The Linglong Waterside Pavilion, one of the main buildings in the garden, is where the garden owner recites poetry, drinks wine, and plays with the moon. The waterside pavilion is octagonal, supported by eight eaves and four golden pillars, surrounded by water on all sides, and all eight sides are bright and fine flower lattice windows, making the entire building appear delicate and transparent.
Through the windows of the waterside pavilion, you can enjoy the eight-sided scenery: the osmanthus welcomes the rising sun, the willow green tower, the winter plum blossoms, the stone forest is close at hand, the rainbow bridge reflects the clear light, lying on the gourd to listen to the sound of the piano, the fruit altar orchid secluded path, the peacock opens the screen. During the day, open the doors and windows, the scenic rocks scattered around the outside and the flowers under the eaves, in various poses; on moonlit nights, the inside is dark and the outside is bright, the long shadows of the bamboo, beautiful.
The golden pillar couplets in the pavilion: 'Every time I think of the famous mountains I have passed, I still see the strange rocks and clouds in my eyes, and I talk about the past sea, and I still see the bright moonlight in the quiet garden, which is enough to refresh my mind.' It was written by the garden owner himself, expressing the garden owner's exquisite thoughts on building the waterside pavilion, reviewing his own travels through famous mountains and rivers, the beautiful scenery of the gardens in Beijing and Suzhou is still in sight, and now after all the vicissitudes, quietly facing the garden scenery, it is enough to refresh the mind.
The south pillar couplet of the Linglong Waterside Pavilion: 'The rain knocks on the flowers and the breeze passes the willows, the sunny walk turns the trees and the morning air divides the forest.' It tells the landscape and interest of the garden. The west pillar couplet: 'Chrysanthemum dregs are brewed into wine, and the guests are urged to drink unlimited wine, and the fragrance of the flowers is smelled to the machine man who has not forgotten the flowers.' The garden owner imitates the 'Scent of Osmanthus Fragrans' in the Liu Garden in Suzhou. The north pillar couplet: 'Walking in the clouds and calling for lights to listen to the rain, singing along the moon and calling for wine to prolong the autumn.' It describes various dynamics of people in the garden.
