The Development of Chinese Garden
中国园林的发展
The ancient Chinese garden originated in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, when monarchs began to build parks for their own leisure and pleasure. During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, it was a fashion to build gardens. Until the Han dynasty private gardens appeared. After the Jin, Northern and Southern dynasties，private gardens came into vogue as the rich and powerful sought to express their sentiment in landscaping. During the Tang and Song dynasties, a poetic touch was added to the layout and scenes of a garden，and became a general feature. In the Qing Dynasty, garden architecture reached its peak.
中国古代园林起源于商周时期，那时君主为自己的休闲和享乐建造园林。在春秋和战国时期，建造园林是一个时尚。直到汉代私人园林出现。金之后，南北朝时期，私家园林成为时尚，因为财大气粗所以能追求他们对园林绿化的情操。在唐宋时期，诗意加入到花园的布局和场景，并成为一个普遍的特点。在清代，园林建筑达到了顶峰。
