Architecture of Chinese Garden
中国园林的建筑构造
The Chinese garden architectures are characterized by taking advantage of the environment so that the natural scenes and human interests could be merged. The classic garden architectures are often embellished with calligraphy of poems and with paintings. They shun symmetry along an axis and adopt an irregular and complicated layout with plenty of large and small spaces. The appearance of a garden building should be aesthetic and expressive, and enhance the beauty of the surroundings. In details, exquisite decorative means should be made use of, such as pretty guardrail, patterned windows, grilles,etc.
