the mountain andwater with the inner and outer ring path, to build the pattern of "waterturtle". In Chinese traditional culture, dragon, Phoenix, Lin and turtle arecollectively called "four spirits". The first three are only legendary animals.Today, only "turtle" is the real God and auspicious animal. The tortoise's slowmovement and shrinking head in the face of the enemy is the natural way ofTaoist Laozi's "living in a soft place", which contains the broad connotation oftraditional Chinese philosophy and culture. The garden collects all kinds ofancient trees from all over the country and parts of foreign countries, such asthree thousand year old Podocarpus and Osmanthus fragrans, five hundred year oldBaila, three hundred year old Hunan camellia, and some foreign rare varieties,such as Java kapok, Japanese evening cherry, etc. the total age of the ancienttrees in the garden is more than 100000 years. At the same time, the gardenskillfully planted flowers, such as Luoyang peony, all kinds of roses, tulips,azaleas, orchids There are more than 400000 pots of flowers. And in theluxuriant flowers and trees in the scattered, ingenious placement of differentshapes, wonderful stone, and engraved on the stone meaningful thinking of thetext of poetry, after viewing, make you endless aftertaste.
OK, now let's enter the garden and follow the path of the sightseeing busto enjoy the charming landscape of yudalong garden
[Fengming terrace]
Now the first thing we see is the first scenic spot of the garden,"Fengming terrace". This is a small hill built by hand, and it is also the headof the whole "water turtle". On the platform of the hill, there are four fineleaved banyan trees with luxuriant branches and leaves. The leaf covers of thefour trees are complementary to each other. The shape of the four trees is likea phoenix with its head facing south and its wings flying high to welcome theguests from all directions. Please listen carefully. Behind the hill comes thesound of the waterfall, which is like the sound of the Golden Phoenix.Therefore, it is named "fengmingtai". On both sides of fengmingtai, three groupsof banyan trees are planted, including Golden banyan, fine leaf banyan, flowerleaf banyan and flower leaf chuiya banyan, forming two vivid green long dragons,which are called "shuanglongbi". The two scenes echo each other, forming themeaning of "dragon and Phoenix presenting auspiciousness".
In front of fengmingtai is a large-scale indoor square, love square, whichlooks like a flying seagull. It can accommodate 500 people to watch variousperformances at the same time, and has tea house, craft hall and other specialtystores.

[ancient pagoda tree facing the wind]
With the car, we came to the "locust forest". In front of us on the right,I believe you've noticed a big tree supported by big Bluestone. It's a Sophoralongclaw tree that has been transplanted back from Hangzhou for more than 200years and is known as "the first Sophora in the south of the Yangtze River".Because its branches and leaves grow like dragon claws, it is named "Robiniapseudoacacia". And next to the locust trees also have their owncharacteristics.
Close to the south of huaishulin, there is a peacock made of red grass andgreen grass, which is vividly displayed in front of you. On the north side isthe "green bamboo stream", which is mainly planted with bamboo, and has a halfhill Pavilion and waterfall. It is a good place to avoid summer and relievesummer heat.

In addition to litchitrees, there are more than ten varieties of rhododendrons on the mountain, woveninto different patterns. In March, the flowers are blooming all over the ground,which is very brilliant and unforgettable. At the foot of litchi mountain, thereare two air rooted banyan trees. Their fibrous roots have been honed for years,and they have grown into tree trunks. They are more than 300 years old. Besidethem, there is a high mountain banyan tree, which is famous for its big age,thick trunk and beautiful shape. The lakeside on the other side of litchimountain is the fishing area.

[crape myrtle array]
Now we come to the garden of a scenic spot "crape myrtle array" - crapemyrtle garden. Crape myrtle blooms from June to October, and the floweringperiod is more than 100 days, so it is also known as "hundred day red". Inaddition, it also has a nickname "itch tree", so the tree is ticklish. If youscratch the trunk, it will cause slight shaking of the tree top. The crapemyrtle here is over 50 years old. The idea of the whole crape myrtle garden isvery unique, with crape myrtle flowers tied into a variety of flower vases andgateways scattered among them.

