The history of pavilions:

The history of pavilions is very long, but the earliest pavilions in ancient times were not ornamental buildings. For example, the pavilion in the Zhou Dynasty is a small fortress located in the frontier fortress with a pavilion history. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, the pavilion's buildings had expanded to all parts of the country, and it was used by local grass-roots organizations to maintain public order. "Hanshu" records: "There are two pawns in the pavilion, one is the father of the pavilion, who opens and closes the door and cleans it; A thief, palm by palm to catch thieves ".

in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was the post that replaced the pavilion system. After that, pavilions and posts were gradually abandoned. However, there is a folk custom of building pavilions on the main roads for the rest of the journey, so it has been used. There are also some etiquette places for welcoming guests and seeing them off. Generally, one is set in ten miles or five miles, with ten miles as a long pavilion and five miles as a short pavilion. At the same time, pavilions, as scenic buildings, began to appear in gardens.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was very common to build pavilions in gardens. For example, in the West Garden built by Yang Guang in Luoyang, there were landscape buildings such as the wind pavilion and the moon view. In the Tang Dynasty, there were a large number of pavilions in palaces. For example, in the Daming Palace in the east of Chang 'an City, there was a Taiye Pool, in which there was Penglai Mountain, and there was a Taiye Pavilion. There are many groups of courtyards in Youxingqing Palace City, including Longchi. Among the group buildings in Longchi East, the center building is the Aquilaria Pavilion.

There were more recorded pavilions in the Song Dynasty, and the buildings were extremely exquisite. The shapes and construction techniques of various pavilions were described in detail in the Song Dynasty's "Building French Style". Since then, there have been more and more pavilions with various forms.
