The apron is also not pasted with checkered brocade, and the center of the screen on the back of the screen is engraved with bamboo scores and bamboo poems made by famous artists in the Tang Dynasty. d-m

He Ruihui was already a very rare treasure, and he circled around for two or three times, and his mouth let out bursts of surprise and sighs, and he made a fuss, and sighed, as if it was late. Xie Sheng obviously saw too much of his performance, but he just watched with a smile and didn't speak.

After a long while, He Ruihui stood up and shook his head, he suddenly covered his face and said in a muffled voice: "Uncle Shi, the little nephew will leave here, if you look at it again, I am afraid that the little nephew will want to stay here tonight." ”

What he said was interesting, and it was also a true temperament, Xie Sheng knew that he couldn't move his steps when he saw famous books, famous books, ancient books, and rare books, and he didn't blame him, so he laughed, waved his hand and said, "Go to rest, go to rest." ”

He Ruihui bowed, and then really covered his face and went out. If someone else did this, it would be rude, but his relationship with Xie Sheng was there, and it was even closer to him.

With Xie Sheng's status, he naturally wouldn't give it away, but just served tea.

He Ruihui came out of this invitation mountain pavilion, a cold wind blew on his face, and the heat in the house suddenly disappeared without a trace, only to feel that his head was clear for a while, his cheeks were cold, but his eyes became clear.

He stood behind the railing around the Invitation Mountain Pavilion and watched the scenery for a while before shaking his head and turning to go down.

My heart is full of reluctance.

There are very few high-rise buildings in ancient times, really very few, except for the kind of pagoda type of buildings, other large pavilions, rarely more than five floors.

It has to do with the way it is built.

Western ancient architecture is a masonry system, generally with masonry walls as load-bearing parts, the wall is thin and thick, the higher the wall, the more obvious the contrast between the upper and lower thicknesses, between the two walls lay a number of layers of wooden beams, the beam is laid with a floor, the roof is a truss structure, the truss is a kind of tripod, and the roof tiles are paved. The Chinese wooden building is load-bearing with wooden columns, mostly single-storey, and the roof is overlifted layer by layer with lifting beams, and the overhang is short. The wall is an earthen wall or a brick wall, which only serves as a shield.

When it comes to building high-rise buildings, you will find that the development potential of Western architecture is greater, while the third floor of Chinese architecture is the limit. Of course, such as the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, the Big and Small Wild Goose Pagoda, etc., can build many layers, but this is a cylindrical pagoda, which is no longer suitable for living. And the area is also small, so it cannot be regarded as a large pavilion.

The ancient style of the building of the national dynasty, the space is smaller the higher it goes, and the West is just the opposite, the ground floor is the narrowest and darkest, and people live as much as possible, which is determined by the building structure, and the Chinese beam lifting result, in order to be stable, must shrink upward, while the wall in the West is load-bearing, the lower part of the wall is thicker, and the thinner the upper. The difference in the size of the space on the first floor is so big, so the Chinese people like to live on the first floor, which is called "down-to-earth", while the Westerners leave the narrow first floor to the slaves, and each layer of wooden beams in the Western building can play the role of horizontal stability of the walls on both sides. Because the eaves of the top floor of Chinese buildings are too small to cover the whole building, each floor must have waist eaves to form a heavy eaves. Whether it is a single storey or a multi-storey, the common building shape is heavy eaves in China, while the wall façade is the main façade in the West.

All in all, since the West is because of the load-bearing wall, it is very convenient to build a tall building, which is nothing more than increasing the height and thickness of the wall. In the national dynasty, wooden pillars were load-bearing, and if you wanted to build a tall building, you first had to have a large enough and thick enough wood as a pillar - but the problem was that the stones and bricks for building the wall were easy to find, and the big wood was not easy to find.

As the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing City has limited high-rise buildings.

But it is also strange to say that although ancient Chinese architecture is not advantageous in the construction of high-rise buildings compared to the West, the tallest high-rise buildings in the ancient world are in China.

It can be seen that the architectural skills of the dynasty are really at the peak.

These two buildings, one for the Ming Hall and the other for the Heaven, were built in the period of the Later Wu Dynasty and are the pinnacle masterpieces of the Tang Dynasty's architectural technology.

