What are the three elements of China gardens?

The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are good at water features, and the water and stones set each other off, which constitutes the main landscape of the garden. Taihu Lake produces strange stones, exquisite and colorful, planted in the courtyard, which can be appreciated. Song Huizong Yinggenyue has set up a flower stone gang to carry the stone peaks in Taihu Lake, but there are still sporadic relics, such as Yu Linglong in Shanghai Yuyuan Garden, Crepe Yunfeng in Hangzhou Botanical Garden and Ruiyunfeng in Suzhou. Besides Taihu Stone, there are Xuan Shi Huangshi, etc.

There are many flowers and trees.

Tall trees are shaded by the scorching sun, and simple or beautiful trees (such as pine and willow) are planted for viewing, supplemented by the color and fragrance of flowers, fruits and leaves (such as osmanthus, red maple, kumquat, wintersweet and autumn chrysanthemum). There are many bamboos in Jiangnan, and there are many kinds of bamboos. Green is the color of the garden all the year round, or plant more creepers and vines to increase the wild interest of the mountains and forests. Some people admire its sound, such as lotus leaves, plantains, birds singing and cicadas singing in the rain.

Extended data:

At all stages of world historical and cultural exchanges, China's "wonderful and natural" natural landscape garden theory and creative practice have had a great impact not only on Japanese, Korean and other Asian countries, but also on some European countries' garden art creation. Therefore, China gardens are regarded as one of the origins in the history of world gardening.

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, China's gardening techniques have been introduced to Japan, Korea and other countries. A monograph on gardening theory published in the late Ming Dynasty, Yuanye, flowed into Japan, and the title of the manuscript was Seize the Heaven. Until now, the names of many garden buildings in Japan are still in classical Chinese.

Especially in the13rd century, Italian traveler Kyle Poirot called the gardens of Hangzhou West Lake "the most beautiful and luxurious city in the world", which made the garden art of Hangzhou famous overseas. Today, it is a tourist attraction that tourists all over the world yearn for.
