GUEST ARTIST






Yeaterday , a garden artist came to our school to give us a wonderful lecture . His name is Zhao Bing , a famous artist of garden research in China . He show us something basis of the Chinese garden.First of all , we watched a vedio about the characteristics of the Chinese Garden . We were all attracted from the art of garden. Then Mr.Zhao told us that Chinese Garden Art is a kind of art that which one is based on the plants, stones , hills and water.It is a beautiful design of living area. Chinese Garden have four different forms and different forms has the different characteristics. One of the most famous Chinese Garden called "Su Zhou Garden".It represents one of these forms--Private Garden . Private Garden has four features that can be covered like "thin 、leakage、through and Wrinkle. These features make the Su Zhou Garden looked so symmetry and nice . Thin means tall and straight , leakage means open, through means visible, wrinkle means changeable.




Su Zhou is a special place that it is the birthplace of Tang poetry. So it is a city full of culture. Somebody says that Su Zhou Garden affected the culture and the culture made the Garden Art . That is the tureth. The ancients used their wisdom to create such a beatiful place with no modern skills and just plants ,water and stones .That is amazing.




Mr.Zhao also said that something is very magical so that I can not forget is the skills to put the pieces of stones together and people will not feel that is strange. The ancients put the pieces of stones by the order ---bigger ones in the above the smaller ones to creat the feeling of dignity. Also ,if we put the wrong order, what will you feel ?It may be very strange and people will not like it at all . How clever the Chinese ancients are !




At last, I want to say,stones are the bones of the Garden , water is the pulse of the Garden. Then use these things to make a garden meticulously.That is what we need to know from the Chinese Garden on the basis.




p.s. It is terrible to translate the Chinese Proper nouns to English , It may be a lot of grammar mistakes in the article. I am feel so sad/sorry about it .(—.—)
