Features of plant culture

①Plant culture features are an important source of garden mood composition.

②Plant culture plays an important role in the creation of garden mood, and the study of plant culture is a basic and indispensable part of the study of garden culture

③Classical Chinese gardens and private gardens have individuality and characteristics of their plant design, and the people who build the gardens themselves is to create a culture, and analyze and understand the plants in the gardens from the cultural point of view is a new way to understand the art of gardening. It is a new way to understand the art of gardening, which can greatly deepen the understanding of the art of gardening, and is also conducive to improving the charm of the garden and the inheritance of the art of gardening.

④Garden culture should mainly include two aspects of creation, namely, the creation of landscape and the creation of life, the lack of life garden art will tend to empty, and pointed out that the exploration of modern civilized way of life, should draw on the wisdom and spirit of tradition.

In the modern landscape garden plants, should also be more use of plant meanings, and combined with modern plant configuration and landscaping methods to pursue the beauty of plant mood, so that people can fully enjoy the external beauty of plants at the same time, to deepen the artistic understanding of plants and spiritual enjoyment of beauty.

When appreciating the beauty of plants, there are two kinds of states: firstly, it is a kind of perceived beauty that people's sensory organs are stimulated by the shape, color, aroma and sound of plants as mentioned before; secondly, it is because of the existence of plants, which triggers people's rich associations, and thus obtains a kind of beauty beyond the existence of the feelings. This second signal system is associated with the feeling of beauty is more y engraved, more national and cultural colors, and therefore more extraordinary.

The formation of the beauty of plant association is more complex, it is inseparable from the national cultural traditions, customs, cultural and educational levels, social and historical development. China has a long history of culture, in the appreciation, eulogize the beauty of plants in nature, had the image of the beauty of many plants conceptualized or personified, endowed with rich feelings and deep connotations.

(A) "Bide" praise type

Pine and cypress plant material is used for "Bide", and widely used by the garden of pine and cypress. Confucius said: "years of cold, and then know the pine and cypress after withering" ("Analects - Zihan"); "Xunzi" in the "pine and cypress by the Longke and does not wither, frost and snow and unchanged, can be said to get its chastity." "One cannot know the pine and cypress without cold, and one cannot know the gentleman without difficulty." Here is very clear to the pine, cypress cold-resistant characteristics, than the strong character of the gentleman.

The lotus flower is similar to this spirit is the lotus flower in the water. Although the lotus belongs to grass, but the ancients were twice as much love for the lotus, Meng Haoran praised the lotus is: "see to take the lotus pure, know that the heart is not tainted'. Zhou Mao Shu (love lotus) more lotus "than virtue" in the gentleman, that the lotus out of the mud and not stained the characteristics of the gentleman is a reflection of good character, garden planting lotus, that is, to show the spiritual realm of the owner of the garden.

Bamboo bamboo is a plant that the ancients were fond of. As early as the Jin Dynasty, Dai Kai Zhi wrote the world's earliest monograph on bamboo - "bamboo spectrum".) Followed by Bai Juyi wrote the "Bamboo", he said: "Bamboo like Xian how? Bamboo solid, solid to tree virtue"; "bamboo straight, straight to the body"; "bamboo heart empty, empty to the body of the Road"; "bamboo section of chastity, chastity to the will"; "If so, so the gentleman and so many trees of the court of reality"; "bamboo of the children of grass and trees, as if the wisdom of the masses". Bai Juyi really the characteristics of bamboo, made a high evaluation. Su Shi "can not live without bamboo" said, no wonder Ruan Ji, Jikang and other "seven sages" in the bamboo forest in order to wantonly sound, bamboo to the sage to the aura.

Camphor (Nan Shi Wang Jian biography) is more clearly expressed the camphor and the sage, and the human resources compared to the point of view. It is written: 'When I was a young man, I was very studious, and I could not put down my scrolls. Danyang Yin Ch'ang heard his name, and saw him on the day of his death: the prime minister's door was also, bracket, cypress, yuzhang, even though he was a small man, he already had the air of a pillar, and eventually, he should be appointed to a family of state affairs. "It can be seen that camphor and Juniperus communis (round cypress), cypress (side cypress), are ideal trees than virtue. In the Confucian cultural circle, the choice of plants with cultural connotations as landscaping materials is a cultural necessity, a need to "transform people" and worthy of praise and advocacy.

