Chapter 290: The Forbidden City
Chapter 290: The Forbidden City (Asking for Flowers!) )
"Qingle, where are we going?" In a bus, he sat in the last row of windows in a white tracksuit during the day.
Beside him was Qingle in a gray robe.
"According to the usual practice, I should go to the Forbidden City." Qingle half-leaned on his seat, squinting his eyes at the people in the car, and casually answering the day's questions.
"The Forbidden City?" During the day, I was a little confused and seemed a little distracted.
"Yes, every year before the assessment of the 'Ancient Building Restoration Team', those old men always take us to the Forbidden City first."
Qingle said, his eyes swept over the figures in front of the car, flashing an inexplicable light: "The threshold for this year's invitation is really high enough." ”
During the day, he put down the doubts in his heart and looked at Qingle.
"The three old men sitting at the front of the car are the presidents of the Huaguo Architects Association, and they are also the direct leaders of the ancient building restoration team."
Sitting behind the three of them were Cui Kangcheng, chief designer of Beijing Architectural Design Institute, Ye Lechi, designer of Huaguo Architectural Design Institute, and Bai Botao, designer of Shanghai Modern Architectural Design Institute.
Qingle turned his face sideways, looked at the designers with his eyes, and whispered.
"This bus basically brings together the mainstay of the Chinese architect circle, and you can find all the top 50 design institutes in China here!"
In the entire bus, except for the relatively young drivers, they are basically the uncles of the two during the day.
The bus was quiet, most of the designers were closing their eyes, and only a few were talking in whispers.
"If this bus has an accident." Qingle looked at the day and said jokingly: "Our architectural design industry in China will lag behind for at least another ten years!" ”
"And the restoration of ancient buildings in China is a devastating disaster!"
As soon as Qingle's words fell, a pair of white eyes rolled over during the day, and turned to look at the traffic outside the window and walked away.
It has been more than ten days since I got Gu Lao's invitation, and in these days, almost all of my energy has been immersed in the work of deducing the ancient city of Chang'an.
Flipping through countless materials, discussing with various masters in the system world, but there is still not much progress.
Although there are a lot of preserved materials in this ancient city of Chang'an, there are so many cultures it contains, so that in the face of the huge ancient city, I am a little confused during the day.
'I don't know where to start' is the word that best describes the mood of the day at this time.
Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty was the first international metropolis in the history of China and the largest capital city in the world at that time, surpassing the previous Linzi ancient city in all aspects in terms of volume and other aspects.
The speed of the bus was very fast, and in the thoughts, the car had already reached its destination.
In the bus, when everyone got off the bus, the two of them got off the bus during the day.
There were 58 architects, including the three presidents of the architects' associations, and 55 architects who received invitations.
A small group gathered in front of the square, and the crowd that came and went in the square was not at all surprised by the situation.
This is the Forbidden City of the capital, and there are countless tour groups from all over the country every day, and in the eyes of passers-by, it is nothing more than an elderly tour group.
Of course, this team, which is mostly composed of elderly people, still has another thing that passers-by wonder about, and that is clothing.
Generally, older people in China like to wear brighter colors, but the color of this team is generally between black, white and gray, which looks very plain.
"Self-organized senior tours?"
In front of this square, there are a large number of individual tour guides. When the guides' eyes were focused on the team, their eyes lit up and they whispered to themselves.
If you are coming with a tour group, the guide will carry a small flag or bring a bright hat.
These self-organized elderly tour groups are best fooled, in the hearts of these tour guides, they are representatives of people who are stupid and have a lot of money!
Thinking of this, some of the younger guides immediately followed, while behind them, a group of older and more experienced guides stood on the ground and shook their heads with smiles. "The ancient architecture of China is known for its group combination!"
After the team of architects gathered, the three elders stood in front of everyone, the three of them were wearing blue-gray coats, and an old man with gray hair standing in the middle looked at everyone and said loudly.
The voice was high, and the tone was abrupt, and it was not at all obvious that it had reached the age of antiquity.
This old man is Xue Xinshui, president of the National Association of Architects, and President Xue. "The ancient buildings of Huaguo are a combination of many single buildings, and the buildings are especially good at using the combination of courtyards to achieve the different use requirements and spiritual goals of various buildings." "People's experience and artistic feelings of the building complex can only be really obtained when they enter the courtyards, and the courtyard is the soul of the layout of the ancient building group in China."
In the corner of this square, an older team, led by three old people, loudly explained the most basic things of traditional Chinese architecture.
Passers-by began to come and go, and gradually some people stopped and listened to the old man's explanation.
