Liking a place, many times it is difficult to list out specific reasons, if you can really, it will become a system and will be stiff. If you go to an unfamiliar place, just because of the fresh curiosity of what you see and the splendor of the glimpse, it is recognized that it is like, it seems to be not precise enough. Like, must be cut out of the heart of that piece of the flood land of a contact, the heart of the heart of the throbbing pulled a feeling called delight, fondness also ensued, it is carved in the heart of the silk, quietly stationed, quietly, in the bottom of your heart actually occupied a unique one of it, a little touch, it will be so beautiful as the first meeting in front of the eyes, the corners of the mouth of the slightest smile only know that is because of this! The beauty once again surfaced on the heart, as now, that in the Zhouzhuang day time, is no longer forget the beauty of the good.
Rain all the way across the Zhouzhuang Bridge when gradually rested, water stains on the pavement just to moisten the concrete pavement, the signboards on both sides of the street I do not know because of the rain cleaning or the water township is so clean, anyway, I think it is neat and refreshing very much, it is said that the smoky rain of Jiangnan is the most beautiful and best of the most misty as poetry, and especially in March, the new green is only on, the willow smoke, such as drunkenness, the wind and rain slanting, the most wonderful clouds and mist, and the first fall of this The seasonal Jue is also full of flavor, just this little rain stars will be the afternoon of this heavy rain fine and slowly small knot.
It turns out that scanning a large headshot on the ticket will allow you to stay in the town at any time in and out of the town, do the formalities, first to the town to find a place to stay, and then the idea of parking.
Passing through Wuzhen, passing through Xitang, passing through Nanxun, if I say I like Zhouzhuang the most, then, this favorite is from looking for this dream of water town began.
From the gate into the town, did not intentionally have to find what type of inn, just think can not be too far away, back and forth carrying things quite troublesome, just over the first bridge, the left side of the thick weeping willows, according to, such as smoke, such as silk, such as the dust of the willow branches hanging straight down to the water surface, a number of inns along the river is reflected in the green willow, green water, and this is actually between a tall bloom of pink Acacia tree, under the tree, and then a dream! Waterfront signboard, suddenly could not help but be attracted to this acacia over, more rare boss lady is also curly move the beautiful women of Jiangnan, a light veil around the neck, long hair, soft words, who said that the beauty of a single man can only express like it? Wait until she will take me to the upstairs, a glimpse of the acacia tree actually in the room balcony side, strewn red like clouds full of acacia flowers, flat show, soft and smooth on the side, and the other side of the balcony is the thick willow, immediately like the room, a person living in such a waste of some, or no hesitation to decide on this one, because of the acacia, the willow, and the floor to ceiling long window, the long! The balcony outside the window, the balcony of the two small exquisite rattan chairs, and the house of the wall of the water song, and the delicate gauze mosquito net, shrinking in this, what kind of wonderful feeling?
The beautiful lady boss said, because of the rain in the afternoon, a lot of tourists left, after 8:00 p.m. Figure do not want to ticket tourists have not yet come in, so now the town is much less people, and this is exactly what I dream of the water town should look like ah.
Small rain just after the fresh, slate level on a small water concave, the roof of the gray tile deep many, mottled gray walls more mottled thick, rare people walk through the alleys, twilight gradually shrouded, if you say that like Zhouzhuang, then the town of this short and rare quiet time after the rain, let me feel incredibly lucky.
Booked the room, returned to the town gate to park the car, take things to the room, began to enjoy the good time of this town.
Randomly choose a street, said the street, the two sides of the store is separated by more than ten feet, said the alley is more appropriate. It is twilight, both sides of the lanterns have been bright, but there are many stores have been on the board closed for business, a few are still open, store a variety of flowers and colors are still brightly decorated, but the street is almost no one, and I'm a wandering simply not even into the store, my wish is very simple, is that this quiet street, quiet alley, drizzle wet, a person, walking, strolling, watching the town gradually The town is gradually drowning in the night, stepping on the wet stone road, feel the rare silence and beauty.
