technical type

Grandpa Sun didn't get too entangled in this issue, and soon told Ji Mo about the building system, which can be regarded as a template, for example, what kind of houses are there, there are several specifications to choose from, what Simple, stylish, luxurious, different specifications are different standard templates, all you need to do is to nest some special changes that meet the needs of the host family on this template.

For example, if it is a house with a small family and a daughter, you can consider adding a beautiful show building on the basis of a certain template. At the same time, there is a small garden where you can enjoy the scenery and entertain guests. When friends come, There is also a place to sit, drink tea and enjoy the flowers.

If the host family has a large population and many children, it is necessary to consider the layout of the room. You can squeeze some of the rooms originally prepared for the servants, move them to the corner, and build a few more spacious and bright rooms. , convenient for living.

As a builder, we only focus on the big aspects in terms of personalized considerations, that is, the aspects that they think are more important, and the small details, such as the personality of the host, whether an additional study room is needed, etc., are not necessary. They figured it out.

Regardless of design, construction, or home decoration, this is generally the case.

All the things that can be presented on the outside can be considered when building, but when it comes to the interior of the room, what kind of floor tiles, what kind of beds, what kind of curtains, etc., are not complicated by the builder at all. part of it.

Mainly, functional things are more important, such as housing, it is necessary to consider what kind of front yard and backyard the people living in the house need, and make living as convenient as possible.

But if it is really inconvenient to live in, for the sake of a good-looking environment, this small part of leftovers will be sacrificed.

Taking a city as an example, the amazing prosperity is often only a part, and the gap between the rich and the poor is reflected in all aspects. Could it be that at the beginning of the city's construction, the builder considered how many rich people would live here and how many poor people would live here? Here, what distinction needs to be made between the houses of the rich and the poor?

No, this is not something that architects need to consider.

"First set the center."

Selecting a site for building a city may be a point on the map. In reality, the location of the city and the nearby traffic conditions will be considered to delineate the approximate size of the city, and then according to Feng Shui, Measure the surrounding area with a certain auspicious number, and consider how to apply the template of a city here without changing the large-scale terrain.

After that, it is not to build the wall immediately, but to fix the center point and re-measure where the center point is based on the current delineated range.

This measurement is much easier, a north-south line, an east-west line, and the point where the two lines intersect is the center point.

In terms of feng shui, this central point will either be built into the government office, or the drum tower and bell tower, or else it will be vacated directly, just like a central square. In terms of areas, each area is separated by a street.

"Four gates will be determined next time."

The four gates, that is, the four images, "response the earth to the sky", are located in the center of the four walls, and each gate can lead directly to the center.

The specific positions of these five points have been determined, and several areas can be planned below.

When actually building a city, there must be a picture in mind, a picture on paper, and even on the ground, according to the plan, first draw a ditch, and implement the thoughts in the heart, draw on the paper, and implement them on the ground. Let the real construction craftsmen be able to understand what each piece is made of.

This kind of overall planning ability is a test of the builder's skills. Some people think that the city they built may be considered a spectacle if they are unsuccessful, but in the eyes of a builder like Grandpa Sun. , It's ridiculous.

The most famous one is Yuancheng.

The ancients believed in a round sky and a round place, and they also paid attention to the need for "circle outside and square inside". Basically, all cities are built according to the square. Of course, this square may not be so regular. There are also rectangles based on squares. , more irregular trapezoids and the like.

All in all, there are still four corners.

This is not the case with Yuancheng.

Among the city wall structures that commonly use three-component clay, Yuancheng is also a rare city wall made of stone. Just like its name, the city wall is round.

This point, after Grandpa Sun explained it in detail, Ji Mo felt that it was the architect's ingenuity.

The location of Yuancheng is a place similar to that of the Northwest. There are many winds and sand, and there are occasional storms. When there is a big storm, the flying sand and rocks will cause damage if you touch it.

Many of the local earthen castles are circular structures, which can minimize the impact during storms. Even if they are not round, the edges will be rounded over time.

The builder took into account the wind and sand when building the city, so he adopted that rare round shape on the city wall, which has a sense of beauty and a bit of exotic style. The final result is not bad, just for grandpa grandpa. The more old-fashioned architects don't like it.

