Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1960: The elegance of the Tang Dynasty
Inside the Jinling Palace, Elizabeth looked at the small building in front of her. She had read many books on Tang culture for many years, and she knew that this was a modern-style building that had gradually emerged in the Tang Dynasty in the past ten years.
In the West, it is also called New Tang style architecture.
It is characterized by the use of large-area glass windows, good lighting, stone pillars on the outside, with some Western-style carvings, and the interior decoration is not too complicated, but simple and elegant.
This new Tang-style architecture is very different from the Tang-style architecture that began to rise 30 years ago and gradually became the main architectural model of the Tang Dynasty in the past 30 years.
After the popularity of cement and steel bars, Datang began to use reinforced concrete to build houses, but at first it was mainly used for official buildings, commercial buildings, etc. The skyscrapers that appeared later were typical of this type of building.
The new buildings of this period have several very distinctive features.
One is that public buildings are generally the main ones, because the new buildings in this period are tall and large, often tens of meters high, even hundreds of meters high, and the floor area is also very large, because such large-scale buildings are generally Commercial office buildings, restaurants, government buildings and other public buildings.
In terms of specific architectural patterns, the halls on the first floor are generally very high, with huge crystal chandeliers hanging, and most of the exterior walls are built with expensive stones such as marble.
This also followed, the first floor often needs large glass windows for lighting, and also requires huge curtains to block light.
Among them, the most typical building should belong to the Imperial Academy in the palace. It is tall and magnificent. The conference hall on the first floor is enough to shock anyone.
In addition, a series of skyscrapers along the Yangtze River Road in Shanghai are mostly representatives of this architectural style.
However, during this period, private residential buildings were not greatly affected. Although cement and steel bars were widely used in materials, they tended to be traditional architectural models for a long time.
It was not until later that the architectural model of private residences such as two-story and three-story buildings gradually appeared.
After continuing to develop, it has formed a new Tang style architectural model with a unique style today, which integrates elements such as elegance, simplicity, brightness and luxury, and is very popular among scholars and scholars.
How can I put it, this architectural style is a low-key luxury.
It is in line with the habit of pretending to be of the Tang Dynasty!
People in the Tang Dynasty pretend to be coercive, especially the literati and elegant scholars in the middle and upper classes. They won't brag about how rich they are, nor how powerful they are. If they really want to do this, it will be vulgar in the eyes of others and not vulgar. It is difficult to integrate into the local upper class of the empire.
Datang people pretend to be forceful, what are they generally pretending to be?
Generally speaking, the word 'Ya' can be used.
What is Ya in the Tang Dynasty?
It is green bamboo tiles, wooden houses and stone steps, preferably the kind that leaks. In the words of the ancients, it is a poor house.
However, this is only an appearance!
The shabby rooms that the people of the Tang Dynasty liked are also green bamboo tiles with stone steps.
However, this bamboo must be Xiangfei bamboo!
If you do something like yellow bamboo, that's vulgar, and you can't watch it.
The tile must also be a blue tile, and it has to be a high-grade celadon tile produced by a few producing areas. The ordinary blue tile produced in an ordinary tile factory looks the same, but in fact, there is no difference in appearance, but it is still the same. vulgar, vulgar intolerable.
There are also wooden houses. You have to use traditional precious woods such as red sandalwood, ebony, and rosewood, or use precious woods produced overseas such as Nanyang teak and Brazilian rosewood. These precious woods may seem precious, but in fact Datang is globally There are so many territories, and the import is very comprehensive, especially the rosewood in Brazil controlled by the Spanish and Portuguese, which is very popular with the Tang people.
However, if you build a wooden house with ordinary wood such as fir and pine, it is vulgar and vulgar!
And the steps, which seem to be ordinary steps, are actually not ordinary steps.
Needless to say, you make a cement step or something, no one calls you vulgar, because the literati are too lazy to pay attention to you.
You make a marble and carve a lot of patterns and so on, it is still vulgar, like a prosperous, literati still ignore you.
You have to use a bluestone slab, and it still can't be a new stone, it has to be an old stone, preferably one that has been washed over time and has wear marks on it.
If there is moss growing on it, then it will be even better, it is elegant!
There are also rockeries, trails, etc. You can't use this stone indiscriminately, even if it looks the same, you can't use it.
For the paving stones, you also have to use lake stones. There is also a special word among literati and scholars, "lake stone trail". What does this lake stone trail mean?
It refers to the path made of stones piled up in Taihu Lake.
If you use a cobblestone road casually, it is vulgar, vulgar!
Wooden house stone steps, green bamboo tiles, this is the elegance respected by the Tang people!
Understated and elegant!
New Tang style buildings generally follow this architectural style. It seems simple, but in fact, the materials used will be very luxurious, but this luxury will not be expressed.
Inadvertently, perhaps the stones on the steps at the door of people's houses were transported from Taihu Lake from a long distance, and they are of great value.
Wooden railings are made of Brazilian rosewood or Nanyang teak and so on.
Even the windows are made of high-strength glass newly developed by Hanyang Glass Company, which is specially produced for the research and development of buildings. Ordinary glass cannot achieve such a large area and keep it firm and strong.
The elegance of Datang people is that you may not be able to do it if you have money, but you can't do it without money.
Although Elizabeth is a Spanish and grew up in Spain, she has been educated in the Tang Dynasty since she was ten years old. She has more than ten tutors dispatched by the Tang Palace Affairs Office.
Although she has not seen or touched many things with her own eyes, she must have seen the text description and the picture album, and has a basic understanding.
No need to ask anyone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She knows very well the West Wind Building where she lives. This New Tang style courtyard has a two-story building and surrounding courtyards. It looks simple, but there are not many 100,000 Tang Yuan simply can't be repaired, and this is only the cost of building materials and decoration materials, and the labor costs are not counted.
However, she did not show any surprise, and she even thought that all this was normal.
This is the Tang Jinling Palace!
Here lives the most powerful man in the world and his family, the Son of Heaven and his Li royal family.
Any level of luxury is not surprising, or even normal.
Elizabeth watched her maids enter and began to clean up the house. She did not go in immediately, but turned her head and asked the female officer of the palace affairs office beside her in a standard Jinling accent: "When can I see Your Majesty?"
