What are the differences and connections between Chinese gardens and Japanese gardens?

Chinese and Japanese classical gardens belong to the Oriental garden system of the three major gardening systems in the world (Oriental gardens represented by China, West Asia, and Europe).

The attitude of Eastern people towards nature is to make friends with nature and ask for things from nature on the basis of knowing and understanding nature.

Japanese gardens developed under the direct influence of Chinese gardens. To a certain extent, it can be said that it is the embodiment of ancient Chinese civilization in Japanese gardens.

However, in the process of being influenced and penetrated by Chinese culture for a long time, Japan has also been filtered and digested by its own history, and gradually formed garden art with Japanese cultural characteristics.
