Famous garden exploration🔍~"The charm of the world and the harmony of history"
The sky is clean and sandy. Autumn Thoughts: "Withered vines and old trees have dim crows, small bridges and flowing water are home to people, westerly winds and thin horses are on the ancient roads, and heartbroken people are at the end of the world."

Wen Zhengming was good at using "water💧" as the theme and using "planting" as an auxiliary to create a landscape artistic conception. This pastoral has almost 2/3 The area is dominated by water!
Origin of the name: It is taken from the Jin Dynasty's "Xianju Fu" "Fishing the garden with vegetables for day and night meals, this is also the way for a clumsy person to do politics."
