Chen Xun also knew that it was useless to talk to the little emperor about this. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Chang'an is now Gyeonggi, how can you say that you can move? Who can believe that he can really see what will happen four hundred years from now? This is all "nonsense", who really believes in him?

As everyone knows, the little emperor who he thinks is the most unlikely to believe really believes it, and the others don't believe it. This is all because of Lu Chengqi's "special" experience, who called him a person who has experienced smog? If you want to come to Chang'an in the future, the environment is similar......

After Chen Xun said goodbye, he took Lu Chengqi's handwritten will and went to find the general to be the supervisor.

The general supervisor is the official office where Dashun is in charge of the palace building, the production of gold, jade, pearls, emerald rhino elephant treasure utensils, the embroidery of lesami, and various strange utensils, and the yamen with abundant oil and water. But now that there is the Inspectorate of Inspection, these people also know how to be more restrained. Chen Xun had already piled up the stone in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, otherwise how could he hide people's eyes?

The Ministry of Industry often repairs some royal gardens, and it is normal to make some rockeries with strange stones, and no one will ask more. Although there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the fact that he offered advice to the little emperor has been faintly spread among the people, only he and the little emperor know how to use his methods.

I went to the general as a prisoner, found people to go to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry to carry stones, and divided a part of the people to dig a pool at the old site of the original Furong Palace.

It is said to be a pool, but with the spirit of royalty, this pool must be incredibly large, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an artificial lake.

Anyway, Chen Xun stayed in Furong Palace for a month, supervising those craftsmen to dig into a pond. This pool is also exquisite, to be nine feet deep, the whole pool is exactly fifty zhang square, this is the regular number of the royal garden, the secret of the ninety-five. Converted to the unit of later generations, that is, it is almost three meters deep, circular in shape, and about 150 meters in diameter. Outside the pool, it is necessary to make a square shape, which is the idea of "heaven and earth are round", and it is also in line with "the unity of heaven and man".

After the pond was dug, no water was immediately diverted, because the core of the building had not yet begun. The core of the whole sub lies in the three rockeries. This is not the tofu slag project of the later generations, if it is the tofu slag project of the later generations, then there is no need to even lay the foundation, and it is directly piled up with stones to form a rockery. But this is the reign of the emperor, you dare to cut corners in the royal garden, isn't this the birthday boy hanging, and he has a long life!

This stacking rockery, like building a house, must first be a foundation, the so-called "foundation". First of all, according to the scope of the predetermined design, the ditch is driven and piled. The area and depth of the footing are determined by the size and weight of the rockery. Chen Xun is an all-rounder, and although he specializes in feng shui, he also knows a little about house architecture. After all, as a feng shui master, you must know how to look at the house. When looking at a house, you also need to know some knowledge about house construction. When supervising the foundation of the craftsmen, Chen Xun said casually on the side: "About half of the foundation of the rockery is erected in the water. Measure the height of the top first, and then determine the shallow depth of the base. Stone digging must know that occupy the sky, and the surrounding soil will inevitably occupy an area. The most taboo is in the middle, cheap and casual. At the beginning of the mountain, the pile wood is the first, and it is shorter and longer than it, and it is real and virtual. The roots are paved with rough stones, and large pieces are covered with pile heads. ”

As soon as these words came out, these craftsmen no longer dared to be fooled. The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. The stacking of garden rockery must start from the design, so that you can be confident, the intention is to write first, first determine the position, shape and depth of the rockery foundation, otherwise when the foundation of the rockery has been out of the ground, and then want to change the overall shape of the rockery, increase the height or volume, it is very difficult. The excavation depth of the general rockery foundation is based on the principle of being able to carry the overall weight of the rockery without sinking, and it can not be deformed in a long time. Originally, the rockery also required a low cost and simple construction, but this is a royal garden, so naturally how good it is, how luxurious it is.

The "pile wood" in Chen Xun's mouth is actually a pile foundation, which is the oldest rockery foundation practice. In particular, rockeries or rockery revetments in the water are widely used. The wise ancients had long thought of beating the bottom of the pile to a hard soil layer that could contact the underwater or weak soil layer to form an artificially reinforced support layer, and the piles were evenly distributed within the rockery foundation, which was called "support pile". If the plane layout is arranged in the shape of a plum blossom, it is called a "plum blossom pile"; It is used to compact the soil to strengthen the bearing capacity of the soil, which is called "friction pile". Cypress or fir are usually used for piles, so as to make them straight and more resistant to water and moisture.

Where there is a rockery foundation of the water revetment, most of them use fir piles, and the top of the pile wood exposes the bottom of the lake more than ten centimeters to dozens of centimeters, during which a block of stone is embedded tightly, and then the top is pressed with granite strip stones. The rockery of the natural form such as rough stone and stone is used on the top of the stone, and the layout is beautiful. The stone and rubble should be placed below the minimum water line, and the lower part of the natural form of rockery should also be below the water line, which is not only beautiful, but also reduces the decay of the pile, so some piles can not be damaged for more than 100 years.

A rockery, it is not difficult to say, but these skilled craftsmen still piled up for more than a month to complete most of it. In addition to laying a good foundation, the royal garden also requires beauty and generosity. Therefore, on the rockery, it is indispensable to form a real mountain-like shape. This is a great test of the comprehensive ability of the stonemason to dig holes, fill and carve stones. A strange stone is strange, but it still takes a lot of effort to make it fit the overall layout.

In addition to digging holes, rockeries also pay attention to the top. The top of the mountain is the layout of the uppermost outline and peak stone of the rockery, because the top of the mountain is the main part that shows the mountain and charm, and is also the main part that determines the center of gravity and shape of the whole rockery, so it is very important, it is considered the soul of the whole rockery. The summit is generally divided into three types: peaks, mountains and flat tops. In short, the top should grasp the overall effect of the mountain, coordinate with the rockery, direction, volume, texture, etc., and the treatment should be changed and the end should be complete.

According to the legend, it is the shape of the three immortal mountains of Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou, and it is only after they are topped one by one that they come to an end. In addition, there is only the official kiln to burn the ceramics of various immortal characters and rare beasts. In the end, you only need to embed these burned ceramic figures, mythical beasts and birds in (note that it is embedded, not solidified with cement, and there is no cement at this time), this kung fu seems simple, but it is actually the most ingenious test.

The final process, the construction of a circuitous promenade leading to the three immortal mountains, was completed, and the costly project was completed.

This pond and three mountains were built for more than two months, and they were built from before the Qingming Dynasty to after the beginning of the summer before they were completed.

During this period, Lu Chengqi came to "inspect" two or three times, but he was also overwhelmed by these skilled craftsmen. These three immortal mountains really look like a mound from a distance, and there is a faint fairy mist on them. No wonder Song Huizong likes to play with stones, it turns out that the stones are well played, they are really ingenious and beautiful!

In addition, the immortal figures, rare and exotic beasts burned out of Dingzhou white porcelain, and then transplanted with flowers and plants, are simply a great river and mountain in every square inch, which is no different from the "sand table" recommended by Lu Chengqi, but it is more realistic. Lu Chengqi was amazed, and he had to reward these craftsmen again. Not to mention that this is the key to arranging a feng shui bureau, this craft alone is enough to pleasing the eye. It took 100,000 yuan to create three beautiful rockeries, but it was worth it. (To be continued.) )