The night of Zhouzhuang, also red lanterns, green white blue a variety of colors of neon, clear water in the clear house tree bridge people's reflections, as well as in the neon illuminated under the distortion, distortion of some of the exaggerated after the splendor.
"Holding an oil-paper umbrella, alone
wandering in the long, long
and lonely rainy alleys,
I hope to meet
a lilac-like
girl with sorrow."
In this Jiangnan alley, naturally will flash out of this Dai Wangshu's "Rainy Lane", that lilac like a girl with sadness, in the heart of this wandering stay in the end how long, only he himself knows.
Yes, such a long, long, long alley, a person did not, the rain fell on the umbrella lonely tick tock, raindrops fell on the green stone plate, the neighbor's weak lights, they jumped out of the small crystal bright dance. The quiet silence of this long lane ah, thoughts little by little from the bottom of the heart of the corner of the head out, run out, finally knotted out a lilac girl, met?
Unconsciously, folded over an alley, and then turned a right angle along another alley and then go east, has gone to the center of the town, the Fu'an Bridge, the bridge at the corners of the bridge in the lights, the water such as a rouge box overturned dumped into the water, like a YanYanJie thick can not be dissolved in this place, only to see the tourists in twos and threes, there is even a group of about 10 people in the tour guide's lead 8:00 pm come in to shop around is also considered to be a good idea, but I do not know what to do. After eight o'clock to come in a circle is also counted to the Zhouzhuang ancient town, listening to one of the girls enviously said that if you can also see what looks like during the day, really want to say to her, in its so, why do you want to rush it? Such a place is suitable for the state of mind to adjust the calm, slowly walk, stop and experience, even for a few minutes, only to realize the beauty of its serenity. Instead of a large group of people like to see the object as a view and pass, since it has come, no matter how far the distance, such a flash, always a pity.
From Fu'an Bridge, and then sought the alley to the south, until the end of the dimly lit alley, casually walk up to connect the two sides of the water on the small arch bridge, across the bridge, back to the direction of the time to go, but, again, is another alley.
Particularly like this feeling, if you want to throw yourself into any corner of time, then, randomly into an alley, and then, has been walking, has been walking, walked to the time it can no longer pass, turn around, and then look for a, but also such a walk, has been walking, as long as the general direction is good, can be with the temperament of their own in the bridge and water people's homes, the occasional illusion of space and time, at this time not The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal on a new product or service, and then you'll be able to get a good deal on a new one.
Wu Nong soft language in the ear, the river boat sailing through the Ubuntu, the pier is not due to the scarcity of tourists and prematurely rested, a few boatmen guarding the moored boat in the light and shadow of the talk, the bar light candlelight in the shadow of the few people, the town rare so liaoLu, all rely on the afternoon rain, all rely on the day of this early darkness, all rely on the Golden Week has not yet come, tourists are scarce, the stores are light, and this is exactly what I want, so lucky! The company's business is a very good one, and it's a very good one," he said.
Kung Fu is not a good idea, as long as the heart, although it is a tourist attraction, as long as the right time to come, will always meet the real just right it. As at this moment, this alley, this long, this silence, this flow of light fade in the rain drenched on the green stone plate.
Time is not early, the heart is still weighing the balcony outside the acacia and green willow it, in the roadside simply buy two kinds of food, this dinner must be in their own walk very very tired, back to the room, comfortable soak his feet, and then in the balcony, with the wind, with the water, with the side of the acacia, willow, and do not know which one of the bar in the faint sound of the music, cozy, slowly enjoy! This simple meal, this quiet time.
Already half of the night, downstairs water playing cards a few people are ready to disperse, they will be wrapped up in the body next to the recliner playing on the phone at some point back to the room to go, for them to sing so many Wu Niang ditty boatwoman took the income is also gone, upstairs I was listening to a lot of white, that ditty, that knocking on the plate of the ditty, when I was young, there is a movie in the head of the song, and so, I have to listen to a lot of music, and I have to listen to a lot of music, and I can't believe that I have to listen to this. Now, decades later, has been middle-aged me, listening, already do not know what to say good.
