The earliest attested Chinese garden appears during the Shang Dynasty, from 1766 BC and 1122 BC. The Chinese Garden is a place for solitary or social contemplation of nature. The design of Chinese gardens was to provide a spiritual utopia for one to connect with nature, to come back to one's inner heart, to come back to ancient idealism. Chinese gardens are a spiritual shelter for people, a place they could be far away from their real social lives, and close to the ancient way of life, their true selves, and nature. The design of a garden drew on such diverse fields as botany, hydraulics, history, literature, architecture and most importantly, Feng Shui. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese
philosophy of understanding the energy that surrounds us and
it deals with using positive 'chi' or energy to improve a person's
good fortune and success. In the Chinese language each character
can be translated and interpreted differently. Feng Shui (pronounced
as Fung Shwey) is translated as "the way of wind and water"
or "the natural forces of the universe." According
to Feng Shui these natural forces influence everything in the
world. The ancient Chinese lead their lives according to these
natural forces. |
