Dear readers, I said this:

[Let us slowly uncover that part of the past...]

In 1974, Chun Ye Guan Family (Cheng Ye, northern city):

【The life of the third aunt finally came to an end】

The old man suffered an unprecedented blow at the soul level:

[Becoming more and more taciturn, relying entirely on memory to get through life]

Guanjia Siheyuan is far away from Chunye City, and the crops and fields are staggered:

[Birds sing and fragrant flowers are pastoral, and the administration is under the jurisdiction of Chun Ye, and it is still a quiet place until now. According to regulations, it belongs to the three-entrance courtyard, with the black lacquered and bright gate of the southeast corner of the courtyard (the main entrance, also called the "home gate")]

Brass sunflower-shaped door knocker, well preserved:

[The knocking door is like a copper straw hat. Feng Shui master ordered that no animal heads should be used]

2 drum stones, 3 steps, enter the house:

[The design of the bracket arch on the roof of the house door is very decent, and you can imagine it when understanding ancient architecture. Go through the threshold, a relatively dark door hole is deeper, and square bricks are paved. Feng Shui master ordered that you can hold drum stones outside the house door, and no stone lions can be used, etc.]

Through the door, deep into a small yard:

[It is called the outer courtyard, with square bricks paving. The master instructed that an independent outer courtyard is very important. A row of 2 "conciers" must be left, similar to the communication room of the unit and enterprise, with doors and windows facing north, and this is the southeast corner of the entire courtyard]

The same master commanded:

[In addition to separating the outer courtyard and the first entrance courtyard, there should be no other eye-blocking walls on the moon gate, which means that the outer courtyard must be bright and cannot be divided into small courtyards. To be more blunt, it is not allowed to change the layout in private]

Two independent concierges:

[After all, two sets of window doors open to the north. With this layout, the doorman's east-west length must be increased, otherwise, how can two sets of independent doors and windows be installed]

In this way, the east and west length of the entire courtyard must be increased:

[The length of the north and south must also be increased. Anyway, it is bright and bright, which is still a pleasure]

The walls are opened inside the door:

[The so-called two rooms are actually 1 large room, next to the door, and a large window frame is opened, and the window opens to the west. If the door of the house is locked on weekdays, this window is basically open. Considering the darkness of the south room, it is for ventilation. Through this window that opens to the west, you can see any person entering and exiting the house door, similar to the window of the communication room.

The doorman has another window facing north, which is basically open. The principle is the same. Instead of opening up the trouble, it was built directly into one room? The master disagreed, and one room must be divided into 2. Mr. Guan knew the reason and refused to say it]

Since the day of its completion, no servants have been hired. The so-called concierge,:

[Always be used as a storage room, make some wooden racks with field characters, about 30 cm high, potatoes, cabbage, rice, corn, dried peppers... etc. The reason why the wooden racks are considered to be humid in the south house]

The master ordered two doormen to stay:

[The inner wall is opened, and only the door is covered, and no extra door is installed, but the food is hidden. The specific reason is very secretive. After all the speculations of later generations, they were scolded by Mr. Guan, and no one talked too much.]

Standing in place in the outer courtyard and looking to the left (so-called left means looking to the west, the courtyards all face north and south):

[1 moon gate, which means a circular door hole is used to dig a round door hole on the wall. The audience who have been to the park and the old Chinese gardens should have an impression, a classic symbol of traditional Chinese architecture and culture]

Go straight westward and pass the moon gate:

[This is called the first courtyard, with square bricks paved, and a row of 4 southern rooms, with doors and windows facing north, and the lighting is not good, and it is also called the "reversing room". The south wall of the room is the entire courtyard, and anyone who has lived in the Sihe Courtyard can understand it immediately. If someone visits and it is inconvenient to invite a man who enters the inner house, he will be here to receive it, drink tea, chat, eat, or be artistic and play music and sing]

I don’t consider the concierge, just talk about 4 southern rooms in a row, which is more straightforward:

[If every 2 rooms are 1 group, it should be 2 groups, right? One of them is a kitchen, which belongs to the southwest corner of the entire courtyard]

Look at the kitchen again:

[The appearance seems independent, after all, two sets of window doors are actually a large room that opens the walls, and the inner part is only the doorway, and there are no extra doors.

