Textual Research On The Garden Construction Activities In The Map Of Haiyan Xuyuan During The Late 19th Century AD China

In November 1984,Tongji University Press published a Chinese English edition of "Shuoyuan" with 32 pages of "Haiyan Xuyuan Map",which recorded the style of Xu Yongyi,the Minister of War of the Qing Dynasty during the Guangxu period,located in a private mansion in Haiyan County.The atlas has been collected by Mr.Chen Congzhou,a landscape architect,for decades.Based on its source and characteristics,it is classified as an "ancient garden map".Different from most of the garden paintings that can be seen in the world,the traditional garden map is a reproduction of the built garden,that is,to commemorate the garden project with images,while the "Sea Salt and Xu Garden Map" has a lot of changes and annotation marks in drawings and texts,its function is not to appreciate and appreciate,and in addition,it is highly consistent with the garden itself,so the map points to the construction activity itself,and has some connection with the garden.Taking the "Hai Yan Xu Yuan Tu" as the object,this study draws on analytical methods such as art history iconography,hermeneutics,and reception aesthetics to conduct research based on the content and meaning of the image itself.On this basis,explore and study the goals,processes,and landscape layout and construction activities presented in image rendering.Divided into three chapters: The first chapter is a study of Xu Yongyi’s personal experience and the process of Xu Yuan’s rise and fall.Combining relevant historical materials and literature,it examines the time and location information related to Xu Yuan,and explores the relationship between Xu Yongyi,the owner of the garden,and gardens and garden maps;The second chapter is an image interpretation of the "Hai Yan Xu Yuan Tu",from rough reading to intensive reading,in-depth analysis of the source and nature of the image,the scene,overall features,and modification traces;The third chapter is an analysis of the construction activities of "Hai Yan Xu Yuan Tu" from painting to the garden,sorting out the internal construction methods of Xu Yuan,analyzing the corresponding zoning and staging of the map scenery,discussing the topology of Xu Yuan’s structural relationship based on the map scenery relationship,reconstructing the image,and completing the basic plane restoration work of Xu Yuan.The main research results of this paper are as follows:Firstly,In the background,it is clear about the background of Xu Yongyi’s characters,Xu Yuan’s creation,and the drawing background of "Xu Yuan Tu" and the relationship among them.The research proves that Xu Yuanxing was built in the 17 th year of Guangxu(1891),located in the east of Haiyan County,Jiaxing,with flat surrounding terrain and superior natural landscape conditions.Secondly,In terms of images,the position,overall and local characteristics of each scene in "Haiyan Xuyuan Map" are discussed."Xu Garden Map" is oriented by construction,and in the process of gardening,it embodies the instrumental nature of images.Thirdly,In the aspect of gardening,the landscape units and elements of Xu Garden were investigated in combination with the garden notes,and the various stages of gardening activities were clarified.From paper gardening to real gardening,the "Xu Garden Map" was materialized by materialized means.Taking "Haiyan Xuyuan Map" as an example,this paper focuses on the construction process of the transformation from image garden to space garden,aiming at exploring the basic design process of traditional gardens and the influence mechanism of the changes of the corresponding garden draft.
