Abstract

Chinese traditional gardens have a very important significance in the history of world garden art and are the treasures of human culture. As the main component of the Oriental Garden system, it mainly relies on freehand landscape gardens, which are quite different from the Western regular gardens. Under the background of globalization and modernization, I have studied the space construction methods, cultural thoughts and gardening elements of traditional Chinese gardens, and explored the development status quo of traditional Chinese gardens. Although the development of classical gardens is facing great challenges, the status quo of classical gardens has also been confronted with such situations as demolition, chaotic alteration and excessive number of tourist carriers. Traditional gardens still have vigorous new vitality in the 21st century. Many classical gardens of Ming and Qing Dynasties are preserved in Suzhou and other places, and the new Chinese style gardens, a product of the combination of traditional gardens and the times, emerged at the historic moment. They are all telling about the vitality of Chinese traditional gardens. Chinese traditional gardens will eventually go to the world and become an important carrier of carrying forward Chinese traditional culture to the outside world.
