Daoism is a product rooted in the soil of Chinese culture.In the process of its development,it collided with Confucianism,Zen and other traditional cultures,and had a long-term impact on many aspects of Chinese culture,especially on the Chinese classical garden,leaving a deep mark of Daoism.Starting from the Lanchi Palace in the Qin Dynasty,the lake island pattern of “one pond and three mountains” has always been an important landscape of the imperial gardens in the feudal society,and many aesthetic states,garden forms and artistic propositions of the classical gardens have shown rich Taoist connotations.The current research results on a small amount of Taoism in a preliminary probe into the connotation and the performance of classical gardens,but almost all the research is based on a holistic,under the “Chinese garden” of more than from the origin of the Chinese garden since the qin and han dynasties,landscape reflects the natural thought to describe the macroscopic Angle,such as the garden how at all stages of the historical development influenced by Taoism,The extent of the impact and how to express it need to be further clarified.This paper takes this as an opportunity to study the influence of Daoism on Jiangnan private gardens in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.Firstly,the influence of Daoism in the garden building thought of classical gardens was studied,and the representation of Daoism in Chinese classical gardens was explained and summarized from three aspects:garden thought,garden aesthetics and garden layout.Secondly,combining the archetype theory of psychologist Carl Jung and the contemporary architectural typology theory of this theory,this paper clarifies the connotation of Taoism in Chinese classical gardens through the literature review,summarizes its connotation expression since the Qin and Han Dynasties,and discusses in detail the landscape types of Taoism cave sky,crane,canopy,medicine nursery,etc.On the basis of this,the literature on political management,religious thought,cultural practice and garden development of Jiangnan in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was collected,and the background of its worship of Taoism and seeking immortals and the practice of garden construction at that time were summarized,and the relationship between Jiangnan garden and Taoism in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was deeply analyzed.Finally,the case analysis method is used to study Yanshan Garden and Jiangjiu Garden from the perspective of Daoism to summarize the influence of Daoism on gardens in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and analyze the connotation of Daoism in gardens.Only by explaining and analyzing the relationship between Daoism and the construction of classical gardens from the perspective of history and culture can we peel off the cocoon from the complex connotation of gardens and explore the specific influence of Daoism on the construction of gardens.From the perspective of “Taoism”in-depth interpretation of classical garden relevant historical data,induction and cite them explicitly describe the classical gardens of Taoism,Taoism realm of some implicit explanatory extensions,dig up the hidden Taoism culture value and significance of the unknown,defects and deficiencies in the study of Taoism and the botanical garden,the importance of the argument in the study of classical garden road,It provides some reference for the study of the relationship between religious culture and garden construction.At the same time,the heritage of classical gardens profoundly reflects the long history and culture of the Chinese nation,and the cultural connotation behind classical gardens is also a link that cannot be ignored in the study of traditional gardens.
