Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

I **《Rebirth of Siheyuan: Brilliant Life》 (Continued 16)** Under the careful carving of He Luo and Lin Yue, Siheyuan is like a shining pearl, exuding unique charm. The introduction of the intelligent guide system has added the brilliance of modern technology to Siheyuan, and also made the experience of tourists more colorful. As the popularity of Siheyuan continues to increase, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to its development. One day, He Luo and Lin Yue were discussing in the yard how to further expand the cultural connotation of Siheyuan. "We can hold some theme activities, such as traditional cultural festivals, art exhibitions, etc., to attract more people to participate." He Luo proposed. Lin Yue nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea. We can invite some well-known artists and cultural scholars to participate to increase the influence of the event." As he was talking, an old man came over. "He Luo, I heard that you have new ideas again? This Siheyuan is really more and more interesting under your leadership." He Luo smiled and replied: "Uncle, we also want to make Siheyuan develop better so that everyone can feel the historical and cultural charm here." So, He Luo and Lin Yue began to prepare for the theme activities. They contacted many artists and cultural scholars and invited them to hold exhibitions and lectures in the Siheyuan. At the same time, they also arranged exquisite exhibition venues in the courtyard and prepared rich cultural activities. In the process of preparation, they encountered some challenges. For example, how to coordinate the display of works by different artists, how to arrange the time and venue of lectures, etc. However, with patience and wisdom, they solved these problems one by one. "Teacher Zhang, your work is very wonderful. We want to put it in the center of the exhibition. What do you think?" Lin Yue discussed the display location of the work with an artist. Teacher Zhang smiled and replied: "Yes, you have arranged it very thoughtfully. I believe this exhibition will be very successful." After a period of intense preparation, the theme event finally kicked off. The Siheyuan became very lively, and tourists came to visit the exhibition and listen to lectures. At a traditional cultural festival, a tourist said with emotion: "The activities here are so rich, which gave me a deeper understanding of traditional culture." Another tourist also nodded and praised: "Yes, the Siheyuan not only has beautiful buildings, but also such a strong cultural atmosphere. It's great." He Luo and Lin Yue listened to the praise of tourists and felt a sense of accomplishment. They know that their efforts have not been in vain. However, there are also some problems hidden behind the success. With the continuous increase in the number of tourists, the environmental pressure of the Siheyuan is also increasing. Some tourists do not pay attention to protecting the environment during the visit, littering, and destroying the neatness and beauty of the Siheyuan. He Luo and Lin Yue decided to take measures to strengthen environmental protection. They organized a team of environmental volunteers to patrol the Siheyuan and remind tourists to protect the environment. At the same time, they also set up more trash cans in the yard and strengthened the publicity of garbage classification. "Hello, everyone, please don't litter and take care of our beautiful Siheyuan together." The volunteers reminded the tourists patiently. Tourists have gradually realized the importance of environmental protection and began to consciously abide by the regulations. In the process of strengthening environmental protection, He Luo and Lin Yue also realized that in order to make the Siheyuan sustainable, it is necessary to cultivate people's environmental awareness. So they decided to carry out environmental education activities in schools and communities to let more people understand the importance of environmental protection. "Students, our Siheyuan is a treasure of history and culture. We must protect its environment and keep it beautiful forever." Lin Yue gave students environmental protection lessons in school. The students listened with great interest and expressed their willingness to contribute to environmental protection. Through a series of environmental protection measures and educational activities, the environment of the Siheyuan has been significantly improved. The environmental awareness of tourists has also been improved, and everyone has worked together for the beauty of the Siheyuan. Under the leadership of He Luo and Lin Yue, the residents of the Siheyuan also actively participated in the development of the Siheyuan. They held cultural activities together and jointly maintained the environment, making the Siheyuan a big family full of love and warmth. One night, He Luo and Lin Yue sat in the yard and looked at the stars. He Luo said with emotion: "Yueyue, we have been together for so many days, and the Siheyuan has become better and better. It all seems like a dream." Lin Yue smiled and said: "This is not a dream, it is the result of our joint efforts. We must continue to work hard to make the brilliant life of the Siheyuan more exciting." In the days to come, He Luo and Lin Yue will continue to work hand in hand and contribute their own strength to the development of the Siheyuan. They believe that as long as everyone works together, the future of the Siheyuan will definitely be better.

** "Rebirth in the Siheyuan: Brilliant Life" (Continued Seventeen)**

The story of the Siheyuan is like a colorful painting, which continues to unfold new chapters in the long river of time. He Luo, Lin Yue and the residents of the Siheyuan use their wisdom and sweat to jointly write this legend full of warmth and hope.

With the in-depth development of environmental education activities, the environment of the courtyard is getting better and better, and tourists are more consciously protecting this beautiful world. However, new challenges are quietly coming.

