In the ancient gardens of China, how is the fusion of architectural beauty and natural beauty and the interest of poetry and painting expressed?

It is manifested in the organic organization of China landscape architecture and other elements, which coordinate and complement each other; Emphasize the realm of "harmony between man and nature". There are various architectural forms, thanks to the use of wood frame structure, which can better integrate into the natural environment, and contains certain philosophies, such as "understanding the sky with gardens, taking squares as images, and holding the universe with mustard seeds".

No matter the number, nature and function of the classical garden buildings in China, they strive to be organically organized with the three gardening elements of mountains, water and flowers and trees in a series of landscape pictures. Highlight the positive aspects of mutual coordination and complementarity, and limit the negative aspects of mutual opposition and mutual exclusion.

Classical gardens in China originated from nature and are higher than nature.

Natural scenery takes mountains and water as the background and vegetation as the ornament. Mountains, water and plants are the basic elements of natural scenery, and of course they are also the elements of landscape architecture. However, the classical gardens in China are by no means the universal application or simple imitation of the original state of these landscape elements, but the conscious transformation, adjustment, processing and cutting of them, thus showing a simple and typical nature.

Only in this way, a large-scale natural landscape garden like the Summer Palace can reproduce the lakes and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River with typical characteristics on the northern land. This is one of the most important features of classical gardens in China, which is based on nature and superior to nature. This feature is particularly prominent in the artificial landscape garden's mountain building, water control and grass planting.
