GUEST ARTIST

On Dec.1st, a famous professional landscape architect ZhaoBing came to our school. The whole grade 10 came to the hall to listen to the artist's speech. ZhaoBing mainly talked about the Suzhou gardens. "Garden" comes from the Latin. He told us the history of the garden. It can be traced as far back as spring and autumn period. There was five styles of the gardens in the old China:

1.Royal garden

2.Private garden

3.religious garden

4.view garden

In the encyclopedia, garden is a living area with beautiful plants, stones, water, hills, etc. around. Gardens were designed for people not only to live but also to enjoy the life.
Many emperors of old China or Egypt made gardens as their graves. Gardens has different characteristics. It is very unique. It can not be very special without any of these four things: plants, stones, water, hills. It also needs great constructions and that will make it looks perfect. There was another famous artist described the stones of the Tai Lake. Just a second he thought of four words to describe the stones: thin, leak, thoroughly and wrinkle. This could embody how high his average is . He described so fitly that many people always praise him.

Suzhou garden is really great and very beautiful. If someone lives in the garden, he must be very comfortable and always has a good mood. The nice environment may make a person live longer and happier through all life.
I visited Suzhou garden when I was very young. At that time, I did not understand anything because of the young age . I just knew I came to a place like wonderland. I breathe the air greedily and watched the clean water and there were many fish in the pond. The buildings were also great. I even thought I was in the old China and enjoying the scene by walking in the garden. It made me feel fantasy. I hope I can have a garden like this.

ZhaoBing said many things about the garden. I learnt a lot from his speech. He studied the garden deeply. He is a really professional landscape architect, an artist.
This is a unforgettable experience about Suzhou garden with ZhaoBing. Maybe I can use it on many things in the future. This will help me a lot.

Today is a wonderful day.
