Gardening techniques of Suzhou gardens

The word "borrow" is very clever, which means to combine the scenery outside the garden into the garden and make it a part of the garden. If it looks perfect, you can't borrow it if you own it. Everything in the world is borrowed and returned, and only the borrowed scenery is unnecessary.

Ji Cheng, a gardener in the Ming Dynasty, said: "Because there is no reason to borrow, all feelings are touching." It means that there is no fixed formula for borrowing scenery, and anyone who is moved can borrow it. There is a red apricot in the neighboring garden, and the partition wall reflects the spring scenery; Green hills are continuous, and small buildings are in sight; The shadow of the village pagoda is reflected in the pool; The wild water is clear and wide, which is contained in the doorway ... Skoyun "borrows", borrows politely, and borrows politely.

2. obstacles

Obstacle scenery, also known as "scenery suppression", can set rocks or other scenery at the entrance of the park, properly hide the scenery in the park, restrict the line of sight, and also guide tourists to change their tour routes.

In the garden, restraint is for better display. As the saying goes, "if you want to promote, you should restrain first". After the visitors have surmounted many obstacles, their future is suddenly bright, which can better reflect an infinite meaning.

3. Every scene

Use of white walls, balconies, hedges, etc. Dividing the space and separating the scenic spots makes the scenery inside and outside the courtyard very different. This beautification technique is called landscape isolation. The scenery is separated by "partition", separated by the depths of the courtyard, and separated by quiet and interesting scenery.

The east area of Liuyuan is separated from the north area by a wall. The east area is spacious, with mountains and rocks, which is wonderful. In the north, vines are set up, peaches and apricots are planted, and bonsai is arranged, which still has the pastoral charm of its heyday. The white wall opens the moon door, and the brick forehead of "another village" is embedded in it. When visitors come here, they can't help thinking that "the mountains and rivers are not recovered, and there is another village." Separated by a wall, the scenery has long been different.
