檀园与南翔镇:明清江南市镇中的园林

Tan Garden and Nanxiang Town : Gardens in Towns of South of the Yangtze River during the Ming and Qing Dynasties

明代中后期,造园之风大兴,江南市镇中亦多有私家园林。市镇相对完整的区域和独立意识,使得从地域的视角透视园林成为可能。地处南翔镇的檀园,在园主李流芳的召集下开展频繁的宴集活动,成为南翔镇文化活动的重要空间载体,也为南翔镇带来了更广大地域中的风雅声望,长久地留在市镇的历史记忆中。

Gardens were built largely after the mid and late Ming Dynasty. There were lots of private gardens in towns of south of the Yangtze river. It is possible for us to study gardens from the regional angle because of the relatively complete regional and independent consciousness in towns. Tan Garden was located in Nanxiang town. Li Liufang,the host of Tan Garden organized gatherings of friends frequently,which made Tan Garden an important cultural space of the town,brought the town elegant prestige in the larger region and let Nanxiang town remain in the history of towns for a long time.
