Abstract:The Chinese fascination with landscape is already extreme, firstly, because of the way in which it makes peace with the fluidity of all things,yin and yang, and secondly, because of the way in which the patterns of the mountains and water veins imply the endlessness of the Kunlun myth of space and time. The former is to construct a method of cognition of the world, while the latter is to maintain a sense of belonging to its cultural origins and to forget the confines of time and space and the realm of death and life. Throughout the ages, those who have lived in seclusion in the hills and gardens have mostly reflected their thinking in the teachings of Taoism and Buddhism, but why did they return to the famous religious mountains, which are the most beautiful places in the mountains and forests, where they have been able to live and travel in a self-contained cave? This is the reason for the use of the Shidong Temple in Yunnan to create an essay on his experience of "walking, looking, living and travelling", which raises the question of what kind of teaching is being used in today's gardens; to inquire into the origins of the ancient hermits and their worries about the changes in life and death; and to inspire the current living environment and the thought of appropriate rationale.
