The Localized Application of Calligraphy Inscriptions and Traditional Chinese painting Imagery in Environmental Landscapes: A Case Study of the Lingering Garden Architecture

In the context of globalization, environmental landscapes face the dilemma of cultural homogenization, while the localized experiences of calligraphic inscriptions and Chinese painting imagery in classical gardens offer insights for regional cultural inheritance. This study takes the Lingering Garden as its object, analyzing how its calligraphic inscriptions—relying on carriers such as horizontal inscribed boards and couplets—achieve cultural translation through literary allusions, scholarly spirit, and landscape-related themes. From the dimensions of mountains-rivers, flowers-birds, and artistic conception, Chinese painting imagery constructs a three-dimensional pictorial realm through spatial layout and material color. These two elements deeply interact in content, form, and function, forming a cultural space where inscriptions and scenery mutually enhance each other.
