Suzhou City Records records that Suzhou Park "is the first modern park in Suzhou, commonly known as the Grand Park." The textual research on the origin of the park can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period. Originally the site of Wuzicheng in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the Taishou Department in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was renovated and the park was "accessible in spring". At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was the Zhang Shicheng Palace, which was later burned down and then turned into a wasteland called the Imperial Waste Base. Looking through the map of Suzhou in the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu (1908), we can see that there are ponds to the south of steep lanes and the land is sparse. At that time, the west wind was spreading eastward, and it was suggested to build a "citizen park" here. In the future, an indispensable "idle land" in Suzhou citizens' life began to attract the attention of enlightened gentry. After the May 4th Movement, people from all walks of life proposed to build a park with complete scientific, cultural and entertainment facilities such as a library, a cultural relic showroom, an auditorium and a music kiosk. 1920, Xi Mingxi, a giant businessman from Jiangyin who came to Shanghai specially, donated 50,000 silver dollars to start the preparatory work. First, students from the Civil Engineering Department of Suzhou Institute of Technology surveyed the floor plan, and then submitted it to Josseaume, a French gardener of Shanghai Gongdong Bureau, for planning and design. At the end of July that year, a castle-like two-story library (Wuxian Library) was built in the south of the lotus pond in the middle of the park. There is a "Dongzhai" teahouse on the east side of the museum, and a west pavilion is built in the southwest corner. In the southeast of the park, the pool is named "Moon", and the pool is covered with wisteria and more than 4,000 trees are planted. In the 1920s, the classical gardens inside and outside the city were rarely opened, and the park was praised by the citizens as the only quiet place in the city.
