What are the artistic features of Suzhou gardens?

Suzhou classical gardens, also known as "Suzhou Gardens", are the general names of China classical gardens located in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Suzhou classical gardens can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, developed to the Jin and Tang Dynasties, flourished in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Suzhou is called "the city of gardens". The private gardens in Suzhou were built in the 6th century. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 70 gardens/kloc-0, and there are more than 50 existing gardens.

Generally speaking, Suzhou gardens have three characteristics. First, the landscape of the garden imitates nature: take natural landscape as the theme, adjust measures to local conditions, artificially imitate natural scenery, build ponds along Fulei Mountain, skillfully build pavilions, decorate trees, and emphasize poetry and painting. Second, the garden pays attention to elegance and tranquility: the landscape of the garden is small and big, and it is borrowed from the inside and outside, with pictures in the paintings, natural layout, beautiful and solemn. Third, the national style should be highlighted in the construction of the park: the ancient buildings in the park should be integrated by artistic means such as painting, calligraphy and poetry. There are poems in the scenery and paintings in the poems, which are the crystallization of ancient culture and art in China.

Humble Administrator's Garden, located at Loumen in the northeast corner of Suzhou City, is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou. Humble Administrator's Garden was originally the residence of Lu Guimeng, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was converted into Dahong Temple in the Yuan Dynasty.
