Chapter 44: The Debate
"Who said you were told to do the math?"
Seeing that Chu Mingchen, the only big boy in the group, was only wailing at this time, and he didn't act as calm as the other girls, Ye Fangyu glanced at him helplessly, and thought that his grades were extremely poor, so he tried his best to speak professionally and easily understandable:
"What you have to do is to minimize the waste of wood when cutting wood, and also make reasonable use of leftovers, so as to reduce the cost of wood. If we can keep scrap to a minimum, we'll have more high-quality timber to choose from. However, in order to ensure the beauty and stability of the entire individual timber building, the timber we chose needed to be consistent in many aspects, not only the texture, the colour of the heartwood and the air-dry density, but also the smell. ”
When Ye Fangyu said this, the entire multimedia classroom was so quiet that it could be heard.
No one could have imagined that the difficulty of making ancient building models was already daunting, and now even the selection of wood in the preparation stage has so many requirements.
The five of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought, especially Chu Mingchen.
At this time, he had already put away his expression, and he was repeatedly thinking about how he would make the first knife in order to give full play to the maximum value of each piece of wood.
But Ye Fangyu in front of the podium was still putting pressure on him.
"Therefore, every knife and saw of yours must not go wrong."
Ye Fangyu said word by word, and the eyes that looked at Chu Mingchen also revealed unprecedented solemnity:
"If the model is in the final stage, there is not enough wood and we can't find a suitable one to make up for it, so we have to tear it down and start over. I'm like this, you should always know how to cooperate with Lou Xinyue, right? ”
Chu Mingchen nodded blankly, but immediately shook his head: "But Mr. Ye, the budget and cost are not something I can control alone, and I also have to look at the structural diagram of how Gu Zhaodi makes big woodwork, and how Senior Sister He Ying draws the sketch." ”
"Well, that's what they need to do with all their might." Seeing that he seemed to have opened up something, Ye Fangyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Zhaodi again, "Then Gu Zhaodi, do you think such a request is too harsh?" ”
"No, it won't." Gu Zhaodi replied very simply, "Theoretically, these requirements are completely achievable. I can calculate the number of components and the volume of timber needed for a single building, and I can also reduce the space as much as possible. However, in order to avoid the problem of insufficient wood, I think it is safer to prepare with twice the volume. ”
Gu Zhaodi was as confident as ever, but she still said before everyone exclaimed, "but" two words:
"The premise of preparing these things is to see which building we are restoring. Moreover, if you want to refine more details, accurate mapping data is also essential. ”
After she finished speaking, she didn't need Ye Fangyu's guidance, so she took the initiative to say to He Ying: "When the time comes, we can improve the sketch together, but the part about paint and color painting can only rely on yourself." ”
When it comes to paints and paintings of ancient buildings, He Ying's answer is also professional enough: "Since it comes to the budget for paints and paintings, like Gu Zhaodi, as long as the restored building is determined, the amount of materials and pigments can be calculated." However, based on my current theoretical knowledge and practical experience, I would have a better chance of winning if I chose the Beijing-style official architecture. ”
"I agree." This coincides with Gu Zhaodi's thoughts, "Moreover, there are many existing Beijing-style official buildings, the most famous ones such as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, Prince Gong's Mansion, the Lama Temple, the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace. ”
"If you go to BJ to inspect the ancient buildings, then I can provide accommodation!" Thinking that the third bedroom that his uncle had just replaced in the suburbs of Beijing was still empty and not rented out, Chu Mingchen was the first to raise his hand to agree.
Tang Guoguo was in a fog when he heard it, and he was still thinking about what he could do for Lou Xinyue, but he didn't expect that in only three or five minutes, everyone determined the style of the work of the municipal finalists.
was surprised, but for the first time in the world, no one was in the clouds.
wanted to say something about his thoughts, but was preempted by Lou Xinyue: "I have a different opinion!" ”
The eyes of several people instantly converged on Lou Xinyue.
"There are six major factions of ancient Chinese architecture, why do you have to choose the Beijing style official architecture? Is Hui architecture bad? ”
Lou Xinyue, who grew up with her grandmother in the countryside of southern Anhui, is most familiar with the blue tiles and white walls in the mist and rain. Although the family later moved out of there, when she thinks of the patchwork and black-and-white response of the horse-head wall, she will think of the bits and pieces of getting along with her grandmother, and remember the poem that her grandmother would always read to her: the blue brick small tile horse-head wall, the cloister hanging lattice windows.
