National Tide 1980.

Chapter 616
Just look at the alleys.

When Ning Weimin stood in front of the gate of No. [-] Courtyard and saw the actual gate of No. [-] Courtyard with his own eyes.

The excitement and excitement in his heart were actually even worse.

Not for anything else, except because the feeling of imagination and witnessing is different.

More importantly, because of the "Altar Palace" project, he has been in contact with the experts of the ancient construction team for a long time, and he has already mastered some ancient construction knowledge.

Compared with when he first visited the Majia Garden, there is no doubt that he can understand more things at this time.

So at a glance today, he could clearly feel the royal demeanor displayed in front of the gate of this courtyard on the spot.

You must know that in the strictly hierarchical dynasty system, there are huge differences between people because of their different social status.

This is also reflected in the housing to a large extent.

High-ranking officials live in big houses and good houses.

Ordinary officials lived in ordinary houses.

Commoner people naturally have to live in houses with poor quality and small space.

As early as the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, decrees on the regulation of mansion construction were promulgated.

It is stipulated that the quadrangles built by the government and the people shall not have ninety-five rooms, that is, nine bays wide and five bays deep.

Because the number ninety-five is exclusive to the emperor, officials and people are not allowed to share it with the emperor.

Siheyuan also cannot be built with Xieshan corners, double eaves and heavy arches, painted caissons, vermilion doors and windows, because these are for the exclusive use of royal palaces, that is, temples and temples, and officials and people are not allowed to imitate them.

Whoever lives in whatever house is an insurmountable rule of the feudal dynasty.

Even the relatives of the royal family cannot build houses casually, and must strictly follow the regulations specified by the royal family.

In the Qing Dynasty, the relevant building regulations were actually far more detailed than those in the Ming Dynasty.

Because every emperor in the Qing Dynasty came to power, he had to personally formulate the architectural standards for the residences of officials at all levels and the residences of the emperor's relatives.

For example, how many main rooms, how many wing rooms, how high the foundation is, how big the gate is, what color of paint to paint, and the texture of the bricks and tiles, there are strict rules.

Even this difference is not limited to the scale and layout of the houses, and many supporting facilities are also different.

Such as fences, gates, gate piers, screen walls, corridors, verandahs, courtyards, horse-mounting stones, dismounting stones, etc.

The Majia Garden was purely a special case created during the Republic of China.

Otherwise, just occupying an area of ​​[-] square meters is enough to kill the head.

But even so, the gate of the Majia Garden is honestly and practically the "barbarian gate".

And because the vermilion, which represents the special meaning of Zhumen embroidered households, is too ostentatious.

The Majia Garden did not dare to use vermilion lacquer, but used plain oil and black lacquer, which is the color of a simple and unpretentious merchant.

Before liberation, people still cared about this.

If there is no corresponding family background, just make up the cover randomly and use vermilion, that is, a pig's nose with green onions.

Even more vulgar and superficial than the nouveau riche, it is pure sensationalism.

So back then, not only established families like the Ma family were like this, but also other officials and merchants continued to follow the corresponding rules.

Vermilion has never been widespread in the alleys of the capital, and it is still the case until now.

And this is why Ning Weimin fell in love with this courtyard at the first glance.

Courtyard No. [-], Dongsi Sitiao, although it is a side courtyard, is just a "Ruyimen" style that indicates a wealthy family.

Regardless of the erosion of the years, the standard of the courtyard gate has been severely damaged, and the paint color of the courtyard gate has peeled off and become mottled.

But the color of the door panel is indeed vermilion!

And the gatehouse is also very particular!
There are ridges in the middle, eaves inside and outside, and extremely exquisite brick carvings, which are absolutely different from the folk system.

The most important thing is that the seven-storey large stone steps, and the old locust tree and the old elm tree on both sides of the separate gate are particularly magnificent.

The height raised by the steps distinguishes this courtyard from other courtyard gates without steps in the whole alley.

You know, steps are more indicative of rank than vermilion.

Because only the royal relatives and noble families with titles have this kind of privilege to rise to the top.

This No. [-] courtyard is the same as No. [-] and No. [-] courtyards, and the steps are two feet high.

This is a remarkable sign of the Qing imperial family residence.

Although the height of such a step is lower than that of Wang Jue, it is treated the same as Baylor and Beizi.

It is impossible for the mansions below Fu Guogong to catch up with such a card.

Then think about it, what kind of blessing it is to have such a house!

After 30 years, many people have tried their best, cried and shouted, and wanted to marry into a wealthy family at all costs.

