Description

The Humble Administrator’s Garden is located in the northeast corner of Suzhou City. As of 2014, it is still the largest classical garden in Suzhou, covering an area of 78 acres. The whole park is centered on water, surrounded by mountains and rivers, exquisite halls and pavilions, luxuriant flowers and trees, with strong characteristics of Jiangnan water town.

留园位于苏州市阊门外,苏州四大古名园(沧浪亭、拙政园、狮子林和留园)之一。明朝中期(约公元1460年)开始建筑,最初属当时官僚徐时泰所有。
清嘉庆五年(公元1800年)在明徐时泰东园旧址上筑寒碧山庄,因园主姓刘,又称“刘园”。
清光绪初年(公元1880年),留园归大官僚盛旭人所有。他以为留园虽在苏州城外,但未受历次兵燹之祸,园中建筑花木幸运地“留”下来了;再说“留”与“刘”同音,故称为“留园”。
拙政园既是苏州四大名园(沧浪亭、狮子林、拙政园、留园)之一,也是全国四大名园(北京颐和园、承德避暑山庄、苏州拙政园和留园)之一。
拙政园坐落在江苏省苏州市娄门内,初为唐代诗人陆龟蒙的住宅,元时为大宏寺。明正德年间(公元1506年~1521年),御史王献臣不满权贵弄权,辞职回乡,买下寺产,改建成此园。
王献臣以晋代潘岳自比。潘岳的《闲居赋》中有这样一段文字:“庶浮云之志,筑室种树,逍遥自得,池沼足以渔钓,春税足以代耕,灌园鬻蔬,以供朝夕之膳,牧羊酤酩,以立矣伏腊之费,孝乎唯孝,友于兄弟,此亦拙者之为政也。”王献臣取其中“拙政”二字为园名,借以发泄胸中之郁愤。
他在《拙政园图咏跋》中曾说:“余自筮仕抵今,余四十年,同时之人或起家至八坐,登三事,而吾仅以一郡倅老退林下,其为政殆有拙于岳者,园所以识也。”申明了“拙政园”名称的寓意。
王献臣死后,其子在赌博中,一夜之间便将拙政园输掉了。后来,拙政园曾几易其主。清乾隆时(公元1744年),拙政园为蒋诵先所有,并大加修葺,改名为“复园”。1860年-1864年,太平天国忠王李秀成攻入苏州,拙政园曾为忠王府建筑的范围。
