Book friend 20180829070128381 thank you for your encouragement! But I didn't go to Wuhan University, so I can't write it. I haven't even been there. I guess you made a typo or not? I want to see martial arts, right? According to real events, I am going to be forced to fight again, ah, no, first, my son started the fight.

I hope you enjoy the self-defense counterattack written by a little accountant.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Qingqing said that she could visit relatives and friends (her grandmother said that she couldn't go out on the first day of the new year).

Because she didn't go to New York, her grandparents, brother-in-law, grandfather-in-law, seventh aunt, and eighth aunt all vied to invite her to the house as a guest.

In the morning, we didn't train (I announced a day off, and the beggars had a break for the first day of junior high school). At three o'clock in the sun, I got up slowly and washed.

Originally, yesterday, I originally planned not to practice martial arts (the Chinese New Year's Eve must be my family, the third generation head of the old Liu family - me, the prescribed rest time!), but Qingqing's wife wanted to see my and my son's martial arts, the leader spoke, and my son and I happily carried out a traditional martial arts report performance.

According to Qingqing's plan, in the morning, we went to the grandparents' house in Luwan District to pay New Year's greetings, and in the afternoon we went to my uncle's house in Jing'an District for dinner. The next morning, I went to my grandfather's house to congratulate the New Year, and in the afternoon, I went to her aunt's house for dinner. And so on, until the seventh day of the new year, I can basically bring the two main elders to go.

In the last two days, I had to run 8 houses a day, but fortunately they were not far away, otherwise, I really couldn't cope with it.

I don't know readers, friends, do you have this experience?

On the festivals stipulated by the state, we can't really be idle.

Starting from the New Year's Day of the Gregorian (Gregorian calendar) New Year, after the Lunar (Lunar Calendar) New Year, the grandest festival of our nation, the Spring Festival (playing lions, dancing dragon lanterns, twisting Yangge, Stepping on stilts, running dry boats, fireworks and firecrackers, lanterns and sticking Spring Festival couplets), then the Qingming Festival (ancestor worship and stepping on the green) to commemorate the deceased elders, followed by (it is said, to be verified) to commemorate the Dragon Boat Festival of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan (eating zongzi, dragon boat racing), to the International Labor Day (well, this festival is reasonable, it doesn't matter if you are tired: it's too idle, but it's not right), and finally after wishing people a long time, the Mid-Autumn Festival (eating moon cakes, putting lanterns), came to the most solemn festival in our country- National Day (every 5 years, there is a powerful and shocking military parade to deter Xiaoxiao: those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away!).

However, in the genes of our Confucian culture, human feelings and sophistication are put in the first place (so there is a saying that the world is full of knowledge, and human feelings are also articles).

So, we visit relatives and friends, or are courteous to others, and we are tired, tired and moved.

Let's just talk about texting.

Buddies don't like to be like some people, group posting. At this time, you have to rack your brains to figure it out. According to the order of relatives, benefactors, friends, leaders, and colleagues, according to the recipient of blessings, different degrees of intimacy and the order of respect and inferiority of the elders and young, and many factors such as people's personality characteristics, cultural level, and social status, we must carefully edit a few catchy, appropriate, and innovative blessings. For the sake of these great literary works that are not shocking and endless, I really did it (proudly patted my chest and said), the spring silkworms died to the end, and the wax torch turned into ashes and tears began to dry!

One day, Jian Nanchun drank too much, and in a drunken dream, I suddenly realized that my fellow countryman, Comrade Li Bai, his popular poem "Three thousand feet of white hair, fate is like a long one." I don't know where to get the autumn frost in the mirror?"

Write a blessing text message!

also took his own pen name, "Taibai".

"Hey, fellow, if you really can't write it, you can just shout it!"

Anyway, now, everyone's WeChat has a video call function.

"I guess. If you don't admit it, I'll punish myself with three glasses. ”

"How dare you disclose the background of literary creation? Just like the secret of other people's magic, the whole industry is tight-lipped! You are still an accountant, don't you know how to keep business secrets? You turtle son, don't think that you are Tang Sanzang's apprentice, I won't dare to punish you! His dear brother Tang Wang, the uncle dares to pour him Jian Nanchun! Don't say anything, you kid do half a catty first (old-timers, your measurement at that time, one catty is equal to 16 taels!), you are angry old man, and the son can't be taught!

