Chapter 218: Ten Books of Architecture, Ancient Roman Feng Shui!
And Yang Cheng is really talented in marketing, whether it is the location of the jewelry city or the later planning, he is very wonderful!
These plans have the feeling that Wang Zhong's eyes are bright!
That's great!
It is worthy of Yang Tycoon!
Although he fell, Yang Tycoon's business sense is still so sensitive!
His success is not accidental, but inevitable!
Jingle bells!
Wang Zhong's mobile phone rang in his hand!
Ruolan's somewhat greasy voice came from inside, Ruolan's voice today was particularly coquettish, as if a warm wind kept stirring every pore on Wang Zhong's body!
"Where are you, my dear?"
"I'm at the Trevi Fountain in Rome!"
Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"What wish did you make?"
Ruolan asked with some curiosity.
"If you say it, it won't work!"
Wang Zhong looked at the wishing pool with a smile on his face, and said with a smile.
The Roman Trevi Fountain, also known as the Fountain of Happiness, was originally known as the Trevi Fountain (Fontanaditrevi), built by the 18th-century architect Nicolosalvi, and is the largest and most well-known fountain in Rome.
With a total height of about 25.9 meters (85 feet) and a height of 19.8 meters (65 feet) wide, the Trevi Fountain is the largest baroque fountain in the world. In the pond is a huge sea god, driving a carriage, surrounded by the gods of Western mythology, each statue has a different demeanor, and the base of the statue of the gods is a seemingly scattered reef.
The main body of the fountain is in front of the god of the sea, and the water gushes out from between the statues and the sea reefs, flowing in all directions. Finally, it all came together in one place. At the same time he was the scene of a famous Roman holiday.
The spray line carving tells the story of the god of the sea, and the background building is a sea god palace, with the sea god standing in the middle, the water god on both sides, and four girls standing above the sea god palace. They represent the four seasons.
The fountain building is completely symmetrical, with a statue of the sea galloped by two horses in the center, designed by the sculptor Pie-I in 1762. On the left and right sides of the sea god, there are two water gods, and on the right side of the water god, there is a relief of a girl indicating the water source, and there are four ladies representing the four seasons on the relief.
The Trevi Fountain is a symbol of strength. In ancient times. Roman men would come to the Trevi Fountain and drop a silver coin and pray for their triumphant return.
Later the Romans had a beautiful legend that if someone turned their back to the fountain, they took a coin in their right hand and threw it backwards from their left shoulder. You can make your wish come true. One coin means that you will return to Rome in this life, two coins represent union with the person you love, and three coins will leave the person you hate. Many tourists line up at the fountain to toss coins and are a testament to their fascination with the city.
The name of the fountain is Trevi, which means three forks in the road, because there are three roads in front of the fountain that extend outward, which is also the origin of the fountain's name.
"Aren't you in the Middle East? Why did you get to Rome?"
Ruolan asked in some surprise.
"I met an Italian winemaker, Adam Beale, and I wanted to hire him as the head winemaker at Grand River Wines, and he said yes! So, I need to come over in person!"
Wang Zhong smiled and explained the ins and outs of the matter to Ruolan, it turned out that Adam Bill also had a younger brother. Sovie Bill!
Sovier Beale is the Sales Director at Château Marty and is responsible for all aspects of wine sales. However, his ideas collided with Adam Beale.
The quality of Adam Beer's red wine can be comparable to the world's five major wineries, and it should create a high value!
This philosophy is in conflict with Adam Beale's idea that everyone can afford to drink good wine!
So a fierce conflict broke out between the two, also because of this incident. Adam's team delayed their trip!
"I see! There's nothing wrong with either of them, it's just two different values!"
Ruolan nodded in understanding after listening.
"yes. Neither of them was wrong, but the grapes were about to ripen. So Adam's team needs to go to Bordeaux Grand River Wine Estate as much as possible, otherwise they will miss out on this year's winemaking!"
Wang Zhong said with a headache.
"That's why I had to come here!"
"It's okay, I'm sure you'll be able to handle it perfectly!"
Ruolan said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"So confident in me?"
Wang Zhong asked in some surprise.
