Abstract

As a unique artistic form, traditional Chinese landscape painting has aesthetic value and a close relationship with garden design. This study mainly explores the principles and practices of landscape design based on traditional Chinese landscape painting. Firstly, it introduces the brief history of the development of traditional Chinese landscape painting and its relationship with garden design. Then, it analyzes the characteristics of traditional landscape painting and garden design principles. Then, the application of traditional Chinese landscape painting in landscape design was analyzed, including landscape layout, plant selection, and matching, as well as the design of buildings and structures. In conclusion, applying traditional Chinese principles in modern landscapes presents inherent challenges that demand thoughtful consideration. As contemporary spaces evolve and adapt to changing needs, integrating traditional elements may face obstacles such as conflicting design philosophies, space constraints, and technological advancements. Addressing these challenges requires a nuanced approach that preserves the essence of traditional principles while accommodating the demands of modern living. This section explores strategies and innovative solutions to overcome these challenges and successfully apply traditional principles in the design of modern landscapes.