Also, you'll be fined tonight!"

"No. ”

Yes, the seniors are angry, and the juniors will do it!

When the wine wakes up, let's get back to reality.

Originally, I was worried that Qingqing's relatives would have ideas when they saw their son, or call her parents who were far away in New York, so they were opposed by some worldly people who often happened around me.

"Qingqing's wife, otherwise, my son and I won't go, right?"

My name was not deliberately changed, and it was not opposed (and the opposition was invalid!

"Well, if you don't go, it's not appropriate, your relatives know about you. Son, "Qingqing is a little embarrassed, and I'm still a little afraid of extraneous branches."

"Dad, sister" Yongrui wanted to go to the heat for a few days, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead, I haven't finished my winter vacation homework yet." ”

"Hey, my son is so good" I was very moved, and reciprocated, "If you want any New Year's gift, feel free to mention it, but don't be too expensive." ”

"Yes, why don't you buy you a computer?" Qingqing touched his son's head and said lovingly.

"Besides, alas, there is no New Year's money to be made by relatives this year. His eyes were a little red, and he walked to the table in the living room, and poured out strings of books, homework books, pencils, and erasers from the thick, large schoolbag (sometimes he walked in front of him with his bag on his back, and I felt like a little squirrel dragging a computer host).

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I just sent him 100 yuan, Qingqing was more generous than me, and handed him a red envelope of 1,000 yuan.

"So, what do you want?" I was also a little uncomfortable, after all, this was my son's first Spring Festival in the East China Sea, and besides, in my hometown, we would take him with us every year wherever we went to pay New Year's greetings.

"Forget it, bring some delicious food back". My son waved his little hand at us, his voice a little hoarse.

"No problem, Qingqing wife, let's go, let's go and go back quickly!"

I hurriedly dragged Qingqing out of the door, afraid that my son would regret it.

"Xiao Rui, Dad's cooking, in the refrigerator, you heat it up. Qingqing opened my hand, facing her son, and said again, "The rice is in the rice cooker, I just made it, and you don't have to wash the bowl, my sister came back to wash it, do you hear?"

"Well, I hear you, sister. Let's go!"

The son had a pen in his hand, his head down, looked at the homework book, and said loudly.

This kid, like me, likes to pick up relatives the most, and doesn't like to see them off.

"Okay, then, let's go" Qingqing still wanted to say something, my heart was crossed, holding something in one hand and holding her in the other, and stepped out of the house in one step.

"Why are you dragging me?" In the car, Qingqing sat in the passenger seat and asked dissatisfiedly.

"It's nothing, I'm afraid that Xiao Rui will take the way. ”

I stared ahead, stepped on the accelerator, and said lightly.

This Mercedes-Benz, which I drove for the first time, has a continuously variable gear, unlike a manual Santana, and I often have to step on the clutch and change gears.

"Oh, it's only less than 10 years old, right? Qingqing wanted to remember her son's birthday, she asked.

"Well, half of May turned 10. I replied.

Then, there is silence.

It's the New Year, there are few vehicles on the street, some people go back to their hometowns, and some people go to other places to travel, right?

So, the car quickly arrived at Luwan District, where the grandparents lived.

Coming out of the parking lot, Qingqing and I carried large bags and walked on the road to rejuvenation. On both sides of the street, there are tall, stout French plane trees, some of which have turned yellow, and the winter sun gently and lazily passes through the gaps in the leaves, feeling a blend of red, yellow and green, which is a bit dazzling. The colored light fell slowly with the falling leaves, and the place was colorful.

Qingqing took me around the corner, and there was no cave.

The first thing I saw was the legendary Shikumen.

At the top of the gate of the street building is a three-dimensional gray-white round arched stone door.

Inside the arc arch are eleven very short square cement wedges, inlaid on them.

This is followed by two symmetrical cement sculptures.

The outer end of the carving is a tooth-like plant curly grass pattern, and in the middle are two dragon heads of the East China Sea with high spirits.

The lower part of the dragon's claw is a rectangular stone plaque that is indented and embedded, and there are three big characters of "Donghai Village" in Lishu. Plain and dignified.

