New Aesthetic Cognition of Chinese Grey Tiles

    In traditional Chinese classical gardens, the use of gray tiles can be seen on the roofs of garden buildings such as halls, corridors, and pavilions. It can be used for landscape walls and partition walls, such as a Chinese landscape ink painting. It can also be used for garden paths and paving, allowing one to experience the exquisite Zen mind of lotus growing step by step. At the same time, it can also be used for garden sketches, tree pools, benches, and other combinations with plants or water features to experience a return to simplicity and nature. China clay grey tiles, as a traditional garden material and one of the carriers of traditional culture, have important garden value from ancient times to the present.

    In recent years, with the continuous development of the landscape industry, Chinese style, New Chinese style, New Asia style, and Zen style gardens have taken the mainstream. This is not only a tribute to Chinese classical gardens, but also a reflection of Chinese people's return to traditional culture and confidence in Chinese culture. In practice, it has promoted the deep cultivation and innovative development of modern landscape design in classical gardens.

                      
As a form of artistic expression, the formal characteristics of modern landscape design are guided by traditional craftsmanship, integrating modern design concepts and traditional concepts, and objectively enabling people to understand traditional Chinese garden materials, thereby further promoting the development and application of garden materials.

    In modern landscapes, with the development and progress of the industry, roof materials are becoming increasingly diverse, and their use also has a certain degree of convergence. Although the gray tile is lightweight and simple in color, its elegance and simplicity make designers still willing to maintain their pursuit of it. Based on the aesthetic interpretation of classical gardens, adopting new design techniques and expressions for green tiles not only preserves traditional cultural elements in modern landscapes, but also adds a sense of nostalgia and retro, which can form a new aesthetic understanding of gray tiles.
