What is the emphasis on the decoration and furniture placement of Beijing quadrangles?

Doors, windows, ceilings, partitions, etc. In the ancient architecture of China, it was called decoration. Among them, outdoor decoration is called outdoor decoration or eaves decoration, and indoor decoration is called indoor decoration or eaves decoration. The outdoor decoration of Beijing quadrangles includes street doors, bedroom partition doors, curtain air doors, supporting windows, stools lintels, corridors and so on. Interior decoration includes green yarn kitchen, flower cover, several-leg cover, kang cover, railing cover, round lampshade, Duobaoge, octagonal cover, partition wall, ceiling and so on.

Interior decoration mainly plays the role of separating indoor space. Because quadrangles are generally three rooms, which need to be separated by partitions, but the three rooms do not exist independently and need to communicate with each other. When the use function of the room changes, it is necessary to cancel or install the partition, that is to say, the indoor partition changes according to the main needs, which requires that the indoor partition should not be a brick wall, but a wooden partition; It cannot be fixed, but it can be disassembled and installed. So, we saw the following wooden decoration forms.

Bisa kitchen: the most common interior decoration. It is a partition composed of several partition fans, which is located between the front and rear columns in the depth direction and plays the role of separating rooms. The partition fan consists of two sections, and the lower section consists of wooden boards (called skirts and lattice ring plates) and frames. The board is plain and carved, and the upper section is an exquisite pattern composed of plaid bars. Stripping is a double-sided method, with a layer of translucent silk in the middle. Yarn has different colors, such as milky white, light blue, green and so on. On it, you can also ask Dan Qing to make poems and paintings, Yongmei to sing bamboo, and the calligraphy is fragrant, so as to turn it into an elegant work of art. Two doors in the middle of Bisha's kitchen can be opened, and a curtain rack is attached to the open partition, on which curtains can be hung. In this way, Bisha kitchen can not only be used as a partition between rooms, so that two connected houses can communicate with each other, but also be used as a work of art for people to enjoy, which is really excellent.

Flower cover: If three rooms are equipped with two blue gauze kitchens, one bright and two dark can be formed. Sometimes two or three rooms need to communicate. When it is used as a living room or a living room, it can be decorated with another kind of flower cover. The application of flower covers in the decoration of Beijing quadrangles is very particular and varied;

Leg cover: one leg (frame) on each side;

Railing cover: there are two legs on each side, and a railing is installed in the middle;

Floor cover: partitions are installed on both sides, and the middle is left blank;

Floor-to-floor flower cover: the flower carving on it falls along the border;

Round mask: the passage is covered with grids, leaving only a round hole in the middle for people to pass through;

Octagonal hood: leave an octagonal edge;

Kang cover or bedspread: specially installed in front of the bed or kang.

The function of the lid is different from that of Bissa's kitchen. Although space can also be separated and communicated, communication is the main thing, supplemented by separation. Bisha kitchen is mainly divided, supplemented by communication. Very fine wood carvings are often made on the flower covers, mostly with traditional folk auspicious patterns that are auspicious and festive and easy to compose, such as three friends in the cold year, rich in Yaochi and generations to come.

Duobaoge: Another kind of interior decoration, called Duobaoge, also called Bogu shelf, is an irregular wooden lattice, which is specially used for placing antique toys and craft treasures. The shape and size of the lattice generally depend on the shape and size of the vessel. Antique shelves are also divided into two sections, the upper section is Duobaoge, and the lower section is cupboard, which can store temporarily unused utensils. It can also be used as a bookcase, and books can be put under it. Bo Gu bookshelves are more common in younger brothers or well-off families of scholarly families, and can be used as decoration and important furniture furnishings.

Slab wall: it is a common interior decoration of quadrangles. Slab wall, that is, slab wall, is a partition wall made of wood. Ordinary board walls and double-sided paper are only used for partition. The board wall is exquisite, painted or waxed, engraved with famous calligraphy and painting, and the word "sweeping green" is exposed on the rosewood base, which is unique.

Interior decoration pays attention to workmanship and seasoning. Eucalyptus is used in better interior decoration, nanmu and camphor wood are used in more exquisite ones, and the most exquisite ones are precious wood such as rosewood, rosewood and rosewood. There are also some people who take high-quality Korean pine as the heart and rosewood or rosewood as the skin and stick it on the surface. The surface looks like mahogany and rosewood, but inside it is pine that is not easy to deform. Although it is not a real material, the fineness of its process and the required scale are not easy to see.

As for indoor furniture, there are more patterns. Old Beijingers are very particular about each other. If you have a whole set of hardwood furniture at home, it is something to be proud of. Even if there are a few decent pieces of furniture, it is very rare. Nowadays, these furnishings have been replaced by more modern and fashionable houses, and even there are few left.
