Abstract
From the the theory of the production of the space which is created by Heri Lefevbvre, there is a reconciliation between mental space which is the space of the philosopher and the real space which is the physical and social spheres. Basic on the understanding above the modern public space is not a fixed place but an open and extended system which is continuously constructed by the national sprit, local culture and economic during the dynamic evolution. What is also means, the public spaces are concentrated reflect to the local experiences. The evolution of China’s modern public spaces has a unique process which is closely related to the transformation of the national spirit since modern times. Specifically, the urban park of China did not come out from the functional requirement of modern city but a national landscape in a local context. And the following process of the park also affected by the specific idea of nations. As a physical space which is the representation of local culture and public sphere, the historical perspective on the public park of China can give a general picture of the evolution process of modern China’s public spaces since the 20th century.
