The location of ancient pavilions

The setting of the ancient pavilion should mainly consider the site selection and the shape of the pavilion itself. The form of the pavilion, whether square or round, pyramid-shaped roof or hard hilltop, should be determined according to the form of the base site and the characteristics of the environmental landscape. In China gardens, the setting of pavilions is in harmony with the surrounding environment. In the Ming Dynasty, Ji Cheng wrote in "Garden Governance": "A quiet pavilion in the flowers, a quiet pavilion on the water, and a garden in the middle of the garden are all gains. However, pavilions are only hidden in flowers, pavilions and lakes are surrounded by water, spring and bamboo, surrounded by mountains and waters, or lush; The foot of the winding; Or take advantage of the excitement and think about watching fish; If you are in a blue wave, you are not singing. The pavilion has style and no foundation. " Therefore, whether it is a pavilion built in the garden or a pavilion built on the street, its location choice is determined by the "scenery", which is "the scenery is formed and the scenery follows the shape".

In China, the locations of exhibition halls are varied. Building a pavilion on the mountain, especially on the top of the mountain and the ridge, is conducive to overlooking and broadening the horizon; Pavilions and pavilions are built beside the cliff, and some pavilions and pavilions are even built on the cliff wall, which not only increases the charm of the landscape, but also creates an ethereal and illusory landscape atmosphere; The pavilion built near the water, with the help of the characteristics of water, has become the best place to enjoy the scenery on the water surface. There are five locations to choose from, close to the ground, with one side, two sides or three sides facing the water, or above the water, connected by bridges and dikes, or built on an island surrounded by water, or built on a bridge; Pavilions and pavilions are built on the ground, usually between trees on the roadside or on the edge of houses in streets and lanes; In addition, pavilions are usually built at intersections and road bends to provide rest, mark roads, enhance interest and enrich landscapes.
