The nine-square grid architecture embodies the deep understanding of the relationship between heaven and earth by ancient Chinese architects. Through the clever division and contrast of space, they create architectural layouts that are both functional and symbolic. For example, the type of building in the Jiansan system often uses the nine-square grid technique, through the superposition of layers and the transformation of space, so that the building is both beautiful and rich in cultural meaning.
The garden layout in the Slender West Lake Scenic Area also often adopts the nine-square grid design, using landscapes, bridges, and pavilions to create a very aesthetic garden space.
