Suzhou Calendar | Coupling Garden "Moon" Flower Window

Everything about Suzhou is wonderful

The "Moon" flower window is located in the Crane Shou Pavilion in the West Garden of the Coupling Garden, with an oval shape, one in the north and south of the flower window, and the two fans have the same shape but slightly different details. A pavilion with two windows, in pairs, which alludes to the theme of couples' coupling. At the same time, the flower window here echoes with the pseudo-sun pattern flower window of the East Garden, yin and yang contrast, and the sun and moon echo.
