Chinese classical garden landscape design is a traditional Chinese art form that emphasizes harmony with nature, incorporating elements like rocks, water, trees, and pavilions to create a tranquil and aesthetically pleasing environment. It originated during the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak during the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Key principles include the use of natural materials, the creation of panoramic views, and the manipulation of space to evoke a sense of infinity. These gardens are not only visually stunning but also serve as a reflection of Chinese philosophy and culture.
