The Illusory Space By Orientation&Position

Man cognizes space through two ways,namely,the body position system referring to the body and the direction system referring to the outside world,which are called "Orientation & Position".finally tends to be stable.Its metaphorical symbols are the overlapping interaction of circles and squares,supplemented by the image of Nuwa Fuxi,which is written into the beginning of Oriental civilization.Orientation & Position concept originated in the Neolithic Age.Inspired by living experience,early architecture not only regulated the law of wind and fire in the form of axes as a shrinking world,but also participated in collective organization and dialogue with terrain as an enlarged body.When the circular orbit of the sun,moon and stars is combined with the concept of body position,the order of orientationWith the successive efforts of Wizards,Kings and Confucianists,the ideal illusion of "position from Orientation" was gradually realized to the world,from which the Central Plains rounding with the Wold came into being.The palindromic cobweb‐like order of kingship has become the basic framework of inclusive civilization.However,the order of monarchy is not stable.In troubled times,metaphysicians rebuilt the aesthetics of "Orientation from Position" and put the body between heaven and earth.However,more Confucian scholars often hesitate between advance and retreat.They can only relieve their hearts of distress by means of space metaphor of "Orientation & Position".The resulting works of art such as Wuliang Temple stone,the Goddess of Luo &Painting of the Goddess of Luo,Han Xizai Banquet Picture,etc.Traditional space art is concentrated in gardens.The Ming and Qing literati gardens represented by Canglangting exquisitely convey the literati’s thoughtful way to Arrange their fate through complex space construction.Canglang Pavilion is a space riddle,and "Orientation & Position" is an effective tool to solve it.Under the mutual reflection of the orientations,gardens can achieve a profound metaphor for the progress and retreat of life,and literati can dispel their hidden delusions by visiting gardens,but not indulging in them.
