Wang Qijun
The professor said
Traditional Chinese gardens share the same cultural roots as traditional Chinese painting. Gardens have long become the content of Chinese painting, and even become a category of painting, that is, garden paintings in landscape paintings, which are loved by many landscape painters.
On the other hand, the construction of gardens also often uses elements of landscape painting as a reference. The combination of garden architectural culture and landscape painting has formed landscape poetry and landscape prose. The "picturesque" landscape garden has become a kind of "adaptation" to enter people's inner world.

After the one-hour lecture, the activity moved on to a dialogue session.
This session was mainly led by Professor Wang Qijun, Professor Jiang Shouguo and Architect Li Yaxian to answer interesting questions raised by the enthusiastic audience.
The influence of traditional painting on landscape gardening was gradually developed and formed in history. There is a long tradition of "painting into the garden, because painting becomes a scene". As early as the Six Dynasties, there was the theory of landscape painting, and before landscape painting became an independent type in the Sui and Tang dynasties, landscape construction in gardens had already appeared and had considerable achievements, that is, gardening had its own set of traditions that imitated nature.
After the end of the on-site interview, the live broadcast was transferred to the Changyuan Garden of the China Garden Museum. This is a Suzhou-style garden, and Professor Wang Qijun's Chinese painting exhibition is being exhibited in this garden. Elegant Chinese paintings and calligraphy complement the traditional classical gardens. Professor Wang Qijun explained the artistic conception and meaning of his Chinese paintings on the spot.
Chinese gardens contain the code of harmony between man and nature, and pin down the ideal of poetic inhabitation. In China for 5,000 years, the tradition of gardening has been continuous.
The garden lecture hall activity of "Seeing Paintings in the Garden, Seeing the Garden in The Painting" had a total online live broadcast of 2 hours, 1872 views on the Kuaishou platform, 5298 views on the Weibo platform, and a total of 7170 views.