On the other side of the river, in the handmade scarf store, the beautiful lady boss is still busy, during the day has been busy all day, the night is not early to rest? The lights of the store built a bridge of light over the water to this side, and the hanging silk scarves of various colors seemed even more beautiful under the lights than in the daytime.
Some of the cool, pink like clouds of acacia trees tilted slightly toward the balcony, spread between the branches and leaves of the so large in the neon lights, dreamy, but also unreal, it is in the balcony, within reach.
No matter what, it is also to rest, close the floor-to-ceiling windows, pull the floor curtains, curtains are still in the light of the acacia and willow, quiet, you also sleep, I'm going to sleep.
The day is still young, the dark sky just a little gray, washed up, carrying a camera, go out, in the tourists have not yet come in large numbers to walk on the town once again.
Crossing the small bridge next to the inn is the entrance to the scenic area of the sign of the screen, from there to the west, and then folded to the south, over the Zhenfeng Street, and then cross the bridge, has been to the back door of the Zen Garden, back to the Zhenfeng Street, but not the bridge, and has been walking, walk to the Fu'an Bridge, folded to the south, has been to the wharf, and then cross the bridge, folded back, and has been to the twin bridges, folded to go to the west, and the water along the flow of the scenic area entrance can be returned to the entrance, along the line, Zhouzhuang tic-tac-toe streets, the town of Zhouzhuang. line, Zhouzhuang well-shaped streets and alleys of the inner side of the basic are there.
This period of time in the early morning, the sky is slightly bright, walking in the silence of the streets and alleys, the occasional few lamps are not yet extinguished, the stores are not yet open, a few early risers in the yard residents are busy, the breakfast store has just poked open the stove, the town, is not yet fully awake it.
No purpose, just not enough to walk the streets and alleys here, the water's edge willows quietly, boats leaning against the roots of large trees, both sides of the tall mottled gray wall of vines, a small stone arch bridge connecting an alley, or a street, a few levels of stone, a few stone fences, the end of the alley to the left or right are another alley or street, walk through the intervening area, very much a kind of not knowing where they are in the quiet fun, and the town is still not awake yet. Stroke this stone fence, with the water's edge of the weeping willow, look at the steps of the cart difficult to get on the residents, the darkness disappeared, neon disappeared, the town as cleaned up like, clean, delicate, playful, this beautiful, how not rare.
The town, although opened as a scenic spot, there are still many of the original residents, in other words, they live in other people need to pay a hundred-dollar bill to get into the place, such a beautiful place, there is a breath of their breath, they are also a part of it, I can not help but say that it is fortunate, attractions to develop the results to them to bring the economic gains and changes in the living environment, but it also restricts their autonomy of environmental change, such as in addition to the indoor and outdoor areas, the town is not a place where the people can live. However, it also restricts their autonomy to change the environment, for example, in addition to the interior can have a certain limit of self-modification, the appearance of the house is not allowed to change at will; at the same time, if they do not do business, their lives are still more or less affected to a certain extent, for example, so many tourists, daily life of the prying eyes of the unavoidable, for example, tourists come to the peak of the crowded crowd, not to affect the daily lives of the people is not possible. It is said that the town's young people go out more, stayed more than the elderly and tourism as a business to do business in the scenic area of the residents, the street stores are also mostly outsiders to this place to rent to do business, with the same as under the eyes of many places, young people envious of the outside world of the wonderful, outside the people envious of the style there, as a siege, come in to the want to go out, outside of the want to come in, want to come to the thought of a lot of thinking and the direction of things are actually amazingly I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
Suddenly there is a conjecture came up, as a tourist, everything here, I am so fond of, so feel a bond with her, so feel in her body is such a spirit of luxury feelings, if this is originally your home, you are a member of this place, you originally reside in this place, you, will still be such a lucky and happy feeling? Would you have chosen to live here happily? The old HOS, the narrow room, the dimly lit attic, the tidal wave of tourists every day, standing on the stage every day, you will still want to see the sea and the beach inside, you will still want to have a piece of self-space, right?
