Yesterday afternoon the school leaders brought a garden design expert, Mr. Zhao. He taught us a lot of knowledge on Chinese gardens and the differences between Chinese landscape garden and foreign garden. We were so lucky that can have a chance to learn so much interesting and useful knowledge.
We all know, gardens are used to be a place for people to relax, but now garden can also protect and improve the environment. As we knew our Chinese garden has thousands of history .Suzhou Classical gardens are the typical example of Chinese garden. Humble Administrator's Garden building in Suzhou development of the peak. It has a far-reaching artistic conception and elegant art and culture, so that can be the model of many classical gardens in Suzhou. Humble Administrator's Garden and the Beijing’s Summer Palace, ChengDe Mountain Resort, Suzhou stay Park and were referred to as China's four major classical gardens.
Chinese gardens are always connect with Chinese Traditional
Culture, many gardens were originated from some ancient poetry and some poets also got inspiration from different gardens.
The Suzhou classical gardens made the Residential and the view in-one .SO that people can live in a very beautiful environment and pursuit the harmony with nature .
I was particularly struck by Mr. Zhao’s introduction about the different kinds of stones in these gardens. I remembered that Mr. Zhao said the stone in the gardens were not naturally occurring ，some of them were made by people.
And he also told us how to choose stones. The top and the middle of the stones should bigger than the bottom of the stone. If some stones are connect with each other they should make a hole between them that people walk through the hole and feel the artistic of the garden.
Different gardens have different themes and artistic, some are exquisite, some are magnificent. We all proud of our ancestors could make so many beautiful spiritual wealth.
I really enjoyed yesterday Mr. Zhao’s speech ,he taught a lot about gardens and we all got many Benefits from his speech!
