福建省周宁县的鲤鱼溪古村落是一个绵延了一千多年的历史文化名村，它为世人构筑了一幅人鱼同乐、和谐共生的桃源美景，处处体现着中华传统文化所倡导的“天人合一”。中国人鱼文化小镇会客厅与鲤鱼溪古村落仅一山之隔，作为景区开门迎客的集散枢纽，同时也是古村落与新县城有机联系的重要节点。设计这样一组建在历史文化小镇中的公共建筑，塑造地方特色、表达文化特质、体现时代精神势必成为一道建筑师不可回避的命题作文。在建筑师看来，如果要解答这道命题就必须视建筑为一种横向的文化场，把精神文化、物质文化、地域文化与时代文化进行有机整合，才能使我们的传统具有较强的适应性，从而创造性地转化为新的文化成果。

Liyuxi ancient village in Zhouning County of Fujian Province is a famous historical and cultural village which has lasted for more than 1000 years. A beautiful Taoyuan with Mermaid and harmonious coexistence embodies the “harmony between man and nature” advocated by Chinese traditional culture. In the reception hall of Chinese Mermaid cultural town is just a mountain away from liyuxi ancient village. As a distribution hub of the scenic area, it also serves as a tourist attraction.It is an important link between the ancient village and the new county . Design such a public building in a historical and cultural town Building, shaping local characteristics, expressing cultural characteristics and embodying the spirit of the times are bound to become an unavoidable proposition for architects. In the view of architects, if we want to answer this proposition, we must regard architecture as a horizontal cultural field, which integrates spiritual culture, cultural culture, and architectural culture.The organic integration of material culture, regional culture and era culture can make our tradition have strong adaptability, so as to realize the sustainable development creatively transformed into new cultural achievements.

建筑师借鉴贝聿铭先生设计位于美国落基山脉中的国家大气研究中心时的几何策略，选择代表“和谐”的完形几何来建立一种均衡的整体空间结构，作为塑造人工与自然反差的有效手段。至于“一方一圆”则是考虑到场地具有近似盆地的地形特征，建筑的第五立面就显得特别重要，建筑师希望当游人登顶四周的山峰俯瞰建筑之时，能感受到前人在命名地方时候对“和”的美好期盼——周而复始，四方康宁，是为周宁。这种由方圆同构所建立的“崇和尚中”几何之美与场地四周的山水之美具有鲜明的“和而不同”。

Based on the geometric strategy of I.M. Pei in designing the National Center for Atmospheric Research in the Rocky Mountains, the architect chose the generation to establish a balanced overall spatial structure  by means of Gestalt geometry of “harmony”, as a contrast between man and nature,it’s an effective way. As for “one square and one circle”, it is the fifth elevation of the building, considering that the site has the terrain characteristics similar to the basin.The architect hopes that when visitors climb the mountains around and overlook the building, they can feel the beautiful expectation of “harmony” when they named the place.This model is established by the isomorphism of square and circle. The geometric beauty of “Chong monk Zhong” and the beauty of the landscape around the site have distinct “harmony but difference”.