"Of course, because you are Wang Zhong!"
Ruolan said with a smile.
"Husband, is Rome fun? I heard that it is so beautiful!"
Ruolan was a little curious, and said with some envy.
"Beautiful, very beautiful. Rome and Florence were both the centers of the Italian Renaissance, and there is still a considerable wealth of Renaissance and Baroque features today. In 1980, Rome's historic district was declared a World Heritage Site. ”
"If you have time, you really want to come and take a good look, this place is very different from the rest of the beauty!"
Rome is known as the world's largest "open-air history museum". The Colosseum, also known as the Colosseum, one of the eight most famous places in the world, was built in the 1st century AD. Covering an area of about 20,000 square meters and measuring 527 meters in circumference, this oval-shaped building is a symbol of the ancient Roman Empire. The wide Imperial Avenue is lined with senators, shrines, shrines, and some famous temples such as the Pantheon.
To the north of the arena site is the Arch of Triumph of Emperor Severus' expedition to Parthia, to the south is the Arch of Titus, which records the achievements of Emperor Titus in his expedition to Jerusalem, and not far south of Titus, there is the largest triumphal arch in Rome built to commemorate Constantine the Great's victory over Maxentius. Trajan's Square, east of the Imperial Boulevard, was the commercial center of the ancient Roman city. Next to the market stands a 40-metre-high triumphal column with a spiral relief depicting the story of Trajan's expedition to the Danube Valley.
Piazza Venezia in the center of the old city is 130 meters long and 75 meters wide. It is the meeting point of several major streets in the city. On the left side of the square is the Palazzo Venezia, an ancient Renaissance building, and on the right is the Venetian Insurance Company building, which is similar to the Palazzo Venezia. In addition, the majestic Palace of Justice, the splendid Piazza Navona, and St. Peter's Basilica all reflect the Renaissance art style. Rome is also home to hundreds of museums, including Renaissance art.
Rome concentrates most of the monuments of the Italian independence and unification movement. On the central pedestal of the monument to the right of Piazza Venezia stands a large gilded bronze statue of Emmanuel II on horseback. Emanuel was the king who led the people to drive out foreign occupiers and unify Italy. This monument is called the "Altar of the Fatherland" by Italians. On the west bank of the Tiber River, on the Canicolo Ridge. Towers a monument to Garibaldi, the national hero of Italy who led the army to liberate Rome.
The city of Rome has many fountains in a variety of forms. The most famous of the Trevi Fountains, built in 1762. In the center of the fountain, two seahorse sculptures represent the calm sea and the turbulent ocean, and the four statues represent the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The architecture of the city of Rome developed radially according to the topography. ”
Wang Zhong briefly introduced the characteristic landscape of Rome to Ruolan, and described it in general language.
"I saw the Trevi Fountain in the movie 'Roman Holiday'. That fountain was really beautiful, and it was there that Princess Anne and the journalist Erbin fell in love!"
"The view from there is super beautiful!"
Ruolan said excitedly on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, it is because of the movie "Roman Holiday" that the Roman Trevi Fountain is known to the world!"
Wang Zhong nodded and said in agreement.
"Roman Holiday" is a romantic film shot by Paramount in the United States in 1953. The story tells the story of a romance between a princess of a European principality and an American journalist who takes place in Rome, Italy, in one day.
Co-starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn, the film was a huge success and became a classic of Hollywood black and white films. Audrey Hepburn also won the most important award of her life - the Academy Award for Best Actress for this film. After the release of the movie, the title became a name that many businesses competed for, and there were also motorcycles that used Roman Holiday as a brand.
For this beautiful love story, many fans even made a special trip to Rome, and they stood in front of the trevi fountain and silently threw a coin into the pool!
I don't know if I'm making a wish for my love, or if I'm blessing the princess's love!
Wang Zhong slowly walked through the temple with the crowd. Walking slowly through Piazza Venezia, his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the buildings that looked like works of art!
When he habitually took out the compass, Wang Zhong's mouth never closed!
He was so surprised!
Every building in ancient Rome even had feng shui in it!
How is this possible?
Something must have gone wrong!
