China's earliest gardening monograph "Gardening" provides an incisive discussion on the relationship between garden architecture and other garden elements. "Gardening" has a total of ten chapters, including six chapters dedicated to garden architecture, including "Foundation", "House", "Decoration", "Doors and Windows", "Wall Wall", and "Paving the Floor". Modern garden architecture in China is very different from ancient garden architecture in terms of use and function. Parks have replaced private gardens as the main form of gardening. Garden architecture is increasingly appearing in parks, scenic spots, urban green spaces, hotel gardens, and even institutions and factories.

The long history and rich resources of Chinese culture have bred opportunities for generating huge wealth in China's cultural industry, and the fields in which the cultural industry attracts investment continue to expand. All relevant departments in all localities adhere to the government-led, public finance as the support, and grassroots as the focus, and vigorously develop cultural undertakings. Through the guidance of the government, diversified investment is guided, and the investment methods of public cultural services in various places are becoming increasingly diversified, and a diversified investment mechanism is taking shape. The garden and ancient architecture industry with the two concepts of "cultural industry" and "urban greening" has come in and is sought after by more businesses.

As an industry greatly affected by fixed assets, the garden and ancient construction industry has maintained a rapid growth momentum under the background of urbanization. The operation mode of urban garden ancient buildings represented by Tang Paradise and the operation mode of film and television culture gardens represented by Songcheng culture have achieved excess returns and have been recognized by the industry. At the same time, with the increasing prominence of environmental problems, the whole society pays more and more attention to the ecological environment.

From 2001 to 2010, the national urban greening fixed assets investment maintained a rapid growth trend, the investment increased from 163.2 billion yuan to 1235.90 billion yuan, the average growth rate reached about 22%, fully showing that the urban landscaping industry is a sunrise industry. In 2010, the greening area of China's urban built-up areas reached 149,45,38 hectares, the greening coverage rate of built-up areas was 22.34%, the green space rate was 17.10%, and the per capita green area of parks in cities was 66.<> square meters.

Garden ancient buildings can not only inherit traditional culture, but also play a positive role in promoting urban greening and environmental protection. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, under the general trend of the country revitalizing the cultural industry and placing more emphasis on environmental protection, garden ancient buildings will also be more developed.

The landscaping industry and enterprises should recognize the future development trend of ancient garden buildings

Landscaping can beautify and improve the living environment, which is the consensus of everyone. With the improvement of the level of landscaping in various places, the function of landscaping has also been newly expanded. Plants play an increasingly important role in health, medical treatment, environmental protection and other fields. For example, the use of plants to create a hidden wall to increase the privacy of the residence; Located near the highway, plants can be used to create a green barrier, so that the people in the car cannot see the community on the highway, and it also plays a role in sound insulation and noise reduction.

New garden projects have greater green requirements, in the past it was "the predecessor planted the tree, the descendant took advantage of the cool", now it is "now planting the tree, now taking the cool", by increasing the amount of green can quickly change the appearance of the city.

Landscaping has higher and higher requirements for plant diversity, and plant diversity can bring diversity to the landscape and reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. For example, there are more than 200 kinds of plants used in a residential area in Xiamen, and more than 80 kinds of plant varieties are used in some parks in the northeast alpine region.
