Abstract:Traditional mountain-and-river garden making, featured with the leading role of master craftsman, is important in contemporary inheritance of Chinese garden culture and has not been well studied. Pu Garden in Kunshan, which is designed and constructed by craftsman FANG Hui, is a typical case of this kind. With “garden within mountain” as its overall pursuit, the garden was planned with main mountain from outside, mountain veins and water in mountain, with the constraint of site condition carefully considered. In terms of the creation of specific landscape scenery, the focus is on the formation of artistic effects and experience composition in the form of close-range cave, mid-range mountain peak, long-range mountain and comprehensive waterscape. In the process of building skills, stone selection and use of stone, overlapping and modeling, level and echo and other aspects of a superb level, and due to the contemporary technical conditions to develop. Such mountain-and-river making in Pu Garden shows the real inheritance and development of traditional Chinese garden making and provides helpful reference for tackling the common problem caused by the separation of design and construction.
