ABSTRACT

Classical Chinese gardens have a long history and deep connotation, and occupy a pivotal position in the history of world art. Within the maturity period of ancient Chinese garden development, Zhou Weiquan predecessor divided this stage of garden maturity into three phases. From the time line, the private garden in Jiangnan has gone through the development of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, and reached its peak in Qing Dynasty. In the process of the development of Jiangnan private gardens, the main changes are reflected in the overall layout and gardening techniques, while the development of social and economic development plays a decisive role in the development of Jiangnan private gardens. This paper studies the development, historical evolution, and period background of Jiangnan private gardens in different periods of the maturity, and analyses them in terms of Canglang Pavilion, Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden in Suzhou.
