Every blade of grass, every brick and tile, and even the style of pavilions and terraces in an old-style courtyard embodies the owner's ambition, or interest. Most traditional Chinese courtyards have varying layouts. Rockeries, flowing water, trees, flowers and plants, a new scene at every step. The Chinese courtyard is, in fact, more of an art, the art of harmony between man and nature. With its exquisite layout and unique atmosphere, Chinese courtyards always offer you countless surprises. In Chinese courtyards, water is absolutely indispensable. Bring mountain spring water into the garden, plant a few lotus flowers, and raise a few koi carps. It is very interesting to combine movement with stillness. How can there be no rockery if there is water? Strange peaks and rocks, as long as they catch the owner's eye, can find a suitable place to be placed, and mountains and hills will appear in a small space. Among the flowers, on both sides of the pond are paths made of stones or slabs. After the continuous autumn rain, thick green moss quietly emerges from the cracks in the stones. However, the most special design of Chinese courtyards is the hollow windows on the walls. The windows have different shapes and patterns. The same thing is that through the hollow window, the scenery on the opposite side is inlaid on the wall like a painting. This kind of window is called an "empty window", and because it looks like the moon, it is called a "moon hole". "The lush green locks the window, the quiet courtyard is peaceful, and the bright moon shines on people." On a quiet night, a guzheng is placed in front of the moon cave. Playing a piece of music on the piano, how relaxing it is! How free and easy! In addition to the windows on the wall, there are also wooden hollow flower windows. The sunlight passed through the stained glass windows, casting patches of shadows on the ground. When it rains, water drops fall on the bricks and tiles, making a dripping sound. Along with the sound of rain, holding a scroll of paper in my hand, it seems as if the hustle and bustle of the world is isolated from the sound of rain. After the rain, all things begin to sprout, and the flowers planted in the courtyard are quietly blooming. There should also be bamboo and trees in the courtyard. Only in this way can the lush greenness remain when the flowers fade. Unmoved by praise or criticism, I leisurely watch the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard. I have no intention of staying or leaving, I just follow the clouds in the sky. What you see before your eyes are no longer reinforced concrete buildings, but only greenery. Sitting in the courtyard is like sitting among mountains and rivers. Every flower is a world, every tree is a floating life, every smile is a worldly connection, and every thought is a tranquility. The unity of man and nature is nothing more than this. Compared with Western gardens, Chinese gardens are not as symmetrical or regular, but they have winding paths and blend into nature, making people feel more peaceful. It is a valuable asset of Chinese culture and the embodiment of the essence of Chinese culture. Unique and exquisite. This is the Chinese courtyard, which cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world. |