Indeed, the thoughts turned to come, turned half a day still not go, ask yourself, in the end, or actually, actually no answer, because, I don't know how to answer myself, here in the long term life? Feelings are going to be there, unwillingness, is also going to be there; in here to live in the United States? Beautiful, but aesthetic fatigue will be there. I'm not sure if I'd be an aboriginal, if I'd move away from here, as young people do now.
I'm afraid that this can be talked about as a problem involving human nature, what we have, we may not cherish, what is far away, we feel mysterious, we know it, but we will still be like this. However, this is the only way to produce a lot of unobtainable beauty in the world, right? If everyone has lost the chase, then the short only decades, only looking at that same sky, the same land, born to see the world's eyes, listen to the world's ears, line the world's feet, is not much of a waste?
I feel that I see the good, I linger where I am good, I am intoxicated by the feeling that I am, but still, I will not dedicate myself completely to her, because, just these decades, seen this is limited, the line this is limited, heard this is limited, I only wish, only wish that I can, if you can, more to see more lines more to hear some of it is some of it, I cherish the good in the bottom of the heart, the good, the bottom of the heart must be a her! The space in. I also only wish, only wish because of these beautiful, my narrow mind space will not be cramped, because they are gradually full, gradually broad, but also can let that one of their own arbitrary wandering.
I cherish my time and space here, as long as the body here, cherish, in vain to come here, there are many places, with the crowd of a chance encounter, the next time in the light of day, perhaps, never again, there are many people, many things, many places, the first time is likely to be the last time, cherish, and not to pay for this life ever met.
One hand slipped a birdcage, the other hand slipped a whole set of tea set of people to attract my attention, to see him walk up a section of a random step plate to sit down, teasing a bird, die on a small mouth of tea, the road to the neighbors to chat on a few sentences, or will be set aside to the side of the bird, their own slipped a section of a turn around again and then back to the heavy and slipped a birdcage with a tea set to change the place to re-just the process of re-coming back again, the reason why so much attention to him is because, one of the first time, many things may be the last, cherish, will not pay for ever met in this life. The reason why I pay so much attention to him, because, a morning, from the day dawn I saw him out of the house the first eye, I turned the town around, flowed more than two hours, different alleys or small bridges on the side of the encounter several times, so, is also a kind of life, although a little bit of Yang, however, each have their own life, feel comfortable on the good, the outsiders chatter thumping what?
The town is said to have a large number of elderly people, this scene, this early in the morning to feel extraordinarily real, but also friendly. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services you need. The particular I live in this section of the water flow side, the water is also broad, willow is also high, willow will be the water dyed more green, it seems that even the air is also green, people also in that green have a ride without a ride to chat a few words, really good.
Walking around, 8 o'clock, the town of tourists more up, the street ate something random, back to the room to make up some sleep, plans to go to this town famous Shen Hall, Zhang Hall and other human attractions to see.
Waking up at 9:00, I packed up my things and put them on the boss's wife's place, saying that I would pick them up when I got back.
In the town skipped a morning and evening, linger in the town's natural beauty, small bridges and waterways, these more than a hundred years of history of the building hall masonry between the tiles has accumulated too much nature outside of the humanities imprint, the scenic area is now focusing on the opening of the Shen Hall, the Zhang Hall, the Quanfu Temple, Zhouzhuang Museum of Attractions, attractions within the scenic area will only open the door to the normal visiting time, want to a The only way to get around the town in peace and quiet is to go in and visit the attractions after the tourists have flooded into the town.
Through the Zhenfeng Street, to the back door of the Quanfu Temple, into the door, is the Tibetan scripture building, on both sides of the east and west compartments and the bell and drum tower, the west side of the drum tower in front of the temple's West Garden, paths, homes, rockery, stone boats, bridges, running water, and the central axis of the majestic and solemn contrast.
