Editing "Yingna Riverside", the car crossed the small isolated mountain of the Zhuang River and visited the Qiandechang compound.
This entire representative Liaoning residential building was built by the Manchus and incorporates many Han architectural cultural customs, such as the use of wadang.
Although the compound was renovated in its original form in the 1990s, it still retains the original architectural style and original tiles.
Wandering in the courtyard, standing under the eaves, the beauty of the tiles is amazing.
What is the cultural meaning of these ornaments?
It must be admitted that Jiaodong architecture is the mother book of Liaoning architecture, as long as you understand Jiaodong architecture, you can clearly understand the beauty of Liaoning architecture.
Dripping tiles originated from Wadang, formed in the Tang Dynasty, Liao, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Qing all inherited the Tang system, and popularized people's houses everywhere during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The dripping tiles are shaped like ruyi heads, so they are also called ruyi dripping water, and their patterns are cloudy, flowers and birds.
The cloud pattern began in the Shang Dynasty, meaning high ascension, ruyi and beauty.
Tuanshou (character) pattern began in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty.
The pattern also has different meanings, the lotus represents auspiciousness, the chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity, and the peony symbolizes harmony, wealth, prosperity.
These dripping tiles were all found in the Qiandechang compound.
Jiaodong culture inherits the Longshan culture and has a long history.
In addition to the cloud pattern, flower and bird pattern, and one pattern, there is also a kind of auspicious ornament that people like, that is, the Fushou pattern.
Bats symbolize blessings, and the two bats are combined with the tuanshou character pattern, that is, double blessings and longevity. Usually it is the five blessings of longevity, such as brick carving, porcelain, and so on.
The plane of the drip tile is smaller, and most of them use double blessings to hold shou.
It is also called Fushou Shuangquan. At the beginning of 2022, I wish all my friends a happy birthday.
