Space and Politics:A Comparative Study of the Narrative and Constructive Logic of Classical Private Gardens in China and Britain
Taking Chinese and British classical private gardens as research objects,we select the Humble Administrator's Garden,a private garden of the Ming Dynasty in China,and the Stowe Garden,a naturalistic landscape garden of the 18th century in Britain,as examples,draw on the theory of narratology to analyse the narrative logic of the two and use the research method of horizontal comparison to compare the similarities and differences of private gardens of the two countries in terms of the origins of the constructions,the metaphors,the directions and the aesthetics,and find that Chinese and British gardens have similarities and differences in terms of hosting emotions,announcing political stance and conveying philosophical and life views,while the differences between Chinese and British gardens are rooted in the cultural differences between the two countries.Through this comparative study,it can help landscape designers better understand the cultural core behind the gardens,so as to rethink the balanced relationship between inheriting traditional culture and absorbing foreign culture.
