What are the characteristics of Yanshan Garden?

A prominent feature of Yanshan Garden, which is different from other Lingnan gardens, is the overall idea of making full use of the real natural conditions of mountains and rivers and integrating mountains, water and caves. "Stacking mountains and stones is very important in the traditional gardening art in China. Gardens, regardless of north and south, are almost everywhere, and there must be strange stones. Therefore, some people think that rocks should be juxtaposed with buildings, water, flowers and trees, and * * * is one of the four elements that constitute classical gardens. " In the classical gardens in China, whether it is the royal gardens in the north, private gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, or even Lingnan gardens belonging to the same category as Yanshan gardens, most of them rely on manual methods to create a kind of artistic conception close to mountains and rivers. The unique natural conditions like Yanshan Garden, which integrates mountains, water and caves, are really rare. This is also an important reason why Tang Yue, the master, chose this land of geomantic omen to build a garden. Tang Yue has created a landscape garden by making full use of existing natural resources such as mountains, water and caves. At the same time, pay attention to highlight the main buildings in the garden-Hantong Building, Cheng Yan Pavilion and Biyun Lake Building. Royal gardens in the north, private gardens in the south of the Yangtze River and most Lingnan gardens lack natural landscapes, and most of them artificially pile up artificial rockeries such as Taihu Stone, Huangshi and Shi Ying in the gardens. Yanshan Garden has Ruzhongshan in the north and Zhu Fang in the south, and Zhufangshan has natural stalactite caves-Acacia Cave, with grotesque stalagmites and stalactites. In the open space between Fangzhushan and Ruzhongshan, the owner dug Biyun Lake. The calm lake water combined with the movement of Qingluoxi flowing from Xiang Si Cave gives people a beautiful landscape, which fully embodies the beauty, strangeness, danger and seclusion of Guilin's landscape. With the help of green hills, clear water and secluded caves, Yanshan Garden has a general layout and created a unique Lingnan landscape.
