The Chinese word 园林 (yuánlín) for "garden" is composed of two characters: 园 (yuán) and 林 (lín). The character 园 originally meant "a piece of enclosed land" or "a courtyard", and it is often used in the context of gardens and parks. The character 林 originally meant "a forest" or "a grove of trees", and it is often used in the context of natural landscapes. When combined together, the two characters 园林 create a compound word that refers to a garden or a park that combines both natural and man-made elements. The word 园林 is often used to describe the traditional Chinese gardens that are known for their intricate designs, beautiful landscapes, and harmonious blend of nature and architecture.
