Symmetrical Mansion Gate Ritual Sequence, Unfolding the First Layer of Ritual Sense Upon Returning Home

Off-white stone facades are paired with exquisitely carved arched colonnades, while a central axis mirror-like water feature runs through the entrance courtyard. Rows of tall trees line both sides neatly, and walkways are enclosed by layered shrubs and flower borders. As ground lamps flicker on at dusk, the silhouette of the building shimmers on the still water. Adopting symmetrical and orderly classical design, it delivers a solemn, elegant first impression upon entry.

The mirror water feature running through the heart of the park serves as the visual focal point. Lush layered green plant and flower belts stretch progressively on both sides, with soft woven rattan lamp globes hanging along the avenue trees. Gazing inward through the grille gate, layered framed views of buildings, trees and water unfold. The transparent water scenery comes into sight at every turn, softening the rigid texture of the architecture and creating a tranquil, soothing central landscape.
