In contrast with natural scenery， the beauty of Chinese gardens lie in their combining culture and art into one. How did the classic Chinese garden take shape and develop？ How many prototypes are there in Chinese gardens， what similarities do they share and how do they differ fromeach other？ What experiences have been accumulated through the years of garden building， and what theories have been formed？ Lets walk into the Chinese gardens and take a closer look.This book is published simultaneously in seven languages including Chinese， English， Japanese， Russian， French， German and Spanish.
