The Path of the Wall Introduction
A philosophical sculpture - Chiayi Park shapes a unique and beautiful style by appropriately displaying elements commonly found in Minnan architecture, constructing the "Path of the Wall". Its design features a platform based on the heavenly stems and earthly branches, symbolizing respect for the movement of celestial bodies. By using the principle of repetitive units and staggered arrangements, it showcases the spatial characteristic of "seeking change in sameness". The entrance hall, "Heavenly Round and Earthly Square", as well as the hexagonal and circular arch tunnels shaped like a Bagua, all align with the profound cosmology and life philosophy developed by the Han people over thousands of years. The surrounding wall adopts a low and short design, making it easy to cross, known as the "Cloud Wall". The "Cloud Wall" can be used for sitting, lying down, walking, or playing, transforming its role from merely a "fence" to that of a writhing dragon, vibrant and unique.
