Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 373 Courtyard Mural
That was his very good brother Shen Sanwen.

I don't know how Shen Sanwen is doing recently, looking at this courtyard, he probably can't figure it out.

In the courtyard are more neat square bluestones.

Polished into small pieces of similar size, the bluestone has concave and convex textures and various patterns on it. It really dyes the whole stone into other colors. I wonder if it will gradually fade with the passage of time?Maybe it's always taken care of, and the wear and tear won't even show up.

Then there is the courtyard wall.

The surrounding courtyard walls are simple, but they are simply painted in the same color.

Between the inner and outer courtyards, there is a screen-like partition wall.

On the partition wall is a landscape map.

It is definitely a painting by a famous artist. It is a painting of life. The scene Wang Bin also knows is the West Market in Chang'an City. It was painted by Shen Sanwen not long after the two were newly married.

In order to get the best painting, Shen Sanwen also held a small calligraphy and painting competition, and invited famous celebrities to participate in the judging. The last painter named Zhang won the first prize and became famous for a while.

In the past, Princess Taiping's house was not far from the West Market, which made Wang Bin more convinced that it was written by someone.

In the painting, all kinds of people who sell goods are lifelike, and the goods are clearly displayed in the strokes. Each person has a different expression, which is very similar to the scene of the transaction. Looking at the murals, he is even in the bustling West Market. Someone asked him what he wanted Don’t feel like a new arrival, this mural at least presents 80% of the essence of the scene depicted in that painting. The close-knit shops and lively crowds in the West Market are particularly vivid.

However, most of the murals in the Tang Dynasty are white paintings.

That is pure white, because the clean and tidy walls are not easy to stain and easy to see through.And uneven walls are more difficult to paint.

In addition, in the courtyard, it is exposed to wind, sun, and rain. No matter how good the dyeing material is, no matter how powerful the craftsmanship is, it can't withstand a sudden storm, and most wealthy households will not make it difficult for themselves.

The whole set of murals needs to be taken care of frequently and the cost is not low to toss yourself.

This is really a big failure, Wang Bin is ready to despise Shen Sanwen later.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help taking a step forward, intending to take a good look at it, just in time to see some faults, so that he would be embarrassed.

Wang Bin stepped forward and wiped the wall with his hand.

Then he was dumbfounded.

This?
Prodigal son.

This mural is actually pieced together with stones of different colors.

Brown stone, teal stone, white stone, gray and black stone.

Where is this mural, this is a super project.

Wang Bin felt that his outlook on life had been greatly challenged.

Could it be that Da Zhou's craftsmanship has undergone such earth-shaking changes during the years he lived in Lingyin Temple?
This kind of technique of splicing stones together and then showing the paintings well, in his opinion, is simply an impossible task, the kind that no amount of money can buy.

He just walked to the courtyard, and was already speechless by Shen Sanwen's operation.

Is this still fun to play?

Not to mention how so many stones with high color reproduction are collected together, how do these small stones stick together to have this kind of seamless feeling?

And if you don't touch it, you will never find out that it is composed of small stones, and the texture is different.

Also, how did such a stone be cut into a whole piece with flat and smooth sides?
Shen Sanwen must be asked to explain it later.

Then there is the base of the mural, hanging a very mighty dragon.

This is not something that ordinary people can afford, and it is placed in this courtyard to show the background of the owner.

It's no wonder that many dignitaries came here and were immediately discouraged.

The dragon is a symbol of imperial power, and it is not allowed to be used by anyone who is not a member of the Li family. Even if it is used as a confession, it may not work.

What does it mean?This means that I can use the dragon totem as I like.

This identity is at least a prince of the Li family.

It is estimated that these people have frequently asked questions.

Let's talk about the current attitude of the imperial court. The emperor is raised here, and the emperor doesn't speak, but this house can always be here well.

The tacit attitude of the imperial court is enough to make the officials here terrified.

This guy has a tough backstage.

There is no way to take him.

Therefore, they can only keep a respectful distance.

There is no way to get close, the protagonist can only watch from a distance, lazy and doesn't like directors, they can't do anything if they want to make a relationship.

Then, the food and clothing in the mansion were covered by people who came from other places to exercise.

Those transported are all official errands, and they are people who can see officials in a state who are out of breath and rude.

The arrogance of the transportation team alone is enough to calm down Xiaoxiao's generation.

The dragon is a white dragon with no more dyeing.

It's just that the carving process is very good.

After stroking the murals for a long time, Wang Bin didn't forget to touch the dragon's hands and body.

At an old friend's house, while others were not paying attention, the disrespect towards Long Xiaoxiao contained curiosity, which was understandable.

It's a good thing that the dragon wasn't made of stitching together, otherwise Wang Bin would be very puzzled.

but!

This dragon is not simple either.

The dragon feels water flowing in the middle? !
Is it alive.

Wang Bin was shocked immediately, where did the dragon carved on the mural come from?

He looked at the carved dragon carefully back and forth, left and right, but there was no movement for a while.

Is the dragon wrecked or asleep?

But there is no temperature. Is the dragon itself so cold?

Wang Bin fought bravely, touching it once and touching it twice, if the dragon had a bad temper, he couldn't avoid it no matter what.

He went all out, stroked every scale of the dragon from beginning to end.

It seemed that after observing closely, he finally confirmed one thing.

This is a fake dragon!
He was tricked.

Although I don't know how the dragon's body holds the water, but judging from the traces of the carvings and the order of the water flow, the dragon is definitely not a living thing.

If it was a living thing, how could he stand here intact.

How could the dragon be pressed under the painting as a mural base?

He really thought too much before, and was too naive. There are a lot of middle-aged people, how could there be so many children's thoughts.

Miracles are not for everyone.

Putting aside his interest in dragons, Wang Bin still studied its murals seriously.

He also particularly wanted a mural like this.

There are two reasons.

The first value, the value of this mural can be described as a treasure handed down from generation to generation. If it is well preserved, it will be no problem as a family heirloom after thousands of years.The scene of the street market in the Tang Dynasty depicted in the picture is something that future generations will never see again, and it can arouse people's infinite reverie about the Tang Dynasty today. It is the same as calligraphy and painting, while it is a priceless treasure.

The second style, not to mention the base, the value of each stone will not be low when taken apart, let alone integrated.Wang Bin can imagine that at night, these different light spots will make the murals more vivid, and the water dragon base will also set off the background!
