What are the characteristics of Chinese garden landscape?

1. You can't live without water. Therefore, the garden must dig a pool to divert water. There are three ways to manage water in ancient gardens: covering, separating and breaking. Covering is to cover the winding pool shore with buildings and greening. The partition is to build a dike across the water surface, or to have a floating corridor to cross, or to build a tortuous slate bridge, or to wade through the water to step on the stone.

2. There are many plants. Flowers and trees are like the hair of mountains, and the waterscape has no beauty without flowers and trees. Natural gardens deliberately express natural beauty, and the selection criteria for flowers and trees are also very strict. When it comes to beautiful posture, the shape of the crown, the density of branches and the texture of bark, they all pursue natural beauty.

Second, talk about the beauty of color, such as red maple leaves, green bamboo leaves, mottled wolf elm, white magnolia, purple crape myrtle, etc., and strive to keep the natural color in the garden all year round; Third, the taste is fragrant, requiring plants to be elegant and quiet, not too strong, and suspected of being delicate; Don't be too light, it's hard to do it intentionally. Four stresses on the realm, the role of flowers and trees in setting off the landscape of garden rocks is often related to the spiritual realm of the garden owner.

3. Application of various buildings. For example, the use of leaky windows makes the space neither endless nor hinders the visual fluency. Looking through the leaky window, exquisite floral decorations and colorful patterns have strong national flavor and aesthetic value; Through the leaking window, bamboos are blurred and swaying, pavilions are hidden from time to time, and clouds fly far away, resulting in a deep and broad space realm and interest.

Garden buildings often have halls, corridors, pavilions, buildings and platforms. Artificial caves and stone steps all show natural beauty. All the buildings are in harmony with the natural environment such as the sky and the earth, and at the same time, all the parts in the garden are connected, so that the garden can reflect the artistic characteristics of nature, indifference, tranquility and implication, and receive the ornamental effects of changing scenery, getting better and better, and seeing the big picture from the small.
