What does the pavilion mean?

The meaning of the pavilion is as follows:

Pavilion is a traditional building in China, which is mostly built in gardens, Buddhist temples and temples. Buildings built on the roadside or in the garden for people to rest, shelter from the rain and enjoy the cool are very small, and most of them only have roofs and no walls. Pavilion is also a kind of garden sketch, which is used to decorate the garden landscape.

Pavilion (gazebo) is a traditional building in China, which originated in the Zhou Dynasty. Most of them are built on the roadside for pedestrians to rest, enjoy the cool or enjoy the scenery. The pavilion is generally an open structure without walls, and the top can be divided into hexagonal, octagonal and circular shapes. Because of its light shape, informal selection of materials and flexible layout, it is widely used in gardens.

Summary:

Pavilion was a place for pedestrians to rest in ancient times. "Pavilion, stop also. People stop gathering. " The pavilion in the garden should be the "reappearance" of the natural landscape or the roadside pavilion in villages and towns. In villages and towns, there are many pavilions beside the roads for pedestrians to rest, such as Banshan Pavilion, Road Pavilion and Banjiang Pavilion. Because gardens imitate nature as an art, many gardens have pavilions.

But it is precisely because gardens are art that pavilions in gardens pay great attention to artistic forms. Pavilion is often a "bright spot" in the landscape, which plays the role of finishing touch.

Formally speaking, it is also very beautiful and diverse. According to Yuanye, the pavilion is "amorphous, with triangle, quadrangle, pentagon, plum blossom, hexagon, horizontal laurel, octagon to cross, and can be made at will, but the picture can be omitted." These various forms of pavilions are based on the principle of adapting to local conditions. As long as the plane is determined, its form is basically determined.

Suzhou Canglang Pavilion is named after its pavilion. In fact, this pavilion is very simple. It is a square pavilion resting on the top of the mountain with a single eaves, and it can also be said to be a standard pavilion in Jiangnan gardens.

The art of this pavilion does not rely on gorgeous or grotesque attraction, but relies on simplicity and Wen Xiu, and deliberately pursues the highest realm of architectural forms in the south of the Yangtze River, winning by proportion, scale, charm and color, which is the foundation of architectural art.

At the same time, its name lies in the connotation of architectural culture. Su Shunqin, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, bought this garden and named it "Canglang" after its completion. This is a sentence in the "Song of the Ruzi": "The surging water is crystal clear, so I can stand on it; The water in the rough waves is turbid, which is enough for me.
