Abstract: Han Qi’s construction of the government garden in Xiangzhou marked an early instance of applying the Yumintongle concept in the official gardens of Song dynasty. The landscape of this garden held significance in the northern region. However, due to the vagueness of historical records in subsequent generations, a clear demarcation of landscape details between this government garden and Han’s private garden is lacking. An examination of Han’s personal poetry provides the insight into the construction processes and architectural features of both gardens. Additionally, considering the political context, this paper delves into how shifts in Han’s gardening ideology across different periods influenced the development of two distinctive aspects in the Xiangzhou government garden as – Tongle Yuanchi and Liyin Xianfu, through architectural interventions and narrative representations of the landscape.
