THE CRAFT OF GARDENS

di HARDIE A. MING Z. KESWICK M.
Editore: BETTER LINK PRESS  (2012)
THE CRAFT OF GARDENS

Descrizione

Ji Cheng's great work on garden design, the "Yuan Ye" or "Craft of Gardens," was originally published around 1631 and is the earliest manual of landscape gardening in the Chinese tradition. This is the first complete English translation of Ji Cheng's seminal work. This delightful book provides not only insights into Chinese gardening but also a unique perspective on Chinese culture and society in the late Ming dynasty. Full notes by the translator explain obscure points and introduce relevant aspects of Chinese culture, while an introduction by Maggie Keswick sets the book firmly in its historical context. Illustrations include not only Ji Cheng's original diagrams but also historical paintings and contemporary photographs of a number of outstanding gardens in the part of East China where Ji Cheng lived and worked.
