Chapter 1082 Mortise and tenon structure

Just now, the two of them were debating the advantages and disadvantages of the Eastern and Western buildings, and Speaker Brown didn't notice that they had arrived at the second scenic spot, and only then did they look up and see the pagoda in front of them, and they were slightly shocked in their hearts.

I didn't expect to go down, this pagoda is so tall, it is as tall as a 20-story building, is it true that the ancient Chinese people really have something unique in architecture?

But when I thought about it, I felt that I had thought too much, this Xihu scenic spot was recently rebuilt, with modern building technology, it is not difficult to make a pagoda of this height, Speaker Brown thought of this, and also shook his head, feeling that he was making a fuss.

Everyone is curious to enter the pagoda, but they are all curious in their hearts, this joint pass is not at the door of the tower, could it be at the top of the tower? This Su Huai intends to show their wooden pagoda in this Lantern Festival activity, right?

After entering the pagoda, the reporters were also shooting everywhere with cameras, but they all felt unremarkable.

"There's nothing in it, what's there to see in a stupa?"

"Is this also a landscape? Far worse than the street just now. ”

Since there was no elevator, Tolkien, who was in a wheelchair, could only wait below.

"I'll go up and have a look. Carney's eyes were on Jenna, and he couldn't help but say to Tolkien.

Tolkien had no choice but to nod and sigh: "What ...... young people now?"

After everyone entered the tower, they found that the first layer of the wooden tower was bordered with blue glazed tiles, and the inside and outside of the tower had two octagonal wooden frames.

"Is it all made of wood?" asked a member of the Security Council, surprised.

Guo Wei smiled proudly: "Yes, this is a whole wooden building, without any metal or stone. ”

Just now, Su Huai blew the cow of the wooden building in Huaxia for a long time, and everyone thought that he was just playing tricks, but no one expected to see such a magnificent wooden building in front of him.

Such a magnificent stupa is all made of wood!?

The reporters who followed behind were also talking.

"It seems that this Su Sage did the Lantern Festival activities, not on a whim, but made complete preparations......

"Today is simply the Chinese Culture Exhibition Day. ”

"I think it's just a fake public and private promotion, and it's just a scenic spot. ”

Guo Wei and Leng Zhe and other Sumen disciples were quite proud in their hearts when they heard it, in the past, you used to take advantage of Christmas to promote what kind of God, Christmas tree and those Western things, thinking that you have a lot of cultural heritage.

Let's celebrate this Lantern Festival today, so that you white people can open your eyes and see the comprehensive strength of our Chinese culture.

While climbing the tower, the Security Council committees all touched the walls of the tower, and wondered: "Is this tower really not supported by steel bars?"

"How did you get built so high?"

"It's breathtaking. ”

Carney was a little unconvinced when he saw that these members were all impressed by the wooden buildings in China, and asked Speaker Brown: "Ask Speaker Brown, is it difficult to make such a tower out of pure wood?"

"It's okay. Speaker Brown looked unimpressed, and didn't seem to find anything unusual.

Nishiki Weaving, who followed behind, said with a smile:

"Actually, the largest wooden structure in Asia is not this tower, but Todai-ji Temple in Nara, and I don't think it's a big deal. ”

I thought to myself, you people are really making a fuss, what's so difficult about this? It's not ancient times, the level of craftsmanship has already changed with each passing day, and there are many advanced methods to make this kind of wooden structure.

When Su Huai heard this, he smiled and said:

"Mr. Nishiki Orichi, the Todai Temple is rebuilt, and the traditional Chinese wooden structure is not used, not to mention that even the Todai Temple before the catastrophe is only big, not high, this wooden tower is 67 meters high, it seems that the Todaiji Temple is not even 30 meters high, right?"

As soon as Nishiki was pointed out by Su Huai, he didn't get angry, but smiled:

"Oh, according to Mr. Su, isn't your pagoda not rebuilt, but built by the ancient Chinese people?"

Speaking, Jin Zhiyi also commented on the shelf: "And the ancient Chinese buildings have always been flashy, in the past, the ancient people made the eaves to look good, carved things, but Su Sage, there is no sculpture on the reconstructed wooden tower in your scenic spot, why not make it like the smooth eaves of our ancient buildings, which is conducive to draining the rain and snow......"

The reporters hurriedly aimed their cameras at the two of them, and Jin Zhiyi's words were reasonable, and Su Shengren was smashing his own feet this time.

After all, this pagoda is rebuilt, and no matter how much you brag about the ancient wooden architecture of China, you can't take this pagoda as evidence.

Su Huai was provoked by Jin Weaving, but he was still calm, turned his head to Brown and asked:

"Speaker Brown, do you know what a mortise and tenon structure is?" At this time, everyone had already climbed to the third floor, and they were all a little tired, Guo Wei beckoned everyone to sit down and rest in a tea room on the third floor.

When everyone heard this term, they all felt very unfamiliar, and they all thought that Su Huai was changing the topic, but Speaker Brown showed a surprised look, and Mrs. Carla on the side said in surprise:

"Wow, the word Mr. Su mentioned, I have heard in the ancient Europa materials, the legend is that in ancient times, it was an ingenious structure that could be made out of wood without nails. ”

Obviously, among Europeans and Americans, only Speaker Brown and Mrs. Cara have heard of this "mortise and tenon structure".

Carney listened, his face full of disbelief: "How is it possible? How can wood be made into furniture without nails?"

"How is it impossible?" Guo Wei snorted, "Do you need nails to put together Lego bricks?"

"That's the building blocks. Carney sneered:

"It's okay to put together the blocks, but it's easy to fall, the furniture is strong and durable, even if you make it, you can put it together, how to use the wobbly one? Have you ever seen a furniture made of Lego bricks?"

Guo Wei didn't answer, but looked at him and laughed, Carney saw his strange expression, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you laughing at?

Guo Wei smiled: "Do you think the bench under your ass is stable?"

As soon as he said this, the young people present all showed surprised looks, could it be that the bench they were sitting on was the legendary "mortise and tenon structure"?

Everyone stood up one after another, picked up the bench and looked at it, sure enough, there were no nails, but they couldn't understand how the bench was fixed.

"It's glued on, isn't it?" Carney said disdainfully as he held the stool and observed it for a long time.

Guo Wei stretched out his hand to the staff and said, "Give me a hammer." ”

Everyone saw that Guo Wei had seen a hammer, took a stool and knocked hard under the corner of the stool a few times, and a wooden block similar to a building block fell down, and then Guo Wei picked up the bench, I don't know what method was used, a strong wooden stool, and it was dismantled into 6 or 8 pieces at once.
