Volume 1 "Room, Room, Bridge"

Notes on the title or background of a book.

Small bridges and flowing water are the most common scenery in gardens. Bridges are located on the water surface or in the air, which are not only used for traffic, but also for decorating the scenery and increasing the layering of the water surface. Broken bridge and broken snow are one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake.

Bridges are made of stone, bamboo and wood. Wen Zhenheng mentioned two kinds of bridges in the use of materials: stone bridge and wooden bridge. Bridges are built with aragonite on the big water surface and stones on the small water surface, but there is no mention of where it is suitable to build wooden bridges. He also suggested that bridges with different materials should have different decorations, wide stone bridges need exquisite carving, small stone bridges need embroidered grass, and wooden bridges need more attention. Building stone bridge and wooden bridge from layout to railing

With various principles of proper use and taboo, Wen Zhenheng still maintains a consistent pursuit: goodness. In fact, according to the water potential and topography, the structure of the bridge is different and the effect is different. Only from the form of bridges in the garden, there are several kinds of bridges: flat bridge, arch bridge, pavilion bridge and covered bridge.
