叶圣陶在《苏州园林》一文中,这样写道:我国的建筑,从古代的宫殿到近代的一般住房,绝大部分是对称的,左边怎么样,右边也怎么样。苏州园林可绝不讲究对称,好像故意避免似的。东边有了一个亭子或者一道回廊,西边绝不会来一个同样的亭子或者一道同样的回廊。这是为什么?我想,用图画来比方,对称的建筑是图案画,不是美术画, In his article entitled “Suzhou Garden”, Ye Shengtao wrote: Most of the buildings in our country, from ancient palaces to modern ones, are symmetrical, what is on the left and what is on the right. Suzhou Gardens can never pay attention to symmetry, as if deliberately avoided. To the east is a pavilion or a corridor to the west that will never come to the same pavilion or the same corridor. This is why? I think the use of pictures, for example, symmetrical building is a pattern painting, not art painting,
