The "Four Seasons and Courtyard" brand settled in the Jinshi Cultural Center, which will be opened to the public on April 18, with Chinese seals as the carrier, through the art form of "between square inches", presenting the cultural charm of Jinshi seal carving, and creating a multi-functional art venue integrating family style and family motto learning and education, seal carving cultural exchanges, cultural and creative exhibitions, etc.
Seals, which are used as stationery printed on documents to indicate identification or signature, are one of the representatives of traditional Chinese culture. Located at No. 38 Wenhua Road, the Jinshi Cultural Center of the "Four Seasons and Courtyard" takes the jade seal of "Ji Entang" as the starting point, and shows the gorgeous and colorful Chinese characters and the profound connotation of Chinese culture through the unique cultural symbol of the seal.
The entire exhibition hall is divided into nine sections, introducing the knowledge and stories of seals, as well as the advantages of seals as a carrier of cultural records and the stories of cultural inheritance and promotion. The alcove next to the window in the north hall is interspersed with stories about seals throughout the ages. Visitors can also scan the QR code on their own to learn more about the seal culture.
Walking in the small courtyard square of the cultural center, the rich cultural atmosphere is blowing in the face. The three large stone slabs facing the gate are respectively engraved with "Ancient Town and New Town", "Nancun Reflecting Snow" and "Xiatang Aftertaste". On the floor tile in the center of the square, the word "Sijing" is arranged with lights, which not only makes the entire cultural center appear more shining at night, but also provides convenience for tourists to travel at night.
It is worth mentioning that the low wall of the small courtyard of the cultural center is made of old bricks and modern glass bricks left over from the renovation of Sijing Ancient Town, forming a unique artistic style. The three big trees on the square, whenever the petals fall wildly, walk in the meantime, like "Feihong stepping on the slush", adding an elegance to the courtyard.
According to reports, as another cultural landmark of Sijing Ancient Town, the "Four Seasons and Courtyard" Jinshi Cultural Center is a cooperation between Sijing Town and Baoyin Culture, and the active exploration and practice of integrating the Chinese cultural treasure Jinshi into the renewal and utilization of the thousand-year-old town, which will further enrich the experience of tourists and promote the prosperity and development of the ancient town culture.
