Idle, sit and lie down,
Although the clothes are rough and light, they feel spotless;
Troubled, troubled,
Although the brocade is thick and tasteful, I also feel all kinds of bitterness.
- "The Little Window"
In the past, life was very slow, the days of the past were elegant, and in modern society, everyone was in a hurry, or running for materials, or running for fame and fortune, or running for school, and the time that belonged to themselves, in addition to eating and sleeping, was like surviving in the cracks, dying.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to buy a body of idleness, for the ancients who were idle and idle, sitting and lying down at will, modern people are full of yearning and desire.
In the first half of life, give yourself to the outside world, the second half of your life, and give yourself back to yourself, which is the ideal of most people's lives, and when you are old, finding a yard to quit the jianghu is also the main way for most people to pursue inward.
Yu Dafu wrote in "Autumn in the Old Capital", "When you get up in the morning, make a bowl of strong tea, and sit down in the courtyard, you can see the very tall turquoise sky and hear the flying sound of the pigeons under the blue sky." ”
For a long time, the seat has played an important role in the courtyard, a suitable seat, adding to the leisure.
The choice of seating should match the style of the courtyard, for Chinese courtyards, the common sitting has the following five types.
Circle chair
"The courtyard is a little deep, the willows are piled with smoke, and the curtains are heavy."
The most impressive impression of the Chinese courtyard is that it is quiet and elegant, which can be seen from the layout of the courtyard.
Several mountain stones are clustered in front of and behind, the stones are wrapped in fine moss, and the bamboo shadows on the white walls are delicate, and the swaying hanging lights add to the natural hazy Zen...
The shape of the circle chair is upper circle below, outer circle and inner square, open and inclusive, containing dry, with a certain philosophical thought, is undoubtedly the most suitable furniture for freedom-loving literati in the courtyard.
In my spare time, a circle chair is placed under the tree in the courtyard, listening to the leaves, admiring the scenery in the courtyard, letting the thoughts run wild, and the breeze is full of sleeves.
Embroidery piers
The embroidery pier is used in the living space of the literati and represents the "soft" side.
The charm of the embroidery pier is not only in the beauty of the shape and the complexity of the craftsmanship, but also in the femininity it exudes itself, which is different from other square and majestic "male power" seats, but is full of women's softness and grace.
Small and exquisite embroidery piers, can be placed at will where they are used.
In the Chinese courtyard, in the spring, placed under the flowers and trees, enjoy the colorful fall; in the summer, placed in front of the court, listen to the cicadas to cool off; in the autumn, placed in the courtyard, watch the blue birds fly by; in winter, placed in the corner of the wall, basking in the warm sun in winter.
Official hat chair
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is called the "chair of the literati", and it is the official hat chair.
The official hat chair is the most "official" in the seat, using the shape of the Song Dynasty official hat, and its cultural connotation is naturally related to the official culture of the Song Dynasty.
The official hat chair is divided into the Nanguan hat chair and the four-headed official hat chair, and the chairs of this shape in the southern region are mostly headless, also known as the Nanguan hat chair, and later, the Nanguan hat chair slowly derived the representative culture of "hermit" and "great Confucianism".
In the northern region, most of them are "Beijing officials", at the foot of Tianzi, the chance of promotion is higher, the oil and water are more sufficient, and because of the harmonic sound of "four heads" and "Shi out of the head", so the four heads are used, called the four heads of the hat chair.
Official hat chair, simple and smooth lines, simple and generous shape, dignified and elegant color, at first glance, it is not stunning, but when you look at it again, you will find that it is more and more able to withstand the meaning of watching.
At present, the official hat chair is still sought after by the Chinese people.
In the Chinese courtyard, a government hat and chair, reading and writing, chanting and painting, it seems that vaguely, through the long river of time, coincided with the elegant life of the literati at that time, and also found the understanding and attitude of the ancients to life.
Cross
The same is the literati, some like to pursue fame and fortune, some like to add incense with red sleeves, and some like to hide in the mountains.
The free-spirited literati, the pursuit of elegance but not demanding the extreme, a small courtyard, put their favorite flowers and trees all in, it looks messy, but it is the freedom that the heart pursues.
For the kuangda yashi, there is no need for "tall" chairs such as circle chairs and official hat chairs to bind their bodies, nor do they need to embroider such soft chairs to soften the body and mind, a few small ones, can move freely, and it is enough to take the hand.
A cross, sitting idly in the courtyard, time is slow, the years are shallow, spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind and flowers, rain and snow, nothing in the heart, is a good season in life.
rocking chair
There is a kind of seat, coziness is its label, time flows by its side, especially slowly, it is a rocking chair.
A rocking chair, placed in front of the court, spoiled and not alarmed, watching the flowers blossom and fall in front of the court, to stay unintentional, looking at the clouds in the sky, a kind of comfort, since then, a kind of leisure, comfortable heart.
Thinking of that song, the most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you... Along the way, I collected bits and pieces of laughter, left it for later, sat in a rocking chair, and slowly shook...
Life is a sea of seas, but a hundred years, but may your future be worthy of the rest of your life.