To the end of the stone door near the end of the solid lintel part, both ends are very three-dimensional protrusions. On the lintel under the stone plaque, peonies and bamboo are carved. Then there are the two South China Tigers, the king of beasts, on the left and right, which are lifelike.

The lintel in the hollow part of the door is hollowed out in the middle, with four striped stone pillars.

At the bottom of the door is a solid bluestone pier, which is firmly guarded by the stone door.

Seeing that I was a little researched, Qingqing patiently became my tour guide.

"Junjun, listen to grandpa, Shikumen is a microcosm of the society of Greater Shanghai. For a long time, the citizens of Shanghai lived here, revolutionaries worked in secret, and literati, scholars, and artists gave birth to their works. In the old days, there were factories, banks, hotels, warehouses, newspapers, and schools in Shikumen. ”

"Oh, I don't know Mr. Lu Xun, have you ever lived in Shikumen?" I took my son to visit the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China. But for the rest, I don't know.

"Ah, this Allah can't figure it out. Qingqing blushed.

"It's okay, I'm just asking. "I regret it a little bit, embarrassing my wife.

"No, Alagunnon asks Aya", Qingqing said softly, and it will be clear if he asks his grandfather.

After entering the gate of the alley, there are two storey brick and wood buildings divided into two sides. Above the two long building baselines that separated, there are three round-arched stone doors in the style of a large lane, except that there are no carvings and no inscriptions on the plaques.

Above the alley, there is a sky with thick clouds, and the faint sunlight shines down, which is divided by the three stone doors inside, and it feels like the sun and the sky are also divided into a small piece by the residents.

On either side of the brick wall, at intervals, there is an old-fashioned gas lamp with a disc cover, and occasionally a rectangular cylindrical red lantern (not the oval red lantern of the north).

"When the lights are on, the lane must be very elegant and beautiful. "I said to myself.

"Yes, it's pretty, at night. I always feel the tranquility of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and I feel that I am wandering in the streets of Europe. Qingqing's face was intoxicated.

In the last room of the alley, Qingqing said.

When I looked up, I saw that it was also a two-story building with stone as the door frame and black lacquered solid wood as the door leaf. However, all the buildings in the whole alley, including my grandfather's house, looked like they had been renovated, the bricks and cement were new, there was very little dust, and the paint on the wooden doors had not yet dried.

"Shanshan, you're here, I'll come down and open the door. ”

On the second floor, by the "dormer window" in the attic of the British building, a gray-haired, energetic man greeted him with a smile, and the old man looked like he was over 170 tall.

"Grandpa, okay. Hurry up!" Qingqing beckoned, half gentle, half commanding.

"Hahaha, good, good, good" Grandpa didn't seem to notice my family's rudeness, and shouted loudly downstairs, "Old woman, do you hear me? Hurry up and go down and open the door for Shanshan." I'll come down right away. ”

The door opened, a very temperamental woman with a warm smile on her face, the years made her hair gray, and the wrinkles on her forehead were a little deep, but what could not be concealed was the vague beauty and charm, and the contours on her face were very similar to my father-in-law-to-be, Uncle Zhang.

Hey, no, it's the opposite, it's Uncle Zhang who is like our grandmother.

I always follow the good flow, and I must correct my mistakes, like Zeng Wenzhenggong, three times a day, even if I say the wrong thing in my heart, I must correct it in my heart.

Hahaha, the combination of praise and self-praise, in this way, I have the great spiritual strength to face life calmly!

"Hey, Junjun" Qingqing's wife touched me with her elbow, "Call grandma, in a daze." ”

"Well, I hear you, good, good, good, lad spirit. "Grandma's face is sunny. Hey, grandma, I haven't called you yet, so it's a boast in advance?

"Hello grandpa!

Seeing my grandfather who walked to the back, I hurriedly called out loudly, and when I bent down and bowed, the things in my left hand touched Qingqing, and the contents of 7 or 8 large plastic bags were sucked to the ground by the gravitational pull of Newton, a relative of England.

"Ah, I'm sorry, grandparents. "My face must be red, this performance, it's really not a drop.

"Junjun, you, you're a hairy uncle. Qingqing reacted quickly, rushed to complain about me with a smile, and skillfully transformed external contradictions into internal contradictions.

