I have a dream. To create something like a Chinese garden. To enjoy the beauty of plants, walking along the paths in the shade of small trees.
The concept of a Chinese garden originated in ancient times, and since then the phenomenon has not been any changes. In China landscape design has always been equated with the art, and only as a result of laborious work of the artist the landscape has always seemed natural.
Created the laws of nature
The concept of a Chinese garden involves adherence to the laws of nature, where coexist the natural variability and constancy. Harmony and complete balance viewed in all elements of Chinese gardens: free space bordered by thick vegetation, plains with hills, and the land of water. These principles have long been known, they are mentioned in the Taoist teachings. To this day the principles of this neighborhood is successfully used in creating Chinese gardens.
Naturalness is an important principle of the creation of a Chinese garden. How many specialists worked on the creation of garden landscape, to look as a result it should like this natural creation, which is not touched by the hand of man.
Multidimensional perspective
As a rule, the Chinese gardens was a small area, and to visually increase it, was invented a system of multifaceted perspectives. The essence of this method is to divide the garden into parts by using the various elements: walls of buildings, galleries and other small sizes of buildings. And so walking through a garden seemed endless, and the path is longer than all paths, bridges and walkways were made winding. As a result, to reach this garden with one glance not possible, the panorama it is revealed gradually, like the unfolding of the scroll.
Elements of the universe in Chinese gardens
Like the "Yin" and "Yang" coexist in Chinese gardens, rocks and water. They represent the power of masculinity and give women. The water in the ponds and streams contributes to the accumulation and transfer of "Qi" – life energy, and the stones were considered an object of worship and the embodiment of cosmic force.
VIP seats for contemplation
In any Chinese garden necessarily contains pavilions, terraces for the tea ceremony and other places to stay. Each VIP box is given individual poetic name that describes the object of contemplation.
Traditional Chinese gardens are considered some types of plants. This peach and plum, which have been called the tree of happiness, bamboo, symbolizing the strength and resilience of human nature, miniature trees that carry a philosophical idea of containment in the small the great, and of course, the Lotus flower – symbol of spiritual purity and innocence. Being in such a beautiful garden, you feel an innocent creature, dependent neither on time nor worldly problems.
