晚明祁彪佳罷官鄉居期間，選擇以園林作為回歸今日故鄉的切入線索，他一方面動卜築之興，闢建寓山園林，作為自己與家鄉重新對話的據點；一方面則大量參訪城內與近郊園林，結合個人、家族乃至地域傳統的記憶，與今日耳聞目見的經驗，重新拼接故鄉的增圖。因而在《寓山注》之外，同時有《越中園亭記》書寫與結集。 《越中園亭記》凡分六卷，全書結構可大別為考古與證今兩個部分，卷一標示「考古」，記存群體記憶與個人記憶中的歷史園亭，凡一百零一處，卷二以下則為當時間林，凡已遊園一百七十六、未遊園十五。前後的閱讀順序，拉開了由古入今的時間向度，然而它們又同時並置於文本中，形成了古今並置的同時之感，甚至於預告了「後之視今亦猶今之視昔」的未來讀者的視角。 卷二至卷六分記當時實存園林，依城內、城南、城東、城西、城北次第題錄，他打散了自己出遊諸圓的時間秩序，以空間方位重新整理園林關係，透露了不以個人遊記為書寫目的。類似的空間體例，楊衒之追述記憶中的城市，祁氏記存眼前的家鄉，形成了一種有意味的對照。 第二、三、五卷中有所謂未遊園之附錄，只記園主或位置，等待歷遊之後填補，「未遊」園的空缺說明了其他園林之為「已遊」，突出地強調了本書的歷遊精神。《越中園亭記》正是選擇了家鄉園林為實驗場域，在滄海桑田的遷化長流裏，以文字進行時間斷片中影像的捕捉。

During late Ming Ch'i, Piaochia's ( 祁彪佳 ) removing from office, he choose gardens as the route to return his hometown. On the one hand, he built Yushan garden ( 寓山園林 ) and restarted a dialogue with his own hometown. On the other hand, he visited varied gardens in the town and suburbs. Combining personal, family, and regional traditional memories with new sensible visiting experiences, Ch'i remapped his hometown gradually. Beside Yushan Chu (《寓山注》 ) , Ch'i wrote Yuehchung Yuant'ingchi (《越中園亭記》 ) at the same time. Yuehchung Yuant'ingchi includes six chapters. It divides into garden's archaeology and present situation survey. Chapter one marks 'archaeology' to keep collective and personal historical garden's memo-ries. The sum of the memorial gardens is 101. Chapter two below records present gardens, including 176 visited gardens and 15 unvisited gardens. The chapter arrangement shows the historical order, but those gardens all exist in a text at the same time. It causes a feeling of the past and the present exists simultaneously. Moreover, it forecasts future reader's vision, future to present is just like present to past. From chapter two to six records present existent gardens. The describing order is from inside the town to the south, the east, the west, and the north of the town. Ch'i mixed up his visiting garden's time and rearranged garden's relationship by spatial direction. His writing shows the purpose not for recording personal travels, but following Loyang Ch'iehlanchi's (《洛陽伽藍記》 ) writing style. It is interesting to contrast Yang, Hsuanchi ( 楊衒之 ) tracing memory city with Chi's remap-ping hometown. There are unvisited gardens appendixes in chapter two, three, and five. The owners or the sites of the gardens are marked, and there remained space waiting for future traveling. The emptiness of unvisited gardens appears that other gardens have already visited. The traveling spirit is therefore emphasized here. To sum up, the writing of Yuehchung Yuant'ingchi chose the hometown gardens as experimental field to catch the image lost in historical and memorial fragments.