Now we end our car tour and hike to Guishan, the main scenic spot ofyudalong garden.
[Guishan victory overview]
Guishan is well designed. The whole figure is divided into three rings andfour steps. The ring is round and the terrace is straight. The main road is duesouth, the other three roads are due north, due east and due west. There are 18sets in the first two rings, each with nine levels, totally 162 levels; thereare six sets in the last ring, each with three levels, and the other with threelevels, totally 183 levels.
The four-way climbing steps are planted with different trees and havedifferent meanings. South Avenue, planted with luohansong, "life Avenue,kangqizhuang", step up and down, with the feeling of being in Nanjing ZhongshanMausoleum or Paris Sacred Heart Church stone steps, is a heroic success. WesternAvenue planting rich flower crape myrtle, it is "a hundred days of rich redflowers.". As the saying goes: "no one is good for a hundred days, no flower isred for a hundred days.". Lagerstroemia indica blooms for more than 100 days.From July to October, it is charming and red. Dongfang Avenue "harmonizes witheach other and adds love". The left and right stems of the Plumeria help eachother and form a relationship, which is the way of love. Osmanthus fragrans andLaurus fragrans are planted on both sides of the North Avenue, and the fragranceis intoxicating, especially around the Mid Autumn Festival, when the Osmanthusfragrans float away and the slope level is full of tourists. Down the slope isthe rainbow bridge, and success comes after setbacks, which is exactly "peoplewith fragrance of flowers see the rainbow when they are drunk".
In a word, for career, wealth and study, we should go to the South stage(luohansong Road); for love, happiness and children, we should go to the eaststage (Plumeria Road); for health and longevity, we should go to the North stage(Guihua Road); for peace and family, we should go to the west stage (ZiweiRoad). When you get to the temple of heaven, you make a wish in the face of thewish tree, and revolve around the wish tree - "three thousand year old Luohanancient pine" clockwise for three times. In this way, your wish will come trueand get twice the result with half the effort.
[turtle comes out of water]
Someone came into yudalong garden and saw that the garden was made up ofturtles. The central part of the garden was called Guishan. The starting pointof "the road of life" was engraved with Cao Cao's poem "although turtles livelong, there is still time to compete.". The serpent rides on the fog and turnsto dust. The old man is ambitious. In his old age, the martyrs were full ofambition. The period of surplus and contraction is not only in the sky. A happylife will last forever. Fortunately, I sing for my ambition. "A littlesuspicious and a little surprised.
Dragon, Phoenix, turtle and Lin are collectively called "four spirits".Dragon, Phoenix and Lin are all animals in ancient legends, but they havedisappeared today. The tortoise is the only divine animal. The turtle out of thewater is especially dynamic. The tortoise's slow movement and shrinking head inthe face of the enemy is the natural road for Laozi to live in. Yudalong flauntsChinese culture, and Laozi's philosophy is the representative of Chineseculture.
Feng Shui Master said: "Luo Fu, a thousand li, dragon, the essence of theworld, the regiment is a gas, the pulse is in the turtle mountain." In addition,"five mountains, five directions and Five Dynasties, both are strong in shape.".Even if you don't know geomantic omen, standing on the top of Guishan mountainand looking to the north, the mountains in the distance are surrounded byarches, which are divided into seven mountains. Among them, there are threelinked "three platforms" and "emperor's seat" with round arches like a canopy.The shape of the mountain is really extraordinary. Surrounded by mountains andsurrounded by several mountains like lotus, everyone knows that it is a goodplace.
You come to yudalong garden and stand on the top of the turtle mountain tofeel the aura of the turtle. When you go back to the city, you're moreinspired.
[life road]
The design of yudalong garden is based on the concept of "water turtle"according to the natural appearance. The original solitary mountain is theturtle's body, surrounded by water on three sides, and the turtle's head is madeof soil. The turtle's tail is an arch bridge, with four halls in spring, summer,autumn and winter, forming the turtle's four feet. Around the turtle, there aretwo scenic paths, namely, baishujing, baihualang, baihualu and baishulu. Outsidethe garden is a winding mountain with ups and downs.
Let's just talk about the central axis of the garden. The master of thegarden named "the road of life", that is, "the road to success". The startingpoint of life should have the positive spirit of Cao Cao. Therefore, the poem"Gui although Shou" written by Cao Cao encourages people to have a positive andenterprising life. Road upward, a total of 162, Jialu planted Luohan old pine.The original name of the garden is "Luohan villa", and a lot of Luohan pines areplanted. It turns out that the fruit of Podocarpus arvensis is as small asbeans. It turns green first, then red, and then purple black. It has strongvitality and looks like a sitting Podocarpus arvensis, so it is calledPodocarpus arvensis. The eighteen trees that stick to the road are huge andvigorous. They are carved into eighteen Arhats according to their appearance,and the statues are carved under them to accompany each other. There are "Luohanterrace in front of Luofu Mountain, Luohan pine on Luohan terrace, Luohan pineunder Luohan statue". "I'm very proud of you.
In a positive life, we should always review ourselves. "Honesty", "respect"and "perseverance" are personal self requirements. The success of young peoplewithout ancestral shadow depends on "sincerity, respect and perseverance". Inshort, they are sincere to people and things, dedicated and happy to work, notsurprised in case of change, wrong in case of death, resolute and resolute. Dearfriends, don't look down on these three words. They seem simple, but they arethe secret of success. On the other hand, if you want to achieve success, youneed to be aware in life. How can we know in advance? The ancient method isastrology, divination, so the top of the mountain built "lucky heaven", letpeople sincerely pray to the sky, ask the sky to hang like. This is the realm ofidealism. Materialistic methods pay attention to practice, so-called learningfrom the past. "Infer the future from past experience and observe the presentfrom future situation. "It's also the way to succeed. A person can be prescient,natural "understanding of human affairs, see through the context.". "There is noway to go. We often rely on "Empathy" when we do things. The so-called heart toheart relationship lies in silence. In doing things and dealing with the worldin this way, we should "judge the time and size up the situation", get "time"and "position", and be successful.
Fortunately, in the middle of the temple of heaven, a 3000 year oldPodocarpus arvensis was planted. It was born earlier than Confucius, forty isnot confused, three thousand is more transparent, so the tree is psychic. Itsilently teaches us not to use words or words, but to rely on the feeling of thesoul.
Around the temple of fortune, the central axis turns to downhill road. Justlike the ups and downs of life, when it comes to a sharp turn, when youencounter disappointments, you should have a choice. If you snatch things in afire, you can't take them all. If you linger, people will turn into coke. Whenfrustrated, we should follow Mao Zedong's spirit: "the snow is pressing, thewinter clouds are flying, and the flowers are withering. The sky is rolling, thecold current is fast, and the earth is slightly warm. Only heroes drive tigersand leopards, and no heroes are afraid of bears. Plum blossoms are happy withthe snow, and it's not surprising that they freeze to death. "We should face thereality and be determined. It's like the plum blossom proud of frost and snowand the hero driving away tigers and leopards.
It's the lowest point of life to go through a bad situation and go downhillto a flat road. It's like the "bottom" and the eve of "rebound". When you arefrustrated, you should look at the world coldly. Each of the two big rocks has around hole. It seems that you are looking at things. What are you looking at?"To manage mountains and water, to manage flowers and grass, no matter what theworld is; to see mountains and water, to see flowers and grass, to see the worldwith a smile.