One day, He Luo was discussing with the management team members how to further improve the tourism quality of Siheyuan. "We have made a lot of efforts, but I think we can work harder on the service details," He Luo said.

Xiao Wang nodded in agreement: "He Luoge is right. For example, we can provide more considerate services in the visitor center, such as free drinking water and charging facilities." Lao Zhang also put forward his own ideas: "We can also add some interactive experience projects to allow tourists to better integrate into the cultural atmosphere of the Siheyuan."

When everyone was discussing heatedly, Lin Yue walked in. "He Luo, I just received a call. A reporter from a travel magazine wants to interview our Siheyuan." He Luo's eyes lit up: "This is a good opportunity! We can prepare well and let more people know about our Siheyuan."

Therefore, He Luo and Lin Yue began to carefully prepare for the interview. They sorted out the development history, special activities and future plans of the Siheyuan, and arranged the reporter's tour route and interview subjects.

When the reporter arrived at the courtyard, he was immediately attracted by the unique charm of the place. "This place is so beautiful! Every corner is full of historical charm and humanistic atmosphere." The reporter exclaimed.

He Luo smiled and led the reporter to visit the Siheyuan, introducing every plant and tree here in detail. "We have been committed to protecting and inheriting the history and culture of the Siheyuan, while also constantly innovating to provide tourists with a better travel experience."

During the interview, the reporter also developed a keen interest in the residents of the Siheyuan. "Why are you willing to work together to protect the Siheyuan?" the reporter asked a resident.

The residents proudly answered: "Because this is our home, we share common memories and emotions. We hope to pass on this beauty and let more people feel the charm of the courtyard house."

After the interview, the reporter expressed his gratitude to He Luo and Lin Yue. "Your story is very exciting, I believe it will move many people. I will pass on the beauty and charm of the Siheyuan to more readers through the magazine."

With the reports in travel magazines, the popularity of Siheyuan has been further improved. More and more tourists come here, and Siheyuan has become more lively.

However, the increase in tourists also brought some management pressure. He Luo and Lin Yue realized that they needed to plan the tourism development of Siheyuan more scientifically and rationally.

They invited a professional tourism planner to inspect the Siheyuan. After carefully observing the layout and surrounding environment of the Siheyuan, the planner made some suggestions. "You can divide it into different functional areas, such as cultural display areas, leisure and entertainment areas, and catering service areas, so that you can better meet the needs of tourists."

He Luo and Lin Yue listened carefully to the planners' suggestions and organized a discussion with the residents. Everyone expressed their opinions and made suggestions for the future of the Siheyuan.

"I think the cultural exhibition area can showcase more traditional skills of old Beijing so that tourists can experience them firsthand," said a resident.

"The leisure and entertainment area can have some traditional games to let everyone experience the fun of life in old Beijing," suggested another resident.

After sufficient discussion and planning, the courtyard began to be divided and constructed into functional areas. During this process, He Luo and Lin Yue always worked personally to ensure that every detail was perfect.

After a period of hard work, the functional areas of the courtyard were completed. Visitors can enjoy various cultural and entertainment activities in different areas and experience the unique charm of old Beijing.

During the development of the Siheyuan, He Luo and Lin Yue never forgot to care about the lives of the residents. They often organized various community activities to enhance the feelings among the residents.

One day, He Luo and Lin Yue organized a food festival in the courtyard, and the residents brought out their own specialties to share with everyone.

"This is the Old Beijing Noodles with Soy Sauce that I made. Please try it." An old lady greeted everyone warmly.

"This is the donkey rolls I made. It tastes delicious." Another resident was not to be outdone.

At the food festival, everyone was laughing and having fun. He Luo and Lin Yue were moved by this warm scene.

The story of the Siheyuan continues. He Luo, Lin Yue and the residents of the Siheyuan will work together to create a better future in this land full of love and hope.

