My "Important Life"

Seeing this passage reminds me of my "important life", or rather "review". Because this "important life" has long been in my heart, and it is still being improved.

Come on! Show you around my "important life".

The first thing you see is a quaint courtyard. You don't know how big it is and what's in it. The gray-black courtyard wall smells a little mysterious (I used to like Huizhou architecture, but the white wall always gives me a tepid cold feeling, so the courtyard wall you see is made of old bricks with a sense of story), and there are some naughty moss lying lazily on it. If you are lucky, you should also see two leisurely snails. Under the courtyard wall, the green plants I planted carefully and the flowers of the season are full of vitality, climbing like a competition, as if to bend over the courtyard head and let the people inside give them victory prizes. You should see their energetic spirit, right? Maybe along their "sight", you should be more curious about it.

Before you look back at the gate, the stone carvings you see on both sides of the gate are my two favorite poems, and the woodcut hanging above the gate is the name of my hospital (the name of the hospital can only be shared in my heart for the time being, because it will only be true in a few years, so bury it here).

Walking up the stairs, a smiling face has been greeted at the door. When you cross the threshold and stand in front of the mirror, this "smiling face" will share with you the painting on the surface of this stone and the meaning of those lines (that is to explain the origin of the name of our hospital, so you should listen carefully).

Looking at the wall is like just visiting. If you bypass it, it will be a completely different world from the outside world-an amazing retro art college.

"Smiling face" begins to introduce the layout of the yard and the matters inside: in front of you, this straight stone road leads to the main hall-the teahouse; There is a stone arch bridge in the middle to the left and right, and the stone arch bridge on the left leads to the painting and calligraphy room; The stone arch bridge on the right leads to the studio (both the painting and calligraphy room and the studio have pavilion names corresponding to the theme of the yard and studio, which are also kept secret for the time being, so you can freely use your imagination first); There is a square stone table and four round stone benches at the intersection of the middle road and the stone arch bridges on both sides (players can play chess there); There are two ponds (two long ponds are listening to frogs, watching fish, watching raindrops and lotus leaves, listening to rockery and flowing water) in the courtyard dam space with the middle road as the dividing line to the halls on both sides; The stone arch bridge formed across the pond to the temples on both sides also constitutes a unique landscape.

After the stone table, let's go to the painting and calligraphy room on the left first.

Walking on the stone arch bridge and looking around the courtyard, there is a unique view. At the end of the stone arch bridge, before entering the painting and calligraphy room, you must first pass through a wooden arched passage (the arched passage is actually a small space with a washbasin on both sides, and there are many wooden brands hanging above the washbasin. You can know the names of various cakes and drinks by careful inspection). Wash your hands, choose your favorite wooden sign and open the long curtains, which is the real way to enter the painting and calligraphy room.

"If you don't see the scenery, the fragrance is lost." It's the coffee table on the tatami right in front, and there is a faint fragrance floating in the incense burner! The woman kneeling behind the coffee table, wearing a slim coat, elegant long skirt and bright green buttons, embodies the style of the painting and calligraphy room. She is smiling and nodding to us (there is a bright green plot, because bright green will make people feel comfortable visually and give people a kind of cordial and soft feeling, so you can see that the "smiling face" clothing in the small courtyard is mainly bright green). And the word "static" hanging on the wall behind her should give you a feeling of peace of mind. You know, I had a hard time finding someone who could write such a "quiet" state.

Look around the indoor space. Tea is divided into two areas, and there is a huge wooden tube between the left and right areas, and books are neatly placed from bottom to top. On the left column are China's ancient and modern books; The cylinder on the right is books from other countries.

There are two circular push windows on the front and rear walls of the left and right areas, so you can enjoy the lotus fish swimming around the courtyard or the bamboo grove stream outside the courtyard while reading.

Behind the column, you will see some interesting paintings and calligraphy hanging on the solid wall on the left, and wonderful photographs hanging on the solid wall on the right. "Smiling face" will also tell you that paintings and photos will change with the seasons and environment. Next to each work, there is an introduction of the author and the work, and the price of the work is also marked. You can take it home for collection if you like. Of course, it would be a pity if the introduction said "Not for sale".

Browsing finished. You can give the wooden sign in your hand to the "smiling face" in front of the coffee table and then choose the book and seat. You can sit by the window and enjoy the scenery and sunshine while reading; You can also sit on the futon under the cylinder and swim quietly in the sea of books.

After reading this book, I think I will show you another space behind the "quiet" wall-a simple and unusual little room. There is a long table and some stools in it. There are all kinds of exquisite stationery and envelopes on the table, as well as colorful pens. There are three big mailboxes on the back wall. One says "now", one says "future" and one says "submit box". You can write a letter to yourself or your future relatives and friends, write down the date and address of receipt or the date and contact information of your letter on the bag outside the envelope (so that we can remind you), and then put it into the "future" mailbox; Or write a letter and throw it into "now". Saying words or feelings of gratitude to relatives, lovers and friends is also a beautiful expression ... in a letter; You can also put your beautiful articles or wonderful photos (we have a theme every week, and you can also play freely) into the "submission box" (if your works are included in our weekly magazine, you will get special rewards; If the work is included in our "small courtyard books and periodicals" at the end of the year | the title is undetermined |, you will get a surprise prize; If your work wins the "Best Creation" of the year, you will get a very mysterious reward! )

Ps: There will be two books on the jar, one for browsing and one for sealing, for those who like to buy and collect. You can also send your favorite books to Smiling Face, put them in the "Now" mailbox and give them to friends who want to share or give them away.

