"Because ......," Gu Zhaodi's face was still serious.

Just when the other three and Ye Fangyu were curious about what earth-shattering remarks Gu Zhaodi would say.

But she just sighed and replied: "The team of Huaming Architectural Vocational and Technical College will use Supai architectural works to participate in the finalists, and I think we should avoid it." ”

"Huh? Huaming Construction's team? Tang Guoguo opened his mouth in surprise for a moment, thinking that Cheng Bo, whom he met yesterday, was a student of Huaming Architectural Vocational and Technical College, and they would also participate in the ancient architecture competition, so he spoke first, "What you said, could it be ......?"

"Yes, it's Cheng Bo." Gu Zhaodi replied very crisply, "Yesterday when I was waiting for He Ying at the Tianyang Academy of Fine Arts, the five of them had been discussing the layout of Suzhou gardens, water management, stacked mountains, buildings, and flowers and trees, and they were also arguing over the selection of works. ”

Looking at Tang Guoguo's expression with "Why don't I know" written on his face, Gu Zhaodi was a little helpless: "They quarreled like that, you shouldn't have understood a word, right?" ”

"No wonder when they first talked about the Lingering Garden and Canglang Pavilion, I couldn't interject. When it came to Yongcui Villa, those girls ignored Cheng Bo, and Cheng Bo turned back to talk to me about Supai architecture. It turns out that they are discussing which garden to restore? Tang Guoguo realized it later, and then scratched his forehead embarrassedly, "Since they know so much about Soviet-style gardens, they must be better at restoring Soviet-style buildings!" Let's not choose the Soviet building......"

After listening to Tang Guoguo's words, Lou Xinyue was instantly deflated.

After all, the six major factions of ancient Chinese architecture, Beijing, Hui, Su, Jin, Fujian, and Sichuan, she only understands the Hui school and the Su school, and these two proposals have been defeated by reality, so she naturally has nothing to say.

The other four people then discussed the possibility of participating in the competition between Min School architecture and Sichuan school architecture.

Popular in southern Fujian, the Yongding Hakka tulou that exerts the raw soil ramming technology to the extreme, has a long history dating back to the Song and Yuan dynasties, and its distinctive characteristics are the representative of Fujian architecture. It was supposed to be the most popular work, but it was abandoned because the scale of the single building was too grand, and it was too difficult to obtain information.

When it came to discussing the Sichuan-style architecture that prevailed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other regions, everyone still expressed their own opinions. Although the stilted building in western Sichuan, which is known as the "living fossil of Bachu culture", with its unique semi-gangan-style architectural characteristics, compares the Dai bamboo tower and the Dong drum tower, the restored buildings of this style still cannot give full play to the advantages of He Ying and Gu Zhaodi, and naturally they are not chosen by everyone.

What surprised others, including Ye Fangyu, was that when voting by show of hands on whether to use the Jin school building to participate in the competition, He Ying, who initially proposed to use the Beijing school official building to participate in the competition, was the first to agree.

"If you talk about the six major factions of ancient buildings, in addition to the Beijing faction, my favorite is the magnificent Jin faction."

She did not choose "cave architecture", which is extremely limited by the terrain of the characteristic architecture of the northwest region, to elaborate, but believes that the Jin style architecture in the narrow sense of Shanxi's "urban architecture" has more investigation and restoration value:

"Shanxi is located in the Yellow River Basin, is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, the ancient buildings left there, the era is long, there are many categories, the shape is diverse, the number is the first in the country. I think it's also a good choice to find an ancient building with a long history and local characteristics to restore. ”

Such a proposal was also affirmed by Gu Zhaodi.

"That's true." As soon as He Ying's voice fell, she used more accurate data to corroborate, "According to the statistics of the third national cultural relics census, there are 263885 ancient buildings in the country, of which there are 28,640 ancient buildings in Shanxi, accounting for 10.85% of the national total. Moreover, the age span of ancient buildings in Shanxi is from the Northern Dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there is almost no broken dynasty. As far as the wooden structure is concerned, the structure of these ancient buildings not only covers all the structural types in the "Construction Style" compiled by Li Jie, the second year of Chongning in the Song Dynasty, but even exceeds the legend in the book. ”

Not only that, after Tang Guoguo and Lou Xinyue exclaimed, she also classified the ancient buildings in Shanxi that she was familiar with according to different characteristics in her mind:

"Moreover, the ancient buildings of Shanxi also have very obvious regional cultural characteristics. Whether it is religious buildings, residential buildings, or painted murals, there are a lot of physical objects to refer to, and we can always choose a work that allows each of us to play to our strengths. ”

This statement is well-founded and quite persuasive.

Lou Xinyue and Tang Guoguo instantly overturned their previous thoughts.

