The Tang Dynasty Liu Yuxi's "Buried Room Inscription" said: "The mountain is not high, and the immortal is named." The water is not deep, there are dragons and spirits. Si is the Burrow, but Wu Dexin.". There are a hundred rooms in the world, and there are all kinds of things, with a pure and elegant taste, and there are also solemn houses in the cold house. Having a cloudy mind and a thousand piles of chen is tantamount to the miscellaneous things in the city, and the elegance of a room lies in the cultivation of people. The burrow is not ugly, it all lies in the master's knowledge and the realm of virtue and art.
Accustomed to the rush of the line,
accustomed to the busyness of life,
Especially coveting the idleness of floating life for half a day.
Hope there is a place,
Rest on your knees, shake off your body full of exhaustion;
Cut off from the hustle and bustle and enjoy yourself at ease.
Read a book, or sit, or lie half-down;
Make a pot of tea and slowly pass the time.
Poetry books on pillows, scenery in front of windows,
The sun has warm sun, and the night is accompanied by stars,
Such a place is none other than the study.
In the study career of literature and Yan, the study room is not only the starting point for the ancient Chinese literati to pursue their careers, but also the way back for them to find themselves. When tired of the darkness of politics and the struggle of society, hiding in a small building, "partial" corner, chanting and painting, reading behind closed doors; or two or three friends get together, strange literature is appreciated, doubts and analysis... Therefore, the study became an indispensable pastime and rest place for the ancient literati.
The purpose of reading is to learn a wide range of knowledge and apply it to the world. Over time, reading becomes a habitual communication, and even if you don't read for three days, you will feel that the language is tasteless and the face is hateful. Although books can be read everywhere, who does not want to have their own collection of books, who does not want to have their own side of the world, for reading, learning, and meeting friends? The study does not have to be too big, there are several shelves, a table, a chair, a lamp, there is a scale, there is a place to meditate and settle the soul in daily life.
Li Yu, a famous scholar of the Qing Dynasty, specifically talked about the decoration of the study in the book "Idle Love and Occasional Mail", which has many exquisite designs, but advocates "simple and not complicated", and strives for "elegant and vulgar fun". From ancient times to the present, there are no rules for the study. The rich can build a special building, and the poor or room have only one seat; some carved beams and painting buildings, and some surround Xiao Ran. The study is either built on the water's edge, or built in the mountains, or hidden in the city wells, or hidden in the countryside. Most of the study rooms are planted outdoors with bamboo from Nanshan.
"Yun Window", "Yun Guan", "Fluorescent Window", "Snow Window" are the aliases of the study. "Yun Window" and "Yun Guan" originate from the spice used by the ancients to ward off insects- yun. "Fluorescent Window" and "Snow Window" are the inspirational stories of Che Yinsang And Sun Kangyingxue. Although the alias is chic, it is only used occasionally in poetry, because the "book" in the study (study) is the most elegant and generous.
Si is the Burrow, but Wu Dexin. The moss marks are green on the upper level, and the grass color is green. There is a great deal of laughter and laughter, and there is no white ding. You can tune the piano, read the Golden Scripture, have no silk bamboo messy ears, and have no case of labor. Liu Yuxi's "Buried Room Inscription" of the Tang Dynasty is a portrayal of the owner's interest, and it is a famous work that describes the study in ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, he was a teenager who lived in an extremely narrow study called Xiang Ridge Xuan. "The room is only an abbot, and it can accommodate one person", but the author "borrows books full of shelves, and sings on his back; he sits quietly, and there is a sound in all kinds of sounds".
Ancient literati often started their own study. The name of the study has a process of development from its origin to its popularity. Although Sima Qian has a huge work of Hongwen "Records of History", he has not heard of his name. The Buried Chamber Is a Book of Fasting, but the "Buried Room" cannot be regarded as the name of the book. Officially named Shuzhai, it seems to have originated in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to history, Sima Guang has the name "Reading Hall", which is simple but too plain. Later, there was Hongmai's "Rong Zhai" and Lu You's "Old School Nunnery". In the Yuan Dynasty, the practice of naming the shuzhai had affected ethnic minorities in the Western Regions. This is recorded in a large number of records in Chen Yuan's "Examination of Huahua of the YuanXi Regions". By the time the Ming and Qing dynasties were famous, literati bachelors almost all had their own shuzhai ya names. Yuan Zongdao's "Bai Su Zhai", Tang Bohu's "Dream Ink Hall", Zhang Pu's "Seven Records Zhai", Yuan Ming's "Xiaocang Mountain House", Pu Songling's "Liaozhai", and Liang Qichao's "Drinking Ice Room" are all of far-reaching meanings. "Drinking Ice Room", the words "Zhuangzi Human World": "I am ordered to drink ice at night, I am hot inside", describing the anxiety in my heart, and the owner of the room expresses his worries about the future of the country. The number of the house is pinned on the master's ambition and affection, and the study is the city of the soul of the literati.
The ancients are good at ancient times, reading the books of the sages, emphasizing historical experience, thinking about the ancients, and pursuing the fun of knowing the past and the present. Books and artifacts, the more ancient the more interesting. Authentic calligraphy and paintings, original inscriptions, and rare books are naturally treasures of the study, and those stationery utensils are also best to have some ancient meaning. The Ming and Qing literati treasured the Song and Yuan editions of books, using old kilns or bronze utensils, which became a kind of elegant fun. This is often reflected in the treatises or literary works of that time.
The sound of the piano in Zhaizhong is also a kind of elegance of the literati, the long sound of the piano "can make the river white, but also make the river deep" (Chang Jian); the indifferent sound of the piano "as if the strings are outside, so see the ancients" (Wang Changling); the sound of the piano is most suitable to accompany the moon "loose wind blows the belt, the mountain moon plays the piano" (Wang Wei); the sound of the piano can also be "a cup of play a song, do not feel the sunset sinking" (Meng Haoran). The sound of the piano expands the interest of the book, and the sound of the piano refines the rhyme of the book.
Being close to nature and away from the hustle and bustle is another charm of the study. The ideal study environment for the Ming Dynasty Li Ye's "Purple Peach Xuan Miscellaneous" is: "Choose a bookstore at the Xishan Ququ, the structure is only three, and the upper floor is added to view the clouds." A hundred bamboo poles are repaired on all sides to attract the breeze; a long pine plant in the south can be hung in the bright moon. The old plum is cold, the low branches are into the window, the grass is mossy, and the surrounding is under the masonry. The East House is set up in the Dao, the Book of the Second House of Interpretation, and the Confucian Classics in the West House. A few horizontal and horizontal beds, the name of the miscellaneous law book is painted. Rice, fish soup, famous wine, fine tea. Yi Jian Ding guarded the customs and refused to come and go with ordinary guests. "It is not realistic to build a room in the mountains, but it can make a mountain house interesting.
The ancestors said, "Only the book is colored, and it is beautiful in Xizi; but the book is gorgeous, and it is beautiful in The Hundred Hui.". To store books in the room is to hide rich in the heart, to read in leisure time, and over time, a person's temperament will change invisibly. May you and I both build the study in our hearts, nourished by volumes, which reward you not only with grace, but also with grace.
