Episode 2 Chapter 33: Drinking in a Crazy

The title of frog in the well can directly make a guy like Yuantong, who has always been known for his profound and extensive insights into the garden, go wild. Even though he was talking without any restraint when he was drunk, Ye Tao said this, but he was indeed a little fundamental and was not aimless.

In that era, as an industrial designer who loves tourism, architecture and photography, and is extremely keen to grasp art and design elements, Ye Tao has put a lot of effort into gardens and architecture. His generous life allows him to travel around the world and enjoy the gardens and palaces he likes, collect various information to enrich his collection, enrich his understanding of gardens and architecture, and enrich his grasp of the combination of architecture and nature. It is precisely because of this that he has already had a lot of experience in garden design and construction management. The gardens and courtyards he built in Yicheng are all classic works.

Modern society likes to raise everything to the level of culture and understanding, from numbing every detail, studying each case thoroughly and digging to thorough habits, which has given Ye Tao a very solid accumulation and made his insights into gardens more than the era he is in.

No matter what style of garden, it should be said that it comes from nature, and it is also the imitation and refinement of nature by humans. For example, rockery in gardens often imitates some of the most exciting parts of natural mountains and forests, extracting and condensing them together to form a whole. For example, the various water bodies excavated in the garden are artistic summary of rivers, lakes, streams, streams, springs, and waterfalls in nature. It also concentrates various wonderful parts of natural water bodies. The integration of architecture and nature embodies the interest of poetry and painting in the garden and contains the artistic conception of humanistic spirit. Almost all the knowledge that can be studied separately, and even rockery, stone peaks, waterscapes, plants, and buildings, etc., must use a large number of examples to form a comprehensive view and extract the general laws and methods.

In this era, people in this era do not have the conditions to be in gardens in different places, allowing themselves to see various styles and designs with their own eyes. It is not only because of the lack of transportation and information, but also because the most distinctive gardens are often isolated from a small circle. Ordinary people have no chance to enter those magnificent and magnificent royal gardens. If you want to enter those exquisite and delicate private gardens, you must have a deep enough friendship with your owner. I think that Yuantong has seen many gardens in Chunnan Country at most, and you can only understand other situations through words and calligraphy and paintings. And you have also spent a lot of time in the monks in garden creation practice, the depth and breadth of their knowledge are limited. With Ye Tao's insight, it is really not an insult to say that Yuantong is a frog in the well.

"Get paper and pen!" Ye Tao ordered cheerfully to the servant standing aside.

The servant was stunned. Mingyulou was just a banquet. According to a more modern saying, the supply of consumables needed for cultural activities was not within their service scope. Although Luo Qin and Song Yu have been organizing the party in Mingyulou recently, those literati who need to record poetry and write poems, the paper and pen used by Luo Qin and Song Yu were prepared by people.

Lu Dan, who had been watching funny all the time, reacted much faster. Unlike ordinary housekeepers, he was originally a member of the Danyang playboy circle. In fact, as the young master of the Lu family, he also had an invitation. Even if he was Ye Tao's housekeeper, no one cared about him. He was the only guy with the identity of "suspense" among all the people present. Lu Dan poked out the window halfway and shouted at the guards who were marching under the chess downstairs, "Pick up the box behind the car."

Without a second thought, the four guards easily lifted a three-foot square box that looked quite large to the middle of the party venue. The box contained a folded and put together multi-functional workbench and two toolboxes. Even in this era, when conditions were available, Ye Tao implemented the concept of mobile office and designed this mobile suit. The folded and put together workbench flat and can easily install tools such as table visors. When installing, the tabletop is tilted a little according to another scale and fitted a clamp, which is a good drawing table. The scale engraved with brass on the tabletop, no matter where it is.

It is very useful in one form. The two tool boxes in the box are all kinds of tools and measuring tools for woodworking, metalworking, etc., while the other is filled with various most sophisticated tools for engineering drawing in this era and the brush and ink and pigments needed for writing and painting. In this era, the pigment exhibition is still insufficient, and Ye Tao's tool box contains four sets of pigments, Chinese painting, oil painting, watercolor, and gouache, each set is formulated according to the standard color of twenty-four colors. This set of pigments alone is enough to arouse the crazy pursuit of a large number of people who are interested in painting.

