On the Change of Expression Concept of Chinese Characters in Landscape Design

The element of Chinese characters should be applied, inherited and developed in the landscape design, demonstrating its superiority, reflecting the cultural differences of nations and highlighting the national characteristics. The Chinese character applied in the landscape not only shows the visual image but more importantly, it is also the accumulation of traditional historical culture and the expression carrier of it. Landscape design conducts in-depth inquiries and studies of various aspects of regional culture, landscape environment and material element, explores representative elements of the local area, takes the relationship between "form" and "posture" of Chinese character as an important part of the artistic thinking with "implication" as a core, which reveals the inner beauty of Chinese characters to a larger extent. Due to the development and progress of society, people live under the imperceptible influence of western culture. It is difficult for some of the traditional customs and legacies to keep a foothold in the contemporary society which are gradually losing its functional characteristics. Chinese characters involve very strong enlightenment significance and exert invisible effects on people, so in contemporary times, the evolutionary forms of Chinese characters are not only decorative, but also with strong cultural significance. Landscape design should follow the laws and principles of the beauty of form so as to present the sense of rhyming and rhythm. Various visual elements in design should utilize the spirit of Chinese characters in addition to their own essential requirements of forms so as to achieve the coordination and harmony among various elements in the landscape.
