初霁雨后

The grand atmosphere of the courtyard recalls the past events of the Republic of China in different places and at different times. In the original "Governor's Mansion", later in the "City Government", and later in the "Shanxi Merchants Museum", the state of mind is different due to the influence of the current situation. The magnificent building, the exquisite and elegant courtyard, and the bell tower on Meishan are all impressive. Everywhere I go, I will sigh with emotion: "It's very good, I really want to work here!" The shape of the courtyard is roughly symmetrical about the axis The asymmetrical part on the east side of the building is the courtyard such as the canteen. The entire courtyard and buildings of the Shanxi Merchants Museum are in the style of the Republic of China, simple and neat with a tough feeling. There are exhibitions in the building, which are related exhibits during Taiyuan’s anti-Japanese period. The soldiers and civilians who are not afraid of hardships and resisting foreign enemies are admirable. The old and cold "iron lump" weapons remind future generations to never forget the hard-won peace and beautiful life. out of struggle. It is a scenic spot worth visiting. It is free to make an appointment in advance. Thanks to the government for opening up so that ordinary people can come in and visit.

Yan Xishan once lived here, and it is said that the West Garden is somewhat similar to the West Garden in his hometown. The scenery of the West Garden has the style and characteristics of the Jiangnan water town garden. The design has rockeries, lakes, pavilions and promenades, which is very unique.

In addition to visiting the development history of Shanxi Merchants, the most worthwhile thing to see is the West Garden. The West Garden has rockery, a lake, a pavilion, and a gallery. It is very beautiful. Especially in spring, there are many kinds of flowers blooming. The scenery here is like the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, which is very good.

I stumbled across a scenic spot when passing by. After the tour, I really learned a lot about the history and culture of the Shanxi merchants who made great contributions to the Chinese economy in history. It is a place worth visiting. The West Garden in the garden has a beautiful environment, and there are many couplets of famous people.
