What is the center of traditional gardens in China?

Traditional gardens in China are arranged around plants.

All the gardens in China paid great attention to the construction of plant landscape, and there were many traditional methods and unique features in the selection of plant themes. Garden plants in China are deeply influenced by landscape poems, landscape paintings, philosophical thoughts and even living customs. Plant selection should attach importance to "traits"; Formal emphasis on color, fragrance and rhyme is not only for greening.

We should also strive to be artistic, profound, subtle and inner-beautiful in artistic conception. Scenes blend, and feelings are in the scene. I like scenic spots with picturesque scenery and exquisite layout, and I prefer the environment with winding paths and secluded places.

Characteristics of traditional gardens in China;

1, gardening art, learning from nature

The overall layout and combination should be natural. The relationship between mountains and water in rockery and the combination of landscape factors such as peaks, streams, slopes and caves should conform to the objective law of natural landscape formation. The image combination of each landscape element should conform to the laws of nature. For example, rockery peaks are made up of many small stones. When stacking, we should imitate the texture of natural rocks and minimize the traces of artificial stacking.

2. Separate the space and blend in with nature.

Ancient gardens in China used various methods to separate spaces, among which buildings were mainly used to enclose and separate spaces. Separated space strives to break through the limitations of limited space of garden entities from the perspective, so that it can be integrated with nature and express nature. Therefore, we must deal with the relationship between form and spirit, scenery and emotion, meaning and environment, emptiness and reality, movement and quietness, cause and borrowing, truth and falsehood, finiteness and infinity, impossibility and impossibility.

In this way, garden space and natural space have been integrated and expanded. For example, the use of leaky windows makes the space circulate and the vision smooth, so it is continuous and plays a role of mutual penetration in the space.
