Major elements in Chinese courtyard design

    The Chinese-style courtyard design inherits the literati thought of "In is hidden, out into the world", emphasizing the "harmony between man and nature" living realm that integrates with nature. The following introduces several major elements involved in Chinese courtyard design.

1. Water is indispensable

    How can Chinese gardens be less nourished by water? In the Chinese concept, water is an indispensable spirit in garden design. Generally speaking, if you want a large waterscape, you can create a double-layered water effect in the shape of ingots, or you can imitate a mountain spring and a small stream, and use Chinese-style landscape stones and rocks to build a rockery landscaping. When the designer piles rocks and rocks, it is like splashing ink, using different brushstrokes and different tones to form different visual effects and aesthetics. Just imagine: on the rocks, the water falls from a height, and in the middle is a pond in the shape of a curve, with spring water in the ears. The lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the pond are slim, and goldfish are playing in the middle...a beautiful Chinese painting

2. Bamboo is a combination of character and appearance to express ambition

    In Chinese classical garden design, special emphasis is placed on meaning in objects. People always like to regard natural scenery as a symbol of moral beauty, spiritual beauty and personality beauty, and bamboo, with its slender appearance and tough character, has become one of the most common plants in Chinese gardens. In addition, pine, plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, lotus, etc. are also representatives of "both appearance and appearance". When designing a Chinese-style courtyard, if the garden pieces such as rockery and landscape stones are planted with appropriate bamboo, they can add layers and colors to the mountain, presenting the natural trend and the beauty of the mountains and forests. Bamboo plants can also be combined with other plant materials to bring infinite poetic feelings into the garden.

3. Rattan is an ideal plant for vertical greening
    In the courtyard, the sky and the earth blend together. If at this time, a green vine crosses the white wall and winds upwards covered with leaves, or the whole wall is covered with dense vine leaves, then there will be more static pictures in the courtyard. A vibrant stroke. In addition to the climbing vines on the wall, the rattan tables and chairs placed by the pool along the path can also add a quaint charm to the courtyard. The naturalness and simplicity exuded around it symbolize a lifestyle of leisure and contentment. In addition, the lightweight rattan furniture is also easy to move, and the rattan table or rattan chair can be lifted with one hand, which is also one of the most suitable features for the courtyard.

4. the winding path garland narrow road is suitable for stone

    China has been very particular about courtyard paths since ancient times, and the choice of paving materials should be determined according to different environments. Generally speaking, the roads in Chinese courtyards are mostly tortuous, and the pavement can be made of small cobblestones or fancy pavements. If it is a more avant-garde modern style house, it is necessary to make a fuss about points and lines, colors and shapes. In addition, the conscious use of color changes in the floor design can also enrich and enhance the atmosphere of the space. Avoid large areas of pavement, which will increase the surface temperature, resulting in poor soil drainage and ventilation, which is also detrimental to the growth of flowers and trees. Therefore, in addition to the use of inlaid grass paving, we should also pay attention to the use of environmentally friendly paving materials with good water permeability and ventilation.
