"It is better to be an individual in the universe than to be a person who steals other people's wealth." The carefree and comfortable life they pursue is inevitably looked down upon by people nowadays: times are different, and in today's society which pays attention to business and material prosperity, I am afraid that no one dares to have such grand ambitions except a few truly blessed people.

Mr. Liang Qiushi said: "In a normal and good family, every child should have a desk and the owner should have a study." I think its purpose is to leave a spiritual reservation for everyone in a complicated world. Even without the brilliant talents of the ancients, Mo Bao bought the furnishings of the study with great wealth, and there is a suitable place to fly freely in the spiritual paradise, which will cause * * * at any time.
I don't think this article discusses how to restore the ancient learning of Ming and Qing Dynasties by piling up literary interests, but hopes to explore how to draw nutrients from our profound cultural heritage and apply them to modern life to decorate an elegant place for ourselves.
1. Small gas gathering is desirable.
Gao Lian's Eight Chapters of Respect for Life in Ming Dynasty describes the furniture of scholar's study in this way: the study should be bright and clean, not too open. Bright and clean can refresh, and macro-opening hurts the eyesight. Sanxitang, the study of Emperor Qianlong, is a typical small study. Accustomed to sitting in the spacious hall, the emperor found a moment of peace in his study, which was only about 4.8 square meters.
In the Ming Dynasty, Gui Youguang lived with him in a very narrow study called Ji Xiangxuan when he was young. "There is only an abbot in the room, so you can live alone." But the author "borrows books from the bookshelf, sings, sits silently and hears everything."

Modern huxing, taking advantage of the disadvantages of limited space, designs a small space surrounded by itself, which can be absorbed quietly, as if the outside world has nothing to do with itself, which can be described as turning disadvantages into advantages.
Generally speaking, the study prefers small apartments, and it is generally recognized that 12 square meters is more suitable. However, size is only a human feeling and a relative concept. If the virtual (blank) and the real (placed furniture) are not properly matched, even if the study size is appropriate, it will be narrow and embarrassing. For example, in the picture above, the size and pattern of the two study rooms are similar. One looks open and gas-gathering (left), and the other looks narrow and cramped (right) rather than gas-gathering. The reason is that the space is small and it is not suitable to put the desk in the center.
In addition, a slightly larger space is not necessarily not gas-gathering. Put a desk with the right size in the center of the room, so that the occupied area of the space is consistent with the blank area, and the study will feel smaller. Another example: the two spatial scales in the above picture are similar, one looks reasonable in layout and has an open space to gather gas (left); The other one looks empty, which hurts your eyesight (right). The reason is that in a slightly larger study, it is more appropriate to put the desk in the center. The ultimate principle is to make the indoor space suitable for the actual situation on the basis of a certain suitable area.
Step 2: Soft light
The desk is often placed in front of the window to meet the light, which is convenient for reading. Mr. Yang Yao said in the study of Ming-style furniture: "One end of the book case often faces the wall and window, the wall and window are open, and bamboo curtains are hung on the eaves."
Live a good life @ Box and Silence
If you can rent a different corner of the study, then the window position is definitely the most valuable. When a ray of golden sunshine shines into the room in the afternoon, make a pot of good tea or coffee, open a good book and quietly enjoy the fleeting and most poetic time of the day.

Facing the window, spring blossoms. However, not any window is suitable for approaching: the orientation of the window will directly affect our experience of working or reading by the window. If the desk is facing the sun, it needs to be covered with soft curtains; Or change the orientation of the desk to avoid direct sunlight.
East-facing windows, the morning light will be particularly dazzling; South-facing windows will have a lot of direct sunlight a day, covered with white fabric curtains, and the space is soft and romantic; There is no direct sunlight in the window facing north, which is very suitable for placing a desk by the window, and the desktop will be full of soft scattered light; In the study facing west, there will be a western sun exposure in the afternoon, which can avoid facing the direct sunlight, and the western sun exposure will become a romantic projection on the wall.
As for the light blocking artifact, Chinese studies like to use bamboo curtains; Modern style interior is suitable for simple and capable shutters and honeycomb curtains; Japanese-style Japanese-style paper window shows modern Zen.
3. Furniture decoration
In ancient times, people who read widely had to sit still during the day. When they sit down, they have to drink tea and recite poems when they drink tea. Poetry must be written, and writing must be carried out in the study. Although the study is small and complete, the desk is indispensable. In the study of Ming and Qing Dynasties, the case study, as the soul and heart of the study, is generally placed in the middle. Tall bookshelves or rows of book boxes are often used as partitions of indoor space and placed on one side of the desk. The sofa is placed on the other side of the desk as furniture for reading and taking a nap. How fragrant, how fragrant and refreshing, how many flowers. The furniture is randomly placed.
Literati in the Ming Dynasty often called literary friends in their study to conduct elegant collection activities. There are generally two things for literati gatherings. One is the piano, because you have to take it to visit friends. One is a tea stove, which makes tea to entertain guests. Chou Ying's Portrait of the Song Dynasty also shows us a study with such a function. In such a study, more emphasis is placed on reading rather than writing and drawing, and the bed becomes the center of the room.
I often wonder why more and more people choose the partition table against the wall in their study: the partition table is simple and practical; You can use the corner of your home; Small area, suitable for small apartment; But also conforms to the aesthetics of modern decoration style.

