When Xu Fuming was a child, he followed his father to various gardens to repair shops, tamp them down, polish them patiently and knock them slowly. In a blink of an eye, he became his own career. At the age of eighteen, he joined the municipal engineering team in Pingjiang District and began to maintain the floors, roofs and walls of small streets and alleys. From the beginning, he couldn't hold his temper, beating in countless bricks and gravel, and also calmed down to find the fun of paving the road.

In the year of no doubt, it was too late for outsiders to formally take over the business in his father's hands. As far as Xu Fuming is concerned, it is just right, as Mr. Lu Xun once said in "Hometown": "There is no way in the world, but more people walk, and it becomes a road." And xu teacher just walked on the road his father walked.

The paved road in the garden, not many people walk, is also chic and elegant, steady and decent.

According to historical records, in the main hall of Suzhou Guanwa Palace, "Wu paved the floor, but Zi Xing made a sound", and Fu Cha, the king of Wu, preferred stone. In the hall of Guanwa Palace in Suzhou, he paved the floor with catalpa board, and every step made a stone sound. This extremely luxurious paved corridor has become a historical allusion of the so-called "love of beauty and loss of country" that later generations relish. It also proves that the pavement culture has a long history.

Ji Cheng once said in "Garden Metallurgy": "Pave a street with bricks and build a small garden house. But the shop in the hall is full of grinding bricks, such as winding paths and long buildings with stones. Atrium can be stacked, and nearby buildings can also be palindromes. Octagonal inlay, choose goose to pave Shu brocade; Stepping out of the stairs, I cut the Qin platform with flowers. Brocade tiles, stone tablets, flowers on the ground, drunken carpets. There are rows of waste tiles, and when the lake stone is cut and paved, ripples surge; Broken square bricks can be used for a long time, and there are many ice cracks around plum blossoms. The path is ordinary and the order is exquisite. Lotus nut sock bottom, step out of sock bottom; Where does spring come from? Garland road is narrow and suitable for stones, and the hall needs bricks. Various Fiona Fang can be paved, ground into tiles and mixed with hooks as appropriate. "

In the final analysis, it is necessary to put on some elegant cultural tastes in another way.

There are laws but you can't, that is to say, do it at will. The key method lies in precision and the charm of "the usual way, the order of precision and propriety"

During the Warring States period, there were rice grains on the floor; There are quasi-sun patterns on the Qin ground; In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were mats on the floor. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the paving in gardens had developed into a beautiful situation, which condensed the unprecedented wisdom and imagination of ancient craftsmen and derived endless changing patterns. Singing poetry among flowers, you can sit on the ground: drinking under the moon, paving stones, grinding plum blossoms, like plum blossoms in various ice cracks. What an elegant and romantic scene, but.

Seasons, climate, geography, history and culture all remind people that gardens, as the carrier of Soviet-style culture for thousands of years, are paved with flower streets, traditional but not reserved; Innovation, from beginning to end, is still grim on the road of Xu Fuming's inheritance.

Need to balance the pursuit of skills, new materials and new art, old and new. According to the owner's demand, according to the terrain, flexible and ingenious on-site pavement, and follow the ancient techniques, according to the land and materials. The ancient materials are missing and the old laws are incomplete. "Adversity is everywhere, and it is fortunate to be idle." If you are empty-minded, you are stupid.
