对称，是均衡与和谐的体现，堪称中国人钟爱的美学理念。从宫殿到园林，中国建筑广泛应用中轴对称，呈现秩序美感。

Symmetry represents balance and harmony. It is a deeply cherished aesthetic principle in Chinese culture. From palaces to gardens, Chinese architecture widely applies central-axis symmetry to express visual order.

故宫采用“中轴对称”是为了体现皇权至上的政治理念、符合儒家礼制思想、展现阴阳平衡的哲学观,以及增强建筑群的整体统一性和庄严感。

The Forbidden City uses central-axis design to symbolize the supremacy of imperial power. It aligns with Confucian rituals, reflects the philosophy of yin and yang, and reinforces the unity and solemnity of the entire structure.

在日常生活中，也能看到对称的事物。花鸟纹样与盘扣设计中显示的平衡之美，不仅赋予人们内心的安宁与和谐，更在无声中传递着一种深邃的美学理念。在诗词中，更可以见到无数精妙的对仗，如“天对地、日对月、楼对阁、晚照对晴空”，每一处对仗都显得如此优雅工整，充分展现了中国人对和谐与美的执着追求。

Symmetry is also present in everyday life. The balance found in floral and bird motifs or in the arrangement of traditional Chinese buttons offers a sense of inner peace and quiet harmony. It silently conveys a profound aesthetic philosophy. Symmetry is prominent in poetry too. Consider the paired phrases: "heaven and earth, sun and moon, tower and pavilion, evening glow and clear sky." Each couplet is graceful and precise, revealing the Chinese people's enduring devotion to harmony and beauty.
