On Fengshui and Rockery and Water Layout

Definition of Fengshui and the theories of selecting mountain and water environment in Fengshui were elaborated.

Rockeries of Four Seasons (Siji Jiashan) in the Ge Garden, House of Rockeries (Pianshi Shanfang) and Attached-to-wall Rockeries (Tiebi Jiashan) in the He Garden, Rockeries World (Juanshi Dongtian) and Flowing Water on Rockeries (Shibi Liucong) in the Park of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou City were taken as representatives of rockeries in Yangzhou gardens. Plant furnishings and their combinations with rockeries were analyzed, for example, plants can be applied as the background to support the rockeries; closely combined with rockeries to form the principal scenery; applied as decorations to supplement rockeries; applied as the foreground to enrich landscape layer. Characteristics of plant and rockeries landscaping were analyzed, and it was proposed that rockeries landscaping was combined with cultural characteristics of plants, focused on diversity of plant furnishings and also combination of plant figures and appreciation perspectives, and valued growth habits of plants. On this basis, relevant suggestions were given for the construction of rockeries in Yangzhou gardens.
