模棱两可：化境八章（三）

与西方古典建筑学要用比例与均衡来将建筑要素联结为一个有限而完整的整体不同，中国古典园林则要将园林建筑与建筑之外的诸要素——山水、林木甚至使用者都联结为一个无始无终的“化境”之环。因此，在中国园林里，重要的不是对建筑本身的本体论讨论，而是致力于研究园林要素间的那些居间调节物，是它们以转折的力量发动了园林要素间的相互转化，继而将分离的要素缔结为无始无终的化境园林。以此为线索，文章将讨论计成为何要将今日被建筑师所鄙视的装修问题看作是联结园林的首要，并诠释他将“装修”行为命名为“装折”中的“转折”用意。此外，文章还将阐述用西方柱式的柱头比例来套现中国建筑大木作部分的斗拱，此外可能也是失效的。

Ambiguity The Third of Eight Chapters on Perfection

Distinguished from the western classical architecture that integrates architectural elements into a limited but complete whole on the basis of scale and proportion,the Chinese classical garden links architectures and other elements such as landscape,woods and even users to form an endless circling of"Perfection".In this regard, rather than focusing on the architectural pieces themselves,emphasis shall be put on analyzing the intermediaries between those elements,which initiate the reciprocal transformation between the elements with the power of transition,and then integrate the separate elements into an endless perfect garden.Taking this as the guideline, the paper discusses why JI Cheng regarded the decoration that is despised by today's architects as of the most importance in linking the garden,and explains his emphasis on the meaning of"transition"out of the act of decoration.In addition,this chapter also elaborates that it may make no sense to apply the proportion of the capital of western column to the wood bracket system of Chinese architecture.