The most important reason, I think, may be that our office model has changed from paper and pen to computer internet. A partition table is not as deep as a traditional desk, even if the length and width can be adjusted as needed. The partition table is 30 cm long, so you can put down the computer, and 40 cm long, so you can put your arm on the desktop. Ikea's 75cm deep table is comfortable enough to put down writing and drawing tools. A good friend @ Tian Wu's painting desk is 70cm deep. His research is undoubtedly a good example of the modernization of classical research.

For friends who love paper books, sitting on the sofa has become the center of learning. A good friend @ Dragon Mustard created a very comfortable and eye-catching bay window sofa. And @ Zheng Jiayuan innovated the old furniture and customized modern cushions on the old sofa. For her, the study is reading on the sofa. In addition, she also designed a corner for drinking tea in the study. When she was tired of lying on the sofa, she moved to the window to enjoy it.

What makes the tea corner more charming is the tatami tea area made by the owner in the studio. Under the cover of the whole lonely style, the host used a very low budget, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and a teahouse was set up with old wooden boards at the bay window, which was really a bit of the tone in Chou Ying's painting "Axe of the Song Dynasty".

The study designed by @ Chuanxing is simple and modern in appearance, but full of ancient meaning in function. The small space not only has the functions of desk work, floating window reading and rest, but also has the functions of drinking tea and meeting friends.
Haohao Life @ Tianma Design-Shi
The vast collection of books needs the open atmosphere of the living room to satisfy. There is an equally wide teahouse in front of the bookcase, which can be used for reading, drinking tea and meeting guests. It's also very old.
4. Plain and quiet style
In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi said in My Humble Room Inscription: "I am a humble room, but I am a virtue." Although learning is simple, the spiritual world is the most enjoyable. This simple aesthetic has been handed down and influenced later generations. Wen Zhenheng of the Ming Dynasty believed that the layout of the study should follow the following principles: simple and elegant, convenient and comfortable, interesting, inexpensive and a mere formality.

Elegance and vulgarity are very subjective standards. But I think there are still some * * * understanding. For example, this work designed by @ Yunxing has simple lines and no excessive decoration, but the material exudes a low-key sense of high quality. There is no unrealistic attempt in this study. Very comfortable and practical, but very quiet.
Another counterexample erased the name of the studio and didn't want to damage his reputation with his own evaluation. This study is full of high-grade materials, such as marble, dazzling lights on bookshelves and furniture, which also looks like high-grade goods. On the contrary, there are few books on the bookshelf and the desks are small. Elegance is basically nothing, but it is suspected of showing off wealth.
5. Sexy plants
As for the location of the study, the ancients were very picky: "the city sounds bad, and the vulgar track does not reach the door." * * * One guest takes a seat, the castle peak is the household, and the running water is on the left. When you talk about the world, it's easy to float it with white. " Even if they are not in the mountains, many literati will plant flowers and trees around the study to contrast the tranquility. In short, the environment outside the study should be very poetic and elegant, which will wash away the vulgar thoughts.
In modern times when the residential area can't meet the requirements of the courtyard, we can only hope for the cleaning of the desk. Qing Palace is an indoor object placed on the desk for viewing, which mainly includes all kinds of bonsai, flower arrangement, seasonal fruits and strange stones, adding infinite vitality and interest to the study.

Chinese clean supply has a unique system, and clean supply plants are inextricably linked with Chinese furniture. If Chinese plants, such as asparagus in the above picture, are placed in an unsuitable modern style room, if they are not properly matched, the aesthetic feeling will be reduced by 65,438+000 percentage points.

Interestingly, tattered modern furniture can't do it, but the old-fashioned western pastoral style can actually support the oriental charm. Live a good friend @ Xia Xiaoxi made a partition table with an old elm wooden door board, and lived by the window with a western-style pastoral rattan chair to decorate the spring in the foreground and background. It's really a bit "the moss marks are green, and the grass in the curtain is green."

Modern indoor style, you can choose plants with vague style attributes. Reasonable collocation, no lack of Zen, or fairyland atmosphere. Don't forget, the most important thing is to create a poetic and vulgar spiritual world. It doesn't matter what it looks like. In such an environment, it is easier for people to break away from the fast and complicated real world and enter a simple and pleasant spiritual world. And the significance of decorating the study is so much.
