Chapter 78 The Beauty of Symmetry

When the night came, the four sat in the airport, drinking coffee while waiting to board the plane.

the next day.In the sweltering weather, they came to Wood City.

Wooden City is a place famous for producing wood.Although it is called Wooden City, it is not a very big place.Located in the mountains.Perhaps it is because we are far away from the impetuousness and prosperity of the metropolis that many precious towering trees grow in this aura-filled place.

Fan Tong wiped the sweat off his forehead as he walked.Occasionally, a gust of cool wind blew, making him feel suddenly cold again.In this way, we continue to experience the process of wet and dry, dry and wet.They finally found the hotel they had booked online.

Most of the buildings here are made of wood, and some old buildings have hundreds of thousands of histories, and the hotel they stayed in also has classical-style wooden furniture everywhere.All the tables, chairs, benches, dressers and beds in the house are made of solid wood.There is a nice woody smell as soon as you enter the room.The boss was hospitable and kind, and gave everyone a small wooden pendant, and specially gave Liang Shuang a small wooden comb to comb her long hair.

This time, I won this place in the lottery and settled on a place to live, and everything else came after I did some homework on the spur of the moment.Not doing homework or planning before traveling is actually a good choice, which makes people relax a lot.There will always be some special unexpected surprises or shocks accompanying them.After all, there are not only beautiful scenery during the journey, but also countless mosquito bags and bad stomachs.But this still can't stop their footsteps, after all, it is necessary to have the courage to take risks when embarking on a journey.Forget all the displeasure and all the past.To find a new self.

The ancient wooden city was a purchasing area dedicated to the royal family.Most of the exquisite wooden hairpins on the beams of the house and the heads of the concubines came from here.

It gives people a very neat feeling, probably because the wooden buildings and wooden furniture here are neat, stable and symmetrical.So I feel that this place is quite suitable for some obsessive-compulsive disorder.Because there are symmetrical houses, symmetrical carvings, symmetrical tables and chairs everywhere.Everything is in order.I saw a lot of messy mix-and-match styles, and suddenly I saw so many repetitive aesthetics.The neat and regular streets and houses are quite comfortable.

Under the night, the breeze is blowing, above a tall building with ancient architectural style.A man in a fine and expensive suit sat alone by the window.Holding a glass of red wine, the slender fingers circled the wine glass and kept shaking it in one direction.

He stroked his thin-rimmed glasses, looking at the star-studded woods in the distance, a trace of loneliness flashed across his brows and eyes.He seemed out of place with the place, yet blended in.Both outstanding and harmonious.

In the noisy and laughing voices of the guests, he seemed to come from another world.The night in Mucheng was both warm and cold to him.

"Let's go shopping in the local antique street tomorrow." Liang Shuang sat on the sofa and ate potato chips.

"It's not good to eat too many potato chips, let's drink a cup of scented tea to relieve the tiredness." Fan Yanxuan thoughtfully handed over a cup of tea that was steaming slowly and exuding a faint floral fragrance.

"Your reward." Liang Shuang handed the potato chips to Fan Yanxuan.

"Antique Street. It sounds good, but Xiao Shuang, every time you look at antiques, you are so sure. Have you really never missed it?" Fan Tong sat next to Liang Shuang and asked.

This question made the other two look at Liang Shuang.

Xiao Shuang calmly blew on the scented tea in his hand, and the petals floated up and down in the cup.She took a sip and said, "Do you want to know?" Both Fan Tong and Fan Yanxuan nodded quickly, and even Qin Yejue put down the book in his hand to wait for her answer.

Liang Shuang cleared his throat, "There is a matter of seeing the goods wrongly. I can say...[-] out of [-]."

"Oh..." The Fan siblings breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Tong put his arms around Liang Shuang's shoulders, and said, "Xiao Shuang, you are very good. If you can spot it once out of ten times, it is pretty good."

Liang Shuang's eyes slanted, "You're wrong. What I said is that you can get it right once or twice out of ten times."

"Ah!" Liang Shuang stuffed Fan Tong's mouth with a bright red apple into it.

"Then how sure are you every time you buy antiques? It's over! We must have bought a lot of fakes, and we've lost a lot!" Fan Tong slumped on the sofa while eating an apple with a look of lovelessness.

"You can't say that. Like those expensive ones, I'm not more than [-]% sure. I won't let you buy them. And those goods, I have been observing them for a long time, and sometimes I will call Ask the master!" Liang Shuang shot back unconvinced.

"Since I bought it, I will pay the tuition fee." Qin Yejue sat aside and continued to read the book.

"Antiques are things like this. They need to be accumulated through actual experience. It's useless to rely on theories just by reading books. I have come into contact with a lot along the way, so now I have a much stronger eye for seeing goods than before. The last time the master They all praise me for my progress." Liang Shuang looked arrogant.

"En. I think what Xiao Shuang said makes sense." Fan Yanxuan echoed.

"Xiao Shuang, I really admire you so much. I really admire you for being able to drag out a person like my sister who fell into Qian's eye."

"You're wrong." Liang Shuang looked at Fan Tong with a smirk.

Fan Tongyi had a question mark on his face.

