From ancient times, the culture of garden stone carving began. Ancient philosophers, great scholars, officials and businessmen all like to decorate gardens in their own courtyards, and stone carving is one of the important components that have to be said. Garden stone carving not only makes the decoration of the whole courtyard more interesting, but also has more humanistic and artistic temperament, showing the complete unity of man and nature. The following Tuba Rabbit Xiaobian will introduce the classification and materials of garden stone carvings.
classification of garden stone carvings
There are many kinds of garden stone carvings, and different garden stone carvings have different uses and decorative effects. According to this characteristic, they are divided into practical, decorative and thematic garden stone carvings.
Practical garden stone carvings mainly provide practical effects for the courtyard environment. Common garden stone carvings include promenades, cloisters, pavilions, stone tables, stone benches, fountains, water balloons and so on, which can provide places for people to have a rest or watch.
Decorative garden stone carvings are mainly made for decorative effects, such as murals and flower windows in gardens. On the one hand, decorative garden stone carvings can form their own scenery, on the other hand, they can be in harmony with the whole environment.
Thematic garden stone carvings are garden sculptures made to express a certain theme, such as those of poets such as Li Bai and Bai Juyi, in order to publicize ancient Chinese culture and show their literary talents.
The carving forms of garden stone carvings are also different, including round carving, relief carving and hollow carving. Round carving is the most common form of carving. Relief is mainly used in scene sculptures such as garden murals. Hollow carving is mainly used for flower windows, garden ornaments and so on.
material of garden stone carving
Garden stone carving is widely used in installation art in courtyard greening, because it is very durable and can keep its shape intact all year round. The main materials of garden stone carvings are bluestone, granite, white marble and Henan yellow.
Henan yellow is a kind of marble material, which creates a noble and steady temperament by matching with elegant and atmospheric buildings.
Granite, as a common stone carving material, has the most natural flavor and artistic appeal, and can be naturally matched with gardens.
White marble is a kind of expensive stone. Its fine texture is especially suitable for sculpture, which can create a unique aesthetic feeling and artistic effect.

the significance of landscape sculpture
landscape sculpture is one of the environmental landscape design techniques, and many famous environmental landscapes at all times and at home and abroad adopt landscape sculpture design techniques. There are many landscape sculptures, and they are used to name this environment, so landscape sculptures play a special and positive role in environmental landscape design.
Hegel divided sculpture into two categories, and some sculptures are independent. Some sculptures serve to decorate the architectural space. The former environment is a place set by the sculpture art itself. The latter environment is only the relationship between sculpture and the buildings it embellishes, which not only determines the form of sculpture, but also in most situations. Next, we have to decide their content. Borrowing from Hegel's aesthetic language, the former is independent beauty and the latter is dependent beauty.
Landscape sculpture is essentially these two different types of beauty. Environmental sculpture is a kind of public art, which should closely form an organic whole with its environment. Function, emotional atmosphere and scale ratio, pursuing the artistic effect of layout in a specific environment. The location choice, environmental space and material factors of sculpture are important aspects to form a specific ideological and emotional atmosphere and ornamental conditions of garden landscape.
Modern gardens create rich and attractive landscapes in a limited space to meet the needs of viewers' aesthetic psychology. Excellent sculpture art at all times and in all countries is a cultural form, which can endow people with humanistic connotation and artistic edification. As a Chinese nation with profound cultural traditions, it is extremely important to develop and use traditional cultural resources to promote the development of modern landscape sculpture art in China.
The ornamental and decorative nature of landscape is a creative exploration when people meet the aesthetic needs. This exploration practice is based on the ability to transform objective things, and it is a pursuit of visual aesthetic pleasure. Human's cognition of beauty comes from the long-term awakening of self-consciousness. From summarizing the forms that are beneficial to human existence in evolution to discovering and discussing the laws in nature and consciousness, beauty is gradually established from the establishment of consciousness, and beauty is also transformed from simple instinct to ideological inquiry. When people reduce disasters and change their environment, they always want to meet the spiritual requirements of aesthetics. No matter whether this consciousness is instinctive or thinking, it exists in all the environments created by people.
In a word, garden stone carving, as a decorative art, can give people artistic enjoyment in both modeling design and space shaping. At the moment of material development and spiritual emptiness, the creation of urban landscape is like a clear spring in the desert, which gives people spiritual comfort and makes people regain their passion for life.
