Why do Chinese garden decorations have a special affection for antique brick carvings?

Having become accustomed to towering buildings and the monotonous urban housing, our aesthetics seem confined. We can only pursue minimalism and chase European fashion within this space of about 100 square meters, but we can't "touch up" the outside space at all! So, when we travel, we have a special affection for the courtyard inns. Even some friends come back from their travels and tell me, "What should I do? I fell in love with someone else's Chinese-style courtyard, it's too beautiful!"

Antique Chinese style is becoming more popular in courtyard renovations. Common decorative elements include antique tiles, carved tiles, stone carvings, and wood carvings. What style of courtyard do you envision?
