园林在中国古籍里根据不同性质也称作园、囿、苑、园亭、庭园、园池、山池、池馆、别业、山庄等。英美各国称之为Garden、Park、Landscape Garden。他们的性质不完全一样,但是却有一个共同的特点:在一定的地段范围内,利用并改造天然山水地貌或者人为的开辟山水地貌,结合植物的栽植和建筑的布置。从而构成一个供人们观赏、游息、居住的环境。 Gardens in Chinese ancient books are also called gardens, gardens, gardens, garden pavilions, gardens, garden ponds, mountain pools, pool halls, other industries, and mountain villas. British and American countries call it Garden, Park, and Landscape Garden. They are not exactly the same in nature, but they share one common characteristic: within a certain area, they use and transform natural landscapes or man-made landscapes, combined with planting and building layout. This creates an environment for people to watch, travel, and live.
