dc.description.abstract

In every nation in the world, the garden is seen as a paradise on earth, an ʻenvironment created for the spiritʼ and ʻa form of second natureʼ. The Chinese garden is a composite cultural expression that combines the best of landscape, architecture, floriculture and all forms of art. Among the Chinese gardens, those of Suzhou are the most representative: they embody the fundamental genes of Chinese spirituality; they are the fruit of a millenary stratification of knowledge relating to the care of physical health, the cultivation of the spirit through poetry and the aesthetic fulfilment pursued by painting; they represent the expression of an oriental taste for elegance and romanticism and of a civilisation of living imbued with poetic sentiment.
