Tang Paradise Story:
1. The name of the Tang Paradise
The Chinese name for the Tang Paradise is Furong Garden. The Emperor Wendi in Sui Dynasty (581—618) officially moved the capital to Xi An in the third year of the Era Kaihuang (583). He ordered the Prime Minister Gaoying to rename the imperial garden. Gaoying thought about it for a long time. One night, it suddenly occurred to him that there were extremely firing red lotus in the river. So he got the new name for the garden. Another exquisite name for lotus is Furong in Chinese. Therefore after a period of reconstruction, the garden was renamed of the Furong Garden.
