Features: The presence of Jiangnan gardens in records largely dates back to the early Eastern Jin period during the southward migration of the refined class. The unrestrained and elegant demeanor of the figures from Central Plains suddenly converged with the gentle rain and misty waves of Jiangnan, as well as the picturesque boats. For a time, tender emotions were as boundless as water, and auspicious moments were as dreamlike as a dream. This period healed the wounds of the Yongjia Rebellion and initiated a captivating journey of Jiangnan literati gardens that have spread for millennia. This book, through numerous color illustrations, introduces you to famous Jiangnan gardens from several aspects, including basic materials, historical evolution, opinions of renowned scholars, artistic appreciation, important perspectives, inscriptions and artifacts, ancient trees and famous woods, anecdotes, and special notes.
