Reopening the door to welcome guests, the door link triggered a discussion Tao Taoju: the color of the couplet will be changed

Yangcheng Evening News all-media reporter Li Huankun and intern Tang Guangwei photo report: Recently, the Tao Tao Ju Main Store (Shifu Road Store) located in Shangxiajiu Commercial Street in Xiguan, Guangzhou, reopened after two years of closure and restoration (above). However, the link at the door has sparked discussion. On the 6th, the reporter visited the store and contacted the door writer to understand the relevant situation.

On the weekend, the Tao Tao Residence is full of people. From a distance, I saw that the doorway was based on white, and the handwriting was black, which had quite an ancient rhyme. It is reported that due to the special status of Tao Taoju's Guangzhou Registered Cultural Relics Unit, the design team followed the principle of "repairing the old as old" to restore the architectural style of its hundred years ago. Xinmenlian was written by Li Zhuoqi, a calligraphy expert and director of the Guangdong Folk Craft Museum, who has repeatedly inscribed inscriptions for cultural relics units such as Yongqingfang and Guangzhou Museum. The new couplet is written in the form of a tablet. "The body of the Baozi monument has a temple atmosphere, which is very atmospheric and has a pattern." Talking about the choice of fonts, Li Zhuoqi believes that the choice of fonts is combined with the content of the building, and it is necessary to treat classical buildings such as Tao Taoju with a sense of historical precipitation.

The architectural reproduction of the couplet uses a gray sculpture of one of the national intangible cultural heritages. The raw material lime is specially prepared and processed to make plaster, placed for fermentation and then beaten and bonded to a drawing shape, forming a natural adhesive. "Plaster is the art of addition." Unlike other sculptures, which remove excess materials one by one on raw materials, plaster sculpture is constantly laid on the building with layers of stucco to form a three-dimensional.

However, some netizens joked on social media that the new couplet made Tao Taoju's façade "like a spiritual hall". Tao Taoju staff explained that the newly written door link uses dark green, which looks like black because the color is too dark. In order to avoid misunderstanding, in the next few days, Tao Taoju will change the color of the door link.

In addition to the door link, the interior of Tao Tao Ju has also changed, integrating the new Chinese design style, gorgeous and elegant crystal chandelier, simple and fresh marble wall. The iconic "Pavilion of Views", which is located between the 4th and 5th floors, is not currently open to the public. Here you can overlook the Shangxiajiu Commercial Street and the old town.

According to the staff, in addition to the changes in the interior and exterior decoration design, in the future, Tao Tao Ju Main Store will also add Cantonese opera elements to build Tao Tao Ju into a food landmark that fully experiences The culture of Guangfu.
