When he first heard the news of the Japanese, Li Huayong didn't pay much attention to it at first. Because he had an order from the Japanese, he took it for granted that no matter what the purpose of the Japanese was, their first step would definitely be to send someone to interview him.

"What the hell are these little Japans doing, how will they run to the provincial capital?" Li Huayong muttered softly, put this down in advance, and decided to wait and see what happened first, and before figuring out the true intentions of the Japanese, everything went according to the original plan.

"Chen Sheng, this time to trouble you more bother, now the first important thing, is to do the foreign trade export procedures down, I think this matter should not be difficult, after all, the situation in the mainland you also know, "export to earn foreign exchange" is everyone's common demand, Chen Sheng, you say yes? Only this matter is implemented, then other things are easy to do, such as to go through the various procedures for mining and so on, as long as the first step is good, then there should be a lot less problems encountered later. ”

"Yes. Chen Ting seemed to be familiar with the situation on the mainland, and he smiled and nodded to Li Huayong.

Then the two discussed for a while and talked about everyone's division of labor. Chen Ting was responsible for all the things he was doing with the government, and Li Huayong was going to process the marble products of the first order first.

At the end of the conversation, Chen Ting asked, "What about the two eldest ladies?" Ayong, what are you going to let the two eldest ladies? ”

Li Huayong said with a smile: "Is that what I can arrange for the eldest lady of your Lin family, it's not that they can do whatever they want." ”

Chen Ting laughed: "Yes, they can do whatever they want." Okay, Yong, I'll go down the mountain first. ”

"Walk slowly. ”

Chen Ting left, and from the next day, Li Huayong began to work on marble. As the Lin Wei sisters said before, they served as "technical guides" in the quarry.

After living in the mountains for a few days and being busy in Yangjiazhai for a few days, Li Huayong asked Lin Wei on this day:

"Lotus, are you still used to living?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it. ”

Li Huayong smiled, as a boyfriend, how could Li Huayong not see that Lin Wei's words were a little insincere? The mountains are poor, and the conditions are very simple in all aspects. Li Huayong can actually see that Lin Wei is actually a little unaccustomed to living here. However, Lin Wei's temper and personality are okay, even if the princess is a little sick, it is not serious, so she just doesn't say it.

In fact, compared with Lin Wei, Li Huayong is more worried about her sister Lin Hui. agreed that it was a daughter, and it was a daughter who was still a little ill, to be honest, at the beginning, Li Huayong was really worried that she was not used to life here.

However, what Li Huayong didn't expect was that Lin Hui didn't seem to have to worry about anyone, she obviously liked the place of Li Jiaao more than Lin Wei.

It's not that she's really used to the poverty here, it's mainly that there's something that interests her. From the first day she went up the mountain, she was attracted by the ancient Hui style buildings in the village.

"I'm going to take pictures of them and send them to Pretty House......."

So in this way, Lin Hui walked around the whole village with a camera every day. Although the people in the mountains lack material life, they are extremely hospitable and very enthusiastic about the Lin Wei sisters. After getting along for a few days, everyone was happy.

In addition to taking photos of the ancient buildings, Lin Hui was also enthusiastic to discuss the differences between Chinese architecture and Western architecture with Li Huayong and Lin Wei.

"In the West, architecture is not only a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but also a place to shelter the soul, from the early worship of mountains and deserts to the worship of various natural gods. Therefore, Western architecture is generally tall, empty and endowed with divinity, so their traditional architecture was dominated by the construction of various temples from the beginning. In China, the ancestors were worshiped at first, and later the patriarchs, kings, emperors, etc., and in ancient China, divine power was always dependent on and subordinate to the imperial power. This determines that the architecture of Chinese dynasties is the abode of man, not the abode of God. This was true even for later religious buildings. Non-divinity is the foundation of traditional Chinese culture, and it is also one of its cores. ”

"It is precisely because of the different starting points that I think there is one thing about traditional Chinese architecture that is superior to Western architecture. Since Chinese people have always attached great importance to placing people and real life in the ideal real world, Chinese traditional architecture pays great attention to the feeling of "people", which is the advantage of traditional Chinese architecture. Because unlike Western architecture, which most of the time only considers the building itself, traditional Chinese architecture considers the "human" factor far more than the self-expression of the building itself. ”

"This humanist approach to creation is actually very good, and behind it is its deep cultural background and cultural roots. For example, in terms of building materials, the wood used in traditional Chinese construction does not pursue its permanence, and the idea of non-eternity is determined by the concept of non-eternity in the foundation of Chinese culture. And in the West, there is an epic of stone, the pursuit of architectural permanence. In terms of building volume, Chinese architecture is based on the principle of human scale, which requires "big and strong" and "suitable shape". The height and space of the building are controlled within the scale range suitable for human habitation, with the primary idea of human scale, even the palace and temple can not be built too big. In terms of modeling, Chinese architecture pays attention to the aesthetic principles of peace and nature, stability, and horizontal lines. Even the upward-growing towers were added with horizontal lines, combined with the Chinese pavilion architecture. ”

"It is particularly worth mentioning that when discussing aesthetic behavior, Westerners prefer realism and focus on the shaping of form, while Chinese prefer lyricism and focus on the creation of artistic conception; Westerners prefer the enjoyment of realistic beauty, and Chinese prefer the sustenance of ideal beauty." This kind of sustenance of ideal beauty permeates all kinds of art, and of course, it also permeates into architectural art. From the macro planning to the decoration and decoration of the single building, we can see the pursuit of ideal beauty. For example, the dragon and phoenix carvings in the royal buildings, as well as the "blessing, luck, longevity, happiness" and poetry and painting decorations with the theme of "auspicious ruyi" on the buildings in various places, all fully reflect the people-centered Chinese architecture and reflect people's longing for a better life......

Lin Hui was talking there, and Li Huayong and Lin Wei could only look at each other there. Although Li Huayong and Lin Wei both studied architecture, they both focused on structure, that is, the legendary "civil dogs".

When you encounter Lin Hui talking to you about architectural aesthetics and comparing the differences between Chinese and Western architecture, of course, most of the time you only have to listen.

"I'm under a lot of pressure to talk to your sister. This is a sentence that Li Huayong whispered to Lin Wei when Li Huayong and Lin Wei were alone one day.

Lin Wei sneered, like a blooming summer lotus, she glanced at Li Huayong:

"Li Dagong also has times when he is deflated. ”

"Hehe, I see that your sister is happy to live here, as long as she is happy. ”

Lin Hui is indeed happy to live here, because she is happy, Li Huayong and Lin Wei are naturally happy. After all, if a young woman in literature and art is happy, it will be very worry-free, right?

It's a pity that the time of happiness and peace of mind is still short-lived. Three days later, Chen Ting went up the mountain again and came to Lijiaao, this time with Liu Lingfeng.

Li Huayong noticed that the expressions of the two of them seemed to be extremely grim.

"What's going on?" Li Huayong began to speculate secretly.
