Following a three-courtyard academy layout, the project turns daily life into quiet meditation. First courtyard: nine ancient pines symbolize six virtues. Second courtyard: seven figurative stones and four aged stone slabs create a contemplative void. Third courtyard: three mountain ridges, a natural water stream, five stone bridges, and twelve hackberry trees form a condensed landscape painting. Ancient pines, stones, and trees shape a tranquil forest retreat where people live within nature, returning to peace. Life becomes a walking meditation.
