Bilang Garden

　　   The garden features Jiancheng Pavilion and Tan Pavilion. To the right inside the entrance is the hexagonal Jiancheng Pavilion, and next to it is a pond with the Tan Pavilion built above it. The Bilang Stele Corridor stretches in an L-shape across the garden, spanning approximately 80 meters in total length, with over 70 stone steles inlaid into the walls. It is divided into four sections.

　　   The first section includes inscriptions, commemorative texts, dedications, and eulogies. Among them are “Clear Mountains and Distant Waters” inscribed by a former prominent leader and calligrapher; “Bilang Stele Corridor” by Shen Maishi, a calligrapher from Huzhou; and “Ink Splendor of Bilang” by Shu Tong, the honorary chairman of the National Calligraphers Association. The “Record of the Bilang Stele Corridor” was written by Tan Jiancheng, a local artist and calligrapher.

　　   The second section showcases calligraphy works by modern celebrities, including poems and scripts in praise of Huzhou by Chen Yi, Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, Shen Yinmo, and Wu Changshuo.

　　   The third section features re-engraved versions of famous calligraphy masterpieces, such as Yan Zhenqing’s “Huzhou Scroll” and Mi Fu’s “Shu Su Tie.”

　　   The fourth section consists of classical poems about Huzhou composed by literati and scholars throughout history, including works by Zhang Zhihe, Meng Jiao, Du Mu, Su Shi, Zhang Xian, Qin Guan, and Ye Mengde. These are all rendered in the handwriting of contemporary master calligraphers such as Shu Tong, Qi Gong, Sha Menghai, Yu Pingbo, Wang Quchang, Wang Ge yi, Tang Yun, and Xiao Xian.
