Ⅳ. 任务型阅读 (主题: 人与自然·园林景观)
Classical Chinese gardens are purposely designed(设计) so that no matter where you stand, you can never see the whole thing at once. The mystery and the discovery have helped the classical gardens in China, especially those in Suzhou, remain popular attractions after all these years.
To put it simply, the aim of a classical Chinese garden is to deepen one's admiration(钦佩) for nature. Besides just relaxing in nature, the classical Chinese gardens have another purpose—to inspire artistic expression like poetry, literature or painting. Nearly all Chinese gardens feature the things listed below.
Water
Water is a necessary thing that no Chinese garden can go without. The water in a garden typically symbolises a lake or even the ocean. Water can even symbolise communication, movement and dreams.
Rocks
Large rocks typically symbolise mountains. Many of the rocks in Suzhou gardens come from Taihu Lake, having been shaped by the flow of water over thousands of years. Smaller rocks are often on show in the fancy halls at a garden's entrance. This shows the appreciation(欣赏) the garden owners had of these rocks.
Plants
You can't have a garden without plants. Different plants and flowers are used for either symbolic or aesthetic(美学的) purpose—or both. Bamboo, for example, represents strength. Flowers, meanwhile, add colour to a garden, with each carrying a symbolic meaning of its own.
Gates & Windows
Gates in different shapes divide a garden into different parts. The most common type of gate, the moon gate, is simply a circle. Windows are placed throughout the garden to allow the passage of light. You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window.
Pavilions(亭)
In Chinese gardens, pavilions are usually placed in some of the best viewing places. Sometimes a pavilion is placed where one can see the reflection(倒影) of the moon at night, or in the best place to listen to the sound of rain on the leaves above. In the past, pavilions were used as places for garden owners to reflect, paint and write poems.
