Exploration on the Design of"Landscape with Moon Movement"in Ancient Chinese Moonscape Space:Taking Garden in Ming and Qing Dynasties as Examples
With the research of a sight spot called"Moon Rockery"found that in the Southern Song Dynasty,there was a moonscape space that conformed to the astronomical rules and south-eastwards.This kind of configuration shows the characteristic of the moonscape space in ancient Chinese gardens which called"landscape with moon movement".This paper studies the configuration of"landscape with moon movement"and"south-eastwards view",and analyzes the materials of ancient garden remains and garden records,and sorts out the layout and elements of moonscape space,and draw a conclusion that most of the moonscapes in garden in Ming and Qing dynasties were south-eastwards.On the above base,this paper concludes 4 moonscape space formulas which are"a garden with water is better than one without","combining landform and rockery with variable spatial conditions","the name of the attraction is important",and"special pavement design makes the ground fell like water".Further,it discusses the application of astronomical rules in moonscape designing in traditional Chinese gardens,in order to provide references for moonscape design in two aspects:on the one hand it can work at Restoration of Ancient Chinese Gardens,on the other hand,it can guide the contemporary moonscape in the construction of terrain,organization of elements and creation of moonscape atmosphere.
