Abstract:With its unique geographical location, abundant forest and spring resources, and profound cultural heritage, Tiger Spring boasts a distinctive landscape image—the spring-tea scenery, comprised of Tiger Spring water and Longjing tea—which is deeply influenced by seasonal variations. Building upon the natural foundation of spring and tea elements, Tiger Spring leverages cultural resources such as poetry, prose, lyric poetry, and verse from past scholars to form "natural timescapes," "cultural timescapes," and "dual natural-cultural timescapes," which has fostered and perpetuated the tradition of seasonal visits to this scenic site. The timescape culture of Tiger Spring is rooted in its long-standing historical landscapes, integrating humanistic and religious connotations that adapt to both local conditions and temporal rhythms. Research on the "spring-tea-human" relationship within the context of Tiger Spring’s timescape at Hangzhou’s West Lake can enrich the conceptual system of "timescape" in Chinese classical gardens. Furthermore, it offers valuable references for timescape design in future landscape architecture, promoting diverse expressions in garden timescape creation.
