    When the garden was divided, the owner of the western part intended to build a pabilion on this rockery near the dividing wall in order to view the beautiful scenery of the central section, but his neighbour disagreed.
    Knowing this, the former was wise enough to give the pavilion such a name as the Pavilion Good of Both Families. He explained, “Although I can see your garden, you and your family members can also see my pavilion which seems to be located in the most inner part of your garden so it is beneficial to both families.” Then the name came from a poem by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty——“Green poplars serve to bring spring to both families.”
    At last the pavilion was constructed here, as the conflict was peacefully settled.
