The natural and harmonious beauty of traditional Chinese architecture

    The architectural beauty of China is manifested through the subjection of individual beauty to the whole and the integration of parts into unity. This reflects the holistic consciousness advocated by the Aesthetic psychology of the Chinese nation under the guidance of the philosophical thinking of the unity of man and nature.

    Of course, the unified thought of feudal imperial power and patriarchal clan system also had negative effects of closure, inheritance and inhibition, which also led to the simple and conservative architectural format of Chinese Han people, and the lack of European architectural style with grand conception, broad vision, complex techniques and romantic atmosphere.

    Taoism has had a profound influence on Chinese society, economy and culture. The embodiment of Traditional Chinese architecture is that the site selection, layout, design and construction of buildings respect nature as much as possible, pay attention to the harmony with nature, and pay special attention to the inner artistic conception rather than the pursuit of external luxury. 

    Chinese culture pursues unity and harmony with nature. Now it seems that this aesthetic view of respecting nature has survived for a long time and is still shining in architectural aesthetics.

    The layout of traditional Chinese gardens is usually in the form of free change according to local conditions. Suzhou garden is not only feasible, can be expected, can travel, but also can live, visitors to wherever they go, the eyes are always a combination of artificial and natural, orderly layout of pavilions, terraces, terraces, rockery ponds and ponds with proper coordination, flowers and trees set off, close perspective stacked, wan tiancheng, full of rhyme outside the beautiful picture.
