The essence of Chinese landscape architecture is realization of a space that embraces nature and human integrating the openness and encloseness. The concept of landscape architecture that artificially furnishes natural elegance into urban areas coincides with the spiritual basis of Chinese literati-painting which subjectifies the scenery of objective world and entrusts personal feelings on that. In other words, the ultimate ideal of Chinese landscape architecture is embodying the Utopia of confucian intellectual in a city. This paper has tried to shed a light on inter-relationship of literati-painting theory and Chinese landscape architecture theory through comparing them. It is the identical spiritual basis they shared harmoniously that made landscape architecture, poetry and painting possible to meet.

The door in Chinese ancient architecture was regarded as a face of a building group. The decoration made by the ancients on the door is the most beautiful in the entire building. Whether or not a building group has a door leaf, as a place for people to enter and leave the building, the door frame is a must. Thus the door frame is an inevitable ubiquity of the architectural community. According to different regions and its different materials, the decorative methods and decorative themes of their door frames have their own characteristics.
