On Dec. 1st, Professor Zhao Bing （the man in the photo on the left side of the article）came to our school and gave us a speech. Mr. Zhao Bing is a landscape architect, and he is a teacher in Nanjing Forestry University. As an expert on landscaping, Professor Zhao Bing had many works. His artwork was located in many famous places, like Confucius Temple and Suzhou Classical Gardens. Mr. Zhao introduced us something about the design of the Suzhou Classical Gardens.
During the presentation, Mr. Zhao told us how the people designed the Suzhou Classical Gardens. There were two important way to design a garden. Planting was a very important part for a garden. Different types of planting might create different senses of feeling to people. Suzhou Classical Gardens used a very special way to build up the plantations. The designers planted different kinds of trees around the houses. People would think that the houses were hidden behind the forests.
The second way of designing was using water to separate the houses. Many people thought water was the best thing in the world. Water was very clean, when you looked down into the water, it would show yourself truly. That’s the reason why people in ancient China loved water very much. In the Suzhou Classical Gardens, many houses were separated by different sizes of lake or pounds. During the summer time, these lakes could provide people a cool environment. Also, the lakes around the house could make the person calm down. The designers wanted to use the lakes to create a sense of serenity to the people who lived there.
Mr. Zhao Bing also mentioned that a garden might be influenced by the designer’s emotion. For example, an active designer might made a garden which could make people felt energetic. On the other hand, a designer which is not very emotional might create a garden which could let people felt calmness.

Actually, I don’t like this presentation very much. I think this presentation was a little bit boring. Professor Zhao Bing used very nice pictures of Suzhou Classical Gardens to show us how the people decorated the gardens while he was saying. I like the way he used very much. However, Mr. Zhao Bing used many professional words which were very hard for me to understand. It was boring for me to sit there for more than 1 hour and just seeing the pictures without understanding the most of the speech.
