古人以細膩的觸覺，觀察世事萬物，喜與自然共生；書畫琴棋詩酒花、文人的活動無一不融合於自然。中國園林透澈地體現了中國人崇尚自然的美學觀。

此作品的大小造形就如文房清玩，精巧玲瓏。物料為木材，木料仿石，遊玩於人工與天工之間，令古代文人意趣用另一角度再現於當今世代。一個能置於室內放於案頭的園林更能配合於今時，不緊讓觀者能享近在咫尺的山青水秀，更令人反思與大自然的關係。

The ancient Chinese scholars viewed the cosmos with an exquisite sense of harmony. Cultural activities, such as Chinese calligraphy, painting, music, chess, poetry and flower viewing involve the state of being harmonious with the nature.

Traditional Chinese gardens demonstrate the appreciation of naturalism from an aesthetic point of view. The size and shape of this art piece is as delicately wrought as the stationery of the Chinese calligraphy. The material used in this art work is wood which imitates well as though it is made of solid rock and blurs the distinction between the organic and the man-made. This art piece represents the ancient Chinese garden from a new perspective.

A miniaturized garden that can be put on the desk is perfect for the hustle and bustle of the modern people. Not only can the observer enjoys and appreciates the garden at a close distance, but also they can have a chance to reflect their relationships with the mother nature.
