With the development and progress of modern technology, more and more advanced technologies are being introduced into gardens. Whether in construction techniques or in creating landscapes, the organic integration of materials and modern technology has greatly enhanced the landscape expression of materials, making modern garden landscapes more vibrant and dynamic.
Take the creation of water features as an example. In ancient gardens, water was mostly used as an independent element in garden design. However, with the enrichment of modern materials and the development of modern technology, water feature art has become even more prominent. The grand waterworks and fountains of the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan), which once left people in awe, now seem like mere "trifles" when compared to modern water features. The introduction of modern technology not only allows people to experience the thunderous roar of giant waterfalls and fountains that can reach hundreds of meters high in urban settings, but also offers a wide variety of techniques. The characteristics and functions of water—form and color, motion and stillness—are fully utilized. There is a great diversity in fountain types, enriching the garden landscape while providing entertainment and encouraging public participation, surpassing the water feature types found in ancient gardens.
