Being the outcome of human intelligence and a symbol of culture,gardening reflects the pursuit of harmony between art and nature,as well as the national temperament hidden under the art. When we look at all these different gardens,it is easy to tell that human beings are all the same when it comes to their love of nature and pursuit of beauty. Those are unrelated to race,culture and geographical location.

The transformation of Suzhou classical gardens from the private gardens in history to the modern urban public cultural space is not only an artistic expression in urban space,but also a spatial production of urban culture. The forum is also designed to inspire the public to think about how to shape the oriental aesthetics of the new era in the context of globalization.
