Why is there such a big difference between Chinese and foreign landscape architecture?

Due to different historical culture, geographical location, climatic conditions and political and economic background, Chinese and foreign architectural styles are very different.

China's architectural style has a long history and is influenced by traditional culture and religious beliefs. For example, palace buildings in China usually use a lot of red, gold and green to represent imperial power and good luck. China's ancient architecture often pays attention to the concept of harmony between man and nature, and emphasizes the harmony with nature.

Foreign architectural styles are also influenced by their different historical culture, geographical location and climatic conditions. For example, European architecture often uses a lot of details and arches, which may be influenced by ancient Greek architecture. American architectural styles tend to be more modern, focusing on functionality and economic benefits.

In addition, the political and economic background will also have an impact on architectural style. For example, in capitalist countries, the architectural style is often simple and pure, focusing on functionality and volume. In capitalist countries, architectural styles tend to be more diversified, focusing on decoration and privacy.
