Applied Research on Yin and Yang Five Elements Feng Shui Thought in Garden Space Sequence Design

Abstract

The five elements of yin and yang and the idea of feng shui are an important part of the traditional Chinese concept of environmental construction. Its influence is not only reflected in the site selection, landscape configuration and spatial organisation, but also deeply permeates the shaping process of the garden space sequence. The garden space sequence is not a simple path series, but a continuous aesthetic experience formed by starting and closing, virtual and real opening and closing, and static and dynamic conversion. By introducing the concept of yin and yang into garden design, we can understand the intrinsic mechanism of spatial contrast, rhythm adjustment and order generation; starting from the concept of the five elements, it helps to recognise the relationship between mountains, water, plants, materials and direction; feng shui thought provides holistic ideas in site adaptation, environmental coordination and artistic conception. This article takes the sequence design of garden space as the research object, sorts out the impact of yin and yang five elements feng shui thought on the traditional garden space organisation, analyses its specific embodiment in the entrance, transition, main scene and tail scene and other links, and further explores its inspiration for modern garden space layout, site shaping and cultural expression, for contemporary gardens Forest design provides a theoretical reference with local cultural roots.
