Many people say that Shanghai is a charming and modern modern girl, and some people say that Shanghai is a gentle and quiet Jiangnan woman.
Shanghai is indeed a very beautiful city, when it comes to Shanghai, many people's heads are filled with dazzling night scenery, drunken nightlife. However, Shanghai still has laoshang beaches, the French Concession in the Republic of China era and the private gardens of Jiangnan Smoke and Rain.
On this trip to Shanghai, local friends in Shanghai took us to the Sinan Mansion that we had never been to before, and it is estimated that many locals have not been to it. The "Sinan Time Zone Gallery" inside the mansion is holding an exhibition of "Debate Spring". The cartoon "Summer Worm Country" in the video surprised the friends, let's go and see it together.
"The distance is tens of kilometers, driving for an hour and a half" Shanghai is really not a general jam, finally before lunch came to the Sinan Mansion in Huangpu District, fortunately there are not too many people, the small partner took us in a circle.
Sinan Mansion is located in the core area of Shanghai Puxi City Center, covering an area of about 50,000 square meters. It is adjacent to the beautiful Fuxing Park and the convenient chongqing South Road in the east. Once the core area of the French Concession, it is now free to the public.
It was the residence and meeting place of the upper class in the 1920s, and this year, the garden villas along Fuxing Park (the old French Park) and Fuxing Middle Road (the old Lafayette Road) were erected, attracting a large number of celebrities, merchants and various military and political leaders of the time.
Most of the ancient buildings around Shanghai are characteristic of the classical gardens in Jiangnan; whether it is Yu Garden, Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, Shaojialou Ancient Town or Xinchang Ancient Town, most of them are mainly Supai gardens. It is mainly garden houses, and there are more than 50 pieces of special attractions, which are very rare.
Today, Sinan Mansion has 49 renovated historic buildings and 9 new buildings. The scenic area contains three functional areas, including Sinan Mansion Hotel, Characteristic Famous Shop Commercial Area and Corporate Mansion. Surrounding sinan mansion, it has become a characteristic business circle. All the way are old bungalows, and the restored old bungalows look particularly atmospheric.
Looking at the French sycamores watching the history of France one by one, if there is no "Sinan Mansion" at the door, you will really think that you have come to a foreign country.
The little friend said that he would take a photo here and pretend to come abroad.
This was once the address of the Communist Party's office in Shanghai, and there is also the site of Premier Zhou's revolutionary office; the old building tells the story of Shanghai's past, the foreign atmosphere of Shanghai culture, after so many years of wind and rain, it is still fashionable, tasteful, and the surrounding high-rise buildings can not surpass the tranquility.
In addition to the scenery of the garden houses, there are Michelin restaurants, various specialties, cafes, art exhibitions, small museums, designer works, and the old bungalows are in harmony with fireworks and gentleness on the other.
The most noteworthy is the "Debate Spring" exhibition held at the "Sinan Time Zone Gallery"; the story behind the cartoon "Summer Worm Country" in the video is really shocking.
The work of "Summer Worm Country" is composed of more than 13,000 pieces of plasterboard paintings, with a total weight of about 20 tons, which can be said to be the heaviest animation. The specific drawing method, I guess you have not heard of it.
In order to obtain the best painting effect, the author has tried wood boards, stone slabs, watermarks, copper plates, various handmade paper and silk, the material is too hard to work, too soft is not enough; too hard to make difficult, too soft reputation mural texture. More than a dozen people participated in the creation, and it took more than half a month to collect the style in Dunhuang alone. Later, he went to Yongle Palace to study the murals, and traveled to many places to study grottoes and architecture. It took two days to complete the painting.
This plasterboard painting revives the Technique of Dunhuang Rock Painting, paints on plaster with ore powder, and depicts the linguistic story of Zhuangzi:
The people of the Summer Worm Country live and die in spring and autumn, and they can't see winter and ice and snow. The general, Mr. Ink Bucket, and Lux decide to go out in search of ice. They built a large ship out of the sacred wood, ventured out to sea, encountered a monster, the big ship was destroyed, and finally with the help of the king of wind and rain, they survived the difficulties and returned to the Summer Worm Country with the dragon. At this time, the Summer Worm Country was already covered with ice and snow.
Spring and Autumn prophecy, just right, we spend our whole lives chasing dreams, always on the road, the most precious often the original intention of the old starting point.
