11. When looking for color in a garden, you cannot seek it based on reality. Northern gardens are distinguished by their colors, with green pines and vermilion corridors lining the blue sky and white clouds. Jiangnan gardens, with their small pavilions facing the stream and whitewashed walls and low beams, create countless image changes. White is not color, but color arises from itself; pool water is colorless, but color is the richest. Seeking color within color is not as good as seeking color within colorlessness. Therefore, in the garden, it is better to seek scenery in places without scenery, seek sounds in silent places, and seek movement in movement, rather than seeking movement in silence. There is a scene in the scene, and the big mirror and the big pond in the garden are all found in the absence of scene.

——Chen Congzhou

12. In garden landscapes, tranquility is embedded in movement, and movement emerges from stillness. There are many changes, and the wonders of landscaping are endless. The so-called understanding of changes, Then it became the text of heaven and earth. If you sit quietly in the pavilion, you will see moving clouds and flowing water, birds flying and flowers falling. Boats and people are walking around, but the mountains, rocks and trees are still and quiet. The still water is still, the swimming fish are moving, the stillness and movement are intertwined, creating a beautiful scene of its own. Therefore, if you observe movement with stillness, and if you observe stillness with movement, the scene will emerge. ... All things are contented when they contemplate quietly, and the joy of the four seasons is the same as that of others.
