The Hangzhou West Lake and the Yangzhou Slender West Lake are two beautiful classical Chinese gardens in Jiangnan (the southern Yangtze River delta area).Though both are named for their physical presence on the western outskirts,the individual lake tells a different story about its formation and landscape.The author discusses the ancient Chinese wisdoms embedded in the two west lakes in the context of "retention" and "pick up".The paper analyzes the ideas,motivations and operations that made the two lakes famed and accomplished from the perspectives of urbanism,land and people,in an attempt to provide an insight into the inheritance of ancient Chinese wisdoms in contemporary practices.%杭州西湖和扬州瘦西湖是2个秀美的江南古典园林,均负郭而西,但它们形成的过程和呈现的形态及景色并非一致,其中包含的古典智慧概括为:“留得”和“拾得”.从“城-景” “地-景” “人-景”3个方面,探讨和分析了2个江南古典园林取得成就的思路、动因及操作方式,以启迪当代实践中对中国古典智慧的价值传承.