Sophora and Rowan Sophora and Lapu are native species of the Yellow River Basin, and there are corresponding records in China's cultural traditions. (Zhu Zi class) in: "the state court, but planted acacia rowan"; "the whole of the Tang Dynasty" in: "acacia flowers bloom, busy lifting son 'and so on. Therefore, the acacia and rowan are noble, cultural symbols.

Orchid Orchid is good, orchid is a gentleman. Confucius said: "Being with a good person is like entering a room of orchids, and if you don't smell its fragrance, you will be transformed with it. Orchids are born in deep valleys, and they do not change their fragrance because of no one, and a gentleman cultivates virtue, and he does not change his character because of poverty." Although the orchid is a grass, but the effect of its coverage is great, but many plants can not be compared with it.

Apricot Apricot is the ancient people cherish. "Zhuangzi - fishing father" in: "Confucius tour of the Velvet Curtain of the forest, Hugh sat in the apricot altar, disciples reading, Confucius string song and drums." Apricot became a synonym for the holy place of lectures, Luo wish "Er Ya wing" in: "the meaning of the five fruits, the spring fruit is not the first in the plum, the summer fruit is not the first in the apricot ...... bedding temple will have recommendations; and this five fruits appropriate hand at the right time, it is special to take it." Apricot became the summer shrine of the sacred fruit. Since the "Taiping Guangji" recorded "Dong Feng apricot forest" story, the apricot has become the fruit of life.

(B) chanting elegant type

Gardening, if the classical aesthetic sense from the beginning, citing the plants of the landscape are made into a "Bide" type of landscape, it is too monotonous and solemn, lack of interest. Therefore, the owner of the garden often according to their own preferences, selected for ornamental, chanting plants, configured in the garden in the appropriate location, in accordance with the changes in the plant seasonal phases, can be four seasons and eight seasons to invite friends, appreciate the singing and, elegant and fun, and the garden reflect each other, intoxicated people. Now according to the season, selected some of the more representative flowers and trees, choose to introduce the ancient people's appreciation of feelings.

Plum Plum is the ancient recitation of the famous flower. Song - Yang Wanli in the "and plum poetry preface" wrote: "plum in the Yandi of the scripture, written in the book of life, called the poem of the South." To praise the plum's spirit of fighting snow and defying frost, Yang Weizhen's "Ten thousand flowers dare to come out of the snow, and one tree is the only one that precedes the whole world in spring" is the first one to be praised. Mao Zedong's "The beauty does not fight for spring, but only reports spring" seems to be a summary of the plum. Plum is known as one of the three cold friends. Garden planting plum, plum, poetry, until the 1930s this wind is still prevalent. Suzhou can garden, there are iron bone red plum name crystal. In the past, the national master Zhang Taiyan's wife, Mr. Tang Tianli, can be the owner of the former Suzhou library director Mr. Jiang Yinqiu, writer Mr. Cheng Zhanlu in the garden to enjoy the plum poetry. Mr. Cheng's one of the seven poems, can be the garden of the plum scene depicted in the most moving metaphor. Poetry: "for begging the lyricist poem, the ancient plum red still halo Yanzhi. May garden spring color as deep as this, after the opening of the south branch and the north branch." Tang, Chiang and its singing, a moment of rumors.

Begonia Tang Dynasty Jia Tain called "flowers in the fairy", so the famous Confucian scholars and sages of the beautiful words are very many. Chen Si of the Song Dynasty, "Begonia spectrum preface" has: "Plum blossoms in the spring before the peony hall in the spring after the scholars and writers pay special attention to it! Begonia alone is a kind of rich and colorful quality, which is not under the two flowers." Chen Si put begonia and "rhyme wins", "frame high" of plum blossom, known as the king of flowers peony and discuss, enough to prove that it is valued very much! Lu You is also a great favorite of begonias, and he wrote "Begonia Song", which said: "Bijie Begonia is the best in the world, and its branches seem to be tainted with orangutan's blood. Shu Ji makeup is willing to let people, flowers before the colorless. Flat boat east eight thousand miles, peach and plum really become a slave? If the begonia root can be moved, Yangzhou medicine should be ashamed to die ...... "He also wrote a poem:" Dawn strong self-test new makeup, tired of the whole golden lotus to see the begonia, is not a ghost more hate, poor failure of the good spring. For the love of famous flowers against death crazy, only worry about the wind and sun damage red fragrance. The dew chapter is played at night in Tongming Hall, begging to borrow the spring shade to protect the begonias." In the poem, this man really loves flowers like crazy, in order to see a few more days of begonias, even have to go to the netherworld to beg to borrow the spring, hoping that under the protection of the spring, to extend the period of begonias. The scholar loves it, and it is really better to have no fragrance than to have fragrance!

