Importance of the art of the garden in Chinese Cultural History
The Chinese art of the garden is representative of Chinese culture in the widest sense in that it combines the spirit of the three main world views of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism with the spirit of the great artistic traditions of architecture, landscape painting, and calligraphy. Its origin is mythically traced to Xiwei, a legendary sovereign of antiquity even anterior to the Yellow Emperor. Up to the Han, the gardens that have left any trace were scarcely more than simple parks. It is during the Six Dynasties, under the influence of the flourishing arts of landscape painting and poetry, that Chinese gardens acquired their specific character as representations of the natural world in miniature. In this form, garden architecture continued to evolve through ever greater stages of refinement, especially in the area South of the Yangzi, towards their perfection under the Ming and the Qing.
