Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind
Chapter 113 was rewritten to Chapter 29
In the busy city of Beijing, the Siheyuan is like a silent elder, quietly waiting behind the hustle and bustle of the city. Xiao Li, a young photographer who is full of respect for traditional culture, embarked on a journey to find Siheyuan with a yearning for the old Beijing Hutongs.
It was a sunny afternoon. Xiao Li was walking through the winding alleys, looking for traces carved by time. His eyes were attracted by a half-open wooden door. The copper ring on the door shone softly in the sunlight. He gently pushed the door open, and a faint floral fragrance came to his face, accompanied by a breeze, making him feel relaxed and happy.
Inside the courtyard is a completely different world. In the center of the courtyard is a small and exquisite pond, with a few green lotus leaves floating on the water. Occasionally, a dragonfly skims the water, stirring up ripples. Around the pond is a circle of carefully trimmed flowers and plants, which appear vibrant under the sunshine. Surrounding the courtyard is a circle of blue brick and gray tile houses, with the walls covered with traces of time, but still as solid as ever.
Xiao Li walked into the courtyard and found several elderly people sitting on stone benches in the courtyard, chatting leisurely. When they saw Xiao Li, they smiled kindly and warmly invited him to join them. Xiao Li sat on the stone bench, took a cup of hot tea handed by the elderly, and felt the tranquility and harmony of the courtyard.
The elders began to tell the story of the Siheyuan, from the official residence of the Qing Dynasty, to the changes during the Republic of China, and then to the transformation after the founding of New China. Each story gave Xiao Li a deeper understanding of this Siheyuan. As he listened to the elders' stories, he felt an inexplicable touch in his heart, as if there was some indescribable connection between him and this Siheyuan.
Xiao Li began to carefully observe every detail of the Siheyuan, from the wood carvings under the eaves, to the paintings on the walls, to the stone tables and benches in the courtyard, each of which revealed the craftsman's ingenuity and care. He found that although the Siheyuan had experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, these details were still well preserved, as if telling unknown stories.
As the sun sets, the courtyard is enveloped in a golden glow. Xiao Li stands up and bids farewell to the old people, feeling reluctant to leave. He knows that this chance encounter will become an unforgettable experience in his life. He decides to use his professional knowledge to inject new vitality into this courtyard and let it shine with new brilliance in modern society.
When Xiao Li left the courtyard, he looked back and saw that the half-open wooden door looked particularly warm under the setting sun. He believed that in the near future, he would come here again and write more chapters with this courtyard full of stories.
On the way home, Xiao Li kept replaying every detail of the Siheyuan in his mind. He knew that this was just the beginning and he still had a long way to go. But he also firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, nothing was impossible. He looked forward to witnessing the rebirth of this ancient land together with the residents of the Siheyuan.
As night fell, the lights in the courtyard gradually lit up, and each light was like a warm star, illuminating the way for the residents to go home. Xiao Li stood up and said goodbye to the residents. He knew that this experience would have a profound impact on his design career. With respect for the courtyard and the residents, he embarked on the road home, with his heart full of expectations and longings for the future.
### The second paragraph: The warmth and memory of the courtyard
Xiao Li stepped into the courtyard again, this time with deep respect and curiosity for this land. The sunlight shines through the ancient locust tree and sprinkles on the bluestone slabs, forming mottled light and shadow. In the courtyard, several elderly people are leisurely enjoying the afternoon time, their faces are filled with kind smiles, as if telling the good times.
He greeted the old people softly, and they warmly invited him to sit down and share this quiet afternoon with them. Xiao Li sat on a stone bench and took the hot tea handed to him by an old lady. The fragrance of the tea warmed his heart. They began to talk. The old people told the past stories of the Siheyuan in a slow and warm tone. Each story was like a pearl connecting the history of the Siheyuan.
The old people told him that the Siheyuan witnessed their lives, from youth to old age, from the prosperity of the family to the growth of their children and grandchildren. Every brick and tile carries their memories and emotions. Xiao Li was deeply moved by these stories. He began to record these precious memories with a pen, hoping to incorporate them into his own design, so that the renovation of the Siheyuan is not only an update of the appearance, but also a respect and inheritance of these memories.
