Study On The Soundscape Of Xishu Garden

The garden is the crystallization of human wisdom,bearing the unique cultural and aesthetic neef the Chinese descendants.Xishu garden with unique artistic style and landscape charm is the carrier of Xishu culture.Today,human being pay more and more attention to the landscape experience.The landscape of the landscape environment plays a decisive role in the sensory experience.This article takes the representative gardens of Xishu as the study object of Du Fu Thatched Cottage,Wuhou Temple and Guihu Park.Based on the audio-visual environment of Xishu garden.Using quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze the constituent elements of Xishu garden soundscape.Study the soundscape and experience of node space,sequence space,and regional space.Constructing the evaluation system of soundscape space in Xishu garden.The specific research results are as follows:(1)At the level of the components of the soundscape.The Xishu Garden Soundscape has three major constituent features of rich acoustic environment,reasonable environmental organization and different levels of listeners.Among them,the types of sound sources in Xishu garden acoustic environment divided into natural sound,activity sound and artificial sound.And most respondents are concerned about natural sounds and activity sounds.In different garden space environments,there is a certain difference in the degree of attention between active and artificial sounds.While bird sound and watery sound are people’s preferred sounds.In the organization of the landscape environment,the natural landscape and low-rise buildings of the external environment ensure the overall quality of the landscape environment.The enclosure of the wall and the square space at the entrance reduce the disturbance of the external environment.The size and spatial atmosphere of the interior space limit the scope,form,and content of the user’s activities.The three gardens all have the characteristics of small scale,large number of people and concentrated activities,and the interference of active sound is more obvious.There are different listener structures in different garden environments.The differences are mainly reflected in three aspects: age,frequency of visits and education.The people used of Du Fu Thatched Cottage and Wuhou Temple is mainly for the first time of middle age people who are admitted to the park and have a higher education level.The used in Guihu Park are mostly middle-aged people and old who often come and play around.The education level of the group is generally not high.(2)On the level of soundscape experience,to study the soundscape experience of the listeners in representative traditional garden node space,sequence space and overall area.To evaluate the audiovisual environment of the listener in the nodal space,using soundscape comfort as the comprehensive evaluation index of the soundscape experience.Finding more than half of the nodal space sound experience of Du Fu Thatched Cottage is better,the rest are generally sound perception.Wuhou Temple’s soundscape comfort with general level,and node space experience is not strong.Nearly half of the nodes in Guihu park have better soundscape comfort,and there are multiple nodes with very good soundscape comfort.The listeners of the three gardens expressed their preference for cultural conversations that interact with the historical space.And express acceptance of broadcast music that blend with cultural atmosphere.And it is more sensitive and annoyed to the activity sound in the environment of Wuhou Temple,insensitive to other types of space.In the sequence space,study the fluctuations in the type,sound-class and subjective quietness of the main sequence,and the psychological perception.Discovered that all three gardens have different types of sound sources.Du Fu Thatched Cottage presents a regular,staggered change of sound source,with a tight rhythm and a variety of changes;Wuhou Temple is dominated by dynamic sounds,and steady-state sounds are concentrated in the middle and tail of the sequence space.Rhythm tone obviously single;Guihu Park lacks steady-state sound,the acoustic environment is unstable,and the impact is random.The change of the sound level of the three gardens is more moderate and steady,The degree of subjective quietness is influenced by the environmental atmosphere and the nature of the sound source.Through the psychometric evaluation of the sequence space,the descriptive words describing the space of the three garden landscapes are summarized.It is found that the psychological perception changes in the traditional landscape gardens in Xishu are concentrated on directionality,stability,quietness,and naturalness.In the whole area,the sound scene nodes were carefully analyed,and it was found that the types of landscape soundscape areas are rich and diverse.However,the inter-regional demarcation is rather vague,and the region’s primary and secondary areas are unknown,and there are no distinctive,memorable sound spots.In the overall acoustic environment,conversational sounds,leafy sounds,and running water are marked as impressive sounds by visitors.In combination with the landscape environment,this part of the acoustic element can be used as a symbol of gardens,and it is an important acoustic element for creating a regional cultural environment.It can make the garden features more profound.(3)In the Construction of soundscape space evaluation system,the evaluation system of the soundscape of Xishu garden was constructed using the analytic hierarchy process.Then using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to evaluate the three garden soundscape spaces,and the advantages and disadvantages of the garden landscape space were further summarized.Finally putting forward some suggestions for improvement.