With the blessing of family affection and nostalgia, it is natural to have a preference for Hui architecture.
And the reason why she hopes to participate in the competition with Hui architectural works is that after everyone raised questions, she gave quite a valid reason:
"Hui style architecture was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2000. The brick carved gatehouse, blue tile and white wall are its unique features. It is also because of this that the Hui style houses can also be regarded as representatives of the houses in southern China. And these dwellings, together with the ancestral hall and the archway, are also known as the three unique ancient buildings of Huizhou. Even Tang Xianzu said: I am obsessed with everything I have in my life, and I have no dream of coming to Huizhou. Moreover, the wood carving, stone carving, and brick carving of the Hui style dwellings can also show the carving skills of the early Mingchen. Therefore, I think that the Hui style architecture must be the most distinctive as a work. ”
When it comes to the investigation, Lou Xinyue did not forget to introduce the food: "Moreover, I like the crab shell yellow baked cake and tiger skin hairy tofu in Huangshan the most!" ”
"Miss, I ask you to think about it with your brain before you speak!" Chu Mingchen listened, and directly poured a basin of cold water on it, "Among the five of us, only I am a beginner in Dongyang wood carving." Let's not talk about my carving of this thing, will it be far from the emblem carving works, just take out the carved wooden door and brick carved gatehouse, this amount of work is enough for me to carve for a month. During this period, not only did He Ying's color painting skills have no use; Even the wooden structure of ancient Chinese architecture, which Gu Zhaodi is best at, is difficult to show through her works. ”
Seeing that Lou Xinyue wanted to refute, the others were eager to try.
Although Ye Fangyu felt that her class was only halfway through and there were more important things to finish, she still didn't want to interrupt this surprising debate. I just sat down quietly, opened the thermos cup, and enjoyed it while drinking tea.
Sure enough, the ensuing debate did not disappoint her.
Lou Xinyue thought about it, but still felt that Chu Mingchen's words were reasonable, so she didn't continue to argue.
Instead, Tang Guoguo stood up and put forward his own ideas: "According to what Chu Mingchen said, the Hui school architecture is indeed not suitable as a preliminary work, so can you consider the Su school architecture?" ”
"Supai architecture? Can Guoguo explain why? He Ying has always listened carefully to everyone's opinions, and in the face of Tang Guoguo's proposal, she showed more patience and attention.
"I, I don't know so much about architecture, but because I learned the history of ancient gardening, I have a little understanding of Soviet architecture." Tang Guoguo looked at the eyes of the other four people, although he was apprehensive in his heart, he still tried his best to express, "Supai architecture began in the Spring and Autumn Period, and has a history of thousands of years. The horse building, the Ming tile window, and the street building in the Soviet architecture are all representatives of the charm of the south of the Yangtze River, such as the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lingering Garden, which can also be used as the object of investigation. ”
This time, Chu Mingchen couldn't bear to pour cold water, and He Ying and Lou Xinyue desperately thought about what single buildings in the Soviet-style garden could be restored.
Only Gu Zhaodi shook her head in denial.
"Why?" Tang Guoguo didn't understand, "If you talk about it, there is still a slight connection between the Su school architecture and the Beijing school architecture. ”
Chu Mingchen blurted out, "What is the connection?" ”
"Suzhou's Xiangshan Gang!" Tang Guoguo's eyes lit up, "During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the craftsmen who came to BJ to build the Forbidden City were the craftsmen of the Xiangshan Gang in Suzhou, and the most famous of them was Kuaixiang, who entered the office by the craftsmen and worshiped the left waiter of the second product of the Ministry of Labor. ”
"Kuaixiang? Is it the role played by Wu Lei in "Da Ming Craftsman"? When Lou Xinyue heard this, she began to scream again, "It turns out that his role is so powerful!" Ahhh Let's restore the building of the Suzhou Xiangshan Gang! Our family Yuan Lei will definitely support me! ”
But Chu Mingchen didn't bother to pay attention to the pink bubbles in Lou Xinyue's eyes, turned around and asked Gu Zhaodi with a serious face:
"Since the Su faction and the Jing faction have such a deep relationship, there should be no difference in the wooden structure, right? Besides, Senior Sister He Ying is the best at Soviet-style color painting, why don't you think it's okay? ”
