Professor Alan Macfarlane, chair of the Cambridge Xu Zhimo Poetry and Art Festival, said on Friday that the garden is not only designed on Daoist and Buddhist principles, but also to represent a fusion of East and West, just as Xu Zhimo was trying to bring the cultural treasures from China to England, and from England to China. 

Macfarlane added that he hopes through both poetry and the garden, cultural links between China and Britain can be further enhanced.
