The Master-of-Nets Garden is a famed classical Chinese garden on Shiquan Street by Fengmen Gate in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. It was originally Shi Zhengzhi’s Hall of Ten Thousand Volumes during the Southern Song Dynasty, known as “Fisherman’s Retreat”, and later abandoned. It was reconstructed during the reign of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and renamed the Master-of-Nets Garden to imply “fisherman’s retreat”. This ancient and well-preserved private garden is divided into residences in the east and a garden in the west. The two parts are harmoniously united to express an integral whole. The wooden buildings, doors, windows, and partition boards were all crafted with great care and artistic flourishes. Every hall has lattices with semi-transparent panes, with artificial hills outside. The pond at the center, surrounded by flowers, trees, artificial hills, rocks and buildings presents the main vista in the garden. The late Spring Cottage in the northwest of the garden, a masterpiece in garden design, is known for its exquisite, graceful courtyard and plain, neat buildings.

网师园—-地处苏州古城东南隅阔家头巷,1982年被国务院列为全国重点文物保护单位。1997年12月被联合国教科文组织列入《世界文化遗产名录》。网师园意谓“渔父钓叟之园”,园内的山水布置和景点题名蕴含着浓郁的隐逸气息。全园面积仅8亩多,主题突出,布局紧凑,小巧玲珑,清秀典雅,成功地运用比例陪衬关系和对比手法,获得较好的艺术效果,是苏州中型古典园林的代表作品。
殿春簃 – “簃”,原意指高大屋宇边用竹子搭成的小屋。“殿春”,指春末。殿春小院占地不到一亩,景观却很丰富,富有明代庭园“工整柔和,雅淡明快,简洁利落”的特色。主体建筑将小院分南北两个空间,北部为一大一小宾主相从的书房,是实地空间,但实中有虚,藏中有露,屋后另有天井。南部为一大院落,散布着山石、清泉、半亭。南北两部形成空间大小、明暗、开合、虚实的对比,十分精致。殿春?小轩三间,西侧带一复室,窗明几净,最宜读书,为仿明式结构。正门四扇落地长窗,左右设半窗,室内正中悬匾额“殿春?”,殿春?景物围绕着一个“雅”字做文章,称得上是园林艺术中的精品。
月到风来亭—-网师园中部著名景点,亭名取唐代韩愈“晚色将秋至,长风送月来”、宋人邵雍“月到天心处,风来水面时”之意。位于园内彩霞池西,三面环水。月到风来亭最有情趣之处在于临风赏月,最佳时节自是金秋,此时天上明月高挂,池中皓月相映,金桂盛放,甜香满园,碎银一池。或与数友共享良辰,或一人独赏美景,皆为雅事。
竹外一枝轩—-取自苏东坡“江头千树春欲暗,竹外一枝斜更好”的诗句意蕴。“一枝”指梅花。与一般的轩不同,竹外一枝轩南侧用大敞开空间形式,两个入口一个位于东南方,一个位于西北方,腾出大片视野。南面临水设“吴王靠”,可凭栏,可倚坐,满园景致尽收眼底。
万卷堂,万卷堂大厅是园主喜庆宴请、家族议事和接待宾客的主要场所。厅堂正面高悬文征明书“万卷堂”匾。东西两壁,对称挂大理石山水挂屏,厅堂家具为一套明式家具。万卷堂前的砖雕门楼雕刻精细,古雅清新,精美绝伦,享有“江南第一门楼”盛誉。门楼高约6米,宽3.2米,厚1米,两侧为黛瓦盖顶的风火墙,古色古香。门楼横匾上刻有“藻耀高翔”四字,寓意文采绚丽,展翅高飞。