As the communication deepened, Xiao Li learned that the residents had deep feelings for the courtyard house. They hoped that the renovation would preserve the original style of the courtyard, and also hoped to add some modern facilities to meet the needs of modern life. Xiao Li listened carefully to their opinions and suggestions, and he knew that these valuable opinions would be an important reference for his design.
In the following days, Xiao Li began to observe every corner of the courtyard in depth. From the exquisite wood carvings under the eaves to the mottled marks on the walls, from the ancient well in the courtyard to every stone slab, he studied them carefully, hoping to retain these elements of historical value in the design.
Xiao Li also paid special attention to the community function of the courtyard. He plans to add some public facilities in the courtyard, such as a reading room, a chess and card room and a fitness area, to meet the diverse living needs of residents. He also plans to open up a green space in the courtyard and plant flowers, plants and trees to provide residents with a space close to nature.
During the design process, Xiao Li always adhered to one principle: respect history and serve life. He hopes that through his design, the Siheyuan will become a community space that has both a sense of history and can meet the needs of modern life. He believes that only in this way can the Siheyuan truly radiate new vitality.
As the design plan gradually improved, Xiao Li began to discuss and modify the plan with the residents. They participated and created together, making the transformation of the Siheyuan a process of community co-construction. In this process, Xiao Li was not only a designer, but also a friend and partner of the residents. They discussed and worked together to make suggestions for the future of the Siheyuan.
Xiao Li's days in the Siheyuan were filled with new discoveries and inspirations every day. He began to transform these inspirations into specific design plans, determined to make this ancient courtyard perfectly integrated with modern life. He knew that this was not only a transformation of the physical space, but also a cultural and spiritual inheritance.
At the beginning of the design, Xiao Li conducted in-depth research on the historical background and architectural features of the Siheyuan, striving to inject modern design elements while retaining the traditional charm. He plans to add some modern art installations around the pool in the center of the courtyard, both as decoration and as interactive elements for community activities. These installations can be appreciated as sculptures during the day, and become the highlight of the courtyard at night through built-in lights.
Xiao Li also paid special attention to the actual needs of the residents of the Siheyuan. He designed a multifunctional community center, which can host various cultural activities, such as calligraphy and painting classes, tea art classes, Peking Opera appreciation, etc. It is also a place for residents to communicate on a daily basis. The design of the community center uses a lot of natural light, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
In many discussions with the residents, Xiao Li learned that they have a special affection for the greening of the courtyard. Therefore, he added more green areas to the design plan, which not only beautified the environment, but also provided a space for residents to get close to nature. He also cleverly used the old trees in the courtyard and designed leisure seats and trails around them, so that residents can enjoy a quiet time under the shade of the trees.
Xiao Li's design also includes the reinforcement and protection of the original structure of the courtyard. He used modern construction technology to reinforce some old walls and roofs to ensure the safety of the courtyard while preserving its historical features. Although these works are tedious, Xiao Li knows that this is a respect for the history of the courtyard.
As the design plan gradually improved, Xiao Li began to implement the renovation plan with the residents. They moved materials together, painted new walls, and laid floor tiles. Everyone was full of enthusiasm and expectations. In this process, Xiao Li was not only a designer, but also a friend and partner of the residents. They participated and created together, making the renovation of the courtyard a process of community co-construction.
During the renovation project, Xiao Li also paid special attention to environmental protection and sustainability. He used environmentally friendly materials and designed a rainwater collection and recycling system to reduce the impact on the environment. These measures not only reflect Xiao Li's sense of responsibility for environmental protection, but also make the courtyard a green and ecological community space.
As time goes by, the renovation of the courtyard gradually shows results. The old objects in the courtyard are given new life, and the new facilities and spaces are perfectly integrated with the ancient buildings. The residents are filled with joy and pride as they watch their homes become more beautiful and comfortable day by day. They know that this is not only the credit of Xiao Li, but also the result of everyone's joint efforts.
During the renovation process, Xiao Li also recorded every important moment and change, using his camera and pen to record the story and changes of the Siheyuan. These records have not only become part of the history of the Siheyuan, but also become the common memory of the community residents.
When the renovation project was nearing completion, the courtyard had been completely renovated, but it still retained its simplicity and warmth. Residents gathered in the courtyard and held a simple and solemn celebration ceremony to thank all those who participated in the renovation, especially Xiao Li, who used his wisdom and sweat to bring new life to the courtyard.
