In the late 1950s, the forest was gradually converted into Xuanwu Park, which was later destroyed by an earthquake. In 1983, it was replanned and redesigned, and the following year it was converted into Xuanwu Art Park, covering an area of 73,700 square meters.

Philosophy related to the heritage

From the perspective of Eastern philosophy, Beijing Xuanwu Art Garden is a harmonious space that integrates nature and humanity. In Taoist philosophy, the emphasis is on "Tao follows nature". Every scene in the art garden, whether it is artificially carved rockery or naturally grown flowers and plants, reflects the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. The Confucian "doctrine of the mean" is also reflected in the art garden. The layout of the garden is neither luxurious nor simple, and it just shows the beauty of moderation. At the same time, as a place where art and culture meet, the art garden also reflects the Confucian idea of attaching importance to cultural education and pursuing spiritual improvement. From the perspective of Western philosophy, Xuanwu Art Garden can be seen as the intersection of aesthetics and ethics. Aesthetically, the layout and design of the art garden reflect the pursuit of beauty. Whether it is the symmetrical garden design or the carefully arranged landscape, it reflects the pursuit of order and harmony in Western classical aesthetics. In ethics, the art garden provides a public space that encourages people to go out of their homes and interact with nature and others, which is consistent with the concept of public life and community participation emphasized in Western philosophy. At the same time, as a place for leisure and education, the Art Garden also reflects the emphasis on personal all-round development and lifelong learning in Western philosophy. Whether from the perspective of Eastern or Western philosophy, Xuanwu Art Garden is not just a tourist attraction, but also a comprehensive embodiment of human pursuit of nature, art, culture and ethics.
