| Annotation: | Johnston begins with a historical overview of the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties during which the Chinese garden tradition flowered.

Johnston demonstrates how scholar gardeners, grounding their aesthetic expressions in Daoist philosophy, also experienced simultanaous influences from Buddhist and Confucian philosophy. |
