Literati Garden of Garden of Cultivation 藝圃 Summer Breeze 2024 II Classical Gardens in Suzhou 

#landscape #artwork #chinesegarden #scholargarden #spacedesign 

 Photographing gardens require time to wait, to have enough patience: waiting for the light, waiting for clouds, waiting for rain, waiting for wind, waiting for snow, waiting for fog ...... waiting for flowers to blossom and fall, and usually, it is to wait for the moment when the scenery is unoccupied so that the picture is shot out of the picture is serene. 

Sunshine and windy sunny days, the Garden of Cultivation 藝圃 乳魚 pavilion on the dragon, in the fluctuation of the water light reflection, seems to swim, tumbling. The clouds in the sky will ripple in the water along with the ripples blown by the wind, and it is hard to tell whether it is the water or the clouds that are moving. 

Garden of Cultivation 藝圃 water is clear, but it seems too clear, and the water is also too shallow, the pool was covered by the water stacked stone cornerstone was exposed, lotus planting pool of cement surrounded was seen clearly, 延光閣 below the foundation of the building, lost ‘30,000 hectares of the lake cut a corner of the’ mood. 三萬頃湖裁一角 And there is not a swimming fish in the water, is it really water to clear and no fish? 

Looking at the 延光閣 behind the residential buildings on the high rise of the solar energy device is no trace. This is a very pleasant surprise to me because I don't have to spend time retouching the picture if I take it again later.

My friend posted photos of the high-wall creepers in the garden on WeChat, which aroused my desire to take photos again. So yesterday, a little more than seven o'clock to the garden of cultivation 藝圃, not yet open, I did not think that there had been a few women earlier than I waited at the door. In fact, the day before yesterday afternoon, I went to a hair salon on the side of the garden of cultivation 藝圃 to get a haircut, half an hour before the closure of the garden to go in and shoot a while, many tourists, time to rush, so today to rush to be the first to enter the garden. The first episode of Summer Breeze in the Garden of Cultivation 藝圃 is much the same as the video I posted before, except that there are a few more fallen campanulas, banana leaves, and a blooming China rose 扶桑花. More than twenty years ago I first photographed Fuchsia flowers in the garden of cultivation, and since then only the art garden has seen the Fuchsia flowers, not only that, I think the art garden's China rose 扶桑花 flowers in bloom are particularly delicate, and warm. Some people say that it is not suitable to plant Fusang flowers（China rose 扶桑花） at home because Fusang is the sound of mourning, which is unlucky. I don't believe in this. When I was designing gardens in Guangdong, I loved to plant China rose 扶桑花 because of its generous leaves and flowers.

The carefree summer breeze of the Canglang Pavilion 

#chinesegarden #classicalgardenofsuzhou #landscape #summertime 

Classical Garden Of Suzhou with more and more people and things, today more colored lights to cover the stones, tomorrow more air-conditioning boxes, the day after tomorrow is a cafe, and then the day after tomorrow is a spray device ...... seems to always have to do endless addition. This year I'm not going to the garden photography less, but almost do not go, occasionally once or twice outside the Canglang Pavilion to see, just feel the gusts of the river wind still there, gently whisking the residual scenery, neither to bring what extra, nor take away what must be. 

I often meet in the Canglang Pavilion creek side of a four-wheeled battery-operated car old man, with two dogs, a Shih Tzu, and a poodle. The pine lion dog lying on the bench, majestic. Young tourists walk by most stop and ask the old man always the same sentence ‘This dog will bite’, the old man also the same answer them ‘I do not know’ and then adds ‘Touch it is not going to bite. ‘ Naturally, she or he would use his hand to stroke the soft and thick fur of the Pomeranian, while the old man's dog was indifferent and ignored.

Poetry：

A lion carries a rabbit on its back, while the Monkey King leads a duck. A stream flows with honey, trees laden with fruit.Morning light bathes the flowers, a clear spring reflects lovers.

Silver haired Confucius playing the guqin, while Socrates chanting poetry. That is my forest,The forest of my dreams.

English Recitation： Diana Pan Rong

Ink and Poetry:  Hua Liu

I posted my abstract ink and wash on WeChat, and a friend forwarded it to me and wrote a poem about it in English. This triggered me to write poems to self-interpret my ink and wash, and I didn't realize that I had written eighty of them over six months.

I was amazed at the different ink works I had written and the thoughts that unfolded in my mind. They seemed familiar, yet strange, like my nightly sleep, the ink and brush strokes introduced me to the abyss of consciousness, and set off the turbulent waves in my heart. I transformed them into the words of a poem, and reading the words of a poem was like watching my own ink.

I am fortunate to have been able to record the reality of my life in a portfolio.

I am lucky that without ink and poetry, the light of my life would have turned into smoke and drifted away without a trace.

I am lucky that without the internet, my ink and verses would just be silent self-talk.

After the publication of Ink and Poetry at 100subtexts literary magazine, I received a letter from the editor, Mr. John Hopper, which touched me a lot with one sentence: "Thanks so much for being part of the magazine and this brand new issue, your contribution made all the difference. "And  Thanks to Prof Liang Wenchiang, Seattle, USA, and Samuel Penn, the editor of Architecture Magazine, UK for their translation support.

Mr. John Hopper, who has a unique and sensitive eye for art, appreciated my ink poems very much when he saw them on the internet and wanted to publish them in the monthly issue of the European literary magazine "100subtexts", which he edited. Naturally, I was eager to do so and chose two of my poems, the dreamy and lyrical ones, and got translation support from Professor Liang Wenchiang, from Seattle, USA, and Mr Samuel Penn, the editor of Architecture Magazine in the UK, who is now a special foreign professor of the Department of Architecture at Xiamen University.

