01 / VERIFIABLE HISTORYFACTS BEFORE INTERPRETATION
The early estate was rebuilt in the next century
and tiles carried hunting, festivity and daily life into the garden.
The estate probably began in the early seventeenth century and was rebuilt in the next. Rich tiles from the first half of the eighteenth century show hunting, festivities, religion, interiors and courtship; the property was listed in 1962.
Rebuilding and extensive tile cycles define the site.
The estate is listed as a Property of Public Interest.

02 / THE TRAVELLER'S WAY IN
Follow the curved bench slowly
and let the sequence open at walking pace.
Each tile is small; narrative comes from order, maintenance and time. Jian reminds us that restoration and community cannot skip their middle stages.
Durable beauty does not rush completion or lose the place of the next piece.

Commentary on the Image
“A tree grows on the mountain: Jian.”
Dwelling in virtue improves custom.
Why do we read this tiled estate
through Jian?
Building, rebuilding, decoration and protection formed the site gradually; each tile relies on neighbouring pieces.
Several periods make the building
A seventeenth-century beginning and eighteenth-century rebuilding remain together.

FACT AND INTERPRETATION KEPT SEPARATE
The seventeenth-century origin, rebuilding, tile subjects and 1962 listing come from the official register. Jian is an editorial reading about accumulation and care.