Lu Dan's reaction made Ye Tao very satisfied. Ye Tao smiled and ordered, "Use my own paper. You can find someone to go back and get another tube." Lu Dan's eyes lit up, and he turned his head and whispered, letting a guard do it. He himself carefully took out a wooden cylinder from the box, wrapped in a cowhide for waterproof cowhide, pulled out a piece of paper from the inside, spread it carefully, and clamped it on the table. Then he took out a series of drawing tools, pulled over a table, and discharged it neatly before bowing and retreating.

"Don't you dare to call a master if you build thirty gardens?" Ye Tao looked at Yuantong and said proudly: "I'll draw thirty gardens for you to see."

After saying this, the audience was in an uproar. Yuantong's face was even more incredible. But Ye Tao seemed to be silent. He took out a duck-billed pen, dipped it in ink, picked up a heavy copper ruler, and began to draw a garden diagram that overlooked the forty-five degrees on the side. This diagram that can not only display macro planning but also facilitates the display of details. Ye Tao came from the era when he was often used in building books and design diagrams, and Ye Tao was also familiar with this form.

Gardens can be classified according to the foundation site and opening method, and can be divided into artificial landscape gardens and natural landscape gardens. Artificial landscape gardens are to dig water bodies on the flat ground, build rockery, artificially construct landscape landforms, create buildings and configure flowers and trees, and simulate natural landscape landscapes to a small range. Natural landscape gardens generally choose parts of natural landscapes as the foundation site for the construction of the garden, and make appropriate adjustments, transformations, constructions and configurations of flowers and trees according to local conditions in the original landform. The characteristic of this type of garden is to use the natural beauty of natural scenery and the cost is small, so it can obtain natural landscapes that are far better than artificial landscape gardens.

From the perspective of the affiliation of gardens, they can be divided into royal gardens, private gardens and temple gardens. Royal gardens are often called gardens, gardens, palace gardens, imperial gardens, etc. Due to the strong financial resources of the royal family, they often have the planning idea of ​​putting imperial power first, and they are often carved beams and painted buildings, which are magnificent.

Private gardens belong to the aristocrats, bureaucrats, gentry, and literati, and are generally called gardens, villas, villas, villas, cottages, etc. Since most of them are "house gardens" at the same time, they are attached to the houses as places for owners to rest, feast, make friends, and study. Although the scale is not large, they often reveal a kind of exquisiteness from site selection and planning to construction and maintenance and construction after the garden is built, and often leave many exquisite scenery.

Temple gardens refer to gardens attached to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. They often retain the unique form of religion and have a special religious atmosphere.

Ye Tao, who had long been aware of the classification of gardens, has naturally chosen the most effective first move: temples and gardens. The graphics he depicted are classic works in temples and gardens, and the era when he came from Shaolin Temple in Henan.

Starting from the mountain gate, with Ye Tao's pen, classic landscapes appeared one after another. Thousand Buddha Hall, snow pavilion, Chuzu Temple, and Talin... When buildings with strong Buddhist characteristics appeared on paper and appeared in everyone's eyes, the entire Mingyu Tower gradually became quiet. Everyone was surprised to find that those complex and exquisite buildings and those exquisite and clever combinations appeared in Ye Tao's hands so natural, as if there was no need to think about it; and those patterns on the stone tablets and beams and pillars that could be displayed under such a scale, Ye Tao automatically and consciously drew them casually, without hesitation or modification, as if such a grand and solemn building complex had long existed in Ye Tao's heart, and what he did was just to draw them based on the realistic picture.

Shaolin Temple is really too big. Even according to Ye Tao's standards, his schematic drawing was very rough, and he did it very quickly. It took a whole hour to finish the whole picture. This was not the end. Then, Ye Tao replaced it with another pen, dipped it in red ink, marked the number sequences everywhere on the drawing, and made detailed annotations on the long blank space left on the edge of the drawing according to these number sequences. The annotations included explanations on the functions and structure of the building, explanations on the types of flowers and trees, and different couplets hanging in front of different building doors.

A schematic diagram of a garden may not be convincing. No matter how magnificent or the rigorous rules are, it may still be based on imagination. However, these annotations clearly indicate that Ye Tao has really made a very comprehensive consideration of this huge temple complex, the specific details and feasibility of each building inside. The couplets are undoubtedly extremely original to the surrounding spectators. Not only is the beautiful and elegant text, but it also shows that Ye Tao has a very good understanding of Buddhism. Just this point is like slapping twice in the face on Yuantong's face.
