XianQujiangRiver, as an aggregation of Chinese ancient garden and architecture art, is called one of the pioneers of Chinese classical gardens. In Qin Dynasty, the Royal "forbidden garden" -Yi Chun Garden and the well-known RestingGarden-Yi Chun Xia Garden were built here. Later in Sui Dynasty, Da Xing City was built against QujiangRiver. However, the Emperor of Sui Wendi was suspicious, believing in geomantic omen. Da Xing City's south-east part was high while the north-west part was low, with the good luck inclining to the south-east part according to Chinese traditional concept. The bedchamber located in the middle of north side whose topography was never beyond south-east, some suggested to break such situation by the method of "expelling evil spirits", for example, that is, to dig the Qujiang into a deep pond, isolated from the wall and circled into the Royal "Forbidden Garden" for the entertainment of the emperors. Thus "the Imperial Spirit"could be protected. Fortunately, Qujiang has the natural type of circulating, with which it could become a picturesque place by a bit trim.Kaihuang 3rd year (AD 583), Emperor Sui Wen formally moved into the new capital.Emperor Sui Wen disliked the word"Qu", regarding it un-auspicious, and commanded Gao Ying (the Pre Minister to Sui Wen) changed the name. One night, something jumped into Gao Ying' mind that the lotus flowers blossoming in the Qujiang pond were extremely colorful, which had an elegant name "Fu Rong", so planned to name Qujiang as " Fu Rong Park". After the reconstruction in early Sui Dynasty, Qujiang turned up again in the historical stage as the royal garden with a new name "Fu Rong Park". Furthermore, Qujiang, standing adjacent to the capital, Da Xing City, with its low part flowing into the city, was one of the water origins for the lanes in Southeastern part.
During Emperor Sui Yang's govern, Huang Gun carved various water features in the Qujiang pond, on the sides of which the emperor and his officials enjoyed the poems while drinking, introducing into the royal gardens the stories of ancient literators' drinking wine and writing poems in the Dynasties of Wei, Jin and Southern & Northern, gradually enduing Qujiang with the spirit of humanism, establishing a basis for the forming and development of Qujiang Culture of Tang Dynasty. Tang Dynasty enlarged QujiangPark's construction dimensions and cultural connotation on the root of that in Sui Dynasty. In addition to repairing the ZiyunMansion, Caixia Pavilion, Liang Hall and PenglaiMountain, Tang also excavated large irrigation system-Huangqu, to broaden the water surface of Fu Rong Pond and Qujiang Pond, making it a famed location of sightseeing and touring for the imperial kinsmen, monks and ordinary people. The much-told tales in Chinese ancient history such as "Drinking and Writing Poems Beside Qujiang", "Banquet in Xing Yuan Garden" "Autographing on Yan Pagoda" and "Enjoyable Climbing" etc. all took place here. Qujiang's nature changed a lot in Tang and became the only public park in the Capital, ChanganCity, assembling Tang's culture, reaching the peak of its history, and as a symbolic region of ChanganCity, it played the strongest tone of Chinese culture. "Thousand doors of the palaces locked, the willow and pope green for whom?" Following the "Golden years of Zhenguan" steered by Emperor Taizong of Tang, during the years of Gaozong and Ruizong, a pretty huge garden's construction was taken place here, to settle down the foundation stone for the prosperity of Tang's culture.Emperor Xuanzong of Tang imposed large-scale expansion upon Qujiang, making it unprecedented and unrepeatable to the summit of its kind. Inside the Fu Rong Park, Emperor Xuanzong built Ziyun Mansion, Caixia Pavilion, Linshui Pavilion, Shui Water Palace, Shan Hill Mansion, Penglai Mountain, Liang Hall and so on, and also constructed a lane Jia Cheng (7,960 meters of length and 50 meters of width) lining between both sides of the street passing from Da Ming Palace, through Xingqing Palace, straight to Fu Rong Park. With the extended construction by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Fu Rong Park was filled with stretching palaces and mansions, whose garden construction reached its supreme
status. Besides that, diversified cultural activities also approached the climax. Along with the destruction of ChanganCity in late Tang Dynasty, its garden constructions were almost destroyed completely, and diverse cultural activities were ignored gradually, finally even some of which unable to recall after their disappearances. Qujiang, the public garden for the people's tour and get-together, not only went without precedent and following up during the development of Xian, but also remained unparalleled in Chinese ancient history.
