Changchun Hall

Hunchuntang, which echoes Changguanlou, came to Beijing Zoo today to visit the Changhe Palace of the Royal Family at the end of Qing Dynasty. Of course, you will come to Hunchuntang not far south to take a look. Hunchuntang is located in the southwest of Beijing Zoo, a hundred meters south of Changguan Building. It was built in Qingguangxu in the early 34th year (1908), and is the remains of Leshan Garden during Qing Qianlong period. The word "shang" and "chang" synonymous, the shangchun hall belongs to the traditional Chinese architectural pattern, because its roof structure is connected by three ridges, so it is also called "three rolls", it uses the inner courtyard palace style, gray tube wash top of the mountain, five wide, into the deep three, four-sided corridor, The front porch and the back building, through the hall door, there are 24 columns in the surrounding corridor. Qingguangxu 32 years (1906), in order to open ventilation and revitalize agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce asked to decorate the official land to set up a agricultural test site, the site is located in Leshantang. Qingguangxu 34 (1908) The last Royal Summer Palace Changguan Building in the early Qing Dynasty was built. Cixi and Guangxu took a boat to the Summer Palace to rest in Changguan Building many times. Hunchuntang is a resting place for senior officials. During the Republic of China, the former Qing Dynasty agricultural testing ground was still used as a agricultural testing ground, natural museum, gardening testing ground, agricultural and forestry laboratory. In 1912, Song Jiaoren, the Fengyun figure of the Xinhai Revolution, was invited to be the director of agriculture and forestry of the Beijing government. He lived in this quiet and quiet Hunchun Hall for 9 months. In 1913, Song Jiaoren was assassinated. In 1916, a 2-meter-high "Song Jiaoren Memorial Tower" was built to the north of Hunchun Hall. At present, only the tower is left. In early 1990, Hunchuntang accidentally caught fire, burned all wooden buildings, and then rebuilt, and is now transformed into a clean book bar. Hunchuntang is the same as Changguan Building, a "deep hidden" "Xanadu", which is located at the westernmost end of the zoo, surrounded by rockery and shaded by ancient dragonflies. Tourists with ornamental animals are basically unlikely to come in this direction. Even if the people who are going to visit the monuments are going to take some time to find them. Today, from Changguan Building to the south, first passed the tower of Song Jiaoren Memorial Tower, and then passed the path between the overlapping rockery, before coming to this tree-shaded building next to the surrounding environment, quite some Jiangnan garden landscape characteristics. Around the front of the Hunchun Hall, a small open space in front of the hall, entering the hall, both because of the roof of the Chinese building, the square bricks on the ground, the wooden and tables and chairs, the whole wall bookshelf and have antique style, but also because of the new chandelier and the piano placed in the hall added some Western elements, The century-old building produced the coexistence and integration of Chinese and Western cultures. There is a group of long desk cases in the hall, and equipped with a projection screen, which should be used as a small meeting place. There are also many groups of small square tables. There are various books on the south wall shelf for reading. There is also a catering counter. Drink tea and read in such a historical meaning, sense of age and cultural atmosphere. Presumably very happy. Today there are only two guests in the whole hall. An old gentleman sits by the window and reads, and another lady writes at the table. The hall is very quiet, and there is only the rustling of leaves in the wind outside the hall, which is quite artistic.

The wax plums opened, the dark fragrance floated, and the blue sky was shot, Beermei. The location is just in the southwest gate of the Beijing Zoo and walk all the way. It is near the rockery behind the Hunchuntang. There are several wax plum trees.

Beijing Hunchuntang is located in the southwest of Qing Dynasty Agricultural Testing Field, opposite the ancient monument Changguanlou, a Chinese classical building built in early 1908. The antique building has a plaque on the door of the building. The word read "Chang".

The monuments in the zoo, generally no one has opened. When I go to the zoo, I often pass by.
