The level and quantity of private gardens in Jiangnan in Ming Dynasty are the highest. Due to the emergence of capitalism in the middle and late period, urban industry and commerce developed rapidly, especially Huizhou merchants, with their strong material foundation, created a new situation of social communication in Jiangnan [1]. Through the collection and reference of ancient books and documents of Yangzhou merchant gardens and the analysis of Fang Xiangying's Reconstructing Xiuyuan, the paper finds that the environmental design of Xiu garden can be summarized as follows: (1) highlighting the literati temperament and attaching importance to the reference. (2) superior environment and sufficient borrowing resources. (3) large-scale and sophisticated design. (4) numerous buildings and close integration with the environment.To sum up, the environmental space structure of Zheng Yuanxia's Xiu garden has the following characteristics: (1) The scale of the rest garden is not too large. (2) The landscape in the garden is basically built to imitate heaven, and the characteristics of the overall landscape are very similar to those of literati gardens, all of which learn from nature and have obvious traces of literati gardens.(3) The design of some scenic spots needs the support of wealth, such as the huge amount of gardening materials used in the park. (4) The pavilions, stone Bridges, and a large number of plant configurations created are not very common in most literati gardens, especially in the use of stone. It can be seen that the garden of rest is a merchant garden with the characteristics of a literati garden created by Yuanxia Zheng with huge funds.

Context The biodiversity faces an underlying threat from landscape fragmentation resulting from rapid urbanization. Examining the future trajectory of landscape fragmentation is imperative to understanding the impact of current spatial planning constraints on natural and semi-natural habitat preservation, ecosystem services, and sustainability. Methods We employed a Patch-generating Land Use Simulation (PLUS) model to simulate and predict the land use and landscape pattern changes in Lushan City under two distinct scenarios: “Planning Constraints (PC)” and “Natural Development (ND)”. We then identified an appropriate landscape fragmentation index (LFI) that effectively captured the fragmentation essence. To determine the optimal scale, we adopted an experimental approach using both the moving window (MW) method and the semi-variance function. By constructing a LFI spatiotemporal sequence and conducting trend analysis, we identified the potential fragmentation areas (PFA) with significant fragmentation tendencies. Results The spatial planning constraints will (1) prevent the encroachment of construction land into 2.14 km2 of cropland, 0.21 km2 of forest, and 0.13 km2 of grassland; (2) shift the highly fragmented area from the northeastern portion of Lushan to the planned area defined by the development boundary; (3) mitigate and decelerate the trend of landscape fragmentation in natural and semi-natural landscapes, decrease PFA by 7.74 km2 and preserve 15.61 km2 of natural landscapes. (4) still leave 29.42% of forest and 22.82% of grassland at risk of fragmentation. Conclusions Spatial planning constraints will effectively control the potential fragmentation in natural and semi-natural landscapes by changing the spatial distribution of LFI and PFA. This control mechanism will greatly exclude the anthropogenic impact and ensure the conservation of habitats. The habitats remaining within PFA should be focused in future eco-management optimization.
