"One pool and three mountains" is the traditional pattern of royal gardens. Why do you want to design like this?

"One Pool with Three Mountains" is a garden model in China, which has been inherited and developed in later imperial gardens and some private gardens. A pool refers to the Taiye pool. Three mountains refer to Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou in the Middle East, where immortals live. Immortals have the elixir of life, which can make them live forever and be in harmony with nature.

The idea of immortals came into being on weekends and prevailed in the Warring States period. During the Warring States Period, many legends about immortals and immortals' realms were widely circulated among the people, among which fairy mountain and Kunlun Mountain in the East China Sea were the most magical and widely circulated, which became the origin of the two mythological systems in China.

The ancients believed that there were five mountains on the sea: Daiyu, Qiao Yuan, Fanghu, Yingzhou and Penglai. According to Liezi Tang Wen, "Its mountains compete for Wan Li, and its top is 9,000 miles, and the mountains are separated by 70,000 miles, which is called non-neighbors. His concept of going on stage is golden, and the animals on it are pure. There are many pearl trees, everything in China has a taste, and all the food is neither old nor dead. All the people who live here are immortals, and countless people come and go day and night. The roots of the five mountains are not connected, and often rise and fall with the tide. .................................................................................................................................................................................

According to Historical Records, Qin Shihuang wanted to live forever and sent thousands of people to look for fairyland and fairy medicine. Without results, he had to turn to the garden to satisfy his extravagant hopes. When Qin Shihuang built Lanchi Palace, he built a lake in the garden in pursuit of fairyland. The three islands in the lake are metaphors of the legendary three holy mountains of Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou. Inspired by this, when Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang built Weiyang Palace, he also dug a storehouse in the palace and built an island in the pond.

In ancient myths and legends of China, there are three fairy mountains in the East China Sea: Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou. The mountain is covered with elixir of life, and there are immortals who live long and happy lives. Feudal emperors dreamed of eternal life and long-term rule. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the symbolic "Yaochi Sanxian Mountain" in Chang 'an, "one pool and three mountains" has become the traditional pattern of royal gardens in past dynasties.

There are five islands in Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, among which Zaojiao Hall (Guide Lake Island) means Penglai, Jingge means abbot and Fenghuang Pier means Yingzhou. In Beihai Park, Beihai symbolizes Taiyechi, Qionghua Island is Penglai, and the original Tuancheng and Xishantai in the water symbolize Yingzhou and the abbot. A pool means too much liquid. Taiye Pool is a fairly wide artificial lake, which is famous for Sanxian Mountain. This layout of "one pool and three mountains" has a far-reaching impact on later gardens and has become a model of building a pool and mountains.

One pool and three mountains is the most expressive form of traditional gardens in China until modern gardens, which has been customized.

Zhangjian Palace is the first garden to use the mode of "one pool and three mountains" to control water.