The so-called Ming Hall, that is, "the hall of Ming orthodoxy", is the "Temple of the Son of Heaven", and there is a way that "the king built the Ming Hall and Piyong, so the inheritance of heaven and line is also, the sky is called Ming, so the fate is called the Ming Hall", "the Son of Heaven makes the Ming Hall, so the gods, the heaven and the earth, the four times, out of the edification, the virtue, the Tao, the ability, the praise and the doer". The main significance of Mingtang is to use divine power to govern and promote the divine authority of kings. Generally, the Ming Hall is built in the south of the city, that is, the so-called "palace of the government, in the yang of the country". Although the Ming Hall has existed in ancient times, the shape and scale of the construction of each dynasty are not the same, and there is no completely unified style. The Ming Hall of the Eastern Han Dynasty is "the upper circle and the lower part, eight windows and four mo, nine rooms and twelve halls". Later, Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty continued to use it after repair.

Wu Zetian built the Ming Hall, 294 feet high, 300 feet square. Where three layers, the lower layer of the law of four, each with the color of the square, the middle layer of the law of 12 Chen, the upper for the round cover, the nine dragons hold it. The upper layer of the twenty-four gas, also for the round cover, with wood as the tile, sandwiched lacquer, on the iron phoenix, one zhang high, decorated with gold. There are ten giant trees around, up and down through, 栭, 栌, 橕, borrowed as this. Under the iron canal, it is the image of Biyong, and it is called the Vientiane Shrine.

Mingtang is magnificent, magnificent, towering and towering, with the atmosphere of swallowing the sky and spitting out the earth, all-encompassing.

The appearance of three layers, can be climbed, the bottom floor is square, dignified as a seal; The middle floor is 12 deformed, covered with a round cover, and there are nine dragons on it; The top layer is twenty-four deformed, covered with a dome and a tip, and it is decorated with a golden treasure phoenix; The interior is a multi-layer composite, with a huge column, which runs through the top and bottom, and the diameter is as thick as ten people hugging each other.

With such a huge splendor, how big and high is this Ming Hall?

There is no doubt that the history is 300 feet high, but the ruler is a Tang ruler, and one foot in the Tang Dynasty is about 30.2 centimeters.

The height of the hall is 86.7 meters, the side length is 90.6 meters, and the area has reached more than 8,200 square meters!

How huge, how brilliant, how magnificent, how majestic!

Nowadays, the three major halls of Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe in the Forbidden City are not as big as this one Ming Hall! Plus a temple in front of the temple seems to be a lot worse, plus a temple of grace may be enough.

This is undoubtedly the pinnacle of ancient Chinese architectural history, just as Li Baibao once wrote in "Mingtang Fu" when he visited Luoyang in his early years: "Prosperous, beautiful!" Emperor, Tang Zai! ”

But this is not the biggest, the biggest is the heaven that was later built behind the Ming Hall.

The construction of this paradise is mainly used to place a big Buddha, "Old Tang Dynasty Book Zetian Empress Benji" said: "Huaiyi is a big statue, and its little finger still accommodates dozens of people." From the north of the Ming Hall to the fifth level of heaven, to the third level looks down on the Ming Hall. ”

In other words, Heaven is much higher than the Ming Hall, and on the third floor, you can overlook the panoramic view of the Ming Hall.

"The beginning of the construction of the hall, destroyed by the wind, more constructed, 10,000 people per day, harvesting wood and rivers, in a few years, the cost of trillions, the treasury is exhausted."

It can also be seen from this that the magnificence of this project is far greater than that of the Ming Hall, and its third floor is 86.7 meters higher than the Ming Hall, and if the height of each of the five floors is the same, then its total height should be close to 150 meters!

You know, this is in the Tang Dynasty! In the Tang Dynasty without concrete, without steel bars, without modern materials, with modern technology! The craftsmen just used pillars and beams and mortise and tenon joints to connect them to each other to create such a paradise on earth.

This is the real and well-deserved Tower of Babel!

Due to the limitations of ancient Chinese architecture in terms of architectural style, the height of the building was greatly limited by the columns, and the reason why the Ming Hall was able to build so huge was because of a huge column.

There are ten giant trees around, up and down.

