Which books are better for studying garden history?

The History of Classical Gardens in China is a systematic and comprehensive book, which is very helpful for beginners. If you need further study, you can study the ancient books listed upstairs.

In addition, I recommend Peng Yigang to analyze the classical gardens in China. It is very practical to study the history of landscape architecture. This book is very helpful from the perspective of modern space, with a large number of mapping and analysis maps.

History of western gardens

The book "Western Gardens" by Li Zhiruo and Zhu Jianning is relatively early, but it may not be. But you can look at Zhu Jianning, History of Western Gardens.
