Description In the Ge Yuan(个园) garden of Yangzhou. The name of the garden is a game about Chinese characters: the Chinese word for bamboo(竹, zhu) consists of two "个(ge)" characters to represent the image of two bamboos, while the owner of the garden divides "竹" into two parts, keeping only one "个" for the name of the garden.

Complex language characters with different meanings when combined, my head hurts, not sure if I can ever really learn this fully. Keeping it as a mild field of learning.

(P.S. Blast you Tolkien, now everytime I see a round door, I think of hobbits!)