Ji Mo had a different idea in his heart, but he didn't express his praise, but listened silently. It has to be said that the reason for Grandpa Sun's dislike is quite correct.

This problem can be evolved into a mathematical problem, the same diameter, square or circle, which area is larger?

Secondly, among the square and circular areas, how can the area be used more effectively?That is, what kind of residence is more applicable and at the same time easier for people to distinguish their orientation?

Then, which one is more difficult to build, a square or a circle?

Then, which one is more difficult to maintain, a square or a circle?

Combining the answers to these questions, we can understand why Grandpa Sun doesn’t like Yuancheng anymore. It may be beautiful, it may be good-looking, it may be very fresh, and it has a certain sense of innovation, but for most people, this The convenience of the city is far inferior to those of the Fangcheng.

In the square city, it is easy to distinguish the orientation and direction, but in the round city, it is a little more difficult. In addition, whether it is construction or maintenance, the technical difficulty of the round city is relatively higher. Obviously Its applicability is a little bit worse. You can't just raise some repair craftsmen for a city. It sounds like a lot of labor.

Furthermore, it took such a long time to build the city in order to make effective use of it, but the innate condition of the circle is placed there, no matter what shape the building placed in the circle is, there will inevitably be many corners that cannot be used. These corners can easily become blind spots where dirt is hidden, and it is not conducive to maintenance.

A city is both a settlement and a defensive place. In case of war, people hide in it and use the city as a base to defend it. The existence of these corners can easily cause some small problems and troubles.

After talking about a wrong example, Grandpa Sun became a little tired, his eyelids drooped, and his energy was obviously lacking.

Ji Mo still had a lot of things he wanted to know, but he didn't pursue the questions. He thoughtfully asked Grandpa Sun to go to rest first, and said that he would read the book honestly, think again and summarize what he had learned before.

Before that, he had learned this way.

He once heard Uncle Sun say that Grandpa Sun did not teach in this style in the past, but took people to see and do it himself. When Grandpa Sun was an official in the early years, he was a majestic and dignified person, and he taught his son later. When it was time, I often took him out to see it.

At Ji Mo's place, he was really old, he couldn't walk anymore, and his health was not so good, so he entrusted the matter to Uncle Sun Liu to do it.

Ji Mo's current study process seems a bit procrastinated. If he doesn't go out every day, he will always spend most of his time reading books by himself.

He still thought about building a model, but firstly, manual work is also time-consuming, and it costs money to find good wood. Second, he can now form a relatively complete three-dimensional composition in his mind, and he no longer needs a model to emphasize. If you have to do it, it seems to be showing off your skills.

Grandpa Sun also taught him this kind of skill, mainly verbally, or let another tribe, the only carpenter in the village, teach him.

Ji Mo's carpentry skills have been tested and can be justified. Even if he pretends to learn from scratch, in order not to waste too much time, he still shows his extraordinary level and easily passed this level.

Grandpa Sun didn't care much about this. He had the arrogance of a builder. He once said to Ji Mo, "It's just that you don't know how to put away bricks and tiles. You can only talk on paper. It's enough to have a gap in your chest. Focus on the overall situation. You can see the whole thing, and the rest is just to instruct others to do it. In this world, there are so many craftsmen who can always find someone who can do it. What you want to do is something they can't do at all."

This kind of remark sounds a little arrogant, like an unrealistic speech that is supercilious and doesn’t look at the feet at all. In fact, it also shows that the construction engineer does not rely entirely on handwork. Its comprehensiveness and overall management aspects of knowledge.

Ji Mo believed it at first, and he was a little secretly happy. Isn't this the same as being a boss?A boss doesn't need to know how to make accounts, as long as he can read and understand, and can find someone who understands to achieve the results he wants.

But later, looking at Grandpa Sun's requirements for himself, hehe, he doesn't have to do it himself, but he needs to know how to do it if he wants to do it.

That is to say, the hands can be discarded, but the brain cannot be discarded. It is only correct if you understand it, know how to master it, give advice, or at least let people make what they want.

This is really only a hands-on distance from doing it yourself.

Well, that's okay too.

"When you learn skills, you can't think about being lazy. You still have to be down-to-earth, and you can remember it deeply." Ji Mo quickly accepted it, and began to think that his exam work, this time, probably doesn't need to be a book. , It is also very good to build a famous city handed down from generation to generation!
