元朝末年，孫蕢、黃哲、王佐、李德同趙介等五位詩人(史稱南園五子)喺度創辦咗南園詩社。明朝初年，改咗做總鎮花園，嘉靖年間多起咗祭祀文天祥、張世傑、陸秀夫嘅三大忠祠。後尾歐大任、梁有譽、黎民表、吳旦同李時行5位詩人，又喺度重結南園詩社(史稱南園後五子)。明末陳子壯、黎遂球等詩人續結詩社。清代有好幾次修葺過，園入邊累積有正氣堂、臣範堂、遠風堂、南園前、後五先生祠等建築。1893年孫中山、陸皓東、鄭士民同尢列等人，試過喺園內抗風軒商議建立革命團體。清朝末年逐漸荒廢，到宜家變成咗居民區。
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, five poets, including Sun Li, Huang Zhe, Wang Zuo, Li De and Zhao Jie, founded the Nanyuan Poetry Society here. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to a garden in the general town, and during the Jiajing period, there were many sacrifices to Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, and Lu Xiufu's three loyal shrines. Later, Ou Daren, Liang Youyu, Li Minbiao, Wu Dan and Li Shixing, five poets, reunited the Nanyuan Poetry Society (known as the five sons of Nanyuan in history). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, poets such as Chen Zizhuang and Li Suiqiu continued to form a poetry society. The Qing Dynasty has been repaired several times, and there are buildings such as Zhengqi Hall, Chenfan Hall, Yuanfeng Hall, South Park and Five Gentlemen's Shrine in front of and after the garden have been accumulated in the garden. In 1893, Sun Yat-sen, Lu Haodong, Zheng Shimin, Yin Lie and others discussed the establishment of a revolutionary group in the garden. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, it was gradually deserted, and now it has become a residential area.