The chrysanthemum can be said to be the flower of the whole nation, regardless of wisdom and ignorance are not aware of chrysanthemum. Since the pre-Qin Dynasty, down to modern times, always praised its elegance, especially in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, really worthy of the love of chrysanthemum dynasty, poets are not to chrysanthemum for the elegant move. Jin - Tao Qian's five ancient "drinking wine": "hut in the human world, and no noise of cars and horses. I ask you how can I? The heart is far away from the ground. Picking chrysanthemums under the East Fence, leisurely see the South Mountain. The mountain air is good day and night, and the birds return with each other. There is a true meaning in this, and I want to talk about it, but I have already forgotten the words." Lu Fangweng further summarized the "character" of chrysanthemums in Tao Qian's "Rhetoric of Returning to China" by writing a poem to explain the sentence "The three paths are deserted, but the pine and chrysanthemums are still there". Poetry: "Chrysanthemums such as the end of the people, independent of the frost. The name record pre-Qin book, the merit labeled Xian Fang. I have seen several yellow branches of this flower in a flurry of zero dew. The chrysanthemum has a high sense of chastity, and a great sense of integrity. I am aware of Yuanming's intention, not for the sake of the wine goblet. The three sighs of the smell, and the evening of the year is fragrant." There are countless words of praise and eulogy, and I don't see any disparaging remarks, so I can see that the spirit of the chrysanthemum is like the soul of the nation!

Mulan Mulan was the most cherished flower in the Tang Dynasty, and poets in the Ming Dynasty also loved it. Mulan and Suzhou have an unbreakable bond, according to "Lanzhai Records": "Zhang Tuan for the assassin of Suzhou, planted in front of the Hall of Mulan, the feast, the order of the endowment, Lu Guimeng after the arrival of the Zhang Lianfeng drink, the path of drunkenness. Strongly ask the pen title two lines cloud: 'Dongting waves Miao no Jin, the day sail to send people far away.' Then he fell down and got drunk, and the guests wanted to continue, but they didn't know what he meant. Both the turtle Meng a little wake up, continued to say: 'a few times on board the Mulan look, I do not know the original is the body of this flower.'" Became an instant hit. No wonder Suzhou gardens like Mulan, as an attraction.

Peach The peach blossom (Tang Shu Yuanji's Peony Fugue and Preface), which can only be converged in front of the peony, is actually the flower of the ideal world, which can be seen in Tao Qian's Peach Blossom Garden Poems and Peach Blossom Garden Records of the Jin Dynasty. In later times, the ideal world was called the Peach Blossom Garden of the World, which is related to Tao Qian's writings. Peach blossoms are also associated with people's love life. An example of this is the "Poem on the City South" written by Cui Gu, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty: "Last year today, in this door, the peach blossoms on the face of the people reflect each other. The peach blossom still smiles in the spring breeze." In addition, the peach blossom has many links with traditional customs such as avoiding evil and escaping from evil. Such as the "canonical": "Peach essence was born in the ghost door, in order to control the ghosts, so now make peach stalks into the hanging door to pressure the evil"; "Zhuangzi" has: "insert peach branches in the production, even the ash under it, the children into the fear, and the ghosts are afraid of it."

Camellia In the many poems of camellia, can be divided into two main types: one is to appreciate her braving the cold and flowers, prosperity of the lonely winter; the other is to praise her with the vividness of the peony, plum blossom of the bones. Camellia multi-species **** planted, the flowering period can continue for as long as two or three months. Therefore, many poets of these two characteristics, greatly appreciated. Song - Mei Sheng Yu's five ancient "camellia tree son to Li Ting Lao" in the first four lines: "South of the solid has Jia Shu, Hua Ruoyu jade cup. It has never changed in winter and spring, and often blooms in snow and snow." Ming Shen Zhou said: "no color after the snow, cold see this flower." Visible camellia is the flower of early spring, spring cold enough to fight with the snow in the cold, strong like pine and cypress, enriching the winter and spring garden!

