“Restoration of the Past Scenery-Realm”: A Research on the Scenery-Realm Restoration of Jiang’s Fu Garden During Qing Dynasty in the Historical Revolution of the Humble Administrat... by Qian BIAN

“…In terms of realm experience, the research analyzes the generation of typical comprehensive experience and emotional activities in the garden from the perspectives of “Dong You Jian Jing Can” (roaming in motion and meditation in stillness) and “Ya Ji Yu Yuan Ju” (elegant gathering and garden dwelling), pointing out that the former, in short-term composite perceptions, is more likely to form differentiated results due to changes in mood, season, and combinations of dynamic and static appreciation, while the latter, through long-term interactive attachment and more nuanced examinations over time, can make the emotional sustenance of guests in the garden more genuine and varied. 2) In response to the question of what qualified the garden as a restoration of the past scenery-realm, the focus is on the “Yuanxiang Hall” area as a clue to explore the value orientation of the Fu Garden’s restoration. …”