Several, more than a dozen tour guides walked up to the team, ready to wait for the old man to finish speaking before starting to sell himself. "A courtyard is an introverted enclosed space enclosed by a house, a fence and a corridor, which creates a quiet, safe and clean living environment. In societies that are vulnerable to natural disasters and social unrest, this enclosed courtyard is one of the most suitable architectural layout options. “
The Ancient Building Restoration Team is an elite team, and you can learn a lot in this team, which is a great opportunity to manage your network and improve your skills.
If you've been in this team, you'll be respected when you go out. Countless designers have sharpened their heads and want to get in! "The history of China is an extremely splendid civilization."
President Xue's voice fell, and another old man beside him stepped up. "Due to the different climate and topographical conditions, the size and situation of the courtyard also vary. In the northern dwellings, there are open front yards for plenty of sunshine in winter; In order to reduce the exposure of the scorching sun in the south, the courtyard is relatively small, and the image can be called a 'patio'."
This old man is the vice president, Yun Wenchang. The three old men may not have a strong influence on design, but they have made great contributions to the architectural design circle of China.
In this square, the three old men began to give a brief explanation.
The sentence is very capable, but it condenses the most essential knowledge of traditional Chinese architecture.
Even during the day, even the mainstay of many design circles listened carefully, and the essence of wisdom flashed in their eyes from time to time.
More and more passers-by stopped their hurried steps and stood beside the daytime procession, listening attentively to the speeches of the three old men.
More and more people are fascinated, and these three elders depict the most fundamental place of Chinese architecture in the simplest sentences.
The long architectural history of Huaguo has shown the tip of the iceberg in front of everyone, and this small part seems to open a mysterious door for everyone.
In the hearts of these passers-by, the seeds of traditional architecture have been left, and it turns out that not only those Western modern buildings are beautiful, but also our traditional Chinese buildings are longer and more magnificent!
The old man's high-pitched voice sounded in the huge square, and the old but very loud voice seemed to have a kind of magic.
"A series of courtyards and buildings of different shapes and sizes are arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically along a deep route, creating a variety of ambient atmospheres"
"After experiencing the influence of space art between different courtyards and buildings, people can finally reach a certain spiritual realm - or reverence, or solemnity, or leisurely have the idea of being born."
At this time, hundreds of people had gathered around everyone during the day, attracting the attention of the guards in front of the square.
Several guards quickly rushed to the scene, and after seeing that it was Xue Lao's team, they had a bottom in their hearts and began to maintain their order.
"This is a unique artistic technique of ancient Chinese buildings, and some people compare it to a long scroll of Chinese landscape painting, which can produce a fascinating and fascinating effect!"
Xue Lao and Yun Lao took turns to narrate, and the things were not very deep, but they slowly guided everyone.
At this time of year, the lecture in this square is not only to educate the architects in front of them.
To be honest, they all know this knowledge during the day, and I emphasize it to them again so that they can be more aware and refreshed. What is more important is that Chinese tourists and foreign tourists have always come and gone to popularize the broad and profound Chinese architectural culture.
Among the onlookers, there were many tourists who took out their mobile phones and cameras to record photos.
By the hands of these passers-by, more people will hear this explanation! Many white-skinned and dark-skinned foreigners are also shocked by Chinese culture!
"Is there anything wrong with the guys?"
The explanation of the three old men stopped, and Xue Lao looked at the few young people who had been standing on the side and asked.
"Ahem"
Being glanced at by Xue Lao's gaze, those young people suddenly had a dry cough and an embarrassed look on their faces. "It's nothing, we're just attracted by what you have to say."
These young people are the young tour guides who have made up their minds to come to grab the list, and after listening to the speeches of several old people, how can they not know that these old people are big bulls!
I was very embarrassed, and a more excited tour guide hurriedly responded. "So that's the case, I like my own culture, and the young man is good!"
Xue Lao nodded and said with a smile. "Then we'll leave first, and our partners are waiting for us."
Leaving a word, several tour guides quickly trotted away and ran to the side of the old guides. "What is the origin of their group of old men? Do you know anything? Otherwise, why didn't you rush up, you were the fastest in the past! “
The young tour guide asked one after another. "You're still too young, young man."
The old tour guide who was asked smiled and said, "Today is August 15th, and every year on this day, there will be such a team coming to the Forbidden City in the afternoon." "I heard that this team is composed of the top architectural designers in Huaguo, and it is the reserve team of the restoration team of ancient buildings in Huaguo."
The tour guide said this, suddenly stopped, looked at a few people and asked with a little pride: "Do you know the Huaguo ancient building restoration team?"
