Chinese courtyard, classical and restrained"Without walls, there is no courtyard; without enclosure, there is no air." Chinese courtyards emphasize the unity of man and nature. They blend into nature. A courtyard is a piece of heaven and earth. Whether it is Bai Juyi's "Songs and music return to the courtyard, lights are on the tower", or Ouyang Xiu's "How deep is the courtyard, willows are covered with smoke, and curtains are countless", they all reflect the characteristics of Chinese courtyards that are quiet, restrained and not ostentatious. Even Lin Yutang longed for a leisurely courtyard life: "There is a garden in the house, a house in the garden, a courtyard in the house, trees in the courtyard, the sky above the trees, and a watch in the sky. Isn't it wonderful!" American courtyard, open atmosphereNorth Americans have a very free and lively understanding of nature, and their courtyard designs are also built based on this. They are generally large in size, colorful, open and full of vitality! Lounge chairs, swings, barbecue grills, flowers, cedars, lawns... these are typical elements of American courtyards~ The flowers in the yard are brightly colored and blooming wildly! English courtyard, casual and naturalEnglish gardens have no ostentatious carvings or neatly trimmed flower nurseries; instead, they are landscapes that blend harmoniously with nature. Large areas of naturally grown flowers and plants, as well as trees that can be seen everywhere, are a major feature of English gardens! The landscaping materials in the courtyard are all taken from nature, mostly wood and stone, and the buildings also blend into nature with unique shapes~ Japanese garden, subtle and elegantThe Japanese garden is deeply influenced by the Chinese garden, but takes "dryness, silence, and tranquility" as the highest realm, and has a kind of Zen-like implicitness and elegance! The color matching is simple and capable, with exquisite attention to details, implicit but not revealing, pleasing to the eye and appreciative, with typical Japanese character traits. Mediterranean-style courtyard, leisurely and romanticThe basic color tones of the Mediterranean courtyard are mainly derived from the natural colors of the scenery and seascapes, such as the white of the beach, the blue of the sea water, the mud green of succulents and cacti, reflecting the naturalness and romance of an open-air life! Essential elements of the Mediterranean style: snow-white walls, tiled gardens, various swaying flower arrangements in ceramic jars, sea-blue background curtain walls, etc. |
