  A scene south of the lower Yangtze River The serenity and seclusion of Xitang is also reflected in the depth of the house, a Chinese aesthetic ideal in the construction of a residence, as evident in the verse line, "How actually deep is the deep compound?" Many rich families built residences with several courtyards in a row. Three courtyards in a row is commonplace; while a large residential compound has five or seven courtyards. Zhongfu Hall, mentioned earlier, has seven courtyards: the first is the entrance hall with high gates, carved beams and painted ridgepoles; the second is for sedan-chairs; the third is the main hall, called Zhongfu Hall; the fourth, for flowers; the fifth, the living quarters; the sixth and seventh, respectively, for the granary and hired staff. With a garden rearmost, this compound extends more than 100 meters long. Such an architectural style explored the essence of "depth" to the extreme.

  The names of Chinese dishes are diverse, but behind each of the famous dishes is an interesting story explaining why it is popular. A catchy name may add value to the dish. However, some names are so eccentric that they may confuse people, both Chinese and foreigners. If you explain the names in a literal way, you may make a fool of yourself.

  A glimpse of Zhuozheng Garden: white walls and black tiles amidst a stretch of green The Canglang Pavilion Garden in Suzhou is famous for its pavilion. Atop a hill, the Canglang Pavilion seems to have the ability to command winds and clouds. Inside the pavilion, visitors capture a bird's-eye-view of the beautiful scenery all around and below. A couplet inscribed on the pillars of the pavilion reads, "Invaluable are the gentle breeze and the bright moon; lovable are the distant mountains and the nearby rivers." Sitting in the pavilion and enjoying "the distant mountains and the nearby rivers" can soothe the souls of visitors—the ideal of Chinese landscapists.

However, some names are so eccentric that they may confuse people, both Chinese and foreigners.If you explain the names in a literal way, you may make a fool of yourself. Take Goubuli steamed buns in the city of Tianjin for example.These popular buns are all handmade and of the same size.When served in neat rows in the tray, they look like budding chrysanthe-mum flowers. The wrapping is thin, the fillings are juicy, and the taste is tender and delicious yet at all not greasy. Then why the name? There is an interesting story behind it. Goubuli steamed buns were first sold in Tianjin about 150 years ago. A local young man by the name of Gouzi (Dog) worked as an apprentice in a shop selling baozi (steamed buns). Three years later, he set up his own baozi shop. Because his buns were so delicious, he soon had a thriving busi ness, with more and more people coming for the buns. As hardworking as Dog was, he still could not meet the demands of his customers, who had to wait a long time. Impatiently, some people would call out to urge him on, but as he was busy preparing the buns, he had no time to answer. People therefore called his buns Goubuli, meaning "Dog pays no attention." This eccentric name, however, had very good promotional effects, and has been used ever since. Now Goubuli is a time-cherished brand name in Tianjin. In Zhejiang cuisine, there is a well-accepted dish called Dongpo Meat. This dish is prepared over a slow fire, with streaky pork in big chunks and garnishes of green onion, ginger at the bottom of the pot, cooking wine, soy sauce, and sugar. The finished dish is bright red in color and tender and juicy in taste, yet without any feel

Sitting in the pavilion and enjoying "the distant mountains and the nearby rivers" can soothe the souls of visitors—the ideal of Chinese landscapists. To enhance a sense of space, Chinese garden designers have adopted a variety of methods to arrange, organize and create space, such as "borrowing scenery, " "dividing scenery, " "separating scenery, and even "borrowing scenery with a mirror." "Borrowing scenery" is one of the basic principles that Chinese Landscapists generally adopt. For example, the pagoda atop Jade Spring Mountain appears to be part of the landscape of the Summer Palace; from the Guanyun Building in Suzhou's Liuyuan Garden, one can enjoy the scenery of Tiger Hill Park in the distance; the Liangyi Pavilion built on an artificial hill in Zhuozheng Garden commands a beautiful landscape outside the garden's wall. All these are good ex-amples of "borrowing scenery, "and all of them successfully break through the barrier of walls to integrate inward the landscapes outside. Actually, the names of many buildings in Chinese gardens reflect this principle of "borrowing scenery, " such as "Smoke and Rain Hall, ""Hall for Listening to the Rain, " "Moon and Wind Pavilion, " "Lotus and Wind Pavilion, " and "Flying Fountain Pavilion, "to name only a few.These names suggest that these sites fanction to bring natural
