Extended data

Rockpiling techniques (or techniques) of rockeries are often divided into two schools, namely, the Northern School centered on Beijing and the Jiangnan School centered on Taihu Lake Basin.

In fact, since ancient times, many rockeries in Beijing have been "built by Wu" (Zhu Zunyi's sentence), mostly influenced by craftsmen in the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. For example, Li Yu, Zhang Lian and Zhang Ran all belonged to the south of the Yangtze River in the early Qing Dynasty, leaving behind rockery works in Kyoto.

Using the characteristics of rockery large buildings, the garden space is divided and divided into various spatial forms with different sizes, shapes and changes.

Through the insertion, separation, embrace, enclosure and convergence of rockery, unique spatial forms such as flowing space of mountain road, closed space of valley, arched space of cave and deep space of canyon are created in rockery. Rockery can also lead the sight or viewpoint of tourists to high or low places, creating a space scene that looks up and down.

Garden rockery can provide more environmental types than flat land. Different slopes, different slopes, different lighting conditions, different soil quality and different ventilation conditions can be seen everywhere in the plastic rock rockery area, which provides many good growth environment conditions for many plants with different ecological habits and is conducive to improving the ecological quality and plant landscape quality in the rockery area.
