describe

In a dream of Red Mansions, the lotus Pavilion is described as: "it turns out that the lotus Pavilion is built in the pool, with windows on all sides, curved corridors on the left and right. It is also connected to the bank by crossing the water, and a zigzag bamboo bridge behind it." When they entered the pavilion for a moment, they saw two bamboo tables outside the railing, one with a cup and wine set on it, and the other with tea pots and various tea sets on it As she spoke, she saw a pair of mussels inlaid in black lacquer hanging on the pillar, and ordered people to read them. Xiangyun read: "the lotus shadow breaks the oar of orchid, and the fragrance of lotus root deeply writes the bamboo bridge." (see Chapter 38 "Lin Xiaoxiang Kui's poems about chrysanthemums, Xue hengwu's satire and crab's chant") it can be seen that the Ouxiang Pavilion is a complex of buildings, not a single waterside pavilion. The complex is composed of waterside pavilion, small pavilion, winding corridor and zigzag bamboo bridge. Lotus flowers are in full bloom on all sides, and there are two osmanthus trees on the bank not far away. In addition, Xichun's residence "nuanxiangwu" is not far from ouxiangxie. People in Daguan garden always "wear ouxiangxie and pass through nuanxiangwu" when they go to Xichun. Xichun in Haitang poetry society takes "Ou Xie" as its nickname.
