Abstract：The pavilion with Xieshan-style roof is famous for being elegant, exquisite, poetic and being integrated with the surrounding environment with flexibility and diversification, which is an original architecture style to study on. The paper started from the introduction on Wu Culture and the traditional building techniques of Xiangshan Gang at that time, and deconstructed the pavilions with Xieshan-style roof in Gardens of Suzhou from Ming and Qing Dynasties by shape plan, the frame system and details of the components. The characteristics of carpentry work on the pavilions with Xieshan-style roof were clarified. The study enriched the research on classification and characteristics of the pavilions with Xieshan-style roof and laid the foundation for further mining work on the origin and evolution of wood building techniques of Xiangshan Gang.
