Case analysis of traditional garden aesthetics

"Garden" is a beautiful natural environment and recreational environment created in a certain area by using engineering technology and artistic means, by transforming the terrain (or further building mountains, stacking rocks and managing water), planting flowers and plants, building and arranging garden roads.

Broadly speaking, garden art is also a type of architectural art. The three major garden systems in the world, including oriental gardens (represented by China gardens), European gardens (represented by French gardens) and Arabic gardens, all have high artistry and appreciation. Gardens in China can be divided into two systems: the large royal gardens in the north and the small private gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.

As a kind of practical art, the basic feature of garden art is the combination of practicality and aesthetics, technology and artistry. However, the actual function of gardens is mainly for people's entertainment and enjoyment. This special use function requires gardens to pay more attention to aesthetics and artistry. Especially the traditional garden art in China has become an important part of our national cultural treasure house. In the history of China literature and art, many touching poems and songs in ancient times were often expressed by means of garden scenery; Many paintings handed down to this day also depict the beauty of gardens; Many literary works are inseparable from gardens, such as the Grand View Garden in A Dream of Red Mansions. Even some drama stories took place in the garden, such as the Peony Pavilion, the representative work of Tang Xianzu in the Ming Dynasty. It was in the back garden that the heroine Du Liniang was moved by this scene and felt sad. It can be seen that China's garden art is closely related to China's paintings, China's poems, China's plays and China's literature, and has many cultural, historical, aesthetic and artistic values. To appreciate China gardens, we should not only appreciate its natural beauty and architectural beauty, but also pay attention to its cultural beauty. The latter is the essence and core of China gardens.

The real essence and core of China gardens is its cultural beauty. In particular, China garden art is deeply rooted in the fertile soil of national culture, so it has a strong national style and color. Traditional gardens in China are more attractive because they combine the beauty of scenery, art and culture. In China's garden art, there are very rich aesthetic thoughts. The Summer Palace uses various artistic techniques such as borrowing scenery, dividing scenery and dividing scenery to create a sense of space beauty. The design of the whole garden is distinct, varied, virtual and real, tortuous and implicit, surrounded by mountains and waters, with endless charm, sometimes cheerful and sometimes secluded scenery, like a gradually unfolding picture scroll, which makes people memorable, quite elegant and interesting, and creates infinite artistic conception in a limited environment.
