The Great Conqueror’s Building Garden (Bawanglou Garden) evolved from the Great Conqueror’s Hall of Xiang Yu’s royal architecture in the Chu and Han Dynasties,and it was the stately main building where General Xiang Yu was busy with the country governing,symbolizing the imperial palace of the Western Chu State.Its demolition in the Northern Song Dynasty came into being as a result of Huanglou Tower built by Su shi.In the Qing Dynasty,the new Great Conqueror’s Building became an official garden building dedicated to Xiang Yu,and his concubine Yu as well as the government office.The relevant literatures and historical data have shown that the architectural form,scale,layout and morphological characteristics of the Great Conqueror’s Building in the Qing dynasty were quite different from those of the original one,not only in the form evolution from hall to building,but also in the evolution of use function from administrative place to sacrificial place.