Even Chu Mingchen did not hesitate to pat Gu Zhaodi's ass:

"It is said that the underground cultural relics look at Shaanxi, and the above-ground cultural relics look at Shanxi. Unexpectedly, you are not only interested in the cultural relics under the ground of Shaanxi, but also the ancient buildings on the ground in Shanxi. No wonder my uncle asked me to learn more from you as soon as I called, and I had time to learn more! ~”

Gu Zhaodi smiled and didn't say anything.

Instead, Lou Xinyue glared at Chu Mingchen with a smug face, "Now I'm convinced!" Seeing that Chu Mingchen didn't refute, she looked at Tang Guoguo again, "What He Ying and Gu Zhaodi said also makes sense, then let's just agree!" ”

"Hmm." Tang Guoguo nodded heavily when she heard this, and when she thought that she would be able to go to Shanxi for investigation after a while, she unconsciously revealed a little excitement in her words, "And I can also go to see so many ancient buildings, I am excited to think about it!" ~”

"Yes! I've only been to the ancient city of Pingyao, and I haven't been to other places in Shanxi yet!~" Lou Xinyue also put her little fist on her chin and made a expression at He Ying and Gu Zhaodi.

"That's right! ~"Seeing that the goals of the four girls were about to be agreed, Chu Mingchen, who had always been yearning for the Jin school architecture, seemed to be a little entangled, "The ancient buildings of the Jin school are indeed how Senior Sister Ying and Gu Zhaodi said, there are many shapes and a long history, which is a very big advantage." But for us who have to compete, it's not necessarily an advantage. ”

"Why do you say that?" He Ying and Gu Zhaodi asked in unison.

"The most important thing in front of us is to participate in the Ancient Architecture Competition, and it is important to restore a unique work, but don't forget that the Ancient Architecture Competition is divided into three stages."

Chu Mingchen leaned back in his chair as he spoke, found a comfortable posture, and began to point out the country.

"In addition to the municipal play-in competition, which has two months of preparation time, the preparation time for the provincial qualifiers and national finals is less than two months. The play-in tournament is on July 20th, which is during the summer holidays, so we have a lot of time to waste. But the remaining two competitions are held after the start of school, and you not only have to attend classes, but also have to take exams and complete more difficult works in a shorter time, which is the biggest test! ”

Looking at the four girls with blank faces, Chu Mingchen then said what he thought was right:

"As the saying goes, one trick is eaten all over the world, I think we should keep the style of all the works in the same way, and study them deeply, and even use the time of the short-list to study the next works in advance. As long as you thoroughly understand the architectural techniques of a genre, you can respond to all changes with the same! ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and raised his index finger and shook it a few times in front of the four girls, and said word by word: "So the Jin school building, absolutely, right, no, okay." ”

Tang Guoguo listened to what he said about taking classes and failing courses, and seemed to be afraid that he would only care about studying and ignoring the competition, so he became more and more nervous to express his loyalty, "If I can really be shortlisted, I will definitely work hard to prepare for the promotion and finals." But she only understood the literal meaning, but she didn't understand the deep meaning, "But I don't quite understand, is there anything to do with insufficient preparation time and not being able to choose the Jin School building?" ”

"That's it! This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you think is okay? Lou Xinyue complained twice, glanced at Chu Mingchen with disdain, and began to find fault, "And!" Why do we have to take exams, don't you need to take exams? ”

The two girls were unconvinced, but they couldn't get to the point.

Fortunately, He Ying conducted a rational analysis.

"It is indeed not easy to find works with the same style and architectural techniques from the architecture of the Jin School, but it is not without a clue." He Ying looked at the several categories written in the notebook, and circled a few words after thinking for a while, "Gu Zhaodi just helped us classify them, if we can maximize the advantages of color painting, wood carving, wooden structure and gardening, then religious architecture is a good choice." ”

"Not bad." Gu Zhaodi also agreed, "Although the Shanxi dwellings represented by the Jin Shang Courtyard are very distinctive, there is nowhere to display the color paintings; There are many murals and colored temples, although they are also part of religious buildings, but the interior decoration is too complex to realize, we only need to choose some suitable ones from religious buildings to restore. ”

"Which ones are appropriate, do you know?"

"This ......"

Faced with Chu Mingchen's question, He Ying and Gu Zhaodi looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

saw this 1.85-meter-tall boy stride directly onto the podium and drew a few circles on the blackboard with chalk:

"If you want to find works from religious buildings, you have to know a few areas of ancient architecture in Shanxi."

Watching Chu Mingchen write the words "north", "central", "southeast" and "south" in the four circles, not only the four girls in the audience were silent in unison, but even Ye Fangyu, who was almost full of tea, was also curious.

She wanted to see what kind of flowers could be said by Chu Mingchen, who was at the end of the crane in the ancient architecture major course.

I saw that he clicked twice on the center of the "northern" circle with chalk, and then drew several small circles in the large circle before he said slowly:

"In the northern part of Shanxi, there are ancient Buddhist buildings such as Datong Yungang Grottoes, Hanging Temple, Ciyun Temple, XZ Wutaishan Temple, Shuozhou Yingxian Wooden Tower, Chongfu Temple, etc., also known as 'Yanmen Buddhist Building Area'."

