The diversity of flower species and forms is the natural basis for the formation of flower culture. Rhododendron is one of the top ten traditional flowers in China, with the reputation of ‘the beauty in flowers’. China has rich natural resources. From ancient times to the present, there are many literary works on Rhododendron. This paper analyzes and describes the literary works of different rhododendrons by appreciating the literary works of rhododendrons. It is believed that three different colors of red rhododendrons, white rhododendrons and purple rhododendrons can bring people different psychological feelings. The color depicts three different artistic conceptions and renders three different atmospheres. The azaleas expressing different emotional colors in literary works are mainly divided into two categories. One is the azaleas expressing sad feelings, showing the author 's inner desolation ; the second is a cuckoo that expresses a warm emotional color, highlighting the breath of wealth. Post-rainfall scenes and war scenes are important carriers for the expression of azalea situations. Through the appreciation of ancient literary works describing cuckoos, the cuckoo culture in ancient literature is appreciated, and the cuckoo culture and natural resources are combined and applied to the construction of modern gardens, so that people can feel the cultural edification and cultural charm in the garden, and get a richer experience of viewing flowers and flowers.

    The night garden provides a place for the urban public to relax and entertain at night. As an important part of the night garden, aromatic plants play a positive role in the development of human physical and mental health. By tracing the origin of night garden, it is found that aromatic plants have been used for landscaping at home and abroad since ancient times, and the research on night garden has been carried out earlier in foreign countries. At present, the planning and design of night garden mostly considers the combination of bright color aromatic vegetation and landscape elements, and there are few studies on the combination and configuration of aromatic plants. The research on the health benefits of night gardens to the human body mainly considers the impact of single aromatic plant volatiles at night on the human body, and lacks discussion on the combination of aromatic plants. In summary, it is of great significance to consider the differences or synergies between the combined configuration of aromatic plants and the efficacy of single aromatic plants on human health effects, as well as the public 's preference for the configuration of aromatic plants, so as to provide reference for the planning and design of night garden.

    The dragon and phoenix pattern on the Chaoshan Drawnwork handkerchief is the result of the exchange and fusion of Chinese and Western decorative patterns since the nineteenth century, as well as a medium that reflects the shift in aesthetic philosophy in the Chaoshan region at that time. By classifying and comparing the physical materials of white silk handkerchiefs collected by the people of the Chaoshan region, it is evident that the dragon and phoenix pattern represents the Chaoshan people's perception of the existence of life and the beauty of life in time and space, and is a projection of spiritual time and space. Utilizing the Chinese philosophical mode of thought, we examine the uniqueness of the dragon and phoenix themes from three perspectives: "gathering, " "sense, " and "permanence." We examine their singularity, inner "yin" and "yang" relationship, and the objective "harmony" and "life" rules that govern them. We will offer a fresh viewpoint on the aesthetic examination of traditional Chinese crafts.

Finally, the Better-Worse coefficient is used to clarify the priority of each demand, which is used as the direction and basis for the renewal design of the ancestral hall in traditional villages. Finally, 2 essential needs, 15 desirable needs and the prioritization of each need are identified, which points out the direction and idea of ancestral hall renewal design. From the perspective of users' needs, the KANO model is used to effectively analyze the types and priorities of the needs of the users of traditional village ancestral halls under the collective memory, which provides scientific and reasonable new ideas for the renewal design of similar traditional buildings and is conducive to the improvement and enrichment of the design theory of the existing ancestral halls.

    The ancient poetry condensed by the rural landscape and the poet's spirit is the aesthetic symbol of the living environment of Jiangnan water village. With the integrated and modernized construction of the Yangtze River Delta megacity cluster, the poetic charm of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River is gradually fading away. Based on the thought system of environmental aesthetics in ancient China, this study analyzes the aesthetic characteristics of "naturalness" and "artificiality" in the ancient poems of South China. And conduct an aesthetic preference analysis of the image elements of "environment - human settlement" in the water towns of Jiangnan in ancient poetry texts. The results show that environmental elements such as mountains and forests, rivers, the sun and the moon, flowers and trees, together with human settlement elements such as villages and farmlands, constitute poetic scenes such as the "mountain-water pattern", "river village settlements" and "rural farming" of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Finally, on the basis of this, the author puts forward the poetic expression path of "environment-human settlement" from three aspects: landscape painting, flower and wood scene and pastoral interest, which provides guidance for the protection of landscape image of Jiangnan and the scene construction of poetic dwelling.

    構建“宜居宜業的和美鄉村”,鄉村景觀的精心打造成為了推動鄉村產業轉型升級的關鍵杠杆。在此進程中,文化不僅是景觀建設的靈魂核心,美育則扮演著傳承鄉村傳統文化精髓的重要角色。和美鄉村的美學構建,是一場深刻的歷史與現實交織、理論與實踐並進的探索,它巧妙融合國家宏觀戰略與地方具體實踐,共同繪就和美鄉村的宏偉藍圖。本文深入剖析了美育在和美鄉村建設中的不可或缺性、迫切需求及其鮮明的時代特徵。美育的融入不僅關乎鄉村面貌的美化,更是對鄉村文化根脈的深情回望與未來展望。在美育與鄉村景觀的深度融合中,力求展現“人善”的和諧之美與“本真”的自然之韻,引導公眾形成積極向上的審美觀念,進而催生“美學經濟”的嶄新業態。並創新性地提出了構建“美欲需求”、“美的意境”及“美學經濟”三大維度的策略框架,讓鄉村景觀不僅提升了美學價值和文化內涵,推動了中華傳統文化的活態傳承,為打造和美鄉村貢獻設計力量。

    本研究探討了雙色圖案中色彩自然感與色彩對比度對審美偏好的影響。通過實驗分析發現,高自然感的色彩組合通常能顯著提升圖案的美感和喜愛度,而低自然感的組合則在高對比度條件下表現更優。研究還揭示了參與者在圖案選擇中會將色彩偏好與個人經歷及應用場景相聯繫,在大場景中傾向於柔和色彩組合,小物體中則偏好明亮且對比強烈的組合。本研究為雙色圖案設計中的色彩選擇提供了新的見解,有助於提升設計的審美效果和應用價值。

    In urban development, the phenomenon of social spatial differentiation is a prominent issue in the context of globalization and political and economic transformation. Represented by the two typical settlements of human production and life, urban and rural areas, this is manifested in the uneven distribution of various resource elements between urban and rural areas. Based on this, this article focuses on the spatial transformation of social issues, focusing on the "new cities" in the urban-rural transition zone of metropolises. It explores the "ecological transformation" and "cultural transformation" of new city construction, focusing on the ecological value demands of spatial justice, the comprehensive development of human freedom, and the practice of ecological civilization construction. It explores the strategies for the construction of Shanghai's five major new cities and the integration of urban and rural development.

    鄉村公共空間一直以來都是維繫鄉村居民與鄉村關係的紐帶,也是傳承鄉土文化的重要載體。本研究通過實地調查、訪談,考察涼山州四季吉村的社會記憶要素,發現該地區的公共空間在功能性和文化表達方面存在較大的不足。基於此,本文以四季吉村為研究對象,通過傳統建築形式的復原和創新,強調建築記憶歷史與現代的融合。通過採用當地材料,將景觀引入庭院以及不破壞場地原有的生態環境,強調人與自然和諧共生。通過文化符號的再現和應用,強調突然紋樣記憶的傳承和認同。研究結果表明,基於社會記憶理論的設計有效改善鄉村公共空間的功能和美觀,促進社會記憶的延續,增強了村民對公共空間的情感聯繫, 對助力鄉村振興和文化傳承具有重要的意義。
