Throughout Chinesegardenscene.com, we would be negligent; should we not include factors from all three, that have had an overwhelming influence, to a larger or lesser degree - in the creation of Chinese gardens & penjing.

We have provided resources, to further study Buddhism, as it relates to the Chinese garden art of landscape miniaturisation;



similarly, we have quoted from Confucius and provided LINKAGE to further study, should you wish.


Please visit a through  garmahis.com & Kongzi.sina.com, a rather ' efflorescent,'

efflorescence

musical & visual introduction to.......


                                                    Confucius

WARNING: 

The music is quite hard to turn off, it is so wonderful, to listen, to and the visuals are taking ancient philosophy to a whole new celestial height.


Please visit ChinaCulture.com, through LINKAGE:   


         Confucius       &    Chinese Modesty



Within the last of the three, lies significant contribution to miniature landscape creation; through the very " Nature," of it....

If you wonder how the literati scholars, that were once, resident in their gardens and able to create such wonderful works - then, after meditating over the " Path to being a Chinese Garden Scholar,"

through LINKAGE: read about their philosophy of Life, they bought into, all those years ago -  


  

            Reaching the extremely mysterious & abstruse state


Sometimes in life; it is about what you need to detach yourself from; rather than just cultivate.


We would also be remiss, here at Chinese Garden Scene - if we were not to pay homage, to another trait;

the likes of which, is seldom found in may other cultures, on earth:
