Chapter 15: Giving a Lecture
"Luoyi? I will! ”
Chu Mingchen easily had a chance to show, and without modesty, he got up and pointed to the floor plan on the projection screen and said:
It was built by the fourth son of King Wen of Zhou, Ji Dan, that is, Zhou Gongdan. The urban planning of Luoyi is almost exactly the same as the urban planning described in the section "Craftsmen Camp Country" in the book "Examination of Gongji", which was discovered in the Western Han Dynasty and added to the "Zhou Li". Craftsmen camp the country, Fang Jiuli, next to the ......"
Ancient writing is his weakness, and endorsement is even less good at.
Just when everyone was listening energetically, Chu Mingchen was stuck here, and he could only scratch his head in embarrassment.
"It's a craftsman camping the country, Fang Jiuli, next to the three gates!"
Lou Xinyue on the side hurriedly answered, she thought that Chu Mingchen had a lot of ability, but she didn't expect that this embroidered pillow was leaking the stuffing by herself.
Seeing that he gestured to himself to make a gesture of you do what you come, he "hummed" and continued:
"There are nine warps and nine latitudes in the country, and nine tracks are painted in warp. Left ancestor right society, facing the market. Kazuo Ichijo. ”
"Yes! I thought you would only stink! Chu Mingchen was surprised, and when he saw that Lou Xinyue gave him another slap in the face, he cheekily asked, "Then you are translating, what do you mean by what you say?" ”
"It's very simple."
Lou Xinyue looked at the others proudly:
That is to say, the craftsman needed to build the capital nine miles square, and the four sides of the capital city had three gates on each side. There are nine north-south highways and nine east-west highways in the capital, each of which can accommodate nine vehicles in parallel. Outside the gate of the royal palace is the temple on the left, and on the right is the shrine altar; In front of the sleeping road of the royal palace is the court, and behind the royal palace is the city. Each city and each dynasty is 100 steps square, and a husband is about 100 acres of land. ”
After she finished speaking, she raised her chin at He Ying again, and when she saw He Ying, she nodded and said, "Lou Xinyue is very right. Then he glanced at Chu Mingchen again.
Tang Guoguo couldn't see the sword light in the eyes of the two, and raised his hand again to ask:
"He Ying, didn't you say just now that Luoyi was built by a pair of capital planners and builders? But now I only know that Zhou Gongdan is the planner of the capital, and who is the other builder? Also, what did the builders do at that time? ”
"That's a good question."
He Ying added in due course:
"When Zhou Gongdan was building Luoyi, the name of the builder he appointed was Mi Mu. His work involves all aspects, such as counting the number of zhang, the height and humility, the thickness of the degree, the ditch and the ditch, the earthwork, the discussion of the distance, the measurement of the period, the calculation of the vain, the consideration of materials, the book and grain, and so on, and also compiles the 'order to serve the princes'. It's just that we haven't seen any specific information about Mi Mou's life so far. ”
Tang Guoguo nodded as if he didn't understand, but there were still a lot of things he didn't understand: "Then he is responsible for counting the number of zhang and the humble...... What exactly is the job, can you put it bluntly? ”
"You can put these jobs into the job responsibilities of a modern builder or construction engineer."
Gu Zhaodi, who was on the side, obviously understood these contents more thoroughly after being exposed to the wind and sun on the construction site:
"In addition to signing the project contract, they also need to formulate the project design, procurement, construction plan and follow up, which requires a comprehensive understanding of the project's construction area, volume, water supply and drainage, distance and distance, construction period, materials and logistics of workers."
"I see." Tang Guoguo suddenly realized after hearing this, "In this way, I will understand." ”
Gu Zhaodi smiled and began to take the initiative to speak:
"Since the architects of the ancient and Shang and Zhou dynasties have been introduced, according to the historical process, the next one should be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I guess it must be Luban, right?"
"Yes and not quite."
When He Ying said this, he sold it again and clicked on the third page of PTT.
