The images mainly contain five kinds of activities, that is, planting flowers, appreciating flowers, arranging flowers, picking flowers and painting flowers, which combine traditional Chinese literati's interest and the local customs of Guangfu, showing the characteristics suit both refined and popular taste. These flower activities also interact with the spatial layout, architectural forms and planting form in the classical gardens of Guangfu, reflecting the interaction between the spatial creation characteristics of Lingnan gardens and the activities and cultural concepts of garden dwellers.
