我们今天所说的亭子,一般指有顶盖且周围开敞的建筑,往往建造在自然景观或人工园林之中,是观赏风景的佳处。宋代官方刊载建筑制度的《营造法式》中便规定了亭子的规格、材料等细节。明代计成撰写的《园冶》更说明亭“造式无定,自三角、五角、梅花、六角、横圭八角、玉十字,随意合宜则制”。 The pavilions we are referring to today generally refer to buildings that have a roof and are surrounded by open air. They are often built in natural or artificial gardens. They are the best places for viewing scenery. The “Course of Construction” in the official publishing system of the Song Dynasty specifies the pavilions’ specifications and materials. The “Yuan Ye” written by Ji Cheng in the Ming Dynasty explained the pavilion “infinite style, from the triangle, pentagon, plum blossom, hexagonal, octagonal octagonal, and jade cross, and is free to adapt”.
