118. New mansion
[Congratulations, you have obtained a Soviet-style garden mansion worth 160 million yuan.]
It was the class reunion again that morning. After getting up, Jin Xiao turned on the system and signed in on a daily basis.
This system is pretty good, but it's pretty crap.
Fortunately, it gives Jin Xiao two million yuan in funds every day, but the pitfall is here. He signs in every day and gets almost two million yuan. Day after day, there is almost no change. Over time, Jin Xiao becomes a little numb. In addition to turning on the system at regular intervals and fixed points every day for signing in, he has completely given up on the system.
However, who would have thought that a system with a bonus of two million a day after day suddenly gave Jin Xiao a different reward on the day of a class reunion.
The 160 million-dollar Su-style garden mansion is worth more expensive than the peninsula city-state where he lives now.
Moreover, everyone knows that Su-style gardens are a treasure in ancient Chinese architecture.
Su-style gardens, also known as Su-style classical gardens, are the general name of all Chinese classical gardens in Suzhou.
Gusu is known as the "city of gardens". Private gardens in the territory were built in the 6th century BC. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 170 gardens inside and outside the city, and more than 50 existing ones. In 1997, the Humble Administrator's Garden, Liuyuan, Netshi Garden and Huanxiu Villa among the classical gardens of Gusu were listed on the World Cultural Heritage List; in 2000, Canglang Pavilion, Lion Forest, Coupling Garden, Yipu and Tuisi Garden were also listed as World Cultural Heritage Sites as expansion projects of Gusu classical gardens.
Gusu classical gardens and houses are integrated, enjoyable, travelable, and liveable. The formation of this architectural form is a creation in which humans are attached to nature, pursue harmonious coexistence with nature, beautify and improve their living environment in cities with dense populations and lack of natural scenery. The Chinese philosophy, history, and humanistic customs contained in Gusu classical gardens are a symbol and concentration of Jiangnan's humanistic and historical traditions and local customs, showing the essence of Chinese culture, and have a unique historical status and great artistic value in the history of world gardening.
The classical gardens of Gusu, represented by Humble Administrator's Garden and Liuyuan, are known as "recreating the world within a short distance", and are the leader and pride of Chinese garden culture.
Su-style gardens have always been famous for "changing scenery and recreating the universe within a short distance."
According to local chronicles, the large and small gardens in Gusu city have their own artistic characteristics in layout, structure and style. They were born in the heyday of Gusu classical gardens, the Humble Administrator's Garden, Liuyuan, Netshi Garden and Huanxiu Villa, which fully reflect the national characteristics and level of Chinese gardening art. They have complete architectural types and are preserved intact. These four gardens do not cover a large area, but they cleverly use various gardening art techniques and techniques to combine pavilions, towers, springs, stones, flowers and trees to simulate natural scenery, creating an ideal space of "urban mountains and forests" and "living in the downtown city and close to nature".
They systematically and comprehensively display the layout, structure, shape, style, color, decoration, furniture, furnishings and other aspects of Gusu classical garden buildings. They are representative works of traditional folk buildings in Jiangnan during the Ming and Qing dynasties. They reflect the high level of residential civilization in Jiangnan during this period. They have influenced the architectural style of the entire Jiangnan city, and drove the design, conception, layout, aesthetics and construction technology of folk buildings to move closer to it, reflecting the scientific and technological level and artistic achievements of urban construction at that time.
It has reached a historical height in beautifying the living environment, integrating architectural beauty, natural beauty, and humanistic beauty, and has an irreplaceable position in the history of the development of garden art in China and even the world.
The gardening art of China has a profound historical origin with the literature and painting art of China. It is especially influenced by the freehand landscape paintings of literati in the Tang and Song dynasties. It is a model of freehand landscape simulation of literati. During its development, Chinese gardens have formed two major series, including royal gardens and private gardens. The former is concentrated in the capital area, while the latter is represented by Gusu.
Due to the differences in politics, economy, cultural status, nature, and geographical conditions, there are obvious differences in scale, layout, size, style, color, etc., the royal garden is grand, rigorous, grand and beautiful, while the classical garden of Gusu is small, free, exquisite, elegant, and has a long view of the writing.
Since the latter pays more attention to the harmonious unity of culture and art, it developed to the late royal gardens, and in terms of artistic conception, creative ideas, architectural techniques, and humanistic content, it also absorbed a lot of the "freehand painting" techniques of private gardens.
