Dong Ce went over and took a look, this shadow wall was one zhang and two feet high, about one zhang and five feet wide, and about two feet thick. The whole body is made of bricks, and it is quite elaborate, consisting of three parts: seat, body, and top, and the seat is the Sumeru seat. It's like the shadow wall of ordinary people, and some of them don't have seats.

The central area of the shadow wall is called the center of the shadow wall, which is made of diagonal square bricks, which look like they are at an angle of 45 degrees. The grinding bricks are very neat, and there is no carving on the simple shadow wall, but obviously Li Gui and others feel that it is not easy to build a house once, and it is still a bad news to do it luxuriously. There are a lot of brick carvings on the shadow wall in front of the door, and there are some auspicious patterns on them. These brick carvings are mainly concentrated in the center and four corners of the center of the shadow wall, and there are also mixed owls and beads at the intersection with the roof—although it is only a wall, the top of the shadow wall wall is the same as the roof, although it is made of bricks, but it is also carved out of bricks, and the roof of the clear water ridge or roll shed ridge is set on it.

In the middle of the heart of the shadow wall, there are four brick plaques, which are carved with the four characters of Fulu Suxi.

Although there are no colorful and bright tiles of later generations, the entire shadow wall is built of bricks, and the patterns are carved on the bricks, but they are delicate and detailed, and have a simple and low-key charm.

In fact, this is not exquisite, people are really exquisite, the gate of the courtyard will take a few steps back, and build a figure eight wall on the left and right of the gate, which is a bit similar to the gate of the government, called the swallow wing shadow wall, the shadow wall.

After looking at the shadow wall, Dong Ce entered the gate.

This gatehouse is also quite exquisite, the roof tiles are used for tube tiles, the roof is a clear water ridge, there are two upward tiles on both sides, called scorpion tail, also called owl tail, Chaotian Wat, there are flower tiles under the scorpion tail. The eaves are located at the head of the pier, and the Bofeng is equipped with Bofeng to protect the wall of the pier, and there are also brick carvings on the Bofeng.

This gatehouse does not have a finch - this thing is a wooden component located between the eaves column and the eaves, which has a certain role in mechanics, but the finch and the three clouds are more of a symbol of official products. Not to mention them, even Dong Ce's level can't reach it, I'm afraid that only the mansions of some powerful people in Jingcheng can be replaced by birds. And the specifications of the Ruyi Gate used here, the gate is located on the eaves pillar, so there is no place for the bird.

The hairpin fastens the lintel to the threshold of the door, and here it is the gate, so four hairpins are used. The exposed part of the hairpin is decorated with a hairpin hat, which is a hexagonal shape with a curve and the word 'Fu' carved on it.

The door panel of the gate is made of old elm, and the old elm here is not the kind of material cut down from the old elm tree that has grown for many years, but refers to the old elm, generally speaking, it refers to the recycled old elm beams and old door panels. An elm tree, even if it has been grown for hundreds of years, as long as it has been cut down in recent years, is still a new elm, and it cannot be called an old elm at all.

Dong Ce knows more about this, because the doors and windows in his mansion and the large beds in the wing rooms are all made of old elm. These old elms don't know where Li Gui came from, and it is estimated that they are the old elm beams of other people's families. The gate is made of old elm, the corners are dark yellow, and the inside is a beautiful dark purple gray, the texture is clear and clear, the planing surface is smooth, and the pattern is very beautiful. Dong Ce touched it, it was smooth, hard and thick.

The door panel made of this kind of wood is not good to paint, and it will cover up the original luster color and texture, which has the meaning of painting snakes. The door panel in front of it is not painted, and in the middle of the door panel, there is also a carved door heart, on which is written the couplet "Loyal to the family for a long time, poetry and books for a long time". The door is equipped with a cymbal in the middle for knocking, and under the door is a door guard.

The brick carving on the head of the Ruyi door is very exquisite, and the head of the door is the railing and the pillar in turn, the ice plate eaves, the owl mix, the beads, the hanging plate these parts.

In fact, a considerable attraction in front of the door is the door pier, which refers to the part of the door sleeper stone located outside the door, and the door sleeper stone has a groove in the middle to support the door frame, and the inner part of the door has a sea nest for inserting the door shaft, that is, the lower end of the door shaft, and the connecting wing fixed on the middle sill together to fix the door shaft and facilitate the opening and closing of the door.

The door pier usually has two kinds of box-shaped and drum-shaped that is, drum-holding stones, usually composed of Sumeru, drum-hugging or box-shaped, and several parts of the beast's kiss or lion, according to the shape of the gatehouse, the shape of the gate pier is also different.

The box shape is actually square, and the drum stone is actually round.

In this era, whether it is square or round is particular, the square pier is mostly used by civil officials, and the round pier is mostly used by military attachés. The source, Dong Ce is not very clear, maybe those craftsmen will know.

In this regard, the particular Chinese people will naturally not make low-level mistakes, Dong Ce took a look, there is a drum stone at the door of this house, and it seems that it is for a member of the military general system. The drum stone is about three feet high, and the following is the Sumeru seat, and the whole Sumeru seat is the shape of auspicious clouds, and the lotus leaves in the water are carved on it, which means 'and concentric', representing the happiness of the husband and wife, and it is very auspicious.

