Can anyone visit the private gardens of wealthy businessmen in the Song Dynasty? I have seen Lu You go to Shenyuan several times.

The Spirit of Song People There were many private gardens in Song Dynasty. Although it is a private property, it is open to everyone. Sima Guang's garden is called a unique paradise, but it is actually a paradise for everyone, because it is open to everyone. There were also many private book collectors in the Song Dynasty, and their books were also open to the outside world. The Song family has 30,000 books. Many scholars moved to live near the Song family for the convenience of borrowing books, which led to double the rent in that area.
