Musk makes shadows, shallow waters - the story of water

Water has life, wind and quiet, is one of the basic materials for human survival, and is an indispensable element in landscape design. Where there is no water, the aesthetic needs and the lack of water according to the Yijing The place of the elements often needs to create a waterscape, in which the Japanese dry mountain water is a classic, which is an unconventional way of gardening. It creates a virtual landscape of Zen ideas with simple materials and abstract methods.

The white sand of the dry mountain water symbolizes the stream, the river, the ocean or the cloud, and the stone symbolizes the mountain waterfall or the island. It is a characteristic virtual water landscape, and its white sand curve patterns are scorpion, wave, swirl, and retrace. The ripple pattern forms a waterless but water-like effect, conveying a mysterious and profound Zen concept. Therefore, the Japanese landscape is the artistic product of Japanese Zen thought and its local humanistic consciousness. It is a Japanese religious culture. The epitome of national culture. It is an ultra-simple and abstract freehand way to show the unique charm of Japanese gardens. It is regarded as the highest peak of Japanese garden art. It is widely used by its own nationals and accepted and recognized by meditation people all over the world. The landscape class and other textbooks are cited. As a virtual water, the dry landscape is unique in the landscape, but the dry landscape mainly belongs to the daylight landscape, and the night display effect is weak. How does virtual water exist at night? How can you extract the essence of dry mountains? How to create a characteristic virtual waterscape?

The night landscape is generally independent of the "night scene lighting", divided into lighting categories. Illuminators use light art to simulate the shape of water in nature, and create a virtual virtual landscape in addition to the characteristic, in which "water projection" is a typical case.

Let's first compare the virtual waterscape of Japan's dry landscape and lighting art:

It can be seen from the above comparison that the Japanese dry landscape and the light simulating waterscape art are all characteristic virtual water features. There is no water in the dry mountains, but people feel the water. It is more like “there is no sound at this time”; the art of lighting uses technological methods to create a variety of water images, which will become the expression of new elements in the landscape.

As the author explains in "The Law of Nature: Resonance of Light and Water", water is a liquid, with varying forms, different sunlight colors, different angles of sunlight, different wind effects and gravity, different dissolved substances. The color makes the dynamic water become brilliant, and the parallel light of the straight line is eccentric.

There is a shape in which the water stops when the wave stops, and there is a “water jet” that reflects the sunlight on the surface of the water. There is a broken “heart of the ocean” that penetrates the sea surface and illuminates the sea floor, and the shore water is swept back and forth on the shallow shore. The pattern forms the "water rhythm", which has the texture "water surface" that appears on the surface of the water. It has a special vision to see the reflection of the water surface in the past, the evening glow and the moonlight "the evening glow of the river", and the raindrops fall on the water surface to form the "autumn water" “涟漪”, there is a “light waterfall” with a line simulation, with spring water spouting, and crystal clear dew drops formed on the leaves.

These are the common forms of water.
