Abstract

Yangzhou’s landscapes and their unique construction artistry are symbols of the city’s cultural heritage and form an important part of classical landscapes in Jiangsu Province, East China and Chinese canal history more broadly. Historically, Yangzhou traditional landscape construction techniques, which in the context of this paper refer to the ‘Yangzhou artistry’ attained maturity in the middle of the Qing dynasty (eighteenth to nineteenth century) as it emerged as its own genre. The five creative characteristics associated with Yangzhou artistry include the appropriate use of place and materials; craft and intention in planning; elegant, delicate and round forms; a unique integration of north and south; and a natural simplicity balanced with a serene profundity. To date, little has been written about the historical formation and development in the artistry of Yangzhou landscape construction techniques and knowledge of the art form is at risk of being lost. This paper seeks to dig deeper into the cultural characteristics of Yangzhou artistry and to lay the foundations for further intensive research of the protection for canal culture heritage.
