Abstract:Lyre is closely related to gardens. Many garden titles are named after lyre. The garden environment for lyre-playing is better than other places. Listening to the sound of lyre in gardens can be divided into two parts: one is listening to the sound of tangible lyre and the other is listening to the sound of invisible lyre. The invisible lyre means that there is no lyre in fact, but it seems to hear the sound of lyre while listening to the sound of nature. Lyre has the voice of showing social identity and entertainment, forgetting sadness and creating a special atmosphere. Lyre metaphors a kind of elegant culture, implying the aesthetic ideal and life style of the ancient Chinese. The virtual and real lyre artistic conception and artistic atmosphere created in garden is a unique aesthetic experience of elegant appreciation.
