The most obvious pieces were created by artists of the Swabian school, Matthias Gr?newald and Albrecht D?rer.

    How-to-design-a-Chinese-garden-in-our-home

    Gardens that Chinese regard as a serious art form and as with painting, sculpture and poetry aims to achieve balance in their design, harmony, proportion and variety that are considered essential for life. In fact, there is a saying: ‘The garden is an artistic recreation of nature, a landscape painting in three dimensions.

    Chinese-garden-style-house-river-and-trees

    Chinese-garden-style-house-river-and-trees

    “Through a combination of natural elements such as rocks, water, trees, flowers and artificial elements as as architecture, painting and poetry, the designer wanted to achieve an effect that is adhered to the Taoist principles of balance and harmony, man and nature.
    The Chinese garden is divided into three categories: the imperial garden, private garden and natural scenic site.

    Chinese-garden-style-with-original-Chinese-wall-and-trees

    The first imperial garden dating back to the late Shang Dynasty (c. 1600-1027 BC) with the construction of an imperial hunting ground, followed by the garden Shanglin Qinshihuangdi built by the emperor in his capital at Xianyang. The latter was completed by Emperor Han Wudi (r. 140-87 BC) and is believed to have been the basis on which the Summer Palace was designed.

    Chinese-architecture-Chinese-garden-style-with-river-and-trees

    Chinese-architecture-Chinese-garden-style-with-river-and-trees

    The first private garden, also known as a garden for lawyers, appeared during the dynasties of North and South (420-589). Natural scenic spots, which were built large-scale gardens against the backdrop of naturally existing mountain, valleys, lakes, etc, were used as places of recreation of the imperial family and nobility.
    Of the three types of Chinese gardens is the private garden which is of interest to visit the “Garden City” of Suzhou. They are the most intimate of the group and were created as a place of retreat for the gentleman and scholar to escape the chaos of the city. It was during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) that the literary garden reached its height, a treatise on garden design is written in 634 by the painter-gardener Ji Cheng. One of the key elements of this treaty was the need for the garden “look natural, but man.” Also highlighted the harmonious combination of opposites, ie small and large, of revelation and concealment of the real and the unreal, and the vertical and horizontal.
    A common feature of Chinese garden architecture is the flag shore – a derivation of an old wooden house on stilts sustained.

    Typical-Chinese-architecture-Chinese-garden-style-river-and-green-plants

    Typical-Chinese-architecture-Chinese-garden-style-river-and-green-plants

    Later it became fashionable to build pavilions on the shore of the lake or pond in a garden for half of the structure was built on land, while the other half was raised on stilts above a body of water. In order to view the garden from all parts of the building, decorative windows were placed along the periphery of the wall. This flag can be seen on shore the Humble Administrator’s Garden.

    Chinese-house-with-garden-and-river

    Chinese-house-with-garden-and-river

    Another key element of Chinese gardens is its covered walkways, built to allow owners to enjoy the garden in the rain and snow. These covered walkways are divided into two categories, those that connect the buildings and those built by the edge of a pond or lake. As with edge flags, runners often have windows or openings performing “, which act as picture frames direct the eye to particular views of the garden. These opening scenes were designed simply as circles, squares or ovals or more imaginative ways like a lotus petal, garlands and bay leaf.
    Often, the most exquisite Chinese gardens can be found in the details. Such is the case of trails, imaginative drawings with colored pebbles in a variety of designs along the ground. A common reason is to square a circle, which means the old belief that “heaven is round and square earth.” Good luck omens can also often be found. While the bat and the crane symbolizes good fortune and longevity, wealth portends fishing net. There is also often representations of scenes from the traditional well-known paintings and legends.
    The Garden of the Master of Nets is one of the smallest gardens in Suzhou, but also consider one of its finest. Built in the twelfth century, and then, after a period of neglect, restored in the eighteenth century, was the residence of a retired officer. The eastern part of the reason was the residential area, the central section of the main garden and the western part of the garden. Humble Administrator’s Garden was named after the Jin dynasty (1115-1234) a poem that read: “Water the garden and selling vegetables Humble Administrator is a business.” Originally the home of the Tang poet, Lu Guimou, the garden acquired its present form during the Ming Dynasty and is perhaps one of the most representative of the Ming Dynasty garden designs.

    How-to-create-the-most-beautiful-garden-in-the-Japanese-style

    If you’re planning to establish a new landscape plan for your garden can be useful to have an idea on decided to make it easier for you and also less complex and consistently. Japanese style landscape garden design is a very popular choice because either give peace projects, they can create their own Japanese retreat in your own garden.

    Japanese-beutiful-garden-bridge-and-trees-with-red-leaves

    Japanese-beutiful-garden-bridge-and-trees-with-red-leaves

    Western garden design takes elements of water, stone and plants from nature and turns them into something that is rarely found in the real world. Japanese gardens, on the other hand, seeks to sort the items as a reflection of reality. Nature in Japanese thought, must be respected and not manipulated, while Western designs tend to strive to create as unique and eccentric arrangements possible artificially so that the original natural subject is now far from its original form.
    As plants and trees, Japanese garden introduces artistic characteristics of rocks and sand, arranged in homage to nature. For example, mounds of earth and ponds are designed to produce proportional representation of mountains and lakes or oceans.

    Japanese-garden-style-with-green-plants-and-river-with-stones

    Japanese-garden-style-with-green-plants-and-river-with-stones

    There are three major Japanese garden design that can replicate in your own garden:
    Hill and Lake Gardens: Pond fronts hill or hills. In the lake may actually be water or it is represented by raked gravel. The hills may be small mounds lands intended to represent the mountains, but everyone should be in proportion to the rest. Plants from the mountain, must coincide born in mountainous areas. Stroll gardens with paths to follow always the hill and lake.

