Human Follows the Earth,Earth Follows Heaven,Heaven Follows Tao,and Tao Follows Nature:The View of Imitating Nature in Chinese Landscape Architecture
Chinese landscape architecture fully reflects the Chinese people's view of learning from nature.Many concepts in traditional Chinese culture,such as"human,mountains and waters,earth,heaven,Tao,vitality,and universe",express a multi-dimensional nature;"human follows the earth,earth follows heaven,heaven follows Tao,and Tao follows nature",systematically discusses the multi-level relationship between human and nature.In this relationship,the Chinese landscape architecture,through the worship of nature,human of honor admire moral,the imitation of mountains and waters,the creation of heaven by human,the condensation of the universe,and many other forms,ultimately,comes down to learning from nature.This has led to the formation of the cognitive method of"learning from nature outside and obtaining inspiration inside"in Chinese landscape architecture,the value orientation of"although created by human,it seems like being created by heaven",the spatial creation techniques that harmonize Yin and Yang,and a natural reproduction of the universe.Chinese landscape architecture can artistically condense tangible nature,intangible nature,the nature of the evolutionary laws of everything,and the nature that embodies the laws of the universe.The concept of learning from nature has left deep traces in its evolution process.
