In this way, whether in the shape of the frame or the pattern inside it, the culture of the literati and their way of life is reflected in the windows of Jiangnan gardens. As a result, the motifs of the windows are extremely diverse, and since each one is born through the creativity and technique of a skilled craftsman, there are no two of the same window.
That said, of particular note is the fact that the overall balance of the space is subtly maintained when these windows are brought together, despite the fact that the shape of each one is different. There are many methods through which this is accomplished, such as when the shapes and patterns of windows differ and they are lined up at specific intervals, or when their intervals are irregular but their shapes and patterns look similar, and through these arrangements a subtly negotiated relationship between chaos and order is born.

The original name for this kind of window was oeil-de-boeuf, literally "ox's eye"; it's also called an oculus. While I'm not entirely sure how the name came about, it seems appropriate.
