GUEST ARTIST

On December 1st, we listened to a lecture about Suzhou classical gardens by a professor who named Zhao Bin. I love the beautiful gardens very much. He gave us a thorough appreciation about Suzhou classical gardens.
He talked about three points:



  • What is "garden"?
    First, he talked about the meaning of the Chinese word "garden"("园"). Every part of the word represents somethings in the garden. Then, he talked about thoughts of gardens of people in different countries and different gardens in different countries. He also said that there are four main kinds of gardens in China : Imperial gardens; Private gardens; Temple gardens; Scenic gardens.

  • The overview of Suzhou classical garden.
  • Zhao Bin said that the Suzhou classical gardens also known as forests in cities; the live history and culture; the landscape painting that can be entered; the wonderful art that nourished by local.

  • The artistic characteristics of Suzhou classical garden.

There are four artistic characteristics . The first is separated from the water and cut hill.The second is, although the rockery was made by humans, look like natural. He said that to appreciate the rockery of taihu lake , you should pay attention to four points :thin ,leakage,transparent,wrinkle. The third is to pile rockery. Stones are stacked and become a whole thing. There are two artists famous at this area ,they are Zhang Nanhuan and Ge Yuliang. The fourth is to order water.

I learned a lot today, it's so amazing that there are so many knowledge in classical gardens. Before I just think that gardens are beautiful , but have no connotation, now, I know that there are many Chinese culture in it. Next summer, I will go to Suzhou classical gardens to see the true view and learn more about it . Chinese people are so great! Maybe I will focus on it in the future,I want to have such a wonderful garden in my dream house.I want to let everyone in the world know about the great gardens and the great Chinese culture .
