摘要

紐約大都會博物館仿建中國蘇州古典園林得到許多論美，本文試圖探討：中國傳統建築的外在格局與形成是一定內在哲學精神的反映，僅且備外在形式的模仿有時反而會遺漏了中國建築的真正本質。中國以儒家與道家對人事、自然的看法爲基楚，術發出兩大建築系統，儒家影響下建築在架橫人一人之間的秩序，強調族群的合適與踩延；道家影響下的建築則努力把人從人間秩序中解放出來，放回到自然之中，這一類亭園建築因此充滿個人面對自然的驚訝與喜悅。

並列摘要

The imitation of Astor Court at Su-Chou built at the Metropolitan museum of New York, has rewarded with plentiful applause The following criticism is to explicate the layout and formal appearance of traditional Chinese architecture are the reflections of certain inherent philosophical content, sheer formal representation will, sometimes miss the essense of Chinese architecture Following the different concepts toward reality and nature of the Confucianism and Taoism, two major systems of Chinese architecture were evoked The one influenced by the Confucianism usually concentrates on the construction of the order between individuals, emphasized the harmony and the continuity of clan, the other under the influence of Taoism, tries to releave individual from realistic order and return to nature therefore, garden architecture of this kind are usually full of the joy and suprise occured when individuals were brought to the front of nature