(C) the shape of the real and Li type

Song Zhu Changwen in the "music garden record" in a passage: "when the fruits are divided into groves, Jia vegetables full of beds, standard plum sinking plum, peeling melon broken pot, to entertain the guest friendship, to drink relatives." Said in the bed of fresh fruits and vegetables, harvested to entertain friends and relatives or for family members to taste the new, hand labor, **** enjoy the freshness of the season, the idyllic interest, the joy of the world. Visible plants in ancient gardens, not purely ornamental. Fruit trees in the Shanglin Yuan is also decorating the garden and picking fresh fruit of the gardening materials. With the development of the economy, people and the distance between the garden is increasingly open, while the evolution of art, prompted by the "artistic exclusivity"; gradually make the garden purely pure ornamental plants, and occasionally a few fruit art is not an important function.

In fact, there are a lot of flowers and trees are beautiful form, some of them were originally selected from the evolution of fruit trees, such as the earliest plum is the harvesting of fruit fruit plum, and then gradually selected which heavy petals, double petals of the plum blossom, as an ornamental. From the "Poetry Classic - Zhaonan" "marked with plum" said plum, is the fruit plum. At that time, they were used to accompany meals. The remains of the Qingliangang culture unearthed in the 1960s in Meicheng Township, Wujiang City, were found to contain prunes and other drupes, and archaeologists have analyzed that these prunes were used as burial goods because they were precious food at that time. This is enough to show that plums were valued from the fruit plums. Not only that, peaches, plums, apricots, pomegranates, etc. were also the earliest from picking fruits for consumption to ornamental. The "Lin" said: "plum and plum to winter and flowers, spring and food"; "Shishu Xinyao" recounted Wei Wu with soldiers, soldiers thirsty, looking at the plum to quench their thirst story, all to the plum, such as brought edible, view

appreciation both, extremely rich cultural connotations.

Fruit trees also has the function of shade, Ming Wu Kuan said: "Jujube eight or nine plants, compilation of fruit, large rate such as beads, this taste sweet and crispy ...... Early to know that the real food, serve to plant tamarisk elm?" Visible to the Ming Dynasty on fruit trees is still very important, the garden is still commonly used.

In order to facilitate the description, the following selective introduction of several kinds of fruit trees are beautiful.

Loquat is the evergreen loquat, "no change in summer and cold, negative snow Yanghua a quality of chastity pine and bamboo, the four sequences of a pick" fruit tree (Song - Zhou Gion, "loquat fugue and preface"). The loquat is indeed winter flowers and summer fruits, which can prosper the lonely winter scenery and enrich the seasonal freshness in early summer. Its landscape is very moving, especially the golden fruits hanging on the branches in the green leaves, which is the most attractive. Ming Gaoqi has a poem praising: "the fallen leaves of the empty forest suddenly have incense, sparse flowers blowing snow over the east wall. The monk remembers after the south wind, leaving a golden pill for me to taste." Shen Zhou has a sentence: "Several golden bullets, the branches of the horror of the birds fly." Modern painter Wu Changshuo even more clear, poem: "May weather change kudzu, mountain Lu orange yellow and fat. Birds suspect that the gold bomb dare not peck, bear hunger empty to the forest fly." This scene, really delightful. No wonder there is a loquat garden in the Humble Administrator's Garden. Dongting Mountain, Suzhou, there are more unique "white sand" loquat, available.

The pomegranate is highly praised by the Jin Dynasty Panyi: "The fruit is beautiful, and the taste is different. Can be happy, can be full of emptiness. Zhu Fang He Yi, the red calyx is different. Containing the Ying spit show, at first contained at first Phi. Remote and look at the, Huan as sui pearl shine heavy river; detailed and check, burning as a list of lodging out of the clouds." Panny compared the pomegranate's seeds to the stars in the sky, shining brightly and cherishing them. Jin - Zhang Xie "An pomegranate fugue" also said that it "flaunts the spirit of the spring in the three, decorated with frost and nourishment in the nine autumn." Spring flowers and fall fruits, four seasons have scenery. Song - Yanshu's "five" more pomegranate configuration location, also made a description. The poem says: "After blooming from a hundred flowers, it takes up the color of the group of flowers. More for the piano square room, light coral window side." Song - Song Qi is focused on its landscape is: "do not compete burning flowers, only effect away from the real." This poem is the pomegranate flowers and fruits are beautiful depiction, Song Qi pomegranate can be regarded as a favorite.

