A Comparative Study On Rockery in Eastern and Western Gardens

Wu-zhong ZHOU

Abstract


The thesis has described the differences of the national psychology in treating mountains and stones and the historical backgrounds of the formation of garden rockery between Eastern and Western gardens. The conclusion is: the rockery in Chinese classical gardens is fully symbolic and highly technological; while the rockery in Western gardens appeared under the influence of the Eastern style, is mostly regarded as a kind of artificial decoration, to express the new discovery of the natural beauty.
Key words: Eastern and Western gardens, rockery,comparison