After the publication of the ink poems, I received a letter from the editor, Mr. John Hopper, which touched me to the core with the words, "Thanks so much for being part of the magazine and this brand new issue, your contribution made all the difference." And I wrote back, "Hello! I am very happy to have received the e-file of the magazine in the mail, and this is certainly one of my happiest moments, thanks to you and your colleagues for your hard work on this. I think both authors and readers will be grateful for your meaningful work, and I am deeply honored that my poems and paintings can be published in your magazine. Art makes the world a beautiful place, allows us to get to know each other across the ocean, and brings new information about art to those who care about and love it!  

"100subtexts is an eclectic and vibrant international literary magazine. Subtexts translate to subtexts or extra texts, and I think it is more accurate to translate the magazine's name as "A Thousand Extratexts". I think it is more accurate to translate the name of the magazine as "Ten Thousand Words Beyond Words" because the words of the poems are metaphors, and a thousand people will read them with a thousand feelings. My interpretation of the poems I wrote with my ink and wash may be the same in one way and another.

Last but not least, we would like to express our special thanks to Ms Diana Pan Rong, a recitation artist, for her voice-over reading of the ink poem. Her beautiful voice and excellent recitation skills make the poem's words and phrases resonate with an infinite number of meanings.

Myokenji  Temple Kyoto 2024 京都妙顯寺 

 #landscape #zen #japaneseculture  #ancientart #drygarden #drylandscape #wabisabi 

 The withered garden of Myohyenji Temple 妙顯寺 is very obscure and unforgettable, and I can feel certain connotations and emotions from the form that the designer wanted to express, and I can see the loneliness of Zen practice and the eternity of energy through a stone, water, and a bridge. When I photographed it, I also visually enhanced the mysterious atmosphere of solitude. In the main scene of the garden, after the stone bridge, there is a stone placed perfectly, its stone pattern is like a flowing waterfall, so that the court is full of water in the meaning of appreciation, withered scenery is not withered, which may be the Zen garden static "view tour" of the wonderful: from the eyes to the heart of the meditation and enlightenment.

The poet of the Tang Dynasty wrote Maple Leaf "Parking and sitting in the maple forest night, the frosty leaves are red in the February flowers", a line red in February flowers tells the magnificent and sentimental autumn of the maple leaves, which has become a classic poem that has been passed down through the ages. I used to shoot maple leaves in gardens. I started shooting when the maple leaves were just red until the last maple leaf fell on the branches of the maple tree. I photographed maple leaves covering the garden path, and I also photographed the maple leaves falling on the water and reflected in the water. With the blue sky and white clouds, blooming in the clouds like spring flowers... frost leaves, red leaves, maple leaves... It is the season of red maple in late autumn again. I filmed a group of classical gardens in Suzhou with maple leaves. Named "The Collection of Maple Leaves in the Ancient Garden", please enjoy the most splendid scene of the life of the red leaves. 

 "The Collection of Maple Leaves in the Ancient Garden" Part 1: There are two old maple trees on the left and right in front of the Four Side Hall of The Mountain Villa with Embracing Beauty, with thick trunks and lush foliage. When the maple leaves are red, the rockery group is reflected, and it is very spectacular to see the rockery group through the branches and maple leaves.

Chinese gardens are not gardens in the Western sense. They are not mainly ornamental flowers and plants. If translated into English, they should be landscape architecture. Therefore, there is rarely a scene of a hundred flowers blooming in the garden. Even so, the garden is full of flowers. From the winter blooms, spring plums, magnolia, wisteria, crabapple, bauhinia, peony in spring follow...Pomegranate, cypress, hydrangea, lotus, crape myrtle in summer...Of course, there are sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemum in autumn, Tang Dynasty The poet Yuan Zhen has a poem saying that chrysanthemums are "more flowerless after this flower blooms", but the splendor of the maple leaves in the garden is not autumn flowers but more like autumn flowers.

Stone building in gardens is a very important part of garden construction. It costs a lot of money, and ordinary rich people can't afford it. However, on the one hand, stacked mountains are to create a beautiful landscape, and it is also a spiritual need for the inhabitants. There is a Chinese idiom called "高山仰止"to behold a high mountain or a great man with awe. Mountains and rocks symbolize human behavior like a mountain. His behavior serves as a code of conduct. Those who live and walk in the mountains are often open-minded, resolute in character, and full of power to fight against nature. Hua Liu 庭の石造りの建物は、庭の建設の非常に重要な部分です。 それはたくさんのお金がかかり、普通の金持ちはそれを買う余裕がありません。 しかし、一方で、積み重ねられた山々は美しい風景を作り出すことであり、それは住民の精神的な必要性でもあります。 高山や畏怖の念を持った偉人を見るために「高山仰止」と呼ばれる中国のイディオムがあります。 山や岩は、山のような人間の行動を象徴しています。 彼の行動は行動規範として機能します。 山に住んで歩いている人は、しばしばオープンマインドで、性格が毅然としていて、自然と戦う力に満ちています。 #landscapestyle #landscape #artwork #artofgarden #chinesegarden #garden #ancient #landscape #庭園 #風景 #石 #art #ancientarchitecture #ancientart #sony #chinese #spirit #plants #view #scenery #landscapephotography #space #stacked #stackedstone #rockery #stone #mountains #chineseculture #culture #moss #humanities （在 Humble Administrator's Garden） https://www.instagram.com/p/CWitoB0LCp7/?utm_medium=tumblr
