江南园林一直是中国园林研究及环境设计专业的主要研究对象,特别是明清园林。一方面因为明清以来江南地区较为富庶,商贾绅士造园众多,其中造园技术和鉴赏水平等较能代表中国私家园林的水准。另一方面,相对与宋元时期的园林,明清两代遗留下的园林遗迹,描述园林的文字记载也相对较多,有利于学者考察研究。因而明清私家园林成为园林专业主要的研究对象。本文以文献为基础资料,以塘栖镇私家园林为对象研究明中期成化至万历年间江南的造园活动。 Jiangnan Gardens has always been the major research object of Chinese landscape architecture and environmental design, especially the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the one hand, since the Ming and Qing dynasties were prosperous in the south, merchants and gentlemen made many gardens, among which gardening techniques and appreciation levels were more representative of the standard of Chinese private gardens. On the other hand, compared with the gardens in the Song and Yuan dynasties, the remains of gardens left over by the Ming and Qing dynasties, the description of garden writings is relatively large, which is conducive to the study and study of scholars. Therefore, private gardens in Ming and Qing Dynasties become the major research subject of landscape architecture. In this paper, based on the literature, the private garden in Tangxi Town was used to study the gardening activities in Jiangnan from Chenghua to Wanli in Ming Dynasty.
