A study on the Characteristics of courtyard design in Suzhou Garden

The space of Suzhou classical gardens is rich and varied, and they are often known for being small but large, staggered and fluid. By using the four elements of mountains, water, architecture and plants, and through the design methods of combining the real and the imaginary, poetry and painting into the garden, Suzhou gardens have accomplished the expression and manifestation of the rich cultural connotations of Suzhou gardens, and demonstrated the narrative space of the gardens in the scenes of the literati's life, realising the multifarious expression of the space of historical memories and the spirit of the scenes, and providing rich design ideas and examples for the contemporary architectural and landscape design.