"I didn't fish your sister out of the money eye. We fell into the money eye together." After speaking, Liang Shuang lay back and fell on Fan Yanxuan's lap, showing her affection proudly.

the next day.Early in the morning, a few people took advantage of the cool weather and went out for a walk.Sitting on a small wooden bench by the street for breakfast, I asked the owner where the Antique Street was.Just took a walk to the antique street not far away.

Call it Antique Street.It's like a furniture city.There are several small wooden beds on both sides of the road, and various antiques are placed on the wooden beds.There are also some new gadgets.Such as hairpins, bracelets and rings.

Wood carvings with different expressions are lined up in order from large to small.There are also quirky wooden dumbbells and antique telephones.Even the abacus and the clock were put up.Inside the store are large furniture made of various woods, including a pair of armchairs made of ash, and a low stool.There was also a round table in walnut, a pair of bookcases in pine, and a huge mahogany screen.Of course, there are also a few other miscellaneous antiques, such as the three-color porcelain Avalokitesvara statue from the Ming Dynasty, the jade bracelet with floating flowers from the Qing Dynasty, and the blue-and-white plum vase with lotus patterns in the Yuan Dynasty.But obviously they can only be used as decoration under this pile of antique wood.

Entering the inner room, the boss turned on the light.The soft light shines on these antiques that have gone through thousands of years, and they quietly tell stories belonging to that era.

A huge Buddha statue sits in the center.A faint smile reveals inviolable solemnity and serenity.Between bright and dark, it seems to have returned to that time.In the blink of an eye, everything was empty again.

As the boss narrated one by one, they were immersed in the world of wood, looking at the ancient objects handed down one by one.From the traces above, we can most intuitively understand the vicissitudes of history.After thousands of years, they are still here leisurely, left generation after generation, and passed away generation after generation.

Looking at the precise and symmetrical ancient objects, one has to sigh that in such an era, there can be such ingenious craftsmanship and amazing wisdom.Simple symmetrical pattern, generous and concise.The intricate and symmetrical carvings are gorgeous and gorgeous.After shopping the entire street, several people had some gadgets in their hands.

Liang Shuang bought two bracelets and a hairpin.Fan Tong bought a rattle.Qin Yejue bought a wooden dagger.Fan Yanxuan even bought a wooden folding abacus.

"I said sister, can you use an abacus?" Fan Tong shook the rattle.

"No. I just look good."

"It really fits your personal image." Fan Tong and Liang Shuang both laughed.

Ready to find a place to rest.Fan Yanxuan saw a special shop.Why do you say it is special?Because this is the only ancient asymmetric architectural style on this street.

Its door turned out to be two completely different periods and doors of different woods that were disassembled and spliced ​​together.

Liang Shuang walked to the door and sighed, "The architectural style of this store looks like a coquettish cheap. I like it, hehehe." Liang Shuang was the first to go in, and found that the inside was indeed different from other antique furniture stores.The things in this store are of different styles, and the appreciation is much stronger than the ones I just entered a few times.

Sure enough, the owner is a young man.He quit his [-]-to-[-] job to open the store by himself.

The owner said he liked the feeling of taking a break from his busy schedule.Besides running such a shop, he also likes to carve some small wood sculptures himself.All the sawdust is used to grow the flowers and plants in the yard.In addition to sawdust, he also uses shavings to make shaving water.The ancient name is also called sticky head tree. After it is made, it will be given to the neighbors.Generally speaking, he is a person who knows how to make the best use of everything.

After the owner knew they were from other places.Invite them to the side of the tea table.According to the owner, this tea table was made by himself. It was originally the root of an old tree.After he bought it, he made it what it is now.

He made a pot of tea for them and chatted.

After chatting, the shopkeeper mentioned that the treasure of his shop is the Babu bed.

This babu bed is also called eight-step bed and Qiangong step bed.It is the big man in the furniture of the Han nationality in the past dynasties.Somewhat similar to a canopy bed.But it's a lot more complicated than a canopy bed.It is also larger in size.

The so-called Qiangong refers to the fact that it usually takes about three or four years to make a Babu bed.This shows how time-consuming and labor-intensive the workmanship of a stepping bed is.

From the selection of wood to the determination of craftsmen and carving patterns, it is almost perfect and demanding.So at that time, only very rich and big families could afford it, and ordinary rich people could only stay away from it.The richer the family, the more luxurious the craftsmanship and size of the babu bed, and there are even signs of comparing each other's babu beds with more exquisiteness.Later, it developed that the masters and craftsmen of the family should worship ancestors and gods devoutly before starting work, in order to pray for more children and blessings in the family.Enough to see the stepping bed.In the later stage, it is not just a bed for sleeping.It also represents the status, wealth and status of these people.

"Wow! It must be very expensive." Fan Tong sighed.

"That's natural." The owner smiled and poured the tea into the cup slowly.

"Can we take a look?" Liang Shuang became interested.

"This is my private collection, it's a bit inconvenient." The shop owner declined Liang Shuang's request.

Under Liang Shuang's constant torment, the owner finally agreed to take them to see the so-called babu bed.

But before going in, the owner said seriously, "This bed. Don't touch it, just take a look."

"Don't worry. We won't break it." Liang Shuang smiled.

The shopkeeper laughed after hearing this, "It's not because I'm afraid that you will break it, but because I'm afraid that you will be injured."
