Since ancient times, pine plants have held religious, folkloric, symbolic, and moral connotations and have been integrated into various scenes. Pine plants are among the most frequently depicted fl ora in landscape paintings from the Song Dynasty. Consequently, this study uses the complete collection of Song landscape paintings as research material and, based on environmental creation theory, divides the investigation of pine plants into three realms: the physical environment, the situational context, and the artistic conception. The physical environment focuses on the surface description of the pine plants in the painting, and the situation is divided into three modules according to the characters’ activities around the pine plants, the type of scene, and the site’s dynamic and static atmosphere. With the assistance of architecture, roads and landscapes, using the theoretical method of iconography, combined with the two forms of representation and schema, it is expected to explore the linear and point-surface space application schema of pine plants in diff erent “realm” spaces, explore the unique situational space and artistic conception scenes of pine plants, and guide the combined confi guration of pine plants in modern parks, so as to achieve the purpose of “painting into the garden”.
