Therefore, the classical gardens of Suzhou are selected as the microcosm of Chinese gardens, and the artificial aesthetic characteristics of the space constructed in the classical gardens are explored from a small perspective, which also provides an opportunity to seek the meeting point between modern space design and garden space aesthetics.
