What does a small rockery mean?

Small rockery is an important element in the garden landscape, which can increase the aesthetic feeling and natural feeling of the courtyard. Rockery is generally composed of stone, soil, water and other materials, with various forms, some like mountains and some like ponds. Not only can it add unique functions to the courtyard, but it also has certain waterproof and breathable functions, which plays an irreplaceable role in improving and regulating the courtyard environment.

In ancient China, rockery was also a kind of garden technology with great cultural heritage value, and its production process was quite complicated, which needed special management. At that time, large-scale gardens were all fake mountains, and small bridges and flowing water were arranged in them, forming a balance between nature and humanity. Nowadays, with the revival and development of traditional culture, rockery has been more widely used in courtyard design.

It is worth mentioning that the small rockery also has a strong feng shui significance. In ancient China, rockeries were also regarded as "living fossils", which could add auspicious atmosphere to courtyards or houses. Among them, the ups and downs of mountains, the gurgling of water and the collocation of green plants are considered to have played a role in resolving hostility and good luck. Therefore, in addition to its aesthetic function, the small rockery also has profound traditional culture and geomantic connotation.
