Baoding Ancient Lotus Pond was founded in 1227 (Jin Zhengda four years), formerly known as "Xiangxue Garden". Because the lotus in the pool is lush, it is called the ancient lotus pond. Covering an area of 24,000 square meters, Gulianchi is one of the top ten historical gardens in China, and 200 1 was named as a national key cultural relic protection unit.
The ancient lotus pond was founded by Mongolian military general Zhang Rou. It was still a private garden in Yuan Dynasty, and became a magistrate in Ming Dynasty. After it was turned into a palace in the Qing Dynasty, it was further expanded and built 12 lotus ponds, covering an area of 100 mu, which won the reputation of "Penglai City". During the Yongzheng period, Li Wei, governor of Zhili, founded an academy in the hospital. 1904 was changed to a school hall, and 19 12 was changed to a primary school hall. 1936, Song presided over Hebei government affairs, restored Lianchi Academy, and hired Gao Buting as a teacher. The next year, due to the Lugouqiao Incident, Lianchi Academy went through a glorious history.
Most of the existing buildings in Gulian Huachi are in Qing Dynasty. Because of the integration of different gardening arts in southern and northern China, the northern garden has become a model of ancient gardens in China. The main existing buildings are Jinzhuo Pavilion, Shui Xin Pavilion, Shuidong Building, Zaoyong Pavilion, Gentleman Longevity Pavilion, Qinxiang Pavilion, Salan Pavilion and Gaofenxuan, all of which are built around the pool. Zhili Library and Guanlan Pavilion are not as good as pavilions. This pond accounts for one third of the total area. Every summer, Dong Tang hibiscus is like a face, pink and beautiful; The lotus in Xitang is like snow, elegant and fresh.
The ancient lotus pond ranks among the top ten historical gardens in China, not only because of its long history of more than 700 years and exquisite architectural art, but also because of its long history and profound cultural connotation.