The hug drum is an upright drum with lotus flowers carved on the surface and sides of the drum, and between the lotus flowers, there are various auspicious patterns. There is a bat with a pattern in the eye of a copper coin, which is called blessing in front of the eyes; There is a group of patterns carved with ears of wheat, bottles, and quails, which means that the year is safe; There are also bats, deer, and wild beasts, which mean Fu Lu Shou; There are also five lions of different shapes playing at play, which means that the five generations live together.

The whole door sleeper stone is carved from a whole stone, and the door pier is only a part of it, which shows the craftsmanship.

I'm afraid that this one door pillow stone will cost a lot of money.

When you enter the gate, you will be greeted by a shadow wall, and this shadow wall will take the inner shadow wall, not for anything else, purely for the sake of good looks, because if there is no shadow wall here, what you will see when you enter the gate is also the gable of the east wing, and you will not peek into the situation of the inner courtyard.

This inner shadow wall is much smaller than the outer one, only one zhang wide and eight feet high, and it is not an independent shadow wall, but is inlaid on the gable of the top of the east wing. There is also a courtyard with an independent shadow wall here, but the courtyard has to be big, at least after entering the gate, this space has to be eight feet to a zhang deeper than the current one, otherwise it will feel cramped and uncomfortable.

On the inner shadow wall, there are brick carvings carved with pine and bamboo, which is quite elegant.

Entering the gatehouse, the space in front of the inner shadow wall is the front yard, which is surrounded by the east wall and the west wall, the street gate on the south side, the inverted seat room, the hanging flower gate on the north side and the verandah. The front yard is not very large, which is equivalent to about a quarter of the size of the back house.

Turn left and you will see the inverted room. The inverted house is the southernmost row of houses in the whole courtyard, and its eaves wall is facing the outside, so it generally does not open windows to the south. Therefore, the doors and windows are facing north, and the lighting is very bad. Generally speaking, the easternmost part of the school is a private school, and the westernmost part is a toilet, and the houses in between are generally occupied by servants.

There is also a screen door on the left and right sides of the shadow wall after entering the gate, which leads to the small courtyard of the "juku" to the east and the outer courtyard with an inverted seat to the west. However, if a screen door is set up here, it will be purely redundant, or that sentence, there is not so much space.

After taking a look at the front yard, he walked towards the Hanging Flower Gate. This hanging flower gate, also known as the second gate, is opened on the partition wall between the inner and outer courtyards, and its position is located on the central axis of the courtyard due south and north. The female dependents of large families, the so-called "the door does not go out, the second door does not step", refers to not stepping out of the flower gate.

The outer eaves pillar of the pendulum gate is not erected from the ground, but hangs on the horizontal wood of the middle pillar, it is a pendulum pillar, and there is a pendulum bead at the lower end of the pendulum column, which is painted in the form of petals, so it is called the pendulum gate. It is a hall and a roll type, that is, the outside of the door is the clear water ridge type, and the door is the roll shed type. The door of the hanging flower, there are two doors, one in the position of the central pillar, this door opens during the day and closes at night; The other is the screen door, which is usually closed at the position of the inner eaves column, which plays the role of isolating the sight of the inner courtyard.

The pendulum gate enters the inner courtyard, not through the screen door, but after entering the gate equivalent to the first one, it enters through the inner eaves pillars and the middle pillar on both sides of the pendulum gate, connects with the hand-copying verandah, and enters the inner courtyard through the copy-hand verandah.

When I entered the inner courtyard, it was a fairly spacious space, and the space enclosed by the surrounding houses was about two feet and three feet long from north to south, and about one and five feet wide from east to west. In front of the wing house on the west side, a small open space was opened, surrounded by a circle of bricks, and a sapling was planted in it.

Dong Ce glanced at it, it was much smaller than his own courtyard, that is, only a quarter of the size, and there was no porch at the door of the main room. The height, spaciousness, and size of the house are all two levels lower.

The main house is three rooms, tall and spacious, sitting north and facing south, and is the residence of the head of the family. The bright room of the main house, that is, the middle one is called the hall house, also known as the middle hall, and the main room of the three-bay hall house is flanked by bedrooms and study rooms, as the main house, the biggest advantage in addition to the large space and luxurious decoration should be that the sun can shine into the house in winter, so it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Dong Ce went in and took a look, the depth of this house is quite good, almost three and a half meters wide from east to west, nearly seven meters deep from north to south, and the area is very large. Usually there is a table of eight immortals in the middle of the bright room, with two chairs on either side of the table, and a painting and two banners hanging on the wall, or four paintings in the central hall. But there's nothing in it at this point. On both sides of the courtyard, there are east and west wings, generally speaking, this is the housing of the younger generations, and the east and west are three rooms. However, although there are the same number of rooms, the status is different. The man is left and the woman is right, the man is inferior to the woman, the man is inferior to the woman, the man is inferior to the martial arts, and if you stand in front of the main house, it is exactly the left hand side is the east, and the right hand side is the west. It is a matter of course, the east wing is respected, and the west wing is humble. Generally speaking, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law live in the east wing, because there is a slight difference in the height of the east and west wings in the building, take here as an example, the east wing is two inches higher than the west wing. The difference is too subtle to be seen with the naked eye, but it's real.
