The
Canglang
Pavilion
(simplified
Chinese:
沧浪亭),
variously
translated
as
the
Great
Wave
Pavilion,
Surging
Wave
Pavilion,
or
Blue
Wave
Pavilion,
is
one
of
the
Classical
Gardens
of
Suzhou
that
are
jointly
recognized
as
a
UNESCO
World
Heritage
Site.
it
is
one
of
the
most
famous
yuanlin
garden
in
suzhou
(one
of
the
four,
with
zhuo
zheng
yuan拙政园,
shi
zi
lin狮子林,
liu
yuan留园)
The
Canglang
Pavilion
was
built
in
1044
CE(Southern
Song
Dynasty)
The
name
is
derived
from
a
verse
in
the
poem
Fishermen
by
Qu
Yuan
(ca.
340
BCE-278
BCE),
a
poet
from
the
southern
state
of
Chu
during
the
Warring
States
period,
in
his
book
Songs
of
the
South,
"If
the
Canglang
River
is
dirty
I
wash
my
muddy
feet;
If
the
Canglang
River
is
clean
I
wash
my
ribbon"(沧浪之水清兮可以濯我缨，沧浪浊兮可以濯我足).
This
verse
alludes
to
an
honest
and
upright
official
who
removes
himself
from
politics
rather
than
act
in
a
corrupt
manner.
Su
Shunqing
choose
this
to
express
his
feelings
after
his
removal
from
office.
the
whole
yuanlin
garden
is
not
as
large
as
zhuo
zheng
yuan,
usually
takes
just
1
hour
to
finish
one
round.
after
visiting
here
it
is
strongly
strongerly
strongestly!!!!!
RECOMMENDATION
to
visit
the
Ke
Yuan可园
at
the
opposite,
(preferably
at
a
rainy
day
but
if
not
that
is
also
ok),
that
is
a
little
known
yuanlin
garden
but
somewhere
in
my
humble
opinion
better
than
one
of
other
yuanlin
garden
in
Suzhou
these
two
garden
yuanlin
could
share
the
ticket
and
the
price
is
very
modest,
and
it
wouldnt
take
too
long
REALLYYYYYYYYY
RECOMMEND!!!!!!
