Rockery is a landscape mountain built with earth, stone and other materials in the garden. Rockery has many landscaping functions, such as constituting the main landscape or terrain skeleton of the garden, dividing and organizing the garden space, arranging the courtyard, revetment, slope protection, retaining soil, setting natural flower beds and so on.
It can also be combined with garden buildings, garden roads, sites and garden plants to form a varied landscape, so as to reduce artificial flavor, increase natural interest and make garden buildings integrate into the landscape environment. Therefore, rockery has become one of the characteristics of natural landscape gardens in China.
First, the most fundamental principle of rockery art is as follows:
What is true is false, and what is false is true. Natural landscape is the artistic source and foundation of rockery creation. Although Zhenshan is good, I don't go often. As a kind of art, the rockery is arranged near the house, which is more general and exquisite than the real mountain, and can contain people's thoughts and feelings, thus having the charm of "the beauty of the mountain and the love of the stone".
Man-made rockeries must try not to show traces of man-made, so it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. This rockery, which comes down in one continuous line with China's traditional landscape painting, is very interesting, because it looks real, but it is not.
The main principles of rockery are: phase layout (that is, selecting and combining environmental conditions to determine the framework and landscape of mountains and rivers), confusing the fake with the real; Distinguish between subject and object; Give consideration to the three distances (Lin Zhi, a painter of the Song Dynasty, said: "The mountain has three distances. Climbing up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain is noble; Looking at the mountain from the front is far-reaching; Looking at the distant mountain from the near mountain is called the plain. " ); According to the mountain.
According to the natural vein of water veins and rocks, piecemeal rock materials are piled up into a certain kind of rockery with a sense of integrity, so that it has a distant "potential" and "quality" and contrast, including size, straightness, retraction, lightness, ups and downs, reality, silence, seclusion, yin, back, danger and so on.
In the engineering structure, the main technology is to have a solid and durable foundation, rise layer by layer, and the stones bite and balance each other, so as to achieve the effect of "its shape is terrible and foolproof".