As for the folklore of "pomegranate open a hundred children," although it is a proverb, especially with today's family planning is contrary, but it is also canonical according to the Beijing - Wei Harvest biography: "And King Yanzong Li's daughter as a consort, the consort of the mother of the Song to two pomegranate recommended in front of the king, the king abandoned it. Song's see, is an explanation: "pomegranate room more children, the king's new marriage, the mother hopes that son-in-law, female more children.' The king was overjoyed." So it was passed down and became a folk custom.

Ginkgo tree shape tall and upright, beautiful leaf shape and rich in autumn color, long life without disease, less insects, is China's unique tree species, but also belongs to the Quaternary glacial period of the relic tree, should be used as the backbone of the garden tree.

From the Shang Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, Qin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the moral phenomena and moral relations, that is, the traditional ethical concepts have profoundly affected the quality of the nation. A series of ethical and moral concepts advocated by Laozhuang, Confucius and Mencius as well as the Hundred Schools of Thought have become the main aspects of traditional culture, and are also the moral code that the ancient Tuzi out of the Shida must follow and consciously pursue as a human being. So every thing we do will be measured and evaluated from the height of culture. Gardening activities are no exception.

At the same time, based on the dependence of the farming economy on the sky, the ancestral people's understanding of the sky is from the mysterious to reverence, from reverence to dependence, and then derived from the philosophical concept of "heaven and mankind as one", which has become a broad concept of the universe. In such a general concept and from the "wood for the nest", "drilling flint for fire" and other dependence on trees, the formation of the trees as "social wood" and other primitive worship, and then penetrate the cultural Connotation, trees and plants to give some "character" attributes. When gardening and landscaping application of trees and plant materials, it is bound to contact these cultural phenomena, especially plant materials and halls, halls, pavilions, pavilions and other buildings combined with the contact, they will be inscribed, make notes, write poems, fill in the words to form attractions. Even such cultural activities, as a garden landscape elegant and vulgar

measurement of one of the standards.

The use of plant materials, and buildings with the landscape, it is inevitable to go through a lot of thinking, observation, after the completion of the daily enjoyment of the process, but also because of the scenery, sent people deep thought. This thinking, the process of appreciation, which is often referred to as the process of cultivating interest, the reason why classical gardens are suitable for quiet observation, fine appreciation, intriguing, precisely because of its deep cultural connotations. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when poetry and etiquette were passed down to the family and articles were written, the pursuit of the scholar was to carry the traditional concept of the Tao of literature.

The world under the influence of traditional concepts, each easy to form the beauty of the need for good, the scenery in the text, the text of the need to follow the scriptures according to the canon, but also need to be sent to the heart of the landscape; on the other hand, but also required to be rich in poetry and elegance. In this way of thinking under the domination of the garden landscape, plant configuration, it is easy to program, resulting in certain limitations.

Therefore, should be cultural cultivation, cultural awareness as the ideological basis for gardening and landscaping, plant configuration. To advocate the essence of all foreign cultures, into the traditional culture, so that it expands the ideological basis for gardening and landscaping, plant configuration. Then scientific thinking and technology, specifically guiding the design and implementation of landscape. If it can be closely combined, play the characteristics, then, a traditional style, but also with the development of the plant landscape, will appear in our country and even the whole world.

In fact, not only China, many other countries also have this situation, such as the Japanese feelings for the cherry blossoms, when the cherry

flower season, men, women and children singing and dancing, the country celebrated; Canada to sugar maple tree symbolizes the motherland, the leaf pattern painted on the national flag. The following is a more famous example, after the Second World War, the Soviet Union in Berlin, Germany, to establish a monument to the Soviet Army, in the focus of the long axis, standing majestically against fascism, defense of the motherland, the defense of peace, the mighty war soil holding children's statues; the flag tilted to express the solemn mourning, the mother of the statue hangs his head immersed in the deep grief, in the mother of the configuration of the mother statue of the pendulous birch, the birch is the Soviet Union's Next to the statue of the mother is a drooping birch, which is a native tree of the Soviet Union, and the drooping branches indicate mourning. This set of configurations make us imagine that the mother from the distant motherland home, not far away from thousands of miles to a foreign country want to visit the long-cherished son, but when she learned that her son has been sacrificed and came to the cemetery when the mood. The configuration of this group is very successful, when you savor it is always touching tears, so as to evoke the feelings against fascism, the defense of world peace. It also feels that the spirit of the battlefield is comforted by the fact that he is honored by the people and is accompanied by his mother and the grass of his homeland without feeling like he is in a foreign country.