The gardeners in Gusu use unique gardening techniques to stack mountains and water, plant flowers and trees, configure garden buildings in a limited space, and use a large number of plaques, couplets, calligraphy and paintings, carvings, steles, furniture and various ornaments to reflect ancient philosophical concepts, cultural consciousness and aesthetic tastes, thus forming poetic and picturesque freehand landscape gardens, allowing people to "get the pleasure of mountains and rivers without leaving the city, and live in the bustling city and get the fun of forests and springs", and reaching the artistic state of "although it is made by people, it is like the sky is blooming."
Gardens in all dynasties have their own natural, historical, cultural and artistic characteristics.
For more than a thousand years from the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, Ming and Qing dynasties, Gusu, as a famous historical and cultural city in China, still preserves many unique private gardens. All these classical gardens have cleverly used contrast, contrast, contrast, landscape, scale transformation, layering and seeing the big in the small, and other gardening art techniques and techniques such as few to defeat many, combining pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, springs, stones, flowers, and wood to create a harmonious living environment in the city. It constitutes the overall characteristics of Gusu classical gardens.
Of course, this is a good statement, but what about the actual statement? It is probably due to the inconvenience of transportation technology in ancient times.
Due to inconvenient transportation, most people cannot indulge in mountains and rivers, so many rich people can only move mountains and rivers into the garden. These rich people include merchants and literati. Most of the merchants in ancient times were unable to get on the table, but literati can. Literati incorporated mountains and rivers into the garden, and combined their literary cultivation with the scenery of mountains and rivers, which created the so-called Su-style garden.
The history of classical gardens in Gusu has lasted for about 2,000 years and has a unique historical status and value in the history of world gardening. It uses its superb artistic techniques of freehand landscapes, which contain strong Chinese traditional ideas and cultural connotations, and displays the gardening art model of oriental civilization. Gusu classical gardens are "urban forests" full of natural interest in the city. As soon as people living in downtown enter the garden, they can enjoy the "health of mountains, rivers, forests and springs" of nature. In this concentrated "nature", "a spoonful of water, a punch to mountains", the changes in the morning of the four seasons in the garden, the withering and flourishing of plants and trees in spring and autumn, and the seasonal changes of mountains, rivers, flowers and trees, so that people can "get the joy of mountains and forests without leaving the city, and live in the downtown city and have the joy of forests and springs."
Not only gardens, but even Su-style homes are very particular.
Suzuo mahogany is deeply influenced by literati ideas. It reflects a strong literary atmosphere in the selection of materials, craftsmanship, shape and charm of furniture. The material emphasizes natural beauty, reflects the natural texture of wood texture, carvings give the finishing touch, and attaches great importance to the smooth and natural lines.
Suzuo mahogany furniture has always maintained a clear and elegant temperament in its overall style, forming the characteristics of light, handsome and simple style.
Suzhou furniture and the design style of Gusu gardens complement each other and are natural. However, almost all the hardwood furniture furnished in Gusu gardens are Qing styles, as if there has never been Ming style furniture here. Qing style furniture replaced Ming style after it became popular. Not only Gusu household appliances, but garden decoration is no exception. In the past, Gusu had a lot of hardwood furniture, but later it was demolished with a large amount of materials. Because the Ming style furniture was simple and untextured, it was convenient to remodel other tools.
The Qing style carving is complex and difficult to disassemble and produce materials, so the Qing style of the preserved hardwood furniture is more Qing style than Ming style.
When hardwood furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties flourished, it was also the time when Gusu gardens were in full swing. The need for decoration of garden buildings and the purpose of secluded life in the gardens played a direct role in the production and artistic style of hardwood furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The most important materials used in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the hardwood furniture used in Ming and Qing dynasties, was made of fine texture and loved by the aid and literati and elegant guests at that time. In this way, the Ming and Qing furniture produced in Gusu made full use of the natural attributes of the material and integrated more into the cultural atmosphere of that era.
After the early Qing Dynasty, due to the increasingly rare wood, the furniture materials were replaced by rosewood, rosewood, etc. from Nanyang.
Among the furniture in Gusu gardens, "Suzu Furniture" is typical, it is a leader in traditional furniture and a rare sketch in garden decorative art. It plays an important role in the history of furniture in our country. Among the furniture restored Gusu gardens, there are almost Qingyishui Qing-style furniture, which is eye-catching. However, the Qing Dynasty furniture made in Gusu, while following the traditional practices, is influenced by the times, and has also aggravated the fine carving and decorative techniques, making the furniture more refined, exquisite, complex lines, and exquisite carving.
