The Humble Administrator’s Garden is designed with the traditional Chinese concept “heaven and human in one” (Sha, 2008, p.10). Chinese Garden is often called symbolic garden with natural style, while this symbolism mostly means a natural result of abstraction (Wang et al., 2004, p94). The Humble Administrator’s Garden can be seen as an ancient private heaven in the modern society because of its rich and ingenious combination of all kinds of landscape factors such as mountain with pavilion, pool with lotus, river with bridge and even forest with grass. It can be seen that the space is fully applied for the layout of the garden. To pursue the natural beauty the natural factors like mountain, river and forest which are made with great care or chosen from the real nature are vividly built. The garden is designed with fully considering human’s feeling, for example, the pavilion is set up among the mountain, pool and bridge, so people can sit talking and enjoying the scenery. What’s more, the tea table and seats made by stone are located in the center of the pavilion for the host to drink tea with his guests and friends considering the tea custom and tea culture. When walking in the garden, people can clearly feel its ancient cultural atmosphere. 拙政园的设计与中国传统的观念“天人合一”的人(沙,2008,第10页)。中国园林是通常被称为象征性的园林与自然的风格,而这种象征意义主要是指抽象的自然结果(Wang等人。,2004,P94)。拙政园可以看作是现代社会中一个古老的私人天堂由于其丰富的巧妙结合,各类景观要素如山亭,池荷花,桥和草甚至林河。可以看出,空间是完全适用于花园的布局。追求自然美的像山的自然因素,河流和森林是非常小心或选择从真实自然生动地建。这个花园的设计充分考虑了人的感觉,例如,展馆设置在山区,游泳池和桥,所以人们可以坐在欣赏风景。更重要的是,茶几,座椅由石位于展馆中心的主机喝茶和他的客人和朋友考虑茶俗与茶文化。当走在花园里,人们可以清楚地感觉到它的古老的文化氛围。