Transferred to the center of the canal to the Maharishi Temple, in the Maharishi Temple on the central axis there is a not much smaller than the Hall of the Finger Pavilion, the Finger Pavilion in front of the release of the pool, the pool has an arched bridge, across the bridge that is the Temple of the mountain gate, and a few steps outside the mountain gate is the South Lake of the smoky waves, check some information, or did not understand why there will be a Finger Pavilion of the name, the origin of the reason why.
Entered the temple to give me the first impression that the temple is not big, but very delicate, pattern of unusual at a glance, a central axis on the whole temple main buildings, not like some temples will have a lot of halls, that is, the Maharajah's temple with the finger return to the cabinet, the attached buildings are not much, scattered in the paste wall on the east and west sides; the second impression of the temple to see the middle of the temple to look at the two sides of a little confused about the end of the place! Is not a temple, because the garden in the typical style of Jiangnan gardens, very much like which family's backyard, and a few old people sitting there idly, very beautiful; the third impression is that the whole temple in the water than the land is larger than the building seems to be on the water piling and chiseling holes before building up like, and then see the introduction, y feel that this is really a Buddhist country on the water.
Introduction, said Quanfu Temple full name of the South Lake Park Quanfu speaking temple, backed by the ancient town, located in the vast South Lake, surrounded by the lake, rippling water, the garden trees, small bridges, pavilions and pavilions, the temple building majestic, solemn statues of Buddha, smoke, bells thick, Ming and Qing styles of ancient buildings scattered in the yard, for the south of the distinctive style of the garden.
The original temple was built in the Northern Song Dynasty (1086), the reconstruction of the ancient body of the building is built in the water, most of the temple building for the unique, for this reason, Zhao Puchu featured the "water Buddha Pavilion" plaque. In honor of Zhou Digonglang, who donated his house to build the temple, the descendants changed the original name of the place from Zhenfengli to Zhouzhuang. Daxiongbao Hall enshrines Sakyamuni Buddha as "the first bronze Buddha in Jiangnan". Garden east and west each have a garden, the east garden to traditional pavilions and pavilions, show the cultural relics of past dynasties, held various cultural activities. The West Garden draws on the essence of folk architecture in Jiangnan, with small bridges and flowing homes. The landscapes in the garden include South Lake Autumn Moon, Quanfu Dawn Bell, Finger Spring Hope, Changsheng Ancient Apricot, Quanfu Changqiao Zhuangtian Falling Geese, etc., which means that the Quanfu Temple is first a garden on water, and then a Buddhist country on water.
I am from the back door into the temple, through the temple is the main door, from there turn left to its east, where green grass, there is an ancient ginkgo tree, in fact, can only be regarded as half a tree, because it seems to be broken from the middle of the ginkgo tree, I've seen a lot of ginkgo trees, the most sturdy to seven or eight people to be able to wrap their arms around over, although this one can not be compared with it, however, in this water is also very rare.
There is also a huge long bridge to the east of the mountain gate, white stone railing, arched bridge, this end of the bridge is the temple door, out of the door is a small arch bridge in the water village, across the bridge is the HOS along the water, everything is so compact, everything is so delicate.
The boatwoman will be moored outside the temple covered with a printed blue-dyed cloth canopy boat out, may be their family's turn to operate a small boat it. The boat will cross an arch bridge and arrive at the pier, waiting for tourists and taking them to linger in the town's flowing water, where time and warmth, accompanied by the soft Wu Nong language, are slowly dispersed.
Walking along the water's edge to the middle of the street, there is that famous Shen Hall, seat east to west, seven into five door building, building more than 100 rooms, covers an area of more than 2,000 square feet, truly this inch of land in the island Zhouzhuang in the mansion.
Introduction said Shen Hall was originally named Jingye Hall, the late Qing Dynasty changed to Songmao Hall, built in the Qing Dynasty Qianlong 7 years (1742). *** divided into three parts: the front part of the water wall gate, stone river port, for docking wharf, for the water township unique architecture. The middle part is composed of wall gate, tea hall and main hall, which is the place for meeting guests and handling marriage and funeral; the back part is the main hall, small hall and back hall house, which is the place for living and living. The whole building is a typical "front hall after the hall" pattern, before and after the building are connected by the street building and compartment building communication, the formation of a large "horse building", for the same kind of building is rare.
