The Si Jiao Hall in Guilin ParkThe name of Si Jiao Hall originates from the teachings of 'wen, xing, zhong, xin' in Confucius's Analects. Located at the center of the park, the hall is a four-sided architectural style, also known as the 'Four-sided Hall'. It covers an area of about 250 square meters, faces south with five bays, and is a brick-wood structure in the shape of a cross. Around the Si Jiao Hall, the doors, windows, beams, columns, and eaves are carved with historical story reliefs of 'wen, xing, zhong, xin', showcasing superb craftsmanship and exquisite patterns. Three large copper lamps hang in the center of the hall. The hall is surrounded by a corridor over 2 meters wide, making the entire building quite magnificent. This place was also where Huang Jinrong entertained distinguished guests, discussed matters, and enjoyed performances in a large living room. 'Wen, xing, zhong, xin' comes from Confucius's Analects. The original text is: 'The Master taught in four ways: wen, xing, zhong, xin.' This means that Confucius educated his students in four aspects. Wen: Literature, ancient books, etc. It implies that students should study extensively to become cultured and genuinely knowledgeable individuals. Xing: Refers to moral conduct and also to the content of social practice, requiring students to be moral and proactive. Zhong: To exhaust one's abilities is called loyalty, meaning that students should be loyal to their country and family. Xin: To be factual is called trustworthiness. It means being honest, as only then can one be trusted.JamesAnderson.28

Shanghai CITYWALK | Walk, Guilin ParkWalk. Guilin Park. It is said that it was originally the private residence of Huang Jinrong. Indeed, its terrain and design are all residential constructions. There are corner pavilions, corridors, round doors, goose soft stone paths, bamboo forests, rockeries, etc. It has a very classical garden style, but one of the buildings, Yi Pavilion, has a completely different style. (A clear Western style) The use of color is also very eye-catching among a group of ancient-style buildings. One of my favorites is the Prajna Boat. Its shape is like a boat, surrounded by waterways. It's very interesting. Because it is a residence, it is more winding and narrow compared to general parks. At first I thought I could finish walking quickly, but I didn't expect to go around and around. During the period, I met people taking wedding photos, Hanfu enthusiasts, and grandpa playing the saxophone. There is also a tea room in the park where you can drink tea and watch fish. 🕙Business hours: The reception time of this park is particularly long: 5:00-19:30atticusrainier88