There are 2 rooms in one group, right? The kitchen group is located on the west wall of the Sihe Courtyard, and the room is located on the west wall of the Sihe Courtyard. A very large window is opened on the west wall of the room to ventilate the kitchen.

Keep this distance, and the same square bricks are used to pave the floor, and you must keep it clean and tidy for many years. You can place three large water tanks, and the water tank has a cover. This is the southwest corner of the courtyard. Because there is also the west wall of the courtyard as a cover, you don’t have to worry about any idle people crawling into the kitchen. Therefore, most of the time, keep the windows open and follow the master’s instructions.

Follow the instructions of the master:

[The entire courtyard cannot be built in a toilet, so there is no discussion. When the elderly are in the hospital, the southwest corner of the entire courtyard is not much, but it is indeed subversive]

What to do when going to the toilet:

[The master told me to go outside to cover it, even if it is simple. No matter how rainy it is, it is hail, no matter how lazy it is, it is not allowed]

This is strictly followed by the Guan family:

[Only the elders were unable to move before their death, the younger generation took the chamber pot, served the toilet, quickly took it out of the yard and poured it out, and washed it]

The overall layout is extremely unique:

【2 concierges, 4 southern rooms, a total of 6 rooms】

6 rooms in the open:

【Concierge, kitchen, actual connection】

Is it counted as 6 or 4:

[You have me, I have you. In the traditional courtyard regulations, it is indeed a mystery. It is said that Mr. A lot of analysis]

The courtyard must behave in a proper manner:

[Since the layout is unique, all rooms can only be large or small, and must be combined with the overall beauty. It must be in this square frame]

Large frame of the entire courtyard wall:

【No matter how you arrange it, you cannot have polygons, the master’s instructions】

To put it bluntly:

[If you look down from the air and look square, what you need is dignified demeanor, this is where Chinese culture is located]

There are special circumstances and many families who have no relatives:

[Living in the courtyard of the elderly together, changing the original layout privately, and even presenting polygons is not within our discussion]

After saying something off topic, press not to mention:

【Return to Guanjia Sihe Courtyard again, enter the hospital first】

Stand in place and look north:

[I saw a wall, and there was a door in the middle of the wall. The so-called "two gates" in the elderly are located in the middle line of the entire courtyard]

Passing two doors:

[One screen wall, clay fired blue bricks, simple and simple, without long-winded decoration]

The so-called screen wall, also known as the screen wall, was called Xiao Wall in ancient times. The ancients believed in supernatural power:

[If a lonely ghost flew in, it would use it as a shock. It would also block the view. For example, if the two doors are open, outsiders would not see the inner house, which would set off the momentum]

During the Republic of China, the units of weights and measures were quite chaotic:

[In 1928, in the 17th year of the Republic of China, the government hoped to unify the weights and measures. Considering the actual situation, only international units can use the old weights and measures in a mixed manner, and do it step by step]

Policies belong to policies, and the people have their own set of rules and regulations:

【It's really complicated, modern people are absolutely confused】

For example, buying some cloth in the store to improve your life:

[Article rule cut rule, 1 foot ≈ 36.35 cm]

If you have a foundation at home, you will have a house.

[Article rulemaking rulemaking rule, 1 foot ≈ 28.34 cm]

Feng Shui masters spent their time in big cities in their early years:

[Recognize the text and write, and once did a common job for foreign business companies, and met Mr. Guan's friend. He didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but he resigned for no reason and returned home]

Before the construction started, the master and the old man were in the house:

【For two days, what to study specifically, no one will know again】

Modern unit measurement screen wall:

[High 2 meters 36, width 3 meters. Take the middle height, engrave four large regular characters in regular script from right to left: Fengtai Heart Lamp]

Specific meaning:

[Old Master Guan never says it, no one will know about it again]

The second entrance to the courtyard where the screen wall is located:

[Family living area, square brick paved floor. It is surrounded by the entire courtyard with four rooms in a row, with doors and windows facing east]

Near the east wall of the entire courtyard:

【4 rooms in one row of east wings, doors and windows open westward】

According to the regulations of China's courtyard houses, for the elderly:

[Usually, 33 wing rooms, 55 are already very awesome, unless the high-ranking officials are prominent, maybe 77,99]

But it must be clear that people who can afford to build houses in the elderly:
