Walking in the magic city, today, I came to the Shikumen Room Museum. Being in it, the historical flavor is at the bottom of my eyes. Shikumen, Shanghai's most distinctive architecture, a blend of Chinese and Western cultures. The lintel where the Shikumen door meets the wall is called the stone hoop, which is very similar to the "hoop" of "headband" in Shanghainese. The name "Shikumen" has become "Shikumen" after the name "Shihuanmen" has been called "Shihuanmen".
In a typical Shikumen building, you can see a space of about two to three square meters at the entrance, and the first floor is connected to the second floor, with a glass skylight at the top, which is called the patio. This small space was once a playground for children in the neighborhood. Inside, there is a full range of functional rooms. The parlor room (living room), pavilion room, study room, old people's room, zaopi room (kitchen), master's room, and daughter's room are also unique.
? What impressed me most was the tiny pavilion room. A few square meters of the room might have to squeeze a family of several members. The location above the stove cloak room makes him cold in winter and hot in summer. Such a humble room, but the mountain is not high, a fairy is spiritual; the water is not deep, a dragon is spiritual. Many great literary figures, Mao Dun, Ba Jin. When they first came to the magic city, in this extremely difficult environment, silent writing. Being in the pavilion, perhaps, those great works of literature, some of them were born here. Pavilion room, it is small, simple but full of literary flavor, full of family love. I can't help but wonder, "What's so bad about it?" ?
The mahogany chairs in the living room, the eight immortal table; a pen in the study, an altar of ink; a staff in the old man's room, a compartment of the bed; stove Phi between the briquette stove, a large water tank; the master of the room of a small sewing machine, lacquer carving of the rouge box ...... each and every one of these pieces, all reveals that, Shanghai, the city of the exquisite, the city's delicate, the city's The city of Shanghai is exquisite, the city is delicate, and the city has its own flavor.
A hundred years of charm v. ordinary. Shikumen tells a different city memory.
