"With their distinctive characteristics, the gardens of China are amongst the most fascinating in the world. Many excellent books have been written about them but, on the whole, they have dealt only with the surviving imperial gardens and a selection of those of retired officials. Rarely are the fascinating courtyards and gardens of temples mentioned, nor the evocative enclosures of ancient burial grounds and imperial tombs - to say nothing of the public parks, botanical gardens and arboreta, most of which have sprung up since 1949." "In this book Peter Valder describes over 200 gardens in China which he has visited, including representatives of all types. In order to introduce them, he looks at how over the years Western visitors have perceived and come to understand Chinese gardens, and for each site provides notes on its location, history and plants." "Gardens in China contains over 500 colour photographs, many of them depicting gardens not previously illustrated in any Western publication, as well as reproductions of illustrations of historical interest."--Jacket.

Experiencing the garden of perfect brightness (Yuanming Yuan) -- Qianlong's garden of everlasting spring (Changchun Yuan) -- The garden of the clear ripples (Qingyi Yuan) on longevity hill (Shou Shan) -- The garden of tranquil luminescence (Jingming Yuan) on Jade Spring Hill (Yuquan Shan) -- The garden of quiet delight (Jinyi Yuan) on fragrant hill (Xiang Shan).

"The Garden of Perfect Brightness (Yuanming Yuan) in the western suburbs of the Qing capital, Beijing, was begun by the great Kangxi (r. 1661-1722) and expanded by his son, Yongzheng (r. 1722-1735) and brought to its greatest glory by his grandson, Qianlong (r. 1736-1796). A lover of literature and art, Qinglong sought an earthly reflection of his greatness in his Yuanming Yuan. For many years he designed and directed an elaborate program of garden arrangements. Representing two generations of painstaking research, this book follows the emperor as he ruled his empire from within his garden. In a landscape of lush plants, artificial mountains and lakes, and colorful buildings, he sought to represent his wealth and power to his diverse subjects and to the world at large. Having been looted and burned in the mid-nineteenth century by western forces, it now lies mostly in ruins, but it was the world's most elaborate garden in the eighteenth century. The garden suggested a whole set of concepts-religious, philosophical, political, artistic, and popular-represented in landscape and architecture. Just as bonsai portrays a garden in miniature, the imperial Yuanming Yuan at the height of its splendor represented the Qing Empire in microcosm."--back cover.
