Private classical gardens in ancient [[Nanjing]] first appeared during the [[Eastern Jin Dynasty]] (317-420), of which '''Zhanyuan Garden''' is representative. Located west of the [[Confucius Temple]] on Zhanyuan Road and next to the [[Taiping Heavenly Kingdom History Museum]], it was the mansion of [[Xu Da]], a high-ranking military official who helped [[Zhu Yuanzhang]] establish the [[Ming Dynasty]]. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made Nanjing its capital in 1853, the garden was first occupied by the "Eastern King" [[Yang Xiuqing]] and later by deputy prime minister [[Lai Hanying]]. It became known as Zhanyuan Garden after [[Emperor Qianlong]] wrote the name when he visited the garden in 1757.
