WHAT DOES SHARAWADGI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sharawadgi

Sharawadgi

Sharawadgi or sharawaggi is a style of landscape gardening or architecture in which rigid lines and symmetry are avoided to give the scene an organic, naturalistic appearance. This concept was influential in English landscape gardening in the 18th century, starting with the reports from China of the Jesuit missionary, Father Attiret, and Sir William Temple's Úpon the gardens of Epicurus. The term sharawaggi which Walpole associates in this passage with irregularity, asymmetry, and freedom from the rigid conventions of classical design, was introduced by Sir William Temple in his 1692 essay Upon the Gardens of Epicurus and by the time of Walpole's letter had become a common term in the lexicon of eighteenth-century aesthetic theory. Derived from the Chinese phrase "sa luo wei qi," literally meaning careless grace employed for an impressive and surprising effect, it typically referred to the principle of planned naturalness of appearance in garden design.