Sure enough, my grandparents took pity on me.

"Shanshan, how do you speak? I look at the young man, what is it called? Oh, Liu Dajun, it's good, you little girl, don't be harsh?" Grandpa spoke.

"Yes, things have been dropped, and they are not dirty when they are picked up. "Grandma also helped. "Hey, I said Shanshan, but you are disobedient, the phone said, you don't need to bring anything. There are so many more, you look at what army they are, they are all sweating."

"Grandpa, grandma, who are you helping?" Qingqing was coquettish and pouted.

"Ah, grandparents, it was me who was careless, Qingqing criticized right. I said as I picked things up.

"Hahaha, dear, old woman, young man, how dare you scream!" said Grandpa, laughing, and then reached out to take what I had in hand.

"It's like you, you don't even dare to say a baby, Shanshan," Grandma also took Qingqing's gift, chuckled and said, "Don't be like your mother, who bullied my son for a lifetime."

"Hehehe, grandma, no, dad likes mom, so be obedient. Qingqing blushed, hugged her, and smiled.

"Hahaha, come in, what are you doing with the door? "Grandpa Yumai (should be humorous. That's how the apprentice Xiaoguan pronounced it and praised me non-standardly.

We walked in with a smile.

The most typical feature of the house inside the grandparents is the combination of East and West. It has the form of a traditional two-story courtyard house in Jiangnan.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a small patio, the living room behind the patio, and then it is a day well, the back patio is the stove and the back door, the patio and the living room are the left and right wings on both sides, the stove room on the first floor is the "pavilion room", and then up is the sundeck.

After the things were put in the living room, my grandmother went to boil water to make tea, and my grandfather and Qingqing accompanied me to visit.

On the second floor, I saw a European fireplace, a large bathroom, an attic roof, a chimney and vents.

The whole residence has a chic and neat appearance, exquisite and comfortable decoration, spacious outdoor alleys, a green courtyard in front of the building, and a beautiful living environment, which is not at all like the old-fashioned shikumen that I occasionally passed by during an interview.

There is a large glass balcony at the front, which makes the ventilation and lighting conditions of the house better.

After the visit, I sat down in the living room, and my grandparents asked me some information very enthusiastically, saying that the third child of their family had already reported in detail when he returned to China last time, so he didn't ask much.

"As long as you like it, my old man will be happy," said Grandpa heartily. My grandmother also looked at me with satisfaction, and kept telling me not to be polite, to eat fruits, sugar, and melon seeds.

"You're here, you're home." Grandma was still holding my hand and laughing.

"Grandpa, Junjun asked me, Mr. Lu Xun, has Shikumen lived?" Qingqing remembered, so he hugged his grandfather's arm and shook it, "Tell me quickly." ”

"Hahaha, Nong also doesn't know the time. Grandpa stood up and paced around the living room, "I'm sure he did." ”

Then, Grandpa proudly introduced it for a long time, about 1 hour.

I am his grandson-in-law, and I listened to him very patiently, and I also felt fresh, so I occasionally asked a few questions, and Qingqing's wife sat for a while, and then went out, about to help grandma prepare lunch in the kitchen, right? I was very attentive, and I didn't hear her say anything.

However, readers, time is precious, so I will summarize it.

"If the old houses in Shanghai: garden houses, new-style alleys, and old apartments represent the inner spirit, temperament, and heritage of the city in a sense, then the best embodiment of the combination of Chinese and Western, Shanghai-style culture, inclusiveness, inclusiveness, and Shanghai's taste is one of the architectural forms of the old houses, which is called Shikumen ......."

Grandpa continued.

"The decorative patterns of Shikumen architecture have symbolic meaning and are closely related to cultural philosophy. In traditional Chinese culture, dragons and phoenixes, lions and tigers, as well as common birds, fish, turtles and other animals that represent the Chinese spirit, all have certain meanings. In addition, in the plant patterns, the plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum symbolizing noble conduct, the pine peach symbolizing longevity, and the peony symbolizing wealth and wishfulness all contain China's auspicious culture, from which people's love for life and hope for stability and tranquility are expressed, and people's wishes for the living environment, procreation and a better life are expressed.

