Why are the essences of China's gardens in Suzhou?

Suzhou has formed a unique Suzhou garden with its unique geographical and natural conditions and strong humanistic culture.

Suzhou was the capital of the Kingdom of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, with dense water networks and favorable natural environment in the south. Jiangnan area has been rich since ancient times, and its economy and cultural civilization are very developed.

The beautiful natural environment and rich economy have given birth to many dignitaries and tycoons, while Suzhou has always been rich in culture, combining economy with culture, natural trees and the manor of dignitaries have made the foundation of Suzhou gardens.

after the southern song dynasty, the capital moved to the south, and Suzhou was a prosperous place of culture and economy. The influx of a large amount of capital is suitable for the natural environment where people live, where the style of writing is concentrated, and because there are water, trees, mountains and stones in the natural conditions, garden landscaping is very convenient. In particular, the unique Taihu stone, which is small in size and full of weather, and can take water anytime and anywhere, creates a microcosm of famous mountains and rivers in a small square inch, and brings unlimited visual enjoyment, becoming a culture.

there were more than 28 private gardens in Ming and Qing dynasties. Even now, there are more than 6 intact places.

In these gardens, we can see the superb gardening art of ancient gardens, one scene at a time, and the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland are artistically displayed in the gardens. Exquisite layout, profound thoughts, beautiful senses, and quiet in the middle of trouble.

Moreover, Suzhou gardens are combined with traditional culture, and there are countless poems and plaques bearing the style of writing and history.

moreover, Suzhou gardens are well preserved, unlike other places, which have been greatly damaged and gone.

So the essence of China gardens is in Suzhou. Because Suzhou is a living witness of history. Witnessed the changes and development of China gardens, and kept the excellent traditional culture of China.

This is my personal opinion, and I hope it will help you.
