四、(2025·常州市第二十四中学期中改编)阅读表达。
Classical Chinese gardens are purposely designed so that no matter where you stand, you can never see the whole thing at once. The purpose of a classical Chinese garden is to let people enjoy nature. Besides, the classical Chinese gardens have another purpose—to inspire(激发) artistic expression like poetry, literature or painting. Nearly all Chinese gardens have the things mentioned below.
Water is a necessary thing that no Chinese garden can go without. Water in a garden typically symbolizes(象征) a lake or even the ocean. Water can even symbolize life, movement and dreams.
Large rocks typically symbolize mountains. Many of the rocks in Suzhou gardens come from Lake Tai, shaped by the flow of water over thousands of years. Smaller rocks are often on show in fancy halls. This shows the appreciation the garden owners had of these rocks.
There can't be a garden without plants. Different plants have different meanings. Bamboo, for example, stands for strength. Flowers, meanwhile, add colour to a garden, with each carrying a symbolic meaning of its own.
In Chinese gardens, pavilions (亭) are usually placed in some of the best viewing places. In the past, pavilions were also used as places for garden owners to reflect, paint and write poems.
In fact, classical Chinese gardens are in some ways very much like traditional Chinese landscape paintings. And all of the parts show the importance of nature in Chinese culture.