Oh, great! There will be a reading meeting every week in the painting and calligraphy room, and the content may be a discussion by a writer; It may be that teachers share reading instructions; Maybe it's a group of friends who love reading to share their reading experience ... If you want to attend, make an appointment with a smiling face.

Out of the arched wooden door, pass the stone table to the stone arch bridge on the other side, and then show you around the "studio". I saw a square wooden door covered with dark blue cloth at the end of the arch bridge. There were polygonal wooden windows on both sides of the hall centered on the wooden door, and the hollowed-out patterns on it had an intriguing shape.

Uncovering the heavy cloth and presenting the room may give you a feeling that the small studio you see in the cinema in peacetime is similar: there is a screen on the left wall, a stage under the screen, and rows of seats come down. The only thing different from the cinema is the coffee table under the far right wall (you can order drinks and cakes) and some stills hanging on the wall.

At this time, a wearing a light makeup, holding a bun, wearing a tender green slim knee-length cheongsam, stepping on a beautiful "smiling face" with thin heels came to us gracefully and calmly. She will tell you softly every day that the "studio" and the cinema are "similar in shape but not in spirit":

From time to time, there will be sharing meetings of leaders in various fields, release conferences of newly released films, discussions among people in the film and television circles ..... and romantic proposals may be unexpectedly encountered. Every night, there will be an hour-long program on the stage (maybe drama, traditional opera, storytelling, dance, musical instruments ...), and the rest of the time, the "studio" will scroll to play wonderful or classic movies ... If you want to know the preview of the "studio" and join an activity, just pay attention to the social software of the small courtyard in the "smiling face".

Go out of the "studio" and walk to the stone table facing the main hall. Then I will show you my "tea space" grandly.

Walking up a few steps, I saw a small corridor with two rows of lush dwarf tea trees on both sides of the gate. Looking through the square push window above the tea tree, you can vaguely see some scenes inside, and maybe you can smell the tea fragrance floating from the push window. Can't wait? Before entering the gate, you can enjoy the elegant names of halls and rooms carved with wood on both sides and above the gate.

Let's go first, cross a wooden threshold and enter the lobby. The first thing I saw was a portrait of a tea ancestor, facing the door, and below it was a burning incense. If you love and worship tea as much as I do, maybe you will be as grateful as I am when you step into the lobby and face your tea ancestors.

Centered on the statue of tea ancestor, the "Tea Space" is divided into two small halls: the left hall is filled with all kinds of tea products, and the right hall is filled with exquisite utensils and rare treasures that we have scoured from all over the world. In the middle of the two halls, there is a long coffee table facing the central hall. Two tea artists (wearing a bright green cotton and linen dress and neatly rolling up their long hair with a plain wooden hairpin) are all smiling and greeting us after we enter the room.

Let's look at the tea first. Go to the tea table on the left and sit down. Rattan chairs always give people the feeling of being warm in winter and cool in summer. The simple flower arrangement on the coffee table brings out a poetic sense of picture. ...

Look at the tea products in the wooden lattice on the wall behind the tea artist. There are hundreds of them. From the famous mountains in Pu 'er, to the famous green tea in various producing areas, to the famous fir, yellow tea, white tea, black tea, scented tea, Sri Lankan black tea, Assam black tea ... every tea in Mugeli has sample teas that can be ordered, suitable gift boxes and suitable teapot storage. If you are interested in a certain kind of tea, you can soak in a smiling face and listen to it while drinking to tell you the origin, technology, characteristics, season, time and people suitable for drinking. You should have heard the story of the origin and origin of this kind of tea. If you like this tea and want to share it with your friends, it will be a good reference to customize the gift box corresponding to the tea in the grid for you; If you want to take it home for collection and drinking, you can refer to the teapot in the wooden lattice, and at the same time, "Smiling Face" will share the storage method and suitable drinking years of this tea.

There is a small area on the right side of the coffee table for tea lovers who want to make their own tea. Smiling face will teach you how to choose your favorite tea, then teach you how to weigh the tea and steam it in a bucket, then wrap it in cloth and knead it into the shape you want to press, put it under graphite, then put your feet on a cloth bag and shake it on graphite until the tea is firm. Next, "Smiling Face" will give you a small flying paper in the square (you can write your blessings to yourself or your friends on it, or you can write affectionate sentences or romantic poems ... you can play freely anyway); Then "Smiling Face" will give you a piece of tea packaging cotton paper, on which you can write your name (also free to play) with a brush; Finally, "smiley face" will teach you how to put flies in tea, and then wrap the tea with cotton paper, which is completely suppressed.

Keep your own good tea and you can find long-term companionship. It takes years to finish a piece of tea. It's like life. How meaningful it will be to hide a piece of tea while the years are still alive, walk with the years and grow old with yourself.

