What is the concept of "gold" in ancient houses?

The "introduction" of residential courtyards refers to the level of old-style houses and courtyards. There are several rows before and after a house in a bungalow. One row is called "Entering". Take quadrilateral as an example. Siheyuan is a house with a gatehouse in front of the yard.

If it looks like a "mouth", it is called a courtyard; The shape of "sky" is called binary courtyard; The shape of "wood" is called Sanjinyuan.

Generally speaking, in a big house, the first entrance is the gatehouse, the second entrance is the hall, the third entrance or the last entrance is the private room or boudoir, which is the activity space for women or their families, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter at will.

In layout design and environmental awareness, the ancient buildings in China show a strong concept of combining yin and yang. The famous phrase "How deep is the courtyard" by Feng Yansi, a poet in the Southern Tang Dynasty, is often used to describe the endless extension of traditional architecture in China.

Courtyard generally refers to the space surrounded by front and rear buildings and corridors or walls on both sides. Here, the architectural reality dominates the sun, while the courtyard dominates the shade. The "vestibule" and "backyard" formed by the combination of reality and reality are promoted in an orderly and continuous manner according to the central axis, which greatly enhances the artistic charm of the combination of yin and yang in traditional architecture.

This may be the main reason why the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong and other buildings will leave a deep impression on thousands of tourists in Qian Qian.
