How does Chinese gardening achieve the idea of ??"harmony between man and nature" through gardening techniques?

Chinese gardening art has far-reaching historical origins with Chinese literature and painting art. It is especially influenced by the freehand landscape paintings of literati in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is a model of freehand landscape simulation by literati. In the process of its development, Chinese gardens have formed two major series, including royal gardens and private gardens. The former is concentrated in Beijing, and the latter is represented by Suzhou. Due to the differences in political, economic, cultural status and natural and geographical conditions, there are obvious differences between the two in terms of scale, layout, volume, style, color, etc. The royal gardens are famous for their grandness, strictness, grandeur, and beauty, while Suzhou gardens are famous for their grandeur, strictness, grandeur, and beauty. Gardens are famous for their small, free, delicate, elegant and artistic style. Because the latter paid more attention to the harmony and unity of culture and art, the royal gardens that developed into the late period also drew heavily on the "freehand brushwork" techniques of private gardens in terms of artistic conception, creative ideas, architectural techniques, and humanistic content.

Classical gardens and houses are integrated into one, which can be admired, visited and lived in. This kind of architectural form is formed because in cities with dense population and lack of natural scenery, human beings are attached to nature and pursue harmony with nature. A kind of creation to get along with, beautify and improve one's own living environment

One of the important features of classical gardens is that it is not only a product of history and culture, but also a carrier of traditional Chinese thought and culture. It is reflected in the naming of garden halls, plaques, inscriptions, writing stones, carvings, decorations, as well as the meanings of flowers and trees, stacked stones to convey feelings, etc. They are not only exquisite works of art that decorate the garden, but also store a large amount of history, culture, thought and science. The information, material content and spiritual content are extremely deep and wide. Some of them reflect and spread various philosophical concepts and schools of thought such as Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism; some promote the philosophy of life and cultivate noble sentiments; and some use classical poetry and literature to embellish, develop, and exaggerate the garden landscape to make people feel happy. While enjoying the sightseeing, you can turn the scenery into emotions, produce artistic conception and gain spiritual satisfaction. The garden collects well-preserved handwritings of famous Chinese calligraphers from past dynasties, which are precious works of art and have extremely high cultural relic value.
