一直以来普遍认为中国古典园林受道家和禅宗思想影响较深,其实不然。孔子在春秋时期创立了儒家学说,汉董仲舒糅合道家、阴阳五行家的思想建立了新儒学体系,晋以后儒释道的分合消长,其对中国古典园林的影响是不容忽视的。宋明理学更是对于中国天人之际的宇宙观提出了独到的见解,萌生了壶中天地,芥子纳须弥的天人体系,并极大地影响了中国古典园林的空间关系与景点设计。同时儒学在古典园林的居住体验、审美主张、审美境界、园林美学、园林意境等方方面面均植入了特定的基因,形成了中国园林独树一帜的山水体验。而以此为准则的古典园林修复和再造工作任重而道远。
It has always been believed that Chinese classical gardens are deeply influenced by the thought of Taoism and Zen, but that is not the case. After Confucius founded Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period, Dong Zhongshu established a new system of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty which blends the ideas of Taoism and Yin-yang & Five-element School. Undoubtedly, it is the growth and decline of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism due to their on-again, off-again relationship that has influenced Chinese classical gardens since the Jin Dynasty. The heart-mind theory in the Song Dynasty enriches greatly the spatial relation and scenic design of Chinese classical gardens, for it conceives the original opinion of Chinese view and system of man and nature to embrace and reproduce an enormous universe into a very little space. At the same time, Confucianism has implanted specific genes in various aspects of classical gardening such as living experience, aesthetic proposition, aesthetic realm, garden aesthetics, and garden artistic conception, thus forming a unique landscape experience of Chinese garden. In fact, there is still a long way to go for the restoration and reconstruction of classical gardens based on this criterion.
