First, He told about what is a garden.(Including Chinese Garden and Foreign Garden) Second,he told us different forms of garden(also about Chinese Garden and Western Garden)Third, he told about Gardens'Art features.
①What is a garden?The word "garden" in Chinese is 园林(yuan Lin) .The word "yuan"include walls,soil and trees.So,Chinese gardens are very natural.These are some of the ancient explanation Gardens.Now,gardens are made of plants, rocks, water, and other material and use science to create the place to relax for people.
②The form of gardens.In China,Thearistocratic palace garden is the earliest form of garden.But,in West garden means “Mysterious jungle”.There have four Chinese garden types.They are Royal Garden,Private Garden,Temple Garden,and Landscape Garden.The most famous gardens are Su Zhou gardens.They called "The ancient city forest","The live history and culture",and"Into the landscape".Suzhou gardens with the geographical and cultural environment have great relevance.
③The art of garden features.Stone, mountain, and water design is an essential part of garden.Designers imitate rivers, lakes, sea, and mountains to design.
I think Chinese garden is a great project.Designers originality and they use their wisdom to creat a beautiful world for us.In particular, I like the quiet garden of the Chinese temperament.If I have chance, I will more research for gardens.