    Garden Apartment: This is a garden for contemplation. This is a Zen Buddhist influence, using sand and other rocks to indicate to the beach. Again, the plants used to be common to seaside areas. Apartment gardens are located in the yard.
    Tea Garden: In the tea garden is a greater function than form. There is a trail to the pond before entering the tearoom. There may be stone lanterns, but otherwise the features are sparse. Tea garden by a tea house approach is to be calm and soothing as a village.

    Japanese-garden-with-wooden-bridge-red-plants-and-tree-with-white-colors

    Japanese-garden-with-wooden-bridge-red-plants-and-tree-with-white-colors

    In all projects, however, never Japanese gardens try to create something that nature itself can not. Treatment and interaction elements of the garden is a very different approach to our Western methods.Water GardenWhen the water points are installed in a Japenese garden done so in a way that makes them look as natural as possible, and the water will move in a natural way so that you rarely see the fountain as in Japenese garden. It is common for water to be used as the leachate flow to mimic a lake or waterfall, if used as a waterfall, however, efforts should be conseal water pump, so it looks as natural as possible.Commonly used in Japanese waters are what are known as “deer channels, this is a hollow bamboo rod that fills with water, then hit the pool tips and a slight tapping noise. This was to discourage deer from drinking from the pool, this is because Japanese gardens thought to be important that water be kept clean and pure.Traditional Japanese plantsJapanese landscaping uses only plants that are native, and aims to put them as the rest of the layout of the garden. When the lake is presented, the plants used will be near those found in the nature of the lakes and their size will be compared with that of the lake, which means lake. Western gardens compare many types of plants in various shapes, colors and sizes, and plant them where looks pleasing to the eye. Although innovative, the result is unnatural. It is considered bad taste for Japanese garden display overt exotic plants.Due to their realistic aesthetic, evergreens are common in Japanese models. Trees, perennials, shrubs and help to show the transition in the garden of the season and time. On the other hand, Western gardeners no qualms about planting colorful, elaborate flowers that would not have arisen without some help. Japanese tend to focus on the whole look of the garden, flowers so dramatic statements are not binding. Instead, deciduous plants that bloom seasonally or color is implanted. They use a common plants as this is a valid representation of the natural world, and because the garden is to serve the purpose of relaxation and reflection as a whole picture rather than as the sum of its parts.Garden ornaments and sculptures
    Western Garden celebrates the use of sculpture as a focal point in the garden. Carefully positioned sculptures were used to look to one object above all his time and leadership. Ornaments are used as design accents, or just strange additions that reflect our personalities. Western gardeners like to demonstrate the design of human and highlight their manipulation of the garden while gardening the Japanese trying to look as natural origin, and every object in the garden is a compliment its surroundings and feel of the garden as a whole. In a Japanese garden, the journey is as important as the destination, so large focal sculptures at the end of the road will only be a distraction.
    Decoration can be created using stone and rock formations. The main types of stones which are artistically used high vertical rocks, low vertical tilt of stone and curved stone. Often they are located asymmetrically in groups of three, five or seven. To create a stepping stone path, the stones should be increased to about 1-3 inches from the ground, but should feel firm as if they belonged on earth.
    Garden of the West tend to put much furniture and seating and plant containers and many forms of sculpture, especially in ponds. Japanese ornaments than willing to be minimized. Objects that are used have a bearing on the shape of the garden and help to create a feeling. They are not essential, but still contribute to the overarching idea of the landscape.
    Especially in tea gardens (apart from tea house), you will find stone water basins and stone lanterns. Water basins are kept low so that one must kneel in reverence to wash. Basin as a lantern is made of stone to blend into its natural environment.
    Increasing complexity of features to provide greater point of contemplation. Japanese gardens are nice, reflective places can be consider a position in relation to nature. Features are designed to make you pause for thought. Bridge especially made time to contemplate the journey through the garden and in life. Bridges, such as roads, represents your spiritual journey. Complicated or important road bridge means, and often pass through the water. It should also be noted the more formal gardens: a formal object.
    Use of space in the gardens
    Japanese gardening takes a holistic approach is designed for landscape effect and its appearance as a whole, in order to establish a clear natural, meditative, atmosphere. The Western view of the garden is often to divide it into segments. Large spaces tend to be separated from the portal or hedges, and various parts of the garden can be arranged in accordance with a slightly different topic, or geometry.

    Japanese-tea-garden-with-green-grass-and-trees

    In Western gardens certainly is empty garden space to use just any playground or animals are used, but the Japanese garden space left intentionally to create a final form of the garden as a whole more. This can be seen in how the functions in a Japanese garden may be placed throughout the garden, where in a typical Western garden features are placed along the edge of the garden to give maximum space in the garden.Garden Presentation
    The presentation of Japanese gardens is such that a visitor to the garden you can see it from one angle. The viewer is led around the garden as a result of time or set the path so that all aspects of the garden can be seen only from one direction. All plants and ponds are carefully arranged so as to create a desired effect to one’s perspective.
    This differs greatly to the Western attitude with which visitors to the garden can move freely in all directions and to see the planting schemes from several perspectives. When a plant arrangement or function is installed, gardener considered from all angles, so that makes it attractive overall impression rather than transmission range principle.
    Where possible, Japanese landscaping may include the concept of nature employed (Shakkei).

They may be surrounded by plants or stones to highlight his foreign presence can then be interpreted in its own way in your garden. Therefore, truly reflects the belief that gardens should be harmonized part of the natural world.
