Abstract | The Yangtze River Delta area is a center of the emergence of Chinese civilization. Classical gardens survived to the present day, located in the Jiangnan region are of the greatest interest in terms of the authenticity of Chinese garden culture, which escaped the strong influence of nomadic tribes. This work studied 62 gardens of the Jiangnan region, located in 15 large and small cities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Greater Shanghai, which differ in their functional purpose and were built in different historical periods. Also, the history of gardens and parks was studied, their typology was determined during the construction period, and the structure of the complex was analyzed. The article provides a list and detailed description of mandatory planning elements, as well as an analysis of the climatic and natural features of the research region. Special attention is paid to the plant components, namely the species composition and origin of the species most commonly found in the gardens of the Jiangnan region, as well as plant symbolism. The species composition of trees, shrubs, tree lianas and bamboos in the region was found as represented by 294 species, excluding varieties and cultivars. The ratio of native and introduced species of woody plants and bamboos characteristic of the gardens are that more than 90% of the plants of the local flora are found. The study found that gardens in the Yangtze River Delta remain historically reliable and can play the role of potential resource banks in the restoration of disturbed natural areas. |
