ABSTRACT

Due to significant differences in geographical environments, social and cultural contexts, climatic conditions, and historical heritage, Jiangnan and Lingnan regions have developed their own unique styles of local gardens. This article examines Suzhou's classical garden, the Humble Administrator's Garden, and Guangzhou's Lingnan garden, Yu Yin Shan Fang, as representative examples. It provides a detailed analysis of the similarities and differences between the two gardens in terms of gardening conditions, techniques for shaping mountains and water, spatial organization and layout, and the creation of aesthetic moods.The goal is to foster a comprehensive understanding of Jiangnan and Lingnan gardens while exploring the mutual borrowing and influence of the two styles in terms of garden construction concepts and methods. Ultimately, this analysis aims to contribute to the promotion of the inheritance and development of garden art.