Songmao Hall is in the center of the hall, with high eaves and spacious beams carved with python, unicorn, flying crane and dancing phoenix. Plaque for the Nantong scholar Zhang Jian book, towards the main hall of the brick doorway is the most exquisite, 6 meters high, covered with brick eaves, diaojiao high cocking, the lower bearing brick arch bucket. Lotus pendant columns on both sides, five layers of brick carvings arranged in a compact manner, the plaque engraved in the center of the "Virtue flow of light" four words, surrounded by fine "red plums to meet the spring" relief, and the rest of the engraved "Peony Pavilion", The rest of the carvings are "Peony Pavilion", "The Story of the Western Wing" and other plays, pavilions and pavilions, which are the finest in the art of brick carving.
The hall building modeling thick, smooth lines, beams and carvings for the Ming-style circular pattern, the whole building set Hui gang, Shao gang, Su gang of the long, magnificent, for the rare Jiangnan residence.
The whole Shen Hall turn down, the deepest impression is that it is ubiquitously endowed with symbols of wealth, Shen Wansan statue before that a sliver of the Yuanbao modeling; on both sides of the preparation of Shen Wansan in the huge life profile, business, expanding the airway, fortune, help Ming, squeezed until the family broke, banishment; side rooms specifically for tourists, a variety of Yuanbao small souvenirs, there is a large Yuanbao shape of the door, and even the foreigners are there to take pictures with great interest! There, even the foreigners are interested in taking pictures; hanging on the wall, the house set up, the introduction said, is Shen Wansan's wealth myth. However, I am also a little puzzled, Shen Wansan just house the real owner of the ancestors, it is actually Shen Wansan descendants, Zhouzhuang town social director Shen Wenyuan son of Shen Benren, is Shen Wansan that generation of broken backward do not know which generation of the descendants of the rise, they also accumulated a huge amount of wealth, living in Zhouzhuang, built this mansion, the time has been in the Shen Wansan more than 200 years after a certain sense of belonging to rebuild their ancestral property, and now, the owner of the building is often ignored. The owner of the building is often ignored, but his old ancestors here in the main position of the hall, if not careful, also thought that this mansion is Shen Wansan built it. However, it is good that he did not build, otherwise it will be the same with his other family business as early as the old Zhu Emperor thought of ways to toss the end of the count as just, which also stayed down.
The whole house, now also seems to be a super luxury version of the amazing ah, that the beams of the gilded dragons, phoenixes, cranes and unicorns; that exquisite stone carving of the doorway; that layer by layer into the house, has been extended, extended, until the huge kitchen, although compared with the hall seems to be a little larger, but also imagine that the people who at that time to eat is also a lot of very big; that is not a big house a piece of exquisite furniture; that unique craftsmanship of the kitchen is not a big house. Furniture in the small house; the unique horse building; the wooden door and wooden windows and wooden corridor, breathtaking ah. If you put them in Zhouzhuang such a special geographical location, you can afford such a large area of residence, great.
If the Ming Shen Wansan with the Qing Dynasty, his descendant Shen Benren compared, can not help but not let a person lament, Shen Wansan is to do his best to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally can not be avoided family bankruptcy and exile, not to mention such a lavish show of wealth, but also to enjoy. Shen Benren it, earned it dare to spend, built such a mansion here, daily life is even more dare not think, however, the later generations, seems to be more worship his old ancestor, and on his own, do not know much, the house is more by his old ancestor to take the limelight, think about it, but also quite interesting, if the two of them can come to a time-traveling PK, what is the situation, but also really hard to say ah.
