From the time when the early gardens had the function of production, the fish have had the connection with the garden landscape. As an animal resource, fish is not only a factor in the gardens, but also a medium to create artistic conception and to appreciate beauty in the garden landscape. Such as the stone whales in the royal gardens in the Qin and Han period, they are the concrete samples; the King Jian Wen's"thoughts between Hao, Pu"is an abstract sample; the Fishing platform in XiYou garden of the Wei period and the Boat architecture in Yiyuan in Suzhou are the samples of the architecture in the gardens. The fish and the fish philosophy in garden landscape can be found from all above.This article wants to analyze the characteristic of the fish philosophy in the gardens as it becomes a element. It will introduce the worship of Fish and its significance in the forming of the character.
