Ji Chun Dali Ancient City Boutique Hotel

The great truth known at the beginning comes from two places: an imperial masterpiece in Jin's novel, the mystery of the pure distance of the ancient country in the south, and a shocking distance; In the 1960s, the movie "Five Golden Flowers" and a song "Meet at the Edge of butterfly spring" even sang the business landscape of the north and south of the great river.

The main reason is profound history, and vegetables have the reputation of "the country of cultural heritage". A long history and splendid culture have left a wealth of cultural relics and historic sites for Dali. Between Yu 'er and Yincang, the natural landscape is even more graceful, such as the mountains in the sky, the eel lake as a mirror, the secluded butterfly spring, the four wonders of wind, flowers, snow and the moon, which lead us to the ancient times 3,000 years ago.

A big reason is the main settlement of Bai nationality. Colorful folk romantic feelings, the architectural features of "three lanes and seven alleys" and "four matching five courtyards" all open a window for people to spy on the secrets of the ancient southern country.

The cold winter comes quietly, operating the most thrilling seasonal changes in the "wind" of the ancient city …

Flowing water around the streets and lanes is always open all year round.

Dali Prefecture, back to the feeling of our bustling quarrel, but in Dali Prefecture, it is an ancient park and closed. Up to now, the urban roads in Dali City have maintained a checkerboard-like square network structure. From south to north, a avenue intersects with it. The deep streets and lanes, the horizontal partition from west to east, the pure tile houses and the walls piled with goose eggs and stones in the whole city show the ancient parks and interesting novelty of Dali City.

Cold and crystal-clear spring flowers enter the city from Paradise Mountain for a mile, crossing streets and lanes, and passing through frontispiece. Preserving flowers and planting trees has become the tradition and custom of Dayuan people. Every household in Dayuan has a garden of different sizes. Precious Dayuan mountain camellias, azaleas and various red flowers and green leaves stretch out of the wall to form a floral fragrance, which permeates the whole city. When I first came to the ancient city, I shuttled through the streets and lanes. The tinkling sound of water was no more unique than my ears, and it was like playing three strings. "Every family has a flowing sound, and every household has a busy door." It really deserves its reputation.

Three squares on the wall, four match five courtyards.

23 kilometers north of the ancient city of Dali is a small village. There is a Bai resident in the whole village, the largest Bai village in Dali. Here, we see the typical Bai people's residence in the form of "three floors facing the wall" and "four in five courtyards". Only when you become a hospital, once you enter a fever hospital, the plane will be square. A big roof in the shape of green tile herringbone, with two floors and double eaves; It mainly faces south, with three bedrooms and five rooms. It is brick-concrete structure. The wooden structure houses are combined with tenons and mortises, and the junction of one courtyard or several courtyards is connected into a whole. The outer wall is painted with white (lime) and gray (thin mud).

Different from tribes, Bai people have been engaged in rice production since ancient times. Settlement is the biggest feature of agricultural nationalities, so paying attention to living conditions has become the most traditional way of life of white tribes. In the past, there was a popular saying that the white clan "has a big tile floor and a big hole", while the scholar "has a couch grass floor and fragrant oil", which means that the white clan's clothing shrinks to build a rich and comfortable house, and even if a scholar lives in a simple straw house, he is not careless in eating, and the straw house is often fragrant with oil. In the old days, building a slightly decent house usually became a major event that white tribes spent their whole lives. They pursue the spacious and comfortable residence, and take the family as a unit to become a courtyard, have a residence, cook, worship ancestors, receive guests, store food and feed animals. Function.

White clan people live in walls, doors and windows, gables and towers, which are very precious decorations. Zhaobi is three necessary buildings in a main courtyard with two rooms, and there is also a blue tile wall with two overhangs and a low roof. The front of the residential building is connected with two gables, making the three squares a closed courtyard. Draw the center of the wall with lime, and use four one-word books or embedded marble; Embedded in vermicelli, rectangle, circle, etc. Pattern, medium color is painted with water mill or powder. Especially the empty doors and windows of the main building are mostly precious wood, such as spruce, Toona sinensis, catalpa bungeana and Yunshan ... and so on. The golden rooster is rich, beaming, and the unicorn is auspicious. On carving auspicious patterns. The main entrance is the Sesame Flower Hall, which is finely excavated with the blue stone in Haidong, with a sharp corner base with clear masonry. The upper structure is carpet, finely carved, with a wooden gatehouse and cornices.

The mountain of Dian Cang only prints the stone spirit

There are many marble heads, and most of the Bai people collect materials needed for their lives locally, and widely use rocks as the main building materials. There is a saying in Dali that "the three treasures of Dali, the stone brick wall will not fall down", and the focus is on a characteristic of building materials. Rock is not only used for laying foundations and bricklaying walls, but also for the beams of doors and windows. The characteristic of this kind of utilization material handed down is the architectural method in the period of the southern imperial edict. According to records, the building of the South Imperial edict is "the whole stone square is built for it, which is more than ten feet high and stretches for several miles".

On the western Yunnan Plateau, a mountain naturally stands in Paishan and Baifeng Canyon, and dreams are generally suspended on the high lake with flowing clouds. This mountain of pallor is the biggest reason.

Cangshan's works are just right. The rocks that live here are as smooth as jade, or green and crystal clear, or contain clouds, or sink peaks and hide springs. They only look at the landscape of this clock to the world and chase the grand scenery of thousands of worlds, all of which are condensed in marble and turned into eternity.

There are many names for marble: a "DianCang Shi" is called "Laijiushi" by poets, a "Phoenix Stone" by people, and an "Indian Stone" of "Elm Stone", because the stone comes from the mountain of heaven, because it has the texture of "cooling intestines", and because there is a legend that "a beautiful girl in phoenix points to Cang Shi", the official advertising stone is a "tribute stone".

The world produces the most marble in Italy, but Dali in Yunnan is the most peculiar and beautiful. Marble is generally divided into marble with solid color and wood grain. The cloud ash and colorful flowers produced in Dagushan believe in wood grain marble. Cloud ash, also known as the flower of water, can be divided into three types: spring flower (green flower), autumn flower and water black flower. Pale jade (white jade, stone of Han dynasty) believes in solid marble. Only wood grain marble can produce a natural picture.

Marble mining in Dali has a history of more than 1500 years. Generally, quarrying is carried out on the precipice of a deep mountain. In ancient times, there was no safety guarantee, and means of transportation were needed. Every time a large mine was encountered, people were crushed or their brothers were crushed. "The craftsman's labor was bleeding at ten o'clock, and the blood soaked the stone bones." These two ancient poems are exactly the portrayal of stonecutters' stone life at that time.

Marble is fine in texture, which can be used as both building materials and sculpture. After tempering, it is as smooth as fat and produces strange and beautiful wood grain, so it is a first-class building, decoration and carving material. From ancient times to the present, it has always been an essential item for the establishment of imperial gardens in palaces and temples. In today's Beijing temples and 13 tombs, you can also see a lot of marble. We found that marble is also widely used by local people for columns of ordinary people, such as steps. Threshold "is now a corpse. Once upon a time, Jianchuan took it, and it was rich in cloud carved flower furniture inlaid with marble, which was created because marble had the characteristics of antipyretic and heat dissipation. Goblets, vases, pen holders, inkstones, tea pots, ashtrays, decorative screens, pendants, etc. made of marble cars. Handicrafts are not what we are discussing now.
