The accelerating process of urbanization has driven landscape architecture toward functionalization and standardization; however, Westernized design has led to a severe loss of cultural identity. Centered on traditional Chinese elements, this paper explores the connotative features of natural imagery, spatial creation, and cultural symbols. It proposes three application principles — cultural translation, functional adaptation, and ecological integration — and clarifies four-dimensional application paths involving landscape space, architectural form, decorative details, and plant configuration. Through case studies such as the new Suzhou Garden Museum and Beijing Olympic Forest Park, the paper analyzes modern practices and value transformation approaches of traditional elements.