Tang Guoguo stopped taking notes, Chu Mingchen and Lou Xinyue stopped arguing with each other, and the four of them looked at the projection screen seriously.
But the picture above made them puzzled.
I saw that the picture was full of all kinds of carpenter's tools, as well as the names of several craftsmen and countless woodwork and construction. On the picture of a bearded figure in the middle, the two big characters "Luban" are neatly written.
And below these two words, there is a line of small words: the general representative of Chinese folk craftsmen (architects).
"What is a general representative?" Gu Zhaodi took the lead in asking for everyone, "Could it be that Lu Ban is not only a person, but also a symbol of a group?" ”
"That's right! That's it! He Ying didn't expect Gu Zhaodi to be really smart and guessed.
The other three felt that the three views were subverted, and they couldn't believe it.
Lou Xinyue asked sharply: "Isn't Lu Ban a carpenter?" How did it become a symbol again? ”
"Yes, he also wrote the "Luban Sutra" and invented the Luban ruler." Tang Guoguo's face was incredulous.
Chu Mingchen began to mumble and scratch his head again: "Senior Sister He Ying, I don't read much, don't lie to me." ”
He Ying was not in a hurry to explain, but asked a new question: "Then when it comes to Lu Ban, what do you know about him?" ”
"I only know that Lu Ban is a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, with the surname Ji, Gongyi, and his name, and he is also in class. Because he is a native of Lu, he is also called Luban. He is the ancestor of Chinese carpenters, inventing saws, ink fountains, and rulers for carpentry......" Gu Zhaodi said, looking at the ceiling and thinking for a moment, and suddenly "oh", "His wife is also an outstanding female craftsman, and she invented the umbrella." ”
Seeing He Ying nodded, Chu Mingchen, who had been ridiculed by Lou Xinyue for a long time, also raised his hand and signaled: "I also know that there is a Luban Temple in Jixian County, Hebei, and what is enshrined in it is like the Qiao Shengxian Master Gongyi." ”
"It's like a public loser." Talking about the ancients, Lou Xinyue is not left behind, "He also invented siege ladders and gliders, I can't imagine that a carpenter can still make military weapons, if it is put now, I am afraid it will also be out of the circle." ”
"Then look at it this way, Lu Ban is obviously a person, why is he still a symbol?" Tang Guoguo was confused.
He Ying put forward a different view:
"Luban did have a lot of inventions, and in the beginning, he did appear in the legend as a character. But gradually, we have also found in history that whenever people encounter complex engineering problems that are difficult to solve, no matter what dynasty, Luban will always appear in time. ”
"For example?" Chu Mingchen likes to listen to this kind of legend the most.
"For example, the world-famous Zhaozhou Bridge in Hebei Province, everyone knows that it was built by Li Chun of the Sui Dynasty, but there is also a folk legend that Luban built the bridge overnight, and even alarmed Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals."
After He Ying finished speaking, after clicking on a stone bridge, he brought up a photo of a corner tower:
"For another example, when Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to BJ to build the Forbidden City, he suddenly dreamed of an immortal tower, and an immortal came out to tell him that this immortal tower was nine beams, eighteen pillars and seventy-two ridges. So he ordered the craftsmen to build it in the same way, but the craftsmen had never seen such a structure, and when they couldn't make a difference, they wanted to commit suicide en masse. At this moment, Lu Ban actually appeared with a gnat, and this gnat cage happened to be a model of the corner tower. ”
"If that's the kind of legend, then I know one."
Chu Mingchen finally had the opportunity to interject again:
"There is a Chongning building in the Guandi Temple in Jiezhou, Shanxi, which was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and there are 26 stone pillars around the Chongning Building. Legend has it that these pillars were heavier than the ashlar blocks used to build the Egyptian pyramids, and the craftsmen could not erect them at all, until a mad old man suddenly appeared and instructed them to erect the pillars by filling them with sandbags. And this crazy old man is Lu Ban's class! ”
"But ......" Lou Xinyue listened, a little puzzled, "Lu Ban lived in the Spring and Autumn Period, how could he travel to so many dynasties in later generations?" ”
"So, that's what I think, Luban is not only an architect, he is also a representative of civil architects."
