Abstract:The space construction of the Study Yard is often created through the combination of landscape elements such as rocks, water, buildings and plants to express the quiet and secluded cultural atmosphere. As a factor of space shaping and atmosphere rendering, rocks play an important role in the Study Yard. In this study, we selected the representative Study Yard of the Yuanmingyuan during the Qianlong period. And then based on“40 Scenarios of the Yuanmingyuan”“Manuscripts of Yangshi Lei Family ”and other image materials, we summarized from three aspects: Stone Materials, the Form of Stacking and Landscape Construction through combinating literature research and fieldwork. Finally, we analyzed the art of rockery in the Study Yard of the Yuanmingyuan. Our results will provide a reference for the research of royal garden Study Yard and the construction of contemporary gardens embodying cultural artistic conception characteristics.
