Abstract

Abstract:With the development of literati gardens during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), the layout and design level of gardens reached an unprecedented height. As the representative of Suzhou gardens, The Humble Administrator's Garden (Zhuozhengyuan, 拙政园, 1530) has unique natural conditions and mature garden design, and its water management art is particularly exquisite. The best-preserved graphic information of The Humble Administrator's Garden are the poems and paintings by Wen Zhengming (文徵明, 1470–1559), including Thirty-One Scenes of The Humble Administrator's Garden (拙政园三十一景图, 1533), thirty landscape poems, and the biography Wang's Humble Administrator's Garden (王氏拙政园记, 1533). As the research object, this article aims to restore the image of The Humble Administrator's Garden by analyzing the water scene of the garden, summarizing its water technique and art, and extracting "Source of inflowing water" (为有源头活水来), "Esteem the mountain, revere the water, imitate the heaven and earth" (敬山畏水, 象天法地), "Fusion of the imitation of nature and the subjective ideas of the artist" (外师造化, 中得心源), and "Free and unfettered, enjoy the joy of leisure" (逍遥自得, 享闲居之乐) as the water aesthetic thoughts of the garden. In addition, this article provides some reference for the current landscape design.

拙政园的水管理美学

摘要：随着明代文人园林的发展，园林的布局和设计水平达到了前所未有的高度。拙政园作为苏州园林的代表，拙政园, 1530）具有独特的自然条件和成熟的园林设计，其治水艺术尤为精湛。拙政园保存最完好的图文资料是文征明的诗文(文徵明, 1470–1559），包括拙政园三十一景(拙政园三十一景图, 1533）、山水诗三十首、传记《王拙政园》(王氏拙政园记, 1533）。本文以拙政园为研究对象，通过对拙政园水景的分析，总结拙政园的用水技法和艺术，提取“入水之源”，还原拙政园意象(为有源头活水来), “尊山敬水，仿天地”(敬山畏水, 象天法地), “对自然的模仿与艺术家主观观念的融合”(外师造化, 中得心源), 和“自由自在，享受悠闲的快乐”(逍遥自得, 享闲居之乐) 作为园林的水美学思想。此外，本文还为当前的景观设计提供了一些参考。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aesthetic Education (JAE) is a highly respected interdisciplinary journal that focuses on clarifying the issues of aesthetic education understood in its most extensive meaning. The journal thus welcomes articles on philosophical aesthetics and education, to problem areas in education critical to arts and humanities at all institutional levels; to an understanding of the aesthetic import of the new communications media and environmental aesthetics; and to an understanding of the aesthetic character of humanistic disciplines. The journal is a valuable resource not only to educators, but also to philosophers, art critics and art historians.
