What are the feng shui taboos in landscape design?

In recent years, with the sustained and rapid growth of China's economy and the acceleration of urbanization, various regions and units have built parks, paved green spaces and repaired squares, and the landscape industry has shown a thriving scene. But we should also see calmly that there are still many misunderstandings in the design of urban gardens in China.

Every plant has its yin-yang and five elements. If it is consistent with the eight characters of the owner, it will naturally play a benign role in the prosperity of the population. If they restrict each other, punish each other and hurt each other, the effect will be completely opposite. Bottle orchids are suitable for people with five elements of water. Planting it in the living room can improve the atmosphere and bring good luck to the owner.

1, don't pursue high-grade, luxurious, divorced from nature and against nature.

For example, in the water body design of urban parks, as long as we let nature take its course, planting wet plants on the curved lakeshore and aquatic plants such as lotus flowers in the lake will form a beautiful and cordial natural landscape. However, some designers built the lakeshore with marble, surrounded it with white marble guardrail, reinforced the lake bottom with concrete, and built a deep pond to raise aquatic plants. Although it looks upscale, luxurious and uniform, it makes the whole lake lose its natural charm and become a completely artificial lake, which violates the original intention of garden design.

2, avoid blind imitation, copying, lack of personality.

Every garden work should have its own unique style and local characteristics, which deeply reflects the profound cultural and historical connotation of the region. However, due to the history of modern China, the western garden style had an abyss-like influence on China gardens, which led to European and American gardens blooming everywhere in China, and other places followed suit, thus losing the style and personality of China gardens. Therefore, our landscape designers require not only the forms of various landscape styles, but also the spirit of various landscape styles. They should absorb the essence of European and American landscape design on the basis of China's landscape style, and combine local unique culture to develop creative works.

3, to avoid the lack of humanistic care, regardless of human needs.

The purpose of urban landscape construction is to beautify people's lives and cultivate people's sentiments, so people-oriented design is very important. At present, many cities have built big squares. However, the ground of such a large square is either paved hard or dominated by lawns. There are only a few trees on both sides of the road, even if there are many rest facilities, they should be placed in the open air. In the hot summer and rainy season, there is no shade and no shelter facilities, and no one can stay here for a long time.

4. Avoid focusing only on the visual grandeur, style, nobility and gorgeous formal beauty, regardless of the project investment and future management costs.

At present, China's overall economic development level is not high, so landscape construction should be done within our capabilities, and we should not blindly compare with western developed countries. Lawn fever, which has arisen in recent years, has occurred in large and medium-sized cities, and eventually aborted because of high management and maintenance costs, resulting in great waste of manpower and material resources. This lesson is also profound.

5. Avoid ignoring the harmony and unity with the local environment and destroying the overall ecological environment.

Natural terrain is a gift from nature, so we should fully consider the harmony and unity with the local environment when designing gardens. Because of the mountains, it is water-shaped, and the scenery comes from the environment. For example, Xiling Printing Factory in Gushan is a typical terraced garden in China. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside and the top of the mountain, there are many buildings, roads and green spaces, but they are not artificial platforms that cut nature layer by layer, but are attached to the natural mountain terrain, which is particularly cordial and appropriate.

6. Avoid random configuration of garden plants.

Garden plants are living individuals. Designers should fully consider the local soil, fields and ecological environment, and can imagine the effect of plants growing for several years and their impact on the surrounding environment.

7. Avoid paying attention to only one plant and ignoring the diversity of garden plant configuration.

Biodiversity is based on the ecological environment and also constitutes the natural landscape. If the urban landscape is alive, it must be built on the ecological basis of biodiversity. If only one plant is planted, it is not conducive to the prevention and control of pests and diseases.

8, avoid only indicate the types of garden plants, not clear specific varieties and specifications.

The differences between garden plant varieties are sometimes huge. Ambiguity often makes the designer's intention not fully expressed, and sometimes even has the opposite effect. For example, in many garden design works, it is generally stipulated that seedlings are osmanthus fragrans and rose, but osmanthus fragrans can be divided into Jingui, Yin Gui, Dangui and Sijigui. Roses can also be divided into perfume roses and miniature roses, so it is easy for builders to shoddy and use low-priced varieties, which can not achieve the expected design effect.
