With the improvement of living standards, now many people will decorate their own gardens. As one of the important stones for decorating gardens, they have a lot of knowledge of placement.

置石是以石材或仿石材布置成自然露岩景觀的造景手法。置石還可結合它的擋土、護坡和作為種植床或器設等實用功能，用以點綴風景園林空間。置石一般以觀賞為主，結合一些功能方麵的作用，以山石為材料，作獨立性或附屬性的造景布置。

Stone placement is a kind of landscape making technique that uses stone or imitation stone to form a natural exposed rock landscape. Stone placement can also be combined with its practical functions such as soil retaining, slope protection and planting bed or device to decorate the landscape space. Stone placement is generally based on viewing, combined with the functions of some functions, and takes mountain stones as materials for independent or subsidiary landscape layout.

主要表現山石的個體美或局部的組合而不具備完整的山形。置石一般體量較小而分散，園林中容易實現，它對單塊山石的要求較高，通常以配景出現，或作局部的主景，是特殊性的獨立景觀。置石能夠用簡單的形式，體現較深的意境,達到“寸石生情”的藝術效果。

It mainly shows the individual beauty or local combination of mountains and stones, but does not have a complete mountain shape. Stone placement is generally small and scattered, which is easy to realize in the garden. It has high requirements for a single mountain stone. It usually appears as a matching scene or as a local main scene. It is a special independent landscape. Stone placement can use a simple form to reflect a deeper artistic conception and achieve the artistic effect of "inch stone generates emotion".

中國傳統園林崇尚自然，園林構圖一般以山水為主，其它景物圍繞山水來布局。因而山石是不可缺少的造園要素，在園林中起著十分重要的構景作用。置石組景不僅有其獨特的觀賞價值，而且能陶冶情操，給人們無窮的精神享受。

Chinese traditional gardens advocate nature. The composition of gardens is generally dominated by mountains and rivers, and other scenery is arranged around mountains and rivers. Therefore, rocks are an indispensable element of gardening and play a very important role in landscape construction. Stone scenery not only has its unique ornamental value, but also can cultivate sentiment and give people infinite spiritual enjoyment.

特置；在江南稱為立峰，這是山石的特寫處理，常選用單塊、體量大、姿態富於變化的山石，也有將好幾塊山石拚成一個峰的處理方式。

Special; It is called Lifeng in the south of the Yangtze River. This is a close-up treatment of mountains and stones. Single rocks with large volume and changeable posture are often used. There are also treatment methods of combining several rocks into one peak.

散置；又稱為"散點"，這類置石對石材的要求較"特置"為低，以石之組合襯托環境取勝。常用於園門兩側、廊間、粉牆前、山坡上、橋頭、路邊等，或點綴建築、可裝點角隅，散點要作出聚散、斷續、主次、高低、曲折等變化之分。

Scattered; Also known as "scattered point", this kind of stone has lower requirements for stone than "special place", and wins by setting off the environment with the combination of stones. It can be used to decorate the front wall and corner of the road, followed by the height and corner of the road, and can be used to decorate the front wall and corner of the bridge.

群置；大散點則被稱為"群置"，於"散點"之異處是其所在的空間較大，置石材料的體量也較大，而且置石的堆數也較多。在土質較好的地基上作"散點"，隻需開淺槽夯實素土即可。土質差的則可以磚瓦之類夯實為底。大散點的結構類似於掇山。山石幾案的布置宜在林間空地或有樹蔭的地方，以利於遊人休息。同時其安裝也忌像一般家具的對稱布置，除了其實用功能處，更應突出的是它們的造景功能，以它們的質樸、敦實給人們以回歸自然的意境。

Group; Large scattered points are called "group", and the difference between "scattered points" is that they are located in a large space, the volume of stone materials is also large, and the number of piles of stones is also large. Make "scattered points" on the foundation with good soil quality, and only open shallow grooves to tamp the plain soil. If the soil is poor, bricks and tiles can be compacted as the bottom. The structure of large scattered points is similar to Duoshan. The arrangement of several mountain and stone cases should be in the open space between trees or in the place with shade, so as to facilitate tourists to rest. At the same time, their installation should not be like the symmetrical layout of general furniture. In addition to their practical functions, what should be highlighted is their landscaping function, which gives people the artistic conception of returning to nature with their simplicity and compactness.
