New Members leti336 Posted January 6, 2016 at 10:24 AM New Members Report Posted January 6, 2016 at 10:24 AM Hello, sorry to bother you again! I'm trying to get the meaning behind this 4 characters: "曲院回廊". The text is about the Lingering Garden in Suzhou and this specific part is describing the eastern part, who has its main focus on buildings. I got the meaning of 回廊 but 曲院 is giving me some problems. I don't think it refers to 曲院风荷... but I honestly can't grasp its meaning . I'll attach the original text, in order to give you some context. "东部以建筑为主，重檐迭楼，曲院回廊，疏密相宜，奇峰秀石，引人入胜" Thank you again for your attention! Quote

In Chinese ,these words were used for descriping the eastern part of the Lingering Garden.So "重檐迭楼"means there are so many buildings and they are beautiful;"曲院回廊"means there are so many halls which are bended and long, also, they are beautiful;"奇峰秀石"means there are so many stones which look like little hills and they are beautiful too! In a word ,there is no need for you to understand every word of the sentence.And the only thing you should remenber is the Lingering Garden is beautiful~ Quote