The mansion from the dock began seven into five, one layer after another, one layer followed by another layer, the middle of a small courtyard or a narrow preparation to get or a patio, the light is naturally not very bright, from the door into the door, has been walking to the back, back to the front, and then walk up again, slowly taste, will find, in fact, living in this mansion, if it is me, will feel depressing, cramped space, dark and dark, and will not be able to see, but will be able to see, and will be able to see, and will be able to see, and will be able to see, and will be able to see, and will be able to see. The cramped space, the dim light, it's no fun at all, although even by today's measurements, it's a mansion no less.
and Shen Hall is not far from each other, is another famous mansion, Zhang Hall, also known as the Yu Yan Hall, Ming Dynasty building, built earlier than the Shen Hall, formerly known as Yishun Hall, Ming Zhongshan King Xu Da's younger brother descendants of the built, and then the family way, sold to the Zhang surname, commonly known as the Zhang Hall, the mansion before and after the six into the street along the river, size of the house more than 70, covering an area of 1,884 square meters, from the main hall to the back garden there are 47 meters ready to弄,弄底 A pool of water, art Jing River through the house, the real water town "sedan chair from the front door, the boat from the home over" spectacle.
The first part of the house is a tea hall, and then the main hall - Yuyan Hall, Yuyan Hall, spacious and bright, under the columns of the court for the rare wooden drum pier (i.e., the base of the columns), is a clear sign of the Ming Dynasty architecture. The hall is decorated with Ming-style mahogany furniture and decorated with lanterns. The wall of the - a pair of couplets is particularly striking: the first couplet "sedan chair from the door forward", the second couplet "boat from the home over". The third is the qin and chess room, the owner of the qin, chess and other recreational activities of the premises. The interior is furnished with valuable rosewood furniture, marble floor screen placed in the center, hanging on the wall of the qin and chess calligraphy and painting ancient wood painting, the layout style is very decent. Then there is a spacious and bright study, the owner of the reading and book collection, the house furnished with yellow rosewood furniture and antiques, the whole study is full of rich book atmosphere. Behind the study is the family's private school, the east wall of the private school set floor to ceiling long windows, facing the back garden, the back garden is not big, but very exquisite, there are mountains and water and green plants, there are corridors and pavilions and steps, although the mountain for the rockery, the water for the introduction of the collocation is very careful. The rockery is called Jade Swallow Peak, echoing the main hall of the mansion, Jade Swallow Hall. The entire backyard garden is quiet, corridor and pavilion is exquisite, base stone for the mountain, water connected to the outside of the mansion, vine winding, very beautiful. There is another lane in the house, which is a small lane connecting the hall and the rooms, and it is a special lane for the servants and subordinates. There is a niche on the wall with a built-in oil lamp for lighting.
The two mansions turn down in detail, if they are compared, in my personal feeling, I love Zhang Hall to be more.
The two mansions are not far apart, and the style and the temperament of the owner embodied in the mansion are quite different. Although the same in Zhouzhuang this special place because of the geographical situation limitations, covers an area not like land on the family easily stretched vast, but on the total proportion of Zhouzhuang, covers a large enough.
Zhang Hall is smaller than the Shen Hall, but the overall feeling is more comfortable than the Shen Hall, the reason is that the Shen Hall, in addition to the patio and the small courtyard after the Song Mao Hall, almost full of a variety of rooms with the get, and even the second floor is also crowded with the formation of a horse building, a picture of the rich and powerful, the family business, full of room full of people full of wind; Zhang Hall, the use of space is not as tight as the Zhang Hall. The main room outside the main hall and spacious study, revealing the master's elegance, private school covers an area with the arrangement can be seen in the master's family for the importance of education, as well as the elegant and fun back garden, a picture of leisure and elegance flavor floating.
If you compare the two again, I think Zhang Hall and Zhouzhuang more coordinated, small bridges and flowing homes, exquisite life, taste elegant, some of today's petty capitalist mood; Shen Hall, everywhere is the traces of the rich show off, some of today's tycoon's temperament, is it because of the ancestors because of the wealth of the disaster and choose to express some of the construction of what?
Two mansions, different periods, Jiong Ran style, once the owners of the family has long been lost in the river of time, they are more ideas, and then exquisite thinking, now no longer belong to them, in addition to the name, what else will belong to them? Not surprisingly, a couplet in the Zhang Hall says:
The ancient and modern colors and shapes are no more than a play
The world is strange and weird why serious
