As we all know, the screen is a common furniture used for windproof in traditional buildings in China, which is also called "screen its wind". As an important part of traditional furniture, the screen has a long history.
As early as three thousand years ago, the screen appeared as a special instrument for the emperor, which is a symbol of fame and power. After continuous evolution, the screen derived the functions of windbreak, partition, concealment, etc., and played the role of embellishing the environment and beautifying the space, so that it has been handed down to the present day for a long time, and even derived a variety of forms of expression It becomes an integral part of Chinese style home decoration, presenting the beauty of harmony and tranquility.
Around the mahogany screen, is the main part of the villa living room, its area is quite large, at least more than 100 square meters, and in the center of the living room, there is a five meter long and one meter wide tea table.
The tea table is full of ancient flavor. It should be carved directly from the whole wood. It is carved with lotus water and carp playing among lotus leaves with modern technology. It's very skillful. Moreover, the tea cooking utensils on the tea table are also placed neatly.
You don't have to think about it. This tea table is probably specially made by Qin Huan for Zhang Zhiyan. Although Qin Huan loves tea, he himself is a big old man. He can't cook tea except he can drink it. He can't get used to the tea cooked by others. He only likes the tea cooked by Zhang Zhiyan, so he just keeps a tea set at home to make it convenient for Zhang Zhiyan to cook tea for him.
Of course, no matter Zhang Zhiyan or Qin Huan, they don't have much spare time to cook tea. This tea table has been bought for several years, but it has been used for less than five times. It's just used as a decoration. But this doesn't hinder Qin Huan's enthusiasm for the tea table, because for him, everything that can be bought with money is worthless.
Moving his eyes away from the tea table, Lin Xi continued to look around the living room. He saw that the walls around the living room were all inlaid with a kind of purple wood. The color of that kind of purple wood is very elegant, which gives people a sense of nobility and makes people feel calm unconsciously.
The most important thing is that the purple wood will send out a faint fragrance, which fills the air of the living room. It smells better than the sandalwood specially made, as if it can calm people's mind.
If Lin Xi is right, the purple wood should be red sandalwood. Its wood is hard and dense, and its heartwood is red. It is an excellent material for architecture, musical instruments and furniture. Even resin and wood can be used as medicine.
As we all know, Chinese people have loved red sandalwood since ancient times. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, red sandalwood was not only a good material for shaft and palace furniture, but also a top-level furniture material. For example, in the treasure house of Japan's Nara Zhenghua courtyard, there are several black sandalwood artifacts awarded to the emperor by the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, China has been using it since the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties Black sandalwood and red sandalwood are used to make furniture and handicrafts. The Tang Dynasty is an important period for Chinese furniture to mature, which is a major leap in the history of furniture development.
China's furniture art has a long history of development. In its long development process, it has formed a unique charm of Chinese furniture characterized by "beautiful materials and exquisite workmanship".
Youdao is "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools". China's traditional furniture is the product of skillful craftsman's ingenious ideas and beautiful materials. Among China's traditional furniture, red sandalwood furniture is a kind of furniture with unique characteristics.
In fact, red sandalwood has been known for a long time. The earliest record of "sandalwood" in ancient China can be found in the book of songs, the book of sandalwood, which is called "cutting sandalwood in Kankan, drying the river". However, because of geographical factors, red sandalwood does not grow much in China.
Because of the slow growth of red sandalwood, it can't be made into wood for hundreds of years, and it's extremely difficult to get large materials. Moreover, the wood is hard and dense, which is suitable for carving all kinds of exquisite patterns. The texture is fine and floating, and it changes endlessly. Especially its deep tone, it appears stable, generous and beautiful. Therefore, it is regarded as the best of wood and enjoys the reputation of "one inch of red sandalwood, one inch of gold".
Although the name of red sandalwood first appeared in the literature of Jin Dynasty, the records about the utensils made of red sandalwood were only found in the Tang Dynasty. For example, Meng Haoran's "Liangzhou Ci" in the fourth volume of Tang Dynasty poetry said that "mixed with red sandalwood gold filigree, the sound of pipa came into the clouds". Moreover, according to the research of historical materials, the earliest use of red sandalwood was also in the Tang Dynasty.
It is worth mentioning that red sandalwood can be divided into big leaf red sandalwood and small leaf red sandalwood, especially small leaf red sandalwood, which has been mature for 800 years, grows very slowly, and has ten sandalwood and nine holes, and the timber yield is very low, so its price is extremely expensive.
Moreover, in ancient China, Pterocarpus microphylla was the king's wood, and even princes and ministers were not qualified to own it. Its expensive value can be imagined. It is precisely because of the scarcity of quantity and materials that the market price of Pterocarpus microphylla has increased by more than 20% in recent years. This is only the value of the wood itself, not the labor cost.
There is also an allusion about red sandalwood, which is the story of Wu Zetian making a red sandalwood coffin to bury a parrot: it is said that Wu Zetian keeps a white parrot, named Xueyi. This parrot is not only intelligent and sensitive, but also can recite the Heart Sutra.
Wu Zetian was very fond of the parrot and kept it in a cage made of gold. She couldn't leave every day. One day, Wu Zetian joked: "as long as the parrot can write poems to get away, I will let it out of the cage."White parrot understand people's words, immediately cheered, less than a moment on chanting: "haggard autumn plume to bald Jin, don't come to Longshu when deep. If you open the cage and put a girl in snow, you often recite "Nanwu Guanyin".
Wu Zetian was very satisfied with the poem and kept her promise. She opened the cage and let the parrot go. But soon, the parrot died inexplicably. Wu Zetian was saddened by the news. Then she made a coffin out of red sandalwood and buried the white parrot in the back yard.
It can be seen that the red sandalwood used on the walls around the living room is no less than ten million yuan. It can be said that every inch of land is worth every inch of money. However, Lin Xi is shocked in his heart and refreshes his understanding of the rich again. Don't the rich take money as money?
On those sandalwood walls, there are specially designed display cabinets, in which all kinds of objects are displayed. Without exception, they are all real antiques. Whether it's pottery or porcelain, or bronze and jade, or other old objects, there are dozens of them. Lin Xi even saw one thing that Qin Huan bought from him Zunzhunti Guanyin.
It is obvious that the living room has undoubtedly become a small collection hall. All the old objects collected in it have been collected by Qin Huan over the years. Lin Xi was so impressed that he even thought in his heart, "is Qin Huan so rich that he dares to make the living room the same as the collection hall that he is not afraid of being stolen?"
In fact, Lin Xi didn't know that his idea was just wishful thinking. Depending on the security situation of the villas, not to mention the thieves can't get in, even if they come in, they can't get out. If the security guard in charge of security is willing, even the flies can't fly in.
What's more, Qin Huan's two pure breed Tibetan Mastiffs in the courtyard are not just for fun. You should know that those two days the Tibetan mastiff had grown up, and its combat effectiveness was no less than that of the lions and tigers. When the thief came in, he had to see if he had any life to go out.
Instead of looking at the objects on the wall, Lin Xi continued to inspect the living room. He found that in addition to the most prominent tea table, other furnishings in the living room were also classical. However, the craftsmanship of the furniture was very obvious, and it lacked the sense of time precipitation. Therefore, even if the materials were precious and all were made of red sandalwood, he always felt the lack of harmony.
But even so, the living room is still antique. From entering the living room, it seems that every step is a backward flow of time. When you walk into the living room, you not only don't have any modern flavor, but also seem to go back to the old times hundreds of years ago. You can sit and watch the clouds roll and the dawn, and laugh and smell the flowers bloom and fall.
