Distant mountains stretch like dark hues, their peaks interwoven in intricate formations, as if reviving the poetic lyricism of Su Shi’s verses: "The rippling waters gleam in the clear light, while the misty mountains are equally wondrous in the rain." This scene blends the tranquility and transformation of landscapes, seamlessly merging the poetry of nature with the vitality of space. The overall design adheres to the concept of "channeling water, refining jade, and perfecting jade," drawing from the essence of ancient and modern garden-making wisdom. It skillfully achieves the flow and closure of space while tracing literary traditions, with seasonal scenery that shifts with the changing seasons, harmoniously combining the beauty of the four seasons with the charm of space. Throughout the design process, the designer drew inspiration from the elegant simplicity of the Humble Administrator’s Garden, crafting a spatial ambiance rich in natural rustic charm.