Shikumen architecture industry turned its attention to the decorative patterns of Western architecture, such as the ancient Greek and Roman periods, in addition to the abstract columns and stylized architectural vocabulary, the additional sculptures and decorations are all to show human nature; the Middle Ages conveyed the supreme power of religion, which can be seen in the carved form that ascended upward; after the Renaissance, it expressed the splendor of secular life, and luxurious decorative patterns were favored. Western patterns are mainly based on flowers and plants in nature, heroes or magnificent scenes in biblical stories and myths and legends, which are more intuitive and specific in expression, and also imply different cultural meanings between China and the West.

The transformation of the decorative patterns of Shikumen architecture integrates the totems of Eastern and Western cultures, reflecting the tolerance and openness of modern Shanghai citizens to understand aesthetic values.

Let's talk about the form, which is also the spirit that runs through the combination of Chinese and Western.

Influenced by traditional Chinese culture, the old-fashioned shikumen dwellings are usually constructed with sash and folding windows.

The decoration of the skirt plate was originally based on traditional Chinese patterns, and later under the influence of Western culture, Western carved ornaments gradually appeared, and the splicing method of upper, middle and lower oceans is the embodiment of the combination of Chinese and Western.

The folding windows are mostly used in the wing rooms, which are installed on the wooden sill board, and the lower section is a railing on the outside, and the floral decorative elements are presented on the folding windows and railings, which is the borrowing technique of semiotics.

Wooden shutters are a kind of architectural decoration from the West, which prevailed in Europe in the late 19th century, and when it was transmitted to China, it was the prosperous period of Shikumen, so the shutters from the West were quickly integrated into the decoration of Shikumen and widely used in new Shikumen buildings. Its function is to light and ventilate, and to a certain extent, to solve the living conditions of dark and narrow attics, but it has inadvertently become a unique architectural decoration style of Shanghai Shikumen architecture.

Let me tell you about the theme concept of Shikumen.

Shikumen Residences were born out of traditional Chinese courtyard houses, with a strong space for traditional Jiangnan houses. In the late 19th century, traditional wooden structures with brick walls began to appear in Shanghai. Because the outer door of this type of dwelling is made of stone as the door frame, it is called "Shikumen".

In general, the townhouse layout is derived from Europe, and the details of the exterior walls have carved patterns of Western architecture, and the triangular or arc door head decoration on the door is also mostly Western-style patterns.

When it comes to Shanghai's Shikumen, many outsiders go to see Xintiandi and want to see the historical customs of Shanghai. Some people say that it is well preserved, but it has demolished all the old houses and redone them, is it the historical Shanghai? The renovation of Shanghai's alleys is a good thing, but I oppose the demolition and reconstruction, and the transformation of the old city. Protection is about prolonging its life, not about rejuvenating it. ”

Grandpa added that he could hear that he was still very worried about the protection of Shikumen. He also said that the third child of the Zhang family (my quasi-father-in-law, Mr. Zhang Weiyi) returned to China last time and took a sum of money to renovate the entire "Donghai Estate", and he said that he wanted to make his grandparents and neighbors live comfortably, elegantly, and beautifully.

Finally, I sighed bravely.

"Grandpa, I don't know if that's right, can you criticize and correct it.

Donghai, such a utopian city, its history emerges in the winding architectural skyline on the banks of the Huangpu River, and its vision penetrates into the decorative patterns of Shikumen buildings. ”

"Hahaha, the kid is good, very thoughtful! Actually, this is Allah, the memory and nostalgia of the old Donghai!"

"It's time to eat. Junjun, Aya. ”

Qingqing walked in with a large stainless steel plate. On the steel plate, there are many small lattices, and there are many small porcelain bowls on them, which are full of exquisite dishes, including Yangzhou lion heads.

Grandma followed behind, holding a large enamel soup pot with fragrant black-bone chicken stewed American ginseng.

"It's the New Year, I'll have a drink with you? Grandpa said kindly to me, squeezing his eyes. When I said yes, he also smug a look at the slightly angry grandmother opposite.

"Hahaha"! The room suddenly sounded the laughter of grandpa Yang after he succeeded.

A few pigeons, awakened from Grandpa's attic, flew out of the window like arrows and rushed into the sun-drenched sky.
