Diversity and unity

Unity in the courtyard refers to a lot of aspects, such as the form and style, gardening materials, colors, lines, etc., from the whole to the local area to seek unity, but too much unity is dull, sparse unity is messy. So often in the unity of the top plus a variety, meaning the need to seek unity in the change, lest it become a hodgepodge. At present, the world's main popularity of the following three types of courtyard:

1. Natural courtyard - the 20th century, people put forward the "return to nature" slogan, food, clothing, housing and transportation are fervently pursuing the natural, courtyard form is no exception.

2. Western-style courtyard - also known as the regular courtyard. In the current economically developed society, the courtyard gradually flourished, and more and more intense, so as to form a large area of man-made unnatural landscape.

3. Mixed courtyard - originally mixed and unity are contradictory, but the current natural and Western-style mixed application in the same courtyard has been quite popular, and become a "style".

Balance

Balance is the center of vision on both sides of the scene and in front of the equal interest and feel the weight. For example, the Japanese Kusan Shui garden design will use a dry well as the visual center, and the dry well is often accessorized with a small stone statue or a stone night light, there is no strict symmetry, but it is very balanced and comfortable.

Proportions

The courtyard everywhere need to consider the proportion of the relationship between the local and the overall proportion, down to a small wood and a stone and the environment of the small local. Once the proportion is lost, the critic is easy to find. Just as the five facial features, the appropriate proportion can be honored as "beauty", and vice versa can be imagined.

Rhythm

In music or poetry according to a certain pattern of repetition of similar rhythms that is known as rhyme. Design courtyard is the same, only clever use of a variety of rhymes synchronization, in order to make visitors get a sense of rhythm.