Wang Zhong adjusts the compass. In the amazement and incomprehension of everyone, return to the Trevi Fountain, the Temple of Chastity, Piazza Venezia and other famous buildings to measure!
Wang Zhong's eyes were wide open, and his mouth opened and closed unconsciously!
All the buildings are in accordance with the laws of Feng Shui!
How is this possible?
Could it be that the city of Rome was designed by the Chinese?
Wang Zhong felt that his brain couldn't turn around!
If it wasn't designed by the Chinese, then why did all the buildings conform to the laws of Feng Shui?
Could it be that this qiē is all a coincidence?
Or rather. Ancient Rome also had a magical feng shui technique?
"An Ning, look at that person. It's really weird, holding the compass. Standing in front of the Roman column, the gods are babbling to themselves!"
The agent Sophia looked at Wang Zhong with a dull face, her eyes were full of confusion, and she tilted her head and whispered.
"yes, it can't be crazy, right?"
An Ning glanced at Wang Zhong's direction with some worry and fear, and said with some worry.
"Anla, we are here with the crew, so many people are not afraid of him!"
Sophia's eyes also flashed with a hint of fear, but as if she had thought of something, she said with a smile.
An Ning looked at the photographers and staff with large bags and small bags around her, long guns and short guns, and her heart suddenly settled down!
Wang Zhong didn't hear the conversation between An Ning and Sophia!
He didn't even know that he had become a madman in the eyes of everyone, a snake spirit disease!
He didn't even know that the scene of him meditating in front of the Roman column was inadvertently filmed by a Taiwanese crew!
There is only one question on his mind now!
Why, the architecture of Rome implies the laws of Feng Shui!
For this question, Wang Zhong went directly to the National Library of Rome!
Here, Wang Zhong also found the answer he needed!
"Ten Books of Architecture"!
Feng Shui is the unique contribution of Chinese civilization to the evaluation and planning of livable environment, and is the crystallization of the ancient wisdom of the East in dealing with the relationship between heaven, earth and man.
The tradition of living in peace had a similar idea and behavior in Rome, which can be verified by the Ten Books of Architecture, the oldest architectural treasure book in the West!
The Ten Books of Architecture was written by the ancient Roman architect and engineer Wittruvius in 32-22 BC, this book puts forward the basic connotation and basic theory of architecture, establishes the basic system of architecture, advocates that all buildings should consider 'practical, solid, and beautiful', and proposes that the key to the 'balance' of buildings lies in its part. In addition, in terms of the education methods of architects, it is particularly emphasized that architects should not only pay attention to talent, but also pay attention to morality. These arguments are still instructive to this day. Divided into ten volumes, it is the oldest and most influential architectural treatise in existence. The book's discussion of the basic principles of urban planning, architectural design, and architectural composition summarizes the experience of ancient Greek architecture and the experience of Roman architecture at that time.
Wang Zhongtong guò read and found that many of these ideas have a striking resemblance to the traditional oriental feng shui!
He thought he had found the reason why the city of Rome was in line with the laws of Feng Shui!
This is because ancient Rome also had a law of divination and residence that is very similar to Chinese feng shui!
It is precisely because of this that Wang Zhong has the illusion that the Romans were built by the Chinese!
Wang Zhong couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, was he also infected by Smecta!
In Wang Zhong's view, the "Ten Books of Architecture" on the choice of architecture and orientation, and the soil quality, water quality and other hygienic and healthy discussions, and the ancient Chinese ancestors "view its flowing spring", "spend its sunset", "both the scenery is Gang, its yin and yang" "The Book of Poetry Gong Liu" later generations called Mr. Feng Shui Mr. Yin and Yang, which is from here allusions, and the behavior of Bu Zhai Kanyu consciousness is the same!
The first book of the Ten Books of Architecture is even devoted to "the health of animal carcasses and land", and "urban planning and layout methods to avoid harmful air currents"!
Book 6 is devoted to "Climate", "Orientation of Rooms", "Methods of Building Pastoral Dwellings", Book 8 is "Methods of Exploring Water Pulses", "Properties of Various Waters", etc., Chapter 9 discusses the influence of "Sky and Planets", "Moon", and "Zodiac Signs" on architecture!
