Another set of unstoppable floral pattern partition doors is also a craft of Zhejiang.
This partition door is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower.
The upper part is the hollow carving of Baoxianghua.
The lower part is wooden feet and waistboard. The feet are simple and have no carving decoration. A pane surrounded by continuous complex lines is carved on the waistboard, and the heart of the grid carves the traditional four gentlemen among flowers, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
If you look closely at the pane surrounding the flowers, you will find that it is composed of a complex and unusual curved but uninterrupted "one stroke" line, which tests the skill of carving.
However, what is even more amazing is the central part.
The stone decoration in the center of the grid is made of Ya'an stone produced in Shuzhong. This stone has a variety of colors and rich textures. It looks like black and white marble, but it is colorful. The picture can be imagined by the viewer and is full of natural interest.
However, what is even more amazing is that the "pane" that wraps these stone slabs is also composed of uninterrupted "one stroke" lines. However, this time it is not likely to be carving, but is made of curved wood. Because the workmanship is extremely delicate, there is still no trace of cracks after a hundred years, just like a natural occurrence.
It is really a skillful thing, so this pane that seems to be plated with long noodles is called "pull".
The four gentlemen in the flowers are elegant, arrogant, leisurely, and contemptuous, and are deeply loved by literati and poets of all generations. With the "unable to pull" panes and natural paintings, Ya'an stones, and the partition doors are far taller than the windows. Therefore, these four doors are much higher than the ten sets of windows just now, in terms of the preciousness of artistic achievements and the value of cultural relics.
"Who has lost his mind and sold all such items!" Zhou Zhi shook his head: "Even if he is an amateur, no matter who comes this thing, you can tell at a glance that it is a good thing!"
"Well, you should hold it in your hands and leave it for you to pick up the bargain, right?" Mr. Ma rolled his eyes while rolling: "Look at things just by looking at them. Why do you have such a broken mouth?"
Lin Wanqiu laughed secretly: "The most important thing is to send it to the auction house. Everyone bids for competition, and they are always indifferent!"
"Tsk!" Now Ma Ye and Zhou Zhi were not happy: "This way, there is no fun in finding a bargain!"
In addition to the two-piece combination just now, there are many good things here, such as Tielli Muquedi from Huizhou.
The croaker is installed at the intersection of beams and columns of ancient buildings, extending from the columns, and the upper part is connected to the beams or lintels, which not only provides support for the mechanical structure, but also plays a role in decorative and beautification.
The ancient Chinese architecture is majestic and magnificent, carrying history and the wisdom of the Chinese. And its beauty is a considerable part of it, reflected in the exquisiteness and elaboration of the details.
At the junction of the most common beams and columns and beams, they will be decorated with very fine carvings.
The substitute and cow legs are indispensable elements of expression.
Both are structures used to strengthen the support of buildings, but many people will confuse cow leg and cow leg, but in fact both are important components in ancient Chinese buildings. However, cow leg is generally a wooden carved component under the beam, which is used to shorten the span of the beam and rafters to enhance their load, while reducing the downward shear force at the junction of beams and columns, and preventing the angle tilt between horizontal and vertical structures; while cow leg is basically a wooden carved component under the eaves, which mainly plays a role in supporting the loading of wood outside the building, the bearing force between the eaves and purlins.
Because of different functions, a pillar has only one cow leg, but if there is a substitute, it must be a pair of shaped like a lark spreading its wings, so it is named.
The substitute of this collection of Ma Ye is made of iron wood. Tieli wood is a type of hardwood, with iron color. Some of the textures are slightly similar to wenge wood and obvious mane eyes. Because it is commonly used as large materials, it was used as beams by folk houses in Guangdong in ancient times. The patterns are carved dragons, lifelike. Although the bristle eyes are obvious, they are the hardest and most powerful among domestic woods, so ironwood generally replaces mahogany for furniture and building components.
This pair of quilts was in the late Ming Dynasty. Over the years, no matter how many bristles have been filled, and with extremely high hardness, it has been wrapped with a layer of paint. Perhaps it was much worse than the previous two rosewood utensils when they were just made. However, the bonus of time makes it look better than the rosewood door leaf now.
"This thing shouldn't be old?" Zhou Zhi was a little confused: "Looking at the patina and carvings, it's late Ming Dynasty, but if it's late Ming Dynasty, if it dares to use the Chi pattern as a substitute, who would have?"
There were many patterns similar to dragons in ancient times, such as pythons, dragons, kui, dragons, flying fish, white ze, etc.
Dragons have five claws, which were only used by emperors in ancient times. Then, the dragon with four claws and three claws should be called pythons.
The dragon is actually similar to a dragon, also called a "ceratopsaurus", but its body is relatively slender.
Kuilong's ears and tail are like flower branches with antique patterns.
Chi is a hornless dragon.
The flying fish has two legs, the front legs are fins, and a fish tail is added.
Bai Ze has a dragon's head, but his body is not like a reptile, but more like a beast.

There are many patterns that have strict hierarchical regulations when used in feudal dynasties. Wherever they dare to use Chi will generally be the ancestral temples of important royal families or high-ranking officials, which ordinary people cannot use.
"It was an old ancestral hall in central Zhejiang that was demolished. It's a pity that the tiles of the ancestral hall had been destroyed at that time. It was a long time when the wind and rain had been blowing for many years. This couple could be seen intact." Mr. Ma sighed regretfully when he talked about this: "If I could go a few years earlier, I might have found more good items."
"I won't talk about that anymore, come and see this."
"This is still in the late Ming style, with begonia-shaped mats and brocade windows." Lin Wanqiu said: "But the actual era should not have arrived yet. What do you think of the elbow?"
"The style is indeed from the late Ming Dynasty. There are similar windows in Washington in Stephen Chow's "Tang Bohu Points of Autumn Fragrance". However, although this window is delicate and grand, it is a bit solemn and rigorous, and it loses its lively and lively atmosphere, so it should be imitated in the early days." Zhou Zhi looked at the window and said, "The reason why Ma asked us to see it is because of its design?"
"The design is indeed a bit clever." Lin Wanqiu nodded and said, "The plug-in of this window is based on long wooden parts as the basic element. It abandons the mortise and tenon structure that traditional wood works favorite, but connects with 90-degree or 60-degree angle notches to form a pattern unit. It is really amazing to maintain the strength of the structure by pressing each other!"
"Because the plug-in main body is too monotonous, it is still decorated in the lattice to make up for the aesthetic shortcomings." Zhou Zhi nodded and said here, when he suddenly found a special place: "No!"
"What's wrong?"
"Master Ma is so proud of this window, not what we just said." Zhou Zhi reached out and touched the grid in the pane: "Damn! These grids are all bright tiles made of clam shells!" (End of this chapter)
