Traditional Chinese gardens, as a form of material wealth and artistic creation, aimed at meeting the material and spiritual demands of the ruling classes in feudal society, including emperors, nobles, officials, landlords, literati, and merchants. “Yuan-You”, the gardens and parks owned by emperors, were mainly built in or adjacent to palaces, in the countryside, and areas of outstanding natural beauty. Additionally, some private gardens arose in capitals, cities with dominant roles in the economy or culture, and regions with superior physical conditions. Some temple gardens were also erected in the holy lands of religious areas, and town-house gardens were created in downtown streets.