At most, a person with ambition dares to say "I am a wealthy family".

But there are many wealthy families, but it is really hard to find such wealthy embroidered households!

Thinking that such a house will soon fall into his hands, Ning Weimin can't be happy.

If he really had a long tail, he would definitely be able to curl it up beautifully at this time!

It's just that knowing and not knowing are really two things.

Seeing Ning Weimin standing at the door and not leaving, his expression also let out sighs from time to time because he looked up and down the door of the courtyard.

On the contrary, both the mother and daughter and Director Lu misunderstood.

Thought he was disgusted.

The old lady hurriedly said, "Don't think this house is old, the materials are all solid things. The tiles are made of tube tiles, which are not easy to leak. The floor in the house is full of tiles, and there is absolutely no broken bricks and bricks in the house." Sandwich walls."

The eldest daughter also said, "If you don't believe me, you can take a piece of wall and look at it. Even the courtyard wall is made of gray bricks. Or you can ask the resident. We never recruit soil turtles in our courtyard. If it is a broken brick wall, How can you not see the soil turtle if you mix it with soil?"

Director Lu thought more about it, and asked, "Do you think the high steps are inconvenient to get in and out? Or do you think the gate is narrow? Many people think so. Actually it doesn't matter, what kind of one do you like? Remove the heavy cover. Anyway, you are not short of this little money. You have already hired someone to repair the two courtyards you have taken back. Isn’t this easy for you? Big deal, we will send someone to fix it for you. The cost of labor is fine..."

Listen, isn't it a mistake to treat Feng Jing as Ma Liang?

The whole monkey is full of twists and twists!
拆院门？
I love it too late!

Where can I find such a unique and royal Ruyi Gate!

Ning Weimin couldn't help but burst out laughing, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it's easy to talk, it's easy to talk, then let's go inside."

As a result, as soon as he stepped up the steps, he was stunned again.

Because according to the common courtyard system, the courtyard gates are usually built at the east corner of the entire courtyard.

Then, based on the gable wall of the east wing room, a one-character shadow wall inside the door is often made, commonly known as a mountain shadow wall, which is the most common situation.

The screen wall is an important decorative wall inside and outside the courtyard gate.

Although the practical function cannot be compared with the gate, it is indispensable for large families.

It can not only beautify the entrance of the gate, but also block the sight of outsiders, so that outsiders cannot have a clear view of the scenery in the courtyard, which protects the privacy of the owner’s residence to a large extent.

Obviously, the screen wall directly chiseled on the gable of the wing room will naturally use the gable wall and the wall cap as the decoration.

The biggest advantage is that it is very economical.

However, the screen wall in Courtyard No. [-] is not like this.

What Ning Weimin saw was that an independent screen wall was built independently with bricks in front of the gable wall, and there was a red door partition wall on the right side.

Not to mention how magnificent the screen wall is, the red door partition wall on the right is too particular.

That style echoes the formal entrance on the left, which looks dignified and symmetrical, as if there is also a passage on the right.

At the same time, the function also meets the actual needs, and can be used to store and clean various tools at the gate.

That's really wonderful, just for the thought of this humanized design, people have to give a thumbs up.

It's a pity that his admiration and attention caused the surprised expressions of the people in front of him.

The mother and daughter and Director Lu walked forward for a while, but Ning Weimin did not follow.

They didn't know why, so when they turned their heads, they all looked at him with eyes that looked different.

Come on, to avoid the pain of explanation, let's go with the light.

Ning Weimin quickly smiled, stomped his feet like a fake, and caught up.

It was as if he stopped because he stepped on something dirty just now.

In this way, those few were relieved and continued to lead the way forward.

PS: The last few articles are written about Fumen House, because there are real scenes, and some pictures corresponding to the content of the article will be posted after the chapter.Readers at the beginning can watch it later.

Continuation: I just saw the comments on the picture, and many people think that the part of Ruyimen is narrow.This is probably the mentality of the old lady mother and daughter.The Ruyi Gate is not the main entrance of a serious and wealthy family, but it is so narrow, which is very in line with the characteristics of the imperial uncle's mansion.But precisely such a narrow gate has an exquisite gatehouse and high steps representing privileges.Can't you explain the mystery of this door?In fact, it is precisely because of this contrast.This is what makes this sect unique and extraordinary.This is the imperial aura that Ning Weimin can feel.This probably also proves why some good things can't be sold at a good price if they don't meet the connoisseurs.Because the public likes to hear and see, it can only determine the market demand, and it can only explain that it is easy to understand, but it cannot be used as a criterion for judging the level and grade of things.
