Chinese Gardens

Synopsis: The essence of a Chinese garden is said to be ‘infinite riches in a small room’ - harmony, proportion and variety. The key characteristics are: rocks, water, buildings, trees and vegetation in different combinations; glimpses through delicate lattice or file pattern openings or ‘moon gates’, or through gaps in rock or bamboo; reflections on water. These slides include examples from Suzhou, the Beijing area, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xian and date from as early as the Tang/T’ang dynasties (AD618-907).