The horn of the renovation sounded, and Xiao Li and the residents were active in every corner of the Siheyuan. Like craftsmen, they carefully polished every space, giving this ancient courtyard new vitality. In this process, Xiao Li deeply felt the power of the community, and everyone's participation made the renovation of the Siheyuan closer to the lives of the residents.
Xiao Li cleverly incorporated the ideas proposed by the residents into the design, such as adding a vegetable garden in the courtyard so that residents can grow vegetables by themselves and experience the fun of farming. At the same time, Xiao Li also designed a cultural wall to display the history of the courtyard and the life photos of the residents, which has become a beautiful landscape in the courtyard.
As the project progresses, the courtyard gradually shows a new look. Under the old locust tree, the newly built benches have become a good place for residents to rest and communicate; in a corner of the courtyard, the newly built children's playground is full of children's laughter. These changes not only improve the quality of life of residents, but also make the courtyard a more warm and harmonious community.
During the renovation process, Xiao Li paid special attention to environmental protection and sustainability, using environmentally friendly materials and introducing a rainwater recycling system to ensure that the courtyard house can coexist harmoniously with the natural environment while being modern. Residents praised these environmental protection measures and felt that they were not only renovating a courtyard, but also creating a greener future for future generations.
When the renovation project was coming to an end, the residents of the Siheyuan spontaneously organized a celebration. They prepared a sumptuous meal and invited friends, relatives and other members of the community to share the joy. Xiao Li gave a brief speech at the event, thanking every resident for their efforts and support. His words were full of vision for the future and deep love for the Siheyuan.
With the successful completion of the Siheyuan renovation project, this ancient courtyard has not only been completely renewed in appearance, but also has been given new vitality in spirit. Xiao Li's design concept has been widely recognized by the residents, who have witnessed the harmonious transformation of the Siheyuan from traditional to modern.
The renovated courtyard has become a vibrant cultural community. The newly installed leisure benches beside the pond in the center of the courtyard have become the favorite place for residents to relax in their spare time. In the afternoon sun, the elders play chess and drink tea here, enjoying the quiet time. The children chase and play in the playground, and their laughter adds infinite vitality to the courtyard.
Xiao Li specially designed an open exhibition space in a corner of the courtyard to regularly display residents' handicrafts and photographic works, giving every resident the opportunity to showcase their talents. These exhibitions not only enriched the cultural life of the residents, but also attracted the attention of many tourists, making the courtyard a platform for cultural exchange.
In order to further promote the harmonious development of the community, Xiao Li and the residents jointly launched a "Siheyuan Cultural Festival". During this festival, the residents spontaneously organized various cultural activities, such as traditional handicraft exhibitions, folk performances, community concerts, etc., making the Siheyuan a window to showcase Beijing's traditional culture.
Xiao Li knows that the inheritance of culture requires the injection of fresh blood. Therefore, he cooperated with local schools to open Siheyuan cultural experience courses, so that the younger generation can experience the charm of traditional culture and understand the history and value of Siheyuan. These courses have been warmly welcomed by students and have brought new vitality to Siheyuan.
In every activity in the Siheyuan, Xiao Li never forgets to use his camera to record these precious moments. He believes that these photos are not only a display of the results of the Siheyuan renovation, but also a prospect of a better life in the future.
As time went by, the Siheyuan gradually became a cultural landmark in Beijing, and its reputation spread far and wide, attracting tourists from all over the world. Xiao Li and the residents' efforts have not only given this ancient courtyard a new life physically, but also achieved inheritance and development in spirit.
As the seasons change, the courtyard continues to show its unique charm under the careful care of Xiao Li and the residents. In spring, the flowers and trees in the courtyard bloom, and the fragrance of flowers fills the air, attracting butterflies and bees to fly among the flowers; in summer, the shade of the locust trees provides a cool place for residents to escape the heat; in autumn, the courtyard is covered with fallen leaves, and the golden scenery makes people feel the quietness of the years; in winter, the courtyard is covered with snow, which makes it more peaceful and peaceful. The change of seasons not only gives the courtyard a different style, but also witnesses the rich and colorful life of the residents here and the profound heritage of the community culture. Xiao Li used the camera to record these changes, allowing the story of the courtyard to transcend the limitations of time and be passed on to more people.
