Peony Pavilion is one of the top ten scenic spots in the back garden of Nan 'an House in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which was famous in the south of the Yangtze River at that time. Built before the Ming dynasty, it has experienced vicissitudes, prosperity and abolition, and velvet trimming for six times. 1929 was burned in the war. 1987, Ten Scenes of Ya Houyuan in Nan 'an were rebuilt in the former site of Dongshan Park in the county, and named "Peony Pavilion Park". The peony pavilion was started in 1995 and completed in 1996. The Peony Pavilion inscribed by Cao Yu hangs on the front of the pavilion, and the Peony Pavilion inscribed by Sha Menghai hangs on the north. On the inner and outer columns, there is an inscription inscribed by Geng Xu of Qiantang, "The pen shines in Linchuan, and the vernal equinox is beautiful."
The simple octagonal pavilion with double eaves in the center of the park is the Peony Pavilion. The Peony Pavilion was written by Cao Yu. This pavilion is a place where people watch peony flowers in ancient gardens. The pavilion is an octagonal double-eaves building. There are exquisite "Asian-style" lattice windows on the upper floor and eight columns inside and outside on the bottom floor. The whole building looks exquisite and rigorous, with high artistic value. However, it is not only the architectural art that makes Peony Pavilion famous in the world, but also the Peony Pavilion written by Tang Xianzu. It is precisely because "the name of the museum is written in words, and the museum is spread in words" that the peony pavilion and the peony pavilion drama can be widely circulated. What you see now is the new Peony Pavilion, which was started on 1995 and completed on 1997 1 month. Cao Yu and Guan Shanyue wrote inscriptions for the completion of The Peony Pavilion, such as "Mo Dao's song is in the sky, and Haruka hears it everywhere" and "I wish the Peony Pavilion a new life".
The Peony Pavilion tells the story of Du Liniang, the daughter of Du Bao, the prefect of Nan 'an, who was imprisoned in the boudoir by her parents for a long time in the early Southern Song Dynasty. One day, she came to the back garden for a spring outing under the teasing of the maid Chunxiang. The beautiful natural scenery aroused Du Liniang's yearning for beautiful love. Back in the boudoir, she fell asleep. In her dream, she met a young man with a willow branch in his hand and dragged her to meet under the plum tree next to the peony pavilion in the back garden. After waking up, Li Niang was obsessed with the girl of her dreams, worried about becoming ill, and soon died of injury. Before she died, she painted her face, entrusted Chunxiang to hide beside the rocks in Taihu Lake in the garden, and asked her father to bury her under the plum tree in Hou Yuan Park. Three years later, Liu Mengmei, a young scholar, passed Lin 'an in the exam. Unfortunately, she fell ill in Nan 'an, was rescued by Chen Liangliang, and temporarily stayed in Taoist Temple for illness. One day, I was wandering around the mansion, and occasionally I found a portrait of Zhang Liniang by the stone near Taihu Lake. I deeply admire seeing Li Niang's ghost. Knowing that she was the young lady who had a tryst in her dream three years ago, she dug a grave and opened a coffin according to the guidance of Du Liniang's ghost, bringing Li Niang back to life, and they got married. But Du Baojian never agreed to their marriage and forced Li Niang to abandon Liu Mengmei. After the emperor made a decision, Du Baocai reluctantly recognized his daughter and son-in-law.

Born in a scholarly family, because no one has been an official for generations, his parents pinned their hopes on him and named him Xianzu. As a teenager, he was influenced by Taoism. At the age of twelve, he studied under Xu and Luo Rufang successively. Their integrity and unyielding behavior influenced him. When I was young, I showed my outstanding talent. At the age of twenty-one, I took the Jiangxi Provincial Examination. Known as one of the eight great masters in the contemporary world, he is famous for writing contemporary essays. Although Tang Xianzu was brilliant and famous, he was not very successful in the examination field. It was not until the eleventh year of Wanli (1583) that he was admitted to the imperial examination. In the 19th year of Wanli (159 1), he wrote a letter "The Book of Imperial Officials", which shocked the ruling and opposition parties, moved the dignitaries, and was banished to Xuwen, Leizhou Peninsula, to do classical history. That's older Yuling taking office. In the 21st year of Wanli (1593), he was transferred to Suichang County, Zhejiang Province. Back to Dayu, I stayed for nearly a month because the water was dry. During this period, I visited Dayu scenic spots, visited celebrities and heard the story of the death of the satrap's daughter in the back garden of Nan 'an House. Later, he created a famous drama "The Revival of Peony Pavilion" with the peony pavilion in the back garden of Nan 'an House as the background. Tang Xianzu claimed: "I have four dreams in my life, and the only one I am proud of is Peony Pavilion, which is also a famous work of Tang.
