【蘇州園林】

蘇州園林始於春秋，清末已有各色園林170餘處，因此蘇州也被譽爲"園林之城"。蘇州園林是中國古典園林最傑出的代表，大部分爲私家所有。現保存完好的園林有60多處，對外開放的有十餘處。蘇州園林宅園合一，可賞，可遊，可居，其建築規制反映了中國古代江南民間的生活方式和禮儀習俗。蘇州園林不僅是歷史文化的產物，同時也是中國傳統思想文化的載體。

平行文本【四合院】

四合院(courtyard)是一種歷史類型住宅。它在中國很常見，最著名的則是在北京。在古代，一座四合院住着一個單一的大家庭。今天，許多現存的四合院還用作住房，但大都缺乏現代生活設施。四合院最早可以追溯到西周時期（the Western Zhou Period）,至今已有2000多年的歷史。它們表現出中國建築的優秀和基本特徵。四合院還是北京的一個文化象徵，也是探索古老生活方式的一個窗口。
