Among the classical gardens in China, what is the typical style of Jiangnan Garden?

Jiangnan gardens have three remarkable characteristics:

First, pile stones to control water. The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are good at water features, and the water and stones set each other off, which constitutes the main landscape of the garden. Taihu Lake produces strange stones, exquisite and colorful, planted in the courtyard, which can be appreciated. Song Huizong Yinggenyue has set up a flower stone gang to carry the stone peaks in Taihu Lake, but there are still sporadic relics, such as Yu Linglong in Shanghai Yuyuan Garden, Crepe Yunfeng in Hangzhou Botanical Garden and Ruiyunfeng in Suzhou. Besides Taihu Stone, there are Xuan Shi Huangshi, etc. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a number of famous Jiangnan gardening artists appeared, such as Zhou, Zhou, Yuan, Shi Tao and Ge, who made outstanding contributions to the garden art.. Gedie Mountain, represented by the rockery of Suzhou Huanxiu Mountain Villa, is still intact. Yellowstone lake rockery in Yanyuan, Changshu has lost its old view after restoration. ?

Second, there are many kinds of flowers and trees with reasonable layout. According to the tradition of gardens in China, although the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are based on nature, they are by no means overgrown and disorderly. The arrangement principle is generally as follows: tall trees are shaded by the scorching sun, and simple or beautiful trees (such as pine trees and willow trees) are planted for viewing, supplemented by the color and fragrance of flowers, fruits and leaves (such as osmanthus, red maple, kumquat, wintersweet and autumn chrysanthemum). There are many bamboos in Jiangnan, and there are many kinds of bamboos. Green is the color of the garden all the year round, or plant more creepers and vines to increase the wild interest of the mountains and forests. Some people admire its sound, such as lotus leaves, plantains, birds singing and cicadas singing in the rain. ?

Third, the architectural style is elegant and simple. Jiangnan gardens follow the track of literati gardens and are elegant and elegant. Free layout, simple architecture, proper hall layout, informal structure, pavilions and cloisters, contrary to the rigid symmetry of palaces, temples and houses, it is famous for its freshness and freedom. This style of literati garden was later adopted by government offices, temples, halls, courtyards attached to academies and even royal gardens. The buildings in Genyue, Song Huizong and Yuan Zhong are white houses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are not brilliant. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the three mountains and five gardens in Beijing (see Yuanmingyuan) and the summer resort in Jehol were all built by imitating the artistic conception of Jiangnan gardens. For example, the humorous garden in Qingyi Garden imitates Jichang Garden, and the Sisi Lee Bookstore in Yuanmingyuan imitates Haining An Lan Garden; Xiaojin Mountain and Yuyan Building in the Summer Resort are modeled after the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. All these show that Jiangnan gardens, characterized by poetic literati gardens, have become the mainstream of China gardens since the Song Dynasty. When the northern scholar-bureaucrat camp was first built, famous teachers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were often invited to paint for it.
