It should be that in the 1980s, especially in developed areas, ancient buildings have begun to be demolished, and the "first to get rich" families have also sold their old wooden furniture and made rapid progress towards modernization.
Looking back, it's a bit fast! I heard that the ancient city of Pingyao was also ready to be demolished, but because the demolition funds were not in place, the work was stopped. This court, stopping out a World Heritage Site, as well as a huge amount of tourism revenue every year.
Mr. Ma Weidu had the foresight to accept it when others abandoned him, and people took out a museum, the Guanfu Museum. Guanfu Museum is the first private museum in China, known for its furniture and porcelain. In particular, its doors and windows are rare in other places. In his door and window museum, he will definitely feel the beauty of ancient doors and windows, and it is not too much to say that he will never forget it.
Among the many doors and windows, there is a group of "character story window" produced in Zhejiang, which uses a combination of bas-relief carving and see-through carving technology, and the whole group of flower window carvings is extremely exquisite, which can withstand careful observation under a magnifying glass.
The "Character Story Window" exhibited in the Doors and Windows Museum of the Guanfu Museum is a group of eight.
This group of Dongyang wood carved flower windows uses bas-relief and through carving and other processes.
The decorative themes of Dongyang wood carvings mostly use auspicious patterns and opera stories to express the simple emotions and preferences of the people.
The center of this group of wood carved flower panes is carved with landscape character stories, and the character lines are smoothly carved.
The upper part of the lattice center is a variety of landscape plants and other motifs. The essence of carving can be seen in the branches and leaves of the plant.
The second half is carved with character stories with smooth lines.
The border is also beautifully carved with patterns. Look at the intricacies of the carvings, the tiles of the house and the patterns on the door panels are clearly visible.
The old man, the boy, and the horse all gave a clear account of their looks.
On "Magnifier"! I can't paint so well!
The tapestry panel depicts the character's story in bas-relief.
The stories of the characters on the tassel plate: taking the piano with the stone, drinking three liters first, secretly reciting the Six Classics, Ge Towel wine, Qi Tong and Xi, the big boat weighing the elephant, the mountain man returning drunk, and the book weeping.
Such a beautiful thing, the original owner gave up! If you see it in a museum, will you regret your decision? It is easy to give up, and then want to buy it back or get a set, it is basically impossible.