There is an open tea class or theme tea party once a week in the tea area. There will be a tea traditional craft inheritor, a tea research expert or an old tea man ... sharing tea knowledge (about tea origin, tea growing environment, tea varieties, tea making, tea tasting, tea health care principles, tea tasting experience ...) and friends who love tea. There are also tea-related flower arrangements, hanging pictures, incense sticks, tea art, tea room space design and so on.

There will be a tea bucket once a month in the tea area. You can bring your own good tea to receive the prize.

Come on, let's walk slowly into the appliance area. Looking around, perhaps the colorful utensils on the wooden shelf behind the coffee table have an illusion that you are in a world of flowers and flowers. But when you sit down, according to the introduction of "smiling face", when your eyes slowly swim from left to right, you will feel the unique charm of every gadget in the "big world".

Like the tea area, the background wall of the appliance area is also made of wooden grids. China has five famous kiln series, five folk pottery series, purple sand series, blue and white series, firewood series ... Taiwan Province tea sets, Japanese utensils, Moroccan utensils ... iron pots, silver pots and copper pots for boiling water ... tea room ornaments and strange gadgets of various materials. ......

Next to each piece of work in the wooden lattice, there is a work introduction and a producer introduction. You can not only listen to the sharing of "smiling faces" in the appliance area, but also watch and appreciate it quietly by yourself. If you take a fancy to a work, there are exquisite gift packages in the grid for you to collect and give away.

There is an electrical area on the left side of the electrical area. In the monthly open class of home appliances, there will be a production teacher in a certain field and friends who like home appliances to share their knowledge and lead them to learn how to make them. Make a cup for yourself or a lifelong friend, and engrave and draw on it. Perhaps only those who love life, love tea sets and respect the traditional culture of China will understand the meaning better.

Thank you for this. I don't know if my yard brings you enough or satisfaction. But I think life can still have an "egg". Come on! Close your eyes and let me give you a little surprise.

When I tell you to open your eyes slowly, will you whisper to yourself, "What an amazing one-minute journey this will be?"

An eye-opener: a unique small courtyard.

Yes, behind the wall with the statue of tea ancestor is a passage leading to the inner court. )

Look right in front of the yard, facing us is a two-story building with only four rooms, representing the styles of spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively, which can be used by friends who are destined to stay; On the left side of the yard is a row of bungalows. Except my own unique pavilion, all the other rooms are smiling houses in my yard. On the right side of the yard is also a row of bungalows with three rooms. They are the kiln room for burning cups, the handicraft workshop and the kitchen. The cups made in the appliance area will be taken to the "kiln room" for firing; In the manual workshop, everyone can make their own wooden products (tableware, furniture, tea sets ...), pottery products (vases, tableware, decorations ...), stone carvings and DIY ornaments ...; The kitchen will be interesting. On the far right side of the door is a firewood stove (the cooked food is particularly fragrant); In the middle is a long counter (used to cut vegetables and match cuisines); On the far left is also a long desk filled with all kinds of brewed wine and some pickled and brewed dishes. And the two chefs who cook in it are also very interesting. They represent two food systems in the north and the south respectively, so you don't have to worry about a simple "North-South problem" like eating jiaozi or jiaozi on the solstice in winter. Moreover, in the small courtyard, you will eat delicious organic meals prepared by two chefs every day, and you will also eat festive foods made by the chefs themselves (such as jiaozi, moon cakes, glutinous rice balls, jiaozi, etc.). ) on holidays. You can also cook a meal for your family or friends in the small courtyard kitchen, which will be an interesting experience.

Back in the yard, I saw that the center of the yard was occupied by an extremely tall ginkgo tree. Under the tree, a chubby kitten lies lazily enjoying sunbathing. Our arrival only made it slowly raise its head and meow, then close its eyes and continue to sleep in the sun. There is a square table in Zhang greatly, and there are several long stools beside the ginkgo tree, which is where everyone usually eats. You may also find residual fire in the open space next to you (either left by the bonfire party held in the yard when there are many friends, or the result of baking tea in the silent night, or the sweet potato I just baked ...) In addition, the open space in the yard is covered with faint grass and unknown flowers. ...

Yes, seeing here, you should probably know how I spent a day in the small courtyard. But what I want to tell you is that it is not every day that you meet me in the yard. Because I often walk in the mountains to find tea (for the first standard of "cleanliness" of tea in the small courtyard), on the road of travel (for the renewal of the small courtyard to find inspiration and novel treasures), and in various cities (for the rich activities of the small courtyard) ......

I'll show you around my "important life", and now I'll want to hear your opinions and suggestions after visiting the small courtyard. Because this small courtyard is actually a goal I set after I fell in love with tea, and it is also my plan after I am forty years old. Before that, I have been constantly "perfecting". Maybe your suggestions and opinions will give me a good inspiration.

Well, at this moment, for the sake of my "important life", I have to return to my "urgent and important life" for the time being. In the next few years, you should see a simplified version of my small courtyard. Welcome to visit. At the same time, you can join me and start looking forward to the appearance of the small courtyard in my "important life"
