ZHUO ZHENG YUAN: THE CHINESE GARDEN ART

by Fjordline - last update: Mar 15, 2005

Zhuo Zheng Yuan is a typical classic Chinese garden and widely regarded as the best among Suzhou's four famous gardens. Although today's Suzhou has been modernized and tourists can no longer experience traditional Chinese culture like old days, at this corner, the world is still clean.

Name of this Ming dynasty garden "Zhuo Zheng" is quoted from a Jin dynasty lyric. Literal meaning of the original article means " Watering garden and planting vegetables is also practice of administration for guileless person." This exactly reflects the situation of a retired official.

Concerning the philosophy and technical details of Chinese garden. The museum in the garden will give a detailed account.
