我曾读到一段介绍“拙政园”的入口的英文:“The entrance of the Zhuozheng Garden in Suzhou leads to a circular gate through a meandering narrow lane between houses. A rockery stands in front of the gate as a screen to prevent one from getting a full view of the garden.”
在没有来到拙政园之前,这段文字只是苍白的介绍,我们只能在脑海里大概勾勒拙政园入口小巷深长、假山拥立的模样。只有我们亲自来到拙政园,亲眼所见,才能真正获得“字图合一”的印象。
