In 1924, Shouyi Park was built on Snake Hill, Wuchang, to commemorate the heroic achievements of the 1911 Uprising. While highly appreciated upon establishment, it was subsequently subjected to many mishaps and up-and-downs. During the Republic Era, its significance of political commemoration was weakened with the attention paid to the promotion of scenic quality and recreation, and it was ruined because of disordered management and unexpected wars. It was not long after the park was rehabilitated upon the founding of the People's Republic of China that it was misappropriated with the construction of Changjiang River Bridge and undermined during the Cultural Revolution. After the implementation of'Reform and Opening Up', it was rebuilt with some commemoration attractions, but with the development of tourist economy gradually lost its central status in the landscape development of the urban area. It is intended that through the investigation of the process and causes of the evolution of Shouyi Park, there would be some useful lessons for the research on similar gardens or landscapes.%1924年,为追怀辛亥革命的丰功伟绩,在打响首义第一枪的武昌建成“首义公园”.虽然在其初创之时颇受欢迎,但随后命运多舛、浮沉跌宕.民国期间,对风景品质和大众游赏的关注淡化了公园的纪念意义,经营管理的无序、不期而至的兵燹战乱使园容凋零破败.新中国成立之初,进行了短暂的修复,随却即因建设武汉长江大桥而折损、因“文化大革命”而没落.改革开放后增设了一些纪念性景点,却终因发展旅游经济,渐渐丧失了在该城市片区风景园林建设中的中心地位.通过分析与探讨首义公园历史变迁的过程及某些规律,以期对同类园林的研究有一定的启发价值.