**《Rebirth of Siheyuan: Brilliant Life》 (Continued 18)** The days of Siheyuan are like a melodious movement, playing a moving melody in the flow of time. He Luo and Lin Yue joined hands with the residents to continuously inject new vitality into the development of Siheyuan. The successful holding of the Food Festival made the atmosphere of Siheyuan more warm and harmonious. However, new challenges also came with it. With the continuous increase in the number of tourists, the traffic pressure around Siheyuan has become increasingly prominent. One day, He Luo was discussing traffic problems with several members of the management team in the yard. "Now there are more and more tourists, and the surrounding roads are often congested, which has a great impact on everyone's travel and tourists' experience." He Luo frowned and said. Xiao Wang thought for a moment and suggested: "We can communicate with the transportation department to see if we can add some bus routes or optimize the setting of traffic lights." Lao Zhang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can also set up some temporary parking spaces near the Siheyuan to facilitate tourists to park." He Luo felt that their suggestions made sense, so he decided to take action immediately. He and Lin Yue went to the transportation department together to reflect the traffic conditions around the Siheyuan. In the office of the transportation department, He Luo said sincerely: "Leader, our Siheyuan has a lot of tourists now, but the traffic conditions around it are not very good. I hope you can help think of a solution." Lin Yue also added: "We also hope to provide better traffic conditions for tourists so that they can visit our Siheyuan more conveniently." The leaders of the transportation department listened carefully to their opinions and said that they would study solutions as soon as possible. After a period of investigation and consultation, the transportation department took a series of measures. They added several bus routes to the Siheyuan, optimized the setting of traffic lights, and also designated some temporary parking spaces near the Siheyuan. The implementation of these measures effectively alleviated the traffic pressure around the Siheyuan. After the traffic problem was solved, He Luo and Lin Yue turned their attention to the cultural heritage of the Siheyuan. They felt that although the Siheyuan is very lively now, the inheritance of traditional culture needs to be further explored. One day, they chatted with several old residents in the yard. An old man said with emotion: "We can't lose the traditional culture of Siheyuan. This is our root." He Luo nodded and said, "Uncle, you are right. We have been trying to better pass on the culture of Siheyuan." Lin Yue had an idea and said, "We can set up a traditional culture study group and invite some experts, scholars and old residents to explain the history and culture of Siheyuan to everyone." He Luo's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea! We can let more people understand the traditional culture of Siheyuan and enhance everyone's cultural confidence." So, the traditional culture study group of Siheyuan was formally established. They hold lectures and activities regularly, attracting many residents and tourists to participate. At a lecture, an expert scholar vividly described the architectural style and historical changes of Siheyuan. "The layout of Siheyuan embodies the symmetrical beauty and harmonious beauty in Chinese traditional culture. It is not only a form of architecture, but also a way of life and cultural heritage." The audience listened attentively and asked questions from time to time. A young tourist asked: "Teacher, what is the significance of the traditional culture of Siheyuan in modern society?" The expert and scholar patiently replied: "The traditional culture of Siheyuan contains rich wisdom and value. It can help us better understand the past, cherish the present and look forward to the future." Through the activities of the traditional culture study group, the cultural inheritance of Siheyuan has been further strengthened. He Luo and Lin Yue are also very pleased. They know that their efforts are making the cultural flowers of Siheyuan bloom more brilliantly. However, the development of Siheyuan is not smooth sailing. During a rainstorm, some houses in Siheyuan leaked. He Luo and Lin Yue immediately organized residents to repair them. "Everyone come and help, plug the leaks, and don't let the rain damage our houses." He Luo shouted loudly. The residents responded one after another and rushed over with tools and materials. In the process of repair, everyone worked together to cope with difficulties together. Although the second uncle was old, he was not to be outdone. He climbed onto the roof to help repair the tiles. "This rain is really heavy, but we can't let the courtyard be flooded." The second uncle said breathlessly. The third uncle was also busy on the side. He directed everyone to divide the work reasonably and improve the efficiency of emergency repairs. "Everyone, pay attention, repair the important places first, and then deal with other places." The third uncle said loudly. After several hours of hard work, the leaking place was finally blocked. Although everyone was exhausted, they all had a relieved smile on their faces. This rainstorm made He Luo and Lin Yue realize that the maintenance of the courtyard house needs more attention. They decided to apply for funds from the relevant departments to carry out comprehensive repairs on the courtyard house. In the process of applying for funds, they encountered some difficulties. The staff of the relevant departments expressed doubts about their application, believing that the renovation of the courtyard house would require a lot of funds and the effect might not be guaranteed. He Luo and Lin Yue did not give up. They took a detailed repair plan and renderings and found the leaders of the relevant departments again. "Leader, our Siheyuan is a historical and cultural heritage, and its protection and repair are very important. This renovation can not only solve the current problems, but also lay a solid foundation for the future development of the Siheyuan." He Luo said sincerely. Lin Yue also added: "We have organized many discussions among the residents, and everyone is very supportive of this renovation plan. We believe that as long as everyone works together, we will be able to build a better Siheyuan." The leader was moved by their sincerity and determination and finally approved their application. After the funds were in place, the house renovation project of the Siheyuan was successfully launched. During the renovation process, He Luo and Lin Yue supervised on site every day to ensure the quality of the project. Together with the construction workers, they overcame various difficulties and finally completed the renovation task within the specified time. The renovated Siheyuan has a brand new look, which is more solid and beautiful. The residents expressed their heartfelt gratitude to He Luo and Lin Yue for their efforts. As time goes by, the story of the Siheyuan continues. He Luo, Lin Yue and the residents of the Siheyuan will continue to write their brilliant lives on this land full of historical charm and humanistic feelings.
