The Ding Jia He Park located in front of the government building of Huangdao is a reflection of Feng Shui principles that is the traditional Chinese art that determines the placement of objects to enhance the natural yin/yang balance.
Feng Shui which literally means
"wind" and "water" emphasizes general geographic
orientation, such as the relationship to nearby mountains or bodies of water.
The principle of Feng Shui relates to
the flow of energies in nature. The ideal orientation of a building, is facing
out to sea, lake or river with a mountain behind , which also gives the best
view and a cooling breeze.
Indeed the beautiful Ding Jia He park with
the flowing river water and cooling breeze, gives the feeling of the flowing nature
energies to the Government Building.
The Ding Jia He Park design, expressing the
Chinese art of landscape design, focuses on the careful blending of nature with
man-made structures. The delicate balancing of four main elements of Feng Shui to
create a harmonious environment where yin and yang energies compliment and
contrast in beautiful results in a sensual and spiritual experience for the
visitors.
The Four Elements of Feng Shui incorporated
in Chinese garden and park design are:
Water - Represents the Yin energy (cool,
soft) that is the living pulse of the
Garden.
Stone - Balancing the Yin Energy of the water, rock formations represent
mountains and Yang Energy (warm, hard).
Plants - Symbols of human qualities such as
endurance (pines), flexibility (bamboo) and purity (lotus) are incorporated
into Chinese Garden Design through careful plant selections.
Architecture - Arrangement of the buildings
within the Chinese Garden is focused on creating spaces that enhance the garden
design, plants and beautiful views.
We can see the four main elements
above in the Ding Jia He park and enjoy the beauty expecially in spring and summer.
This park is one of the best park in Huangdao. Huangdao which means "yellow island" in Chinese is a
district of Qingdao, Shandong province, in China.