What is the circumference of ten? The ten circumferences here do not refer to the diameter, but to the circumference, that is to say, the circumference is as big as ten adult men, and the length of a man's hug is actually his arm span. As we all know, the arm span of the yellow race is almost the same as the height, so to put it bluntly, ten circumferences are the sum of the length of ten adult men in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was rich, and the people were relatively wealthy, with good nutrition and taller height. If you are a little shorter, even if one person is one meter six or five tall, ten people will be counted as sixteen.5 meters.

The circumference is 16.5 meters, so the diameter of this giant pillar is more than 5 meters!

A giant pillar with a diameter of more than five meters and a height of more than eighty meters!

Only such a thick giant pillar can support such a tall building. I really don't know where these pillars came from. What kind of giant trees do you need to have this giant pillar?

But as the saying goes, "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", these two brothers were very sad, and they were first burned by Xue Huaiyi. Later, after it was rebuilt, it was burned down by the rebels in the Anshi Rebellion.

In terms of wealth, the Ming Dynasty is definitely better than the Tang Dynasty, but that is the people, and if you really want to say that the power in the hands of the imperial court, the visible national power that can be grasped and felt in the hands - taxes, manpower that can be mobilized, troops, etc. - that is much worse than the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, it takes a huge wooden building to build such a huge building, and I don't know if I can find it now. Anyway, since the Tang Dynasty, such a giant building has never appeared.

So much so that the Invitation Mountain Pavilion, which is only four or five feet high, can be ranked on the top of the row in Beijing.

If you are not picky, this is a good place to view the scenery, He Ruihui once came here during the day, at a glance, the entire Beicheng at a glance, when one day the feeling of stepping on the Beijing city under your feet.

In addition to those few pagodas, there are very few large pavilions in the entire capital that are higher than this retreat, and I am afraid that there are only a few in the mansions of a few princes. Of course, this can't be counted in the Forbidden City - not to mention that the Jingshan, the Imperial Garden, and even the corner towers at the four corners of the palace city are much higher than this.

In fact, generally speaking, in the capital, it is a bit dangerous to build high-rise buildings - when the emperor climbs high and looks into the distance, he will inevitably see your pavilion, your house. If you are interested, ask about it, whose house is this? If the relationship between the left and right and you is good, if the relationship is average or simply has some grudges, add oil and vinegar to say a few words, then you will be unlucky!

Especially those who are so suspicious today, they must think: How rich are you to build such a high pavilion and such a big house? Is the court enough for you to spend? Where did you get that money from?

In this way, my impression of you has deteriorated, and I can't say when I will have a reason to clean you up in the future.

And if the building is too high and is seen outside, some rumors will have to spread if you can't say it, and your reputation will be bad.

But Xie Sheng doesn't have to worry about this, when Li Guang built this house, he had already thought of this, so the courtyard wall was built extremely high, and it was not easy to see it on the street outside.

It is worth mentioning that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, in many places, especially in coastal ports such as Guangzhou, the walls of large families were very high - mainly to prevent pirates and thieves. It is also very common to be three or five zhang high, and the five-zhang high courtyard wall of Xie Sheng's house is not very conspicuous, and Beijing City is much more than this high-ranking family.

After all, this world is not peaceful.

And even if the emperor ascended to see it, even if someone took the opportunity to find trouble, he was not afraid, anyway, this house was given by the emperor, Li Guangjian's, and it has nothing to do with him.

Speaking of which, Xie Sheng is really good, thank you Li Guang.

Even if someone else's house has such a large ground and has opened such a large pond, it may not attract living water, after all, the drought in the north has been more than a year, where to get water? But opposite the Xie Mansion is Shichahai, when Li Guangli eunuch was built, it was someone who dug a secret passage from the depths of the ground, leading straight to Shichahai, and led the Shichahai Sea over.

Thanks to this convenience, there is this amazing garden.

He Ruihui glanced back at the retreat and couldn't help but take a breath, although it was not the first time to come, but every time he stood here, He Ruihui always felt a little strange in his heart. or shock, or envy, or expectation.

And every time he came here and left, he strengthened some of his beliefs, such as - he must be a good student and an official, and he will not stop all the time, and seize all the opportunities to climb up. One day, you can also live in the second grade, and you can also have such an elegant residence! …………
