Chinese style

Chinese, Japanese style … at first glance for an inexperienced man they seem exactly the same. But it is actually much more deeper phenomenon and to mix up these two independent cultures today has become a fairly common mistake. Tracing back to one source, they almost lose bond, diverging to different directions. China is a vast territory, within which a great diversity of different cultures is managed to interlace . And it is the Chinese style was the basis for the birth and development of modern and elegant and at the same time the ascetic culture of Japan, and not vice versa.

The core of artificial landscapes, stylized in accordance to Chinese tradition, is popularity concept of Feng Shui. Japanese bonsai (the art of growing plants in containers) and a Chinese landscape Feng Shui has been applied and used by many people and almost all the time. The secret of this art is in in-depth knowledge of the laws of nature, which are widely used and accounted for the formation of the landscape design of a particular territory. Literate planning of buildings and gardens, close relationship of their placement and location relative to cardinal points, the choice of form on the ground all these features are distinguish for Feng Shui. This knowledge of the laws of nature helps you make proper use of them in the formation of the landscape.

However, Feng Shui is just a set of rules and principles, using them you can create incredible pictures of your imagination. We only help you to determine the "form", but to "fill" it by extract of all the subtleties of inner world you need personally. Chinese style gives you complete freedom in action and expression. After all, the main idea of this art is not to use the components of an "alive" and "inanimate" nature, but to project an internal perception of the happy owner "of a miniature China’, in our case, it means yours.

The landscape of China primarily consists of mountains, pieces of land among water, lots of stones. It echoes styling landscaped gardens, constructed in accordance with all laws of the Chinese style. Well known symbols of masculine and feminine - Yin and Yang - appear here to: Yan is expressed in the landscape of light and vertical forms, Yin, by the dark and flat parts. This pattern also lies in the harmony, it would seem at first glance, absolutely polar surfaces: water and land, plains and hills, vegetation and free space.

Each architectural form here has a symbolic meaning. Typical for the Chinese style trees which have stood in silent outburst, an eternity of gray stones, a grotesque bulge of graceful bridges and saturated greenery of gardens makes us feel a quiet joy and peacefulness . Also among the most expressive elements of the landscape we can mark out Chinese ‘houses, pavilions, pagodas and zigzag staircase, painted in bright colors (red, emerald green, yellow). Buildings, installations, sculptures artfully inscribed in it, and harmoniously fit along with the natural landscape.

But the main difference of Chinese landscape is the stable hierarchy inherent to the Chinese direction only. Equal rights and equal value of objects that can be observed in the Japanese countryside where every single object is an independent center of a general "picture" is not for the Chinese centrism. With this feature we can always determine where is the central point of garden and from where a magnificent view of the colorful panorama will be the best. And we can define precisely where is location of the center in this Chinese version of Eden. Eclipsing the soft, muted tones, which characterizes Japanese landscapes, Chinese gardens literally scream by brightness and shimmer, and adorable multicolored.

The style of the gardens can not be confined to a single direction . It is varied as the whole culture of China. Each style has its own peculiar emotional message: from bright flashing by all colors "smiling" garden to the "alarming" garden, with its overhanging cliffs and precipices, trees of unnatural forms, both frightening and fascinating statues of mythical creatures. Idyllic type of landscape, which has found his place in Japanese culture with its "toy" gardens, in the Chinese style attracts by a much larger spatial volume, "width" and "depth" of freedom of spirit.
