The plaques, inscriptions and couplets in the garden, like flowers, trees, bamboos and stones, are also important factors in forming the landscape and creating the artistic conception. China gardens use these cultural symbols to "show the artistic realm of gardens and guide people to enjoy the beauty of gardens". (Zhou Wuzhong) Poetry, calligraphy and inscriptions not only create a quaint and elegant atmosphere, but also play a role in setting off the theme of the garden and making the finishing touch.
