I want to decorate a Chinese courtyard house on the first floor in the countryside. How should I decorate it?

Traditional architecture in China advocates "harmony between man and nature", and pays attention to "quietness" and "cleanliness" in residence, peaceful environment and implicit architecture. Whether it is the freehand Jiangnan courtyard or the independent quadrangle group, they all pursue the harmony between people and the environment. Pay attention to the stability, safety and sense of belonging of the living environment. While following the essence of China traditional architecture, new Chinese architecture pays more attention to the value of modern life. Different from simple antique buildings, the new Chinese architecture pays attention to improving the living comfort, such as paying more attention to privacy in design, strengthening lighting and ventilation, effectively improving the position of bathroom and kitchen in the living room, and better separating and coordinating the living environment between the elderly, children and couples. In addition, in the treatment of courtyards and basements, more innovative pens of modern life streamline have been absorbed, such as outer courtyards, sunken courtyards and inner verandahs. , making the architecture in China look more natural, modern and full of vitality.

New Chinese architecture has transformed various elements in traditional architecture through modern materials and technologies, and made necessary evolution and abstraction on this basis. The original appearance of traditional architecture is no longer visible, but the overall style still retains the charm and essence of Chinese folk houses. The spatial structure intentionally follows the layout format of traditional houses. The continued traditional houses always use roofs covered with tiles, but they do not follow the rules. They can absorb local architectural colors and styles according to local characteristics and have their own characteristics. Generally speaking, new buildings in China can be divided into two schools: the courtyard school in the north and the garden school in the south. The courtyard buildings in the north adopt the gray sloping roof, cheese tile and courtyard wall with a certain height in the appearance of Beijing quadrangle; Most of them are made of gray bricks with strong regional colors, forming a magnificent momentum; The spatial structure is to pursue the fully enclosed form of quadrangles and design courtyard space as much as possible. The Southern Landscape Architecture School is unique in the world with its gardening concept of "harmony between man and nature", exquisite landscape and spatial treatment methods. Most of the buildings in this school are based on Suzhou gardens, and pavilions and pavilions are also modeled after Suzhou gardens. Gardening techniques draw lessons from the common landscape treatment techniques in gardens, such as borrowing scenery, missing scenery, contrasting scenery and isolating scenery. White walls and blue tiles, tall horse-headed walls and cornices are the outstanding features of the building. The overall architectural image can be described as "white walls and tiles", just like China ink painting, which is elegant and poetic.
