Features: Landscape gardening, scenery, and architecture, although belonging to different disciplines, share some important principles that have been consistently upheld. This is particularly evident in traditional Chinese landscape culture, landscape culture, and architectural culture, where they seem intertwined and interdependent. As three subsystems within the larger classical cultural system, their relationships are extremely close. The reason for compiling these articles into four groups—Landscape Reflections, Imperial Garden Splendor, Scenic Charm, and Architectural Sketches—also aims to highlight this interconnectedness.