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to ask questions, and pointed to the circle of "middle":

"The central part of Shanxi is also the center of exchanges and conflicts between the Chinese and grassland peoples, and with the collision and integration of multi-ethnic ideas, a number of religious representative buildings have been produced. Like the well-known Taiyuan Jin Temple, Dou Dafu Temple, Qingxu Hutu Temple, Yangquan Yuxian Zangshan Temple, Jin Intermediate Xiu Sanjieyi Temple Yuanshenlou, as well as Luliang Wenshui Zetian Temple, Shilou Xingdongyuan Dongyue Temple, etc., are all here, forming the central region's 'Bingzhou multi-religious building area'. ”

Speaking of which, Tang Guoguo has been dazzled by all kinds of different building names, as well as the strange board book of Chu Mingchen's big trap and small circle.

But when he heard Chu Mingchen talk about the "Shangdang Gods Construction Area" in the southeast region, Lou Xinyue quickly added the origin of "Jindongnan" as "Shangdang":

"I know this! In the southeast of Jin, it is located on the top of Taihang Mountain, and the sky is the party, so it is called the party in ancient times. ”

"You know a lot." Chu Mingchen took the opportunity to ask, "Then do you know what other prehistoric myths have happened here?" ”

Lou Xinyue's answer was like a stream: "Nuwa makes up for the sky, Jingwei reclamation!" ”

"There is also Yi shooting for nine days, Shennong tastes a hundred herbs!" He Ying also added to the supplement.

"That's not all!" Chu Mingchen proudly stroked the natural curly bangs in front of his forehead, and continued, "There are also myths and stories such as Erxian and Cui Fujun that also originated in Shangdang District, so there are also Changzhi Yandi Temple, Jincheng Erxian Temple, Cui Fujun Temple, Tangdi Temple, etc., and later people named this building area after the gods of Shangdang." ”

He then pointed to the last circle:

"And the last one, the south of Shanxi, also has a great background."

"In the southern area of Jin, Hedong County was set up in the Qin period." Gu Zhaodi's expression was serious, "However, famous archaeologists in my country believe that as early as the time of Yao Shunyu, the capital was built in Hedong. The name of Youyun 'China' began at this time, so it is also likely that Hedong was the first place to be called 'China'. ”

"Therefore, under the influence of this heavy culture, people have formed the worship of the emperor and the queen of heaven, the admiration of the king and the nostalgia for the ancestors, which has given birth to many Taoist palaces and ancestral temples." Chu Mingchen immediately wrote on the blackboard a line of small characters "Hedong Ancestor Worship Building Area", and while drawing small circles, he quickly said their names, "Like Linfen Yao Mausoleum, Shangshan Temple, Dongyue Temple, Yuncheng Shundi Mausoleum, Houtu Temple, Jiwang Temple, etc., are all representative buildings in this area." ”

Looking at the countless small circles in the four large circles, Tang Guoguo opened his mouth wide in shock again: "Then can we just pick a few buildings from inside?" ”

"How can it be that simple?"

Chu Mingchen patted the chalk ash on his hand, looked at the small circle full of blackboards, and said helplessly:

"If you want to restore ancient buildings, it's not enough to know their names and history. Let's also analyze their timber construction techniques and construction techniques. The religious buildings in Shanxi are vast, and they have experienced the maturity period of the Tang Dynasty, the transformation of the Five Dynasties, the perfection period of the Liao and Song dynasties, the inheritance and diversified exploration period of the Jin and Yuan dynasties, and the stereotyped period of the Ming and Qing dynasties with simple structures and decorations, and the style characteristics are completely different. If you find a few ancient buildings that can play to each person's strengths and maintain a consistent style, it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

"Oh......"

Tang Guoguo never dreamed that the number of ancient architectural works of a faction was too large, and it would also become a reason to be abandoned.

However, He Ying will always propose new possibilities in the impossible:

"What if you narrow it down? The wooden tower of the tower building is chosen to show off the wooden structure and wood carving, and there is room for painting and painting. After all, in addition to official buildings, only religious buildings can be painted in the highest form. ”

But before Chu Mingchen refuted this idea, Gu Zhaodi was the first to come out and object:

However, according to the statistics of the "China Ancient Pagoda Overview: Shanxi Volume", there are 657 light pagoda-style buildings in Shanxi, covering many dynasties from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Republic of China. And the shape of the tower, there are a variety of forms such as dense eaves type, pavilion type, covered bowl type and pavilion type, they are distributed in various places in Shanxi, and there may not be detailed historical materials for reference. ”

"So much?" Lou Xinyue was tired of such a discussion for a long time, and she only felt dizzy, "It's just to choose a work, why is it so complicated!" ”
