This seemingly simple "square box" was "created" by China's traditional culture and modern science and technology. China people believe that Fiona Fang cannot be achieved without rules. If we act according to the established rules, we can achieve overall harmony and unity. In the traditional culture of China, the design concept of "the sky is round and the place is round" gave birth to the "water cube". Square is the most basic form of ancient urban architecture in China, which embodies the social life rules represented by common ethics in China culture.
