Character Story & Explanation
榭 (xiè) refers to a traditional Chinese pavilion built on a terrace, often near water, used for relaxation and viewing scenery. Unlike Western gazebos or pergolas, a 榭 is typically more open and integrated with nature, featuring a roof but no walls, and is commonly found in classical Chinese gardens, embodying harmony between architecture and landscape.
