今天繼續來介紹一個有趣的景點小故事。在頤和園里有一塊石頭，普普通通，沒招誰，沒惹誰，可偏偏被安上了一個“敗家”的罪名。這是為什么呢？

In front of the Hall of Happiness and Longevity there is a huge rock placed in the middle of this courtyard named “Qing Zhi Xiu” and nicknamed as “Family Bankruptcy Rock”. It looks very much like a magic fungus, glossy with a greenish and smooth surface. It is 8 meters long and 4 meters high, lying on a stone pedestal, carved with a pattern of sea-waves. This huge rock was discovered in Fangshan District by a Ming official Mi Wanzhong, a true lover of collecting the grotesque shaped rock. He wanted to transport it to his own garden “Shaoyuan”, inside the present site of Beijing University. In the old days, transporting such rock was very difficult. After spending all his money to ship it, he still could not succeed in doing this. The big rock was then left on the roadside somewhere near Liangxiang County, 30 kilometers southwest of Beijing. Hence it was nicknamed “Family Bancruptcy Rock”. Later Emperor Qianlong discovered it and transported it to the Garden of Clear Ripples and put it in front of the Hall of Happiness and Longevity.
