a hall on the plan, drawn by the kit from its hall class: red-brown lacquer, grey tile (the rule)
the eave band: bracket sets on the large halls, a painted beam on the small
assumed: a hall with no block on the plan, paler
paved courts between the halls (assumed, C)
Xiyang Lou: the stone kit, white marble frame, grey brick, glazed roofs
glazed roofs where a source says so
A
B: a block on the plan S01, until Q2 is settled
C: a guess. The kit's roofs and openings take the grade of their form: C where it is the class's
ground: level, the plain from today's 30 m DEM (C) hills by the grade of their height
assumed hill: no hill drawn, free land where the 1744 album rings the scenes with hills stone bank
paths of 1860: traced on the plan, or drawn on the 1744 leaves
assumed path (C): added only so that a hall can be reached
covered gallery 游廊, a simple roof on posts landing
boat route on the water (dashed)
planting of 1860 where a source names it for the scene: pines, willows, broadleaf trees, blossom, bamboo; lotus and reeds on the water. No plan draws a plant: every place is generated
rockeries and garden rocks where a text or a leaf names them; size typology (C)
plants by the grade of their species the fill: what no source names (assumed)
water land hills
Positions from a Qing plan (S01, image courtesy of the Princeton University Art Museum); heights and roofs are typology, and the halls are drawn by a kit from their hall class unless a source gives their own figures, ground from today's 30 m DEM, the 1744 album and typology: most hills are guesses (C), the pale ones generated where the plan draws none. Colours are chosen for the view. Drag to turn, right-drag to move, scroll to zoom. Click a hall: the view zooms in and a panel shows what we know. Paths: traced on the plan S01 and graded by the 1744 leaves, the texts and the digs; the pale ones are guesses. A route follows them at eye height. Planting: what the 1744 poems, prefaces and leaves, 日下旧闻考, the later imperial poems and the eyewitnesses name for each scene; no plan draws a tree, so every place is generated, and the pale fill (assumed) is typical planting where no source names any.