He Ying didn't know if her understanding was right, but she still shared her opinion:
In fact, for Chinese folk craftsmen, Lu Ban is no longer as simple as a carpenter ancestor, he is more of a symbol, an object of worship. For example, Zhuge Liang represents wisdom, Guan Yu symbolizes righteousness, and Lu Ban represents skill, and he embodies all the wisdom of China's folk craftsmen. ”
After she finished speaking, she pointed to several unfamiliar names on the PPT page:
During the Spring and Autumn Period, many prosperous cities had appeared in China, such as Qufu in the Lu State, Linzi in the Qi State, Helu in the Wu State, and Xianyang in the Qin State. Countless craftsmen were needed to build these cities and buildings, but like the houses they built, the vast majority of these craftsmen have been lost to history. Fortunately, in the "Records of Philosophers and Craftsmen" compiled by Mr. Zhu Qiling, the founder of the China Construction Society, the craftsmen of this period are included, although these eleven craftsmen are not as famous as Lu Ban, but they are still worth remembering. ”
Immediately afterwards, the PPT automatically played the names of these craftsmen: Lun Bian, Wang Shihan, Xi Si, Jiang Qing, Wei Ai Lie, Wang Er, Ziqing, Zhao Gong, Emperor Guofu, Jingjun, Long Jia.
And these eleven strange architects, indeed, are rarely remembered by later generations, as Ye Fangyu said.
After talking about Luban in the Spring and Autumn Period.
He Ying also introduced the era of Qin and Han Dynasty unification, the emperor architects and his assistants who were able to plan and execute one great building after another.
First of all, two heavyweights of the Qin Dynasty, the pioneers of the architectural culture of the centralized state - Ying Zheng and Meng Tian.
The unprecedented architectural projects in the history of this pair include, but are not limited to: the Great Wall to resist the Huns, the gallop comparable to today's highways, the Xianyang Palace with extremely advanced living facilities, the Shanglinyuan Afang Palace, and the multi-functional Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang that integrates figures, decoration and security systems.
Of course, they also really show the tragic cost of blindly pursuing infrastructure without considering their own circumstances.
Secondly, after the bankruptcy of the Qin Dynasty Infrastructure Group, the founders of the Western Han Dynasty architectural style, Xiao He, Yang Chengyan and Liu Che, made their debut.
In this seemingly stable iron triangle, Xiao He has a very unique design concept, not only designing the image representative of the Han Dynasty architecture "Que", but also adhering to the idea of "non-magnificent, incomparable", and fully designed the Weiyang Palace. And the warcraftsman Yang Chengyan is responsible for the implementation of Changle Weiyang Palace and Chang'an City. As for Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it broke through the standards of Liu Bang and Xiao He, opened the wind of luxury and beauty, not only built the Jianzhang Palace, but also built the Feige Road across the city between it and the Weiyang Palace, and truly realized the high-speed direct.
Watch the time pass little by little.
He Ying was afraid that if he only told the stories of these architectural histories and architects, everyone would find them boring, so he supported Tang Guoguo to talk about some basic common sense of Chinese gardens.
However, although Tang Guoguo was fully prepared, the moment he stood on the podium, his legs were still trembling nervously.
"I'll talk about it today, and talk about a few aspects in "Yuanye". After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, turned around and wrote two words on the blackboard, "I just finished learning Xiangdi, so let's talk about this first." ”
Watching the four people in the audience listen attentively to his lecture, Tang Guoguo's heart "banged", and unconsciously began to stutter again:
"The garden base, the garden base is not informal, the direction, the terrain has its own, its own height. It means, ......"
Just as Tang Guoguo was thinking about what to say next, there was a sudden knock on the door of the classroom.
She looked sideways, and Wang Jinze's sunny smile instantly came into view.
And he, as if beckoning to himself......
Is it to open the door? Or run to the classroom and hide?