On the other hand, since the main gardener strives to be "high" and "elegant", while further integrating "poetic and painting" into the garden, they also use plays to express emotions and have good intentions for daily life equipment.
Therefore, the Qing-style furniture in Gusu Garden does not pursue luxury like the high-ranking officials and nobles, but is more elegant and simple.
The mansion that Jin Xiao got this time was given to him directly by the system. Although it is located in Lin'an, the style is Su-style.
He checked the Internet and found not only the information about this house, but also related videos.
He couldn't wait to open the video and started watching it.
In the video, the grandma follows the camera and constantly introduces information about the mansion.
First, the entrance door is the entrance door. The entrance door faces north and south. There is also a pair of stone lions and a set of red flower slabs on both sides.
"The three-person-high Ruyi Gate is one piece higher than the black tiles and pink walls on both sides, and the one-foot-high platform base is a three-stage brick carving with chicken ridges at both ends."
After entering the house, they are all private houses.
What greets people are the pleasant fake stones and green plants on both sides. The elegant and upright Five-needle pine, and the picturesque Arhat Populus, "I can't raise this type in less than three or five years."
Since it is a "landscape-style mansion", gardens must be the highlight.
Before entering the hall, come and appreciate the unique features of the courtyard.
Walking into the gate is a private courtyard. Whether it is the flowered windows with crabapple patterns, the moon-shaped arches, or the hexagonal pavilion hidden deep in the water, they all restore the appearance of classical Gusu gardens. These crafts have been passed down for thousands of years.
The lake in the garden is surrounded by lush trees. It is so comfortable to sit in a small pavilion by the lake, or to sit in the window at home and forget how comfortable it is.
Gardens, without flowers and trees, what kind of garden is it?
There are more than 130 green plants in the entire garden, and the four seasons are like living in their own house. "There are cherry blossoms in spring and maples in autumn, and lotus flowers in summer and plums in winter."
From midsummer to the cold winter, the flowering periods intertwine, and different flowers will bloom. The types and combinations should be given priority, the time for planting should be given, and the location for planting should be given priority.
The beauty of Chinese gardens lies in the "land" created by every inch of green plants. The green plants in the entire yard change with the four seasons, blooming different flowers. There are four scenery to enjoy in the waterscape garden in all seasons! In addition to being pleasing to the eye, the garden also has many functions, such as tea tasting, flower viewing, fish watching, Tai Chi, sword dancing, etc. In order for the koi at home to grow up happily and healthily, three intelligent water purifiers are also equipped.
The entrance hall is made of double-sided embroidery with flowers blooming on the whole side, and a whole circle of colorful vermilion glass frames are embedded, which is very expensive.
Bypassing the screen, it is a side hall, which is still very antique. Although several paintings hanging on the wall are very eye-catching, the most precious one is the Jiulong offering treasure in the shape of Ruyi in the middle of the painting. This treasure has a great background and was obtained through auction in the 1980s. The material is small-leaf red sandalwood that is priced by grams. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and heavy, which makes people feel heartbroken.
The living room is even more amazing. The background wall is made of golden nanmu, which is expensive. The furniture in the entire living room is customized made of mahogany, and the carvings on each piece of furniture are lifelike. With the super large crystal chandeliers, the entire home is super high-end, atmospheric and classy, and can only be summarized by wealth.
The living room of the living room is also very luxurious. The only difference between it and ordinary people is that furniture that is not mahogany cannot enter the door. The TV wall is also made of a whole piece of jade. The mahogany furniture in the entire home is estimated to exceed 200 tons.
Although it is a retro Gusu garden house, how can we not arrange modern entertainment facilities? Bar, swimming pool, sauna, billiards, everything you want, and there is also a huge swimming pool of 300 square meters. The so-called luxury house is so simple and boring.
When Jin Xiao saw the mansion in the video, he was amazed by the scenery and home in the mansion.
Especially the various mahogany home furnishings inside, especially the mahogany home furnishings with a large wall, you can feel the luxury atmosphere on it even if you just take a look.
I just don’t know that the “160 million” purchase price does not include those homes. It is probably okay for ordinary homes, but it is probably not a problem for the seven-meter-long antique shelf. There are ornaments like the jade pillars, which are several million or tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars per piece. The owner of the household should be transported away. Thinking of this, Jin Xiao took out the purchase contract from the system, found the owner of the household phone number, thought about it, and dialed it.
Chapter completed!
